do "normal" 8 gallon bags fit this trashcan or do I need to buy simplehuman brand ones?

I use the kitchen tall bags. I pick up the slack by twisting the excess to tighten it and push it through the hole in the back of the black insert. It works out perfectly and way cheaper.

Not well. I order and use the H bags specific to the simplehuman butterfly step trash can which I own x2 and LOVE!

We use "normal" 13-gallon bags from Costco, and even though they're a little baggy/long at the bottom, it's cheaper than buying the matching brand. I've never tried the 8-gallon but it's worth a shot.

Yes, "normal" tall bags work fine. I use the Kirkland-brand bags from Costco. The Costco bags are wider than the inner waste-basket, but there's a simple solution. Near the top of the inner waste basket (on the front side) is a hole. I just poke and cinch the excess width of the bag through that hole until the bag fits snuggly around the top of the basket. It takes just a second to do, and allows using any brand bag. When using Costco Kirkland bags, I discovered the Costco bags are slightly shorter than the height of the inner waste basket, so, to provide added support to the bottom of the plastic bag, I simply placed a small block of Styrofoam at the bottom of the waste basket to help support the bottom of the plastic bag when the bag's full and heavily weighted by trash. It wasn't necessary to do, but as I had a block of Styrofoam on hand, I placed it at the bottom of the waste basket to help support the heavy weight of full trash bags. Hope that helps!

the bags don't have a very wide mouth so I really doubt that you could use one for a 5.2 gallon trash can.they make some bigger bags but be careful because some of them are super thin.

Yes! They don't fit as snug with clean lines, but I just ran out of the ones that came with the purchase and put a grocery bag in. I will say the original bags are perfect. Medium trash bags work too.

Good question, I have the home style trash can and I think it is about a 25 or 30 gallon. The trash can is a little small, so I make sure that I tie the string to where it goes under the two handles. So if you want to try something a little bigger it might fit, just make sure that the can is a ROUND can.

Stealth, Hefty's 8 gallon twist ties' trash bags are durable and perfectly sized for this bin. They work pretty well. No worries of tears when it's time to empty out the container. You can purchase these bags at Amazon. Thanks for contacting me ;)

Regular 13 gallon trash bags with drawstrings work great. Every brand I've tried has fitted the can well; some of them just need to be stretched a little to fit over the liner opening. The simple human bags fit the liner perfectly but are not needed; after trying them, I actually preferred my regular 13 gallon bags.

My bags measured 8" by 14" and do fit my canister machine, however, the first set of bags I ordered said they fit but were marked wrong and were for an upright. I sent them back and ordered a different set of 9 bags from Envirocare Technologies thru Amazon and they were correct. The first ones were a set of 15 generic Kenmore bags but they were definitely marked wrong. Hope this helps.

No, those would be too wide and tall. It comes with custom bags from simplehuman that fit the can perfectly. I believe the average plastic grocery bag would work however.

If it is one of their baskets, it should say what size it needs. I am not sure how well these bags work with a random trash can; they seem like they are made specifically for their line of cans, and not worth getting for another brand.

I don't know about the simple human bags but I can tell you normal bags are fine - that's all I've ever used.

Hi, I have the largest garbage can in my area which is 65 gallon and the bags fit with plenty of room to extend up and over so I can secure them. My can looks like the one in the photo. I actually use bag clips on each corner to secure the bags and they work fine, even when I have heavy things in the container. Just don't forget to remove the clips on garbage day!

I use Sunbeams TrashRac 5 gallon bags. The bags fit great and stay put while in the can.

I assume you mean the standard grocery store plastic bags that they pack your items in at checkout. The answer is no, they won't take them as the unit is too deep. We use GLAD "ForceFlex" large trash bags - 30 Gallon. Any 20-30 gallon plastic bag will do.

I use standard kitchen trash bags. I'm not familiar with planet wise liners...

Simplehuman offers great trash bags also. I wish they would show that info. in the ads. You can find 16 gallon bags in a lot of stores and on the internet. Good Luck.

I use Costco's 13 gallon bags. They fit really good and stays in place. Cheers

You can use any bag you like. I use the 13 gallon drawstring bags from Costco and they fit perfectly.
