FORID Garbage Wastebasket Bathroom Bedroom Reviews Summary

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "These fits bathroom or small bedroom trash cans perfectly."
• "These 8 gal bags are great for the smaller bathroom cans and the bigger one in our office."
• "These bags are the perfect size for my home office trash can and the bathroom trashcan."
• "These little bags are perfect for those small wastebaskets that no other bag seems to fit."
• "These are the perfect size for my iTouchless 2.5 gallon bathroom trash can."
• "Perfect fit for our 6 quart under the sink garbage can. It’s sturdy enough to hold household/kitchen garbage."
• "These are perfect for our small trash container - I am so happy Amazon carries these. All other bags are much too large - these fit snugly."

Cons:

• "CONFUSING!! This time they are very loose!"
• "These bags don’t fit well over some small 2.6 gallon trash bins that are a little larger around the top than other small bins."
• "Too narrow for our 8-gal trash cans in the office."
• "They used to stretch a bit to fit my bin but now they just break!"
• "When they say SMALL they mean it! It fit beautifully in my tiny upstairs bathroom trash can, but alas just missed the downstairs one."
• "Diameter too narrow for most small trash holders."
• "The ones I received do not - at least not well. The opening is too small and I have to tear them to get them to fit."

Strength and Durability

Pros:

• "Thesecvags are pretty but more importantly, are thick and sturdy. And, these hold a LOT-- I can't believe how much I'm able to stuff inside with no holes or tears created by my unpredictable hands."
• "They're good heavy-duty bags, suitable for scooping 6 litter boxes without any issues."
• "These bags are great for small bathroom trash cans and cat box litter trash. They are strong and durable."
• "These bags are a nice weight."
• "These bags are strong, leave no odor when partially filled, just secure closure overnight."
• "These little baggies have been a life saver. Ever since I became pregnant, I've had one of these baggys lining my waste basket and by my side. And let me tell you....not a drip leaks."
• "I love these trash bags !! They are so durable and I love the color rotation you can do."

Cons:

• "I’ve bought these twice before. But today for my third time… they are SO THIN and cheap!!! They rip apart when you tear a bag off!!"
• "We have used this brand for years. Now this is the second batch in a month we have had to return because the bags are not perforated well and the bottoms rip."
• "Also on the thin side, did not look too durable."
• "Bought these twice before and have loved the quality and how thick they were. Well I’m guessing the other pics on here are from an older shipment when it was still good quality. For some reason, the recent shipment they sent me was see through and super thin. QUALITY WENT DOWN and I can’t use these for kitchen stuff anymore as I’m scared it’ll pop a hole with how thin it is now."
• "The bag doesn’t have a lot of give and tears easily when trying to pull it over a bin with a tight fit."
• "Overall, these are decent colorful trash bags, but they're a bit too thin, cheap and see-through. They get holes in them way too easily."
• "Every other bag rips and we have to rebag the trash. This is of course dirty/messy and winds up using more bags, which in effect makes them more expensive."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

• "These compostable waste bags are a great value and necessary due to the new composting requirements imposed in San Diego."
• "Good to know these are Environmentally friendly, also."
• "More eco-friendly AND a bit less expensive than others I've bought for the same purpose."
• "The thing I like the best, since I could have bought other bags that served my purpose, was the fact they do not harm the environment!"

Cons:

• "I don't know why you guys advocate as if you are all compostable, I always buy the green compostable trash bags, but they're ugly I'm tired of this green. So I bought the white ones thinking they were compostable as well because Forid Is all about the environment Just look at their information page these bags are the complete opposite."
• "The Amazon item description and the packaging on the box displays trees and leaves. The product detail even says, '...garbage bags are environment friendly.' Other than not giving off a plastic odor, these bags are not environmentally friendly."
• "Though I guess it's not eco-friendly as it can serve as heavy-duty plastic bag."
• "I was also hoping that this bag is biodegradable, but I must have selected the wrong item."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "The colors are beautiful. The bags are durable and they are semi see through."
• "The colors are perfect for my home."
• "I only tried the pink color bag but wow is it ever BRIGHT PINK!"
• "Love the quality and bright colors."
• "I love the bright colors."
• "I love the different colors."
• "The colors are very eye-catching."

Cons:

• "Well, I wish they had some not-so-bright colors. Perhaps they do and my husband just chose these."
• "I wish I had gotten a white color for my colored trashcans."
• "The colors are quite bright, so if you have a specific color theme in the room, these are not for you."
• "They smell so weird. The smell is fine when they're wrapped up but when you open up the bag it has this weird plastic-y chemical-y smell that fills my entire bathroom."
