Leaks just like a fart at the wrong time!
on September 23, 2026
Posted by: Ashley2026
Yep, you read the title right! These bags rip just like you did after one too many bean burritos. Or they leak just like that fart did when you thought it wouldn't.
Absolutely the worse trash bags I've ever bought. Every single one leaks or tears. I'm now having to double line my trash can just to catch all the mess. I've used these for years with no problem, whatever you changed you need to reverse or you will lose a lot of customers.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have purchased Glad kitchen garbage bags for many years and never had a problem. Recently I did have an issue with the 13 gallon ForceFlex Tall Kitchen bags. I don't overfill the bag but the drawstring ties break every time I pull it out of the garbage can. I am thinking twice about buying this product again.

Disappointed
on July 25, 2025

This last large box that we purchased has had about 95% of the bags tear along the side seams. Most of the time, this is occurring when just trying to put the bag in the can. We have not changed trash cans. It appears the seams didn't get aligned correctly and it's causing catastrophic failure.

Losing Quality
on June 30, 2025

We’ve been purchasing these specific trash bags for as long as I can remember, even when I was growing up, my parents purchased these. Never have had the issues I’ve had with the last now 4 boxes. Every, and I mean EVERY. SINGLE. BAG. in each box has pulled to shreds when I try to take it out of the can. We tried not filling it as much, and still, as soon as we tied it and barely lift, the entire top half rips off and there’s holes everywhere. Very very disappointed in this product at the moment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just what you need

These bags are just the right size for my can. Always stay upright and tight while putting in trash and is easy to lift out. They smell great and help to keep the kitchen fresh.

Tear resistant and very durable
on July 25, 2024

You might think that all trash bags are equally strong and durable, but that is not the case at all. I've tried so many different trash bags from Hefty to store brands, and now Glad. Most bags break or tear so easily at the top handles where it bunches together. The Glad forceflex bags are much stronger and do not tear easily. They are flexible enough to be able to stretch when they are filled. I've never had one tear. Not crazy about scented trash bags as the smell can be overpowering. I prefer the unscented, but the Glad bags even come in a lemon scented version, which isn't bad. Will definitely continue to purchase the Glad forceflex bags.
