How well do the bags control odor? We've used regualr plastic bags before but, no matter how many we wrap it in, the odor can't be controlled.

I used the powder-to-gel material included and also about a half cup of good kitty litter. I use the World's Best. It's expensive but great at controlling odor in litterbox and portable toilet. And it absorbs the liquid making disposal easier.

They control odor very well. Make sure its sealed well. If I need to keep it inside til morning light, I used a 5 gallon bucket lined with heavy trashbag lining and seal the lid, this makes sure there are no accidents and no smell until it can be safely disposed of.

we have only used these when camping, so outdoors, but seems not to smell...

To me it is not so much the bags that control the odor but the Pooh-Powder that does most of the work. I use bag purchased from a local outdoors store and the Pooh-Powder, works great. I have had it set up in a "potty" tent in 100+ degree weather for 12 hours and no smell. I remove the beg and place it in a one gal zipper bag, carry it home and trash it. Days later the trash still does not smell.

The odor is controlled by enzymes and the heavy plastic zip lock outer bag. Used the "Wag Bag" brand. A little pricey but sturdy.

After use, does the lid fit tight enough to control odor? Is there such a thing as biodegradable bags?

If this is a commercial large bin used for stores or apartment complexes, Odors Away will have little effect. You may wish to contact the company who owns the bin and ask them to power wash it and disinfect it.If it's just a small trash can, you can use it and it will really help, especially if you use a plastic bag inside. I use it all the time after the rubbish bag goes out for collection. U usually wash the trash can a couple of times a year. Hope this helps.

This bin is designed to keep odors in. There aren't any ventilation holes. There isn't a "seal" either, but the bin keeps odor contained pretty well. I've had no issue with odor even going 4 days between emptying.

The manufacturer fixed the smell, there was no odor when I ordered it November 2013. My first dog (Yorkie mix) weighs 10 lbs but he was tall and did not fit the bag well. He also tore the bag from the inside. My other dog (5lbs) was able to move around just fine. Bergan stood behind their products and gave us the second bag. We now only use the 2nd bag for the smaller dog.

I use 3 "family size" (7g/bag) bags. It's really a matter of taste. I found 2 bags was to weak,but we also use flavoring most of the time

I did not use trash bags. I purchased the Carex Health Brands Commode Liners (7 count pack of 6). They contain an absorbent powder to reduce odors. Hold up to 2 quarts of liquid. The container is not very big so I would think that some trash bags could be used. The Carex bags are not inexpensive but work well to contain the liquid since they contain the granules to absorb liquid whereby a trash bag does not. I was more concerned with odor control so did not even consider the use of trash bags.

Unfortunately, the hand held system and these bags will do absolutely nothing for what you place inside of the bags. I tried everything and the bags became inflated with air almost all the time. It was gradual, but they don't work. hope this helps. I own the larger system and that always works (not the hand held).

To B. Langman,I recall reading your post when I went through them all, and wondered then, and now if there would be a penalty for abandoning two of the others? One has 5 layers, the other 7, and that makes for sturdier bags, I would think.If you couldn't use white garbage bags, and you responded to my initial quest for someone who has used all four types of bags, which of them was your favorite, and why? Tx

Why and where do you use bags in a Brisker? I have used one for many years and never used any thing but the wrappers the crackers come in. I clean the bottom several times a year, never had an odor.

I don't open the bags.... the aroma seems to be plenty potent when bags are still closed, and the effect probably lasts longer as well.

I find that the bags for the lucky champ last longer. I found litter genie is better with odor control, but the champ's issue with odor is mostly when I am dumping litter into it. The smell that comes out when I push down on the trap door thingy can be pretty intense, and will take about a minute or two to dissipate. However, the litter I use might be to blame. Still, I find the champ more convenient and easier to deal with when it comes to dumping the litter and replacing the bag.

Regular garbage bags for diapers? Yes it will contain it somewhat. My baby is still only breast fed, we use cloth diapers and a wet bag cloth diaper liner and I never smell anything. Granted she isn't on solid food yet but I still feel like this pail contains smells pretty good.

Yes it controls odor. It last for about Six months. It is designed to keep months away but will control odor too. We respray our set with the cedar spray after the six months is up. Very safe and a natural smell.

The key is to have multiple boxes. I have two cats--one which is 18lbs and diabetic. He urinates alot! I like the box but question if it has enough odor control.

Idk. I've been having trouble with mine. The bags aren't holding a seal. They must have holes and I only used them once.

Absolutely, it is amazing how it controls odor. You will not be disappointed.
