Can you use regular trash bags or non-Diaper Dekor brand liners?

If you just wanted to use the unit as a holder for a trash bag, yes. The Dekor brand liners are rolled and sized to fit in the top part of the unit, and pull down to create the next bag, with a cutter on the inside of the door. If you are looking for a trash bag holder for any bag, this unit would be cumbersome, used in that manner.

I can't speak for non diaper dekor liners as I don't know what they look like. But I don't believe regular trash bags will work very well in this pail. The way it's designed, I don't think there's anything for the regular bag to hold onto at the top.

No, the replacement bag for the system fits the width and has no end... You keep cutting the edge as it is full and tying the end to make a new bottom for the bag.

Not really; I guess you could, but it would take some rigging. The great thing about the dekor though is that the liner is actually one long bag that you can cut and tie off at any point so you can dump it when things get stinky without feeling like you are wasting a whole bag. The refills last a really long time, it's one long bag - and its easy to change out, just pull the liner, cut, and tie it off.

I see that others have answered this, some saying yes some saying no, but I just want to add that the nice thing about this trash can and the liners that are made for it is that you don't feel like you are wasting anything. Sometimes with regular trash bags, they start to smell and so you throw them out even though they are only half full. With this system, you cut off exactly as much bag as you need every time so there is never any wasted.Edit: my husband just reminded me that the point of the diaper can is to keep the smell in (and it does!!) so the point I was trying to make isn't that good. So on second thought, I think if you can get regular trash bags to hang correctly in this can, they will work well!

No, I don't think so. It's a pretty specific system inside the can. You might be able to, but I'm not sure how successfully. If you want to use regular trash bags I would just get a regular trash can. Honestly, I'm not a fan of this product and I don't think it masks the smell at all. I also have a Diaper Genie and I think it works much better. You have to buy specific bags for that as well, but it's more worth the money than this one.

The top opens and inside looks like a regular trash can. There is a lip on the inside that allows you to fold the edges of a regular trash bag over so that the bag does not move or slide down. Just change the bag as frequently as you see fit. It would seem that if you are creative and want to save money then this is the way to go.

I just use plastic bags from the supermarket. A little trickier - because they don't fit exactly. But they do the job, and I get to recycle all those bags!

No you've got to have a liner but even if you bought the larger liners they'll work too because we ran out of small one one time and were able to use the big ones in the small bottles. You can buy just regular walmart or playtex brand liners.

I have never bought trash bags. I have always used the supermarket and department store bags for this purpose......way cheaper and they fit perfectly!

I use the Planetwise bag liner. I just throw it in the wash with the diapers.

Yes. I use off-the-shelf bags; however, you do get a supply from simplehuman when you purchase this wonderful can.

You don't need these liners, but I highly recommend using them. Newborn poop is really runny and these save a ton of

I have owned this litter box for over 6 months and I have NEVER used bag liners. Personally, i think bag liners just get scratched up and do more harm than good. So yes, you can. However, the purpose of bag liners is to keep the litter sanitary and clean - I would definitely be sure to clean the litter often so feces don't stick to the bottom or anything like that. - Heather

I use cloth diapers (which are very eco friendly) and they fit into each brand I have. I am sure they will fit into a disposable diaper as well to give extra absorption but I'm sure they are meant for cloth.

The top of the bag has to be secured tightly In order for the middle of the bag to turn above the diaper. I don't think a regular trash bag would work

I use regular trash bags with mine. The simple human might go on easier but if you have ones that stretch at the top a bit it's fine.

I use all kinds of trash bags in this, there is a little hole on the inside of the can liner that lets you feed excess bag into it for a better fit.

We just use regular trash bags. It works just fine. The drawstring bags are the best. Easy to dispose of. Just make sure to get the sturdy ones, not the cheap ones that rip easily or you'll have a nasty mess to deal with. &lt;3

Yes you could use generic bags but they will most likely show. I have never used generic bags though so I'm just speculating.

Yes you can use regular trash bags. Though the tall kitchen garbage bags will be slightly small; we are able to make them fit (we just stretch them a bit to fit over the rim. Though since they are not actually sized for the trashcan, the bag will fill up before the trashcan does. Does that make sense? Whereas the Simple Human bag are made for the trashcan, so you can fit a lot more in the bag before having to change bags. I bought a huge box of normal tall kitchen garbage bags before buying this trashcan; so we are using those up before I even consider buying different bags. Hope this helps. I have to say though... I LOVE THIS TRASHCAN! Works easily, sturdy construction, and stains wipe off with ease.

I used bumpkins flushable liners. They fit just fine. I personally found that new born infant baby poop just went right through bumpkins liners, so I moved on to a fleece washable liner. But, as I recall, the fit was just fine...just didn't suit my needs at the time. hope this helps :)

Also, instead of the liners that you can buy for these diapers, I use poise adult liners. For me they work much better and absorb more than liners made for the diapers.
