Does anyone use these with paper bags? And they don't rip? Afraid opening is too wide for those.

I don't know how you could. It's almost too big for 30 gal. trash bags--does better with 39 gal.

I would think not. They work very well with large black plastic garbage bags (not kitchen sized bags), but I wouldn't try them with paper bags.

Sorry, I have only used plastic bags. It has been a lifesaver. 60 bagas of leaves-I wonder how I managed before.

I haven't tried it. I think they need to be used something with a bit of stretch, such as plastic, as they are designed to spring out when you get the bag over the top of the frame.

Not designed for paper, unless you have paper bags that stretch like plastic.

They won't work as they are.. width-wise they will fit. However, these bags lack the plastic spindle that bags on board bags have. Because of that, the bone BOB dispenser will not close up all the way. I have the bone BOB dispenser. What I have done is saved the plastic spindles from BOB bags and rolled these bags onto it. I found that if done correctly, you can fit two rolls of bags on one spindle and it will fit inside of the bone dispenser (it's snug at first, but you can still pull the bags out), if that's the one you have. To me, it's worth it, as buying these bulk bags has already saved me a great deal of money.

Bags are NOT made of paper. I believe the plastic is quite durable - not really thin. Maybe like a good thick zip lock bag. If something pointed is put in the bag, it may rip but that would be true of even a very thick plastic.

I feel they are very easy to seperate.... Also I find a quick lick of the fingers makes them effortless to open... In the past I have unfortunately bought thin bags, bags that rip, bags that won't open.... These are certainly none of the above.... Just my opinion; I will be buying more when we run low :)

Like the thick microfiber cloth rags? That's a good idea! I think it might work. I think the only place you may have trouble would be fishing it through the top hole. You'd probably find it easier to just stuff them in the longer slot on the front and pull them out the same way. Actually sometimes I even stuff my grocery bags into the longer front slot instead of through the top because it's quicker sometimes.

I had also purchased these for my wedding, but my wedding is not until July 2014 so I have not used them yet. However, I gave some to a co-worker and he has used them and said they worked. The paper is very fragile and wouldn't take much to rip. I think for such a large quantity and the price you pay are reasonable. You get what you pay for. Hope this helps and you have good luck with them!

We use a few different types of holders. One is shaped like a mini pail with cover and we found it more of a pain keeping it assembled. The other issue is whether the spindle in the container will fit the paper or plastic tube which the bags are wound onto. We find that the best style is the soft zipper case. These bags fit fine. These bags are easy to pull out and separate. The writing on the bag tells which side is up. It is just a better product than any we have used before. We found the hard plastic shapes to be more of a bother, falling off, or just clunky. Yes I would assume these bags will fit most any container. We use a few different types of holders.

The bags haven't given me any problems, they don't have a lot of stretch so they aren't apt to tear. Not one has torn on me yet and ripping them isn't easy either. However; the bags are not that big, but I can fit a day or two in one without any issues. I love them.

Dear Stephanie: I checked to see how they would work and found that they should be okay since the Organza bags have a tight weave. Good luck. Pat

I've only used them for candy and baked confections, but they aren't flimsy; so I'd say give them a try. I've never had one tear or split, that's for sure. Hope it helps. :)

I sent these back as soon as I got them. you could seal if the bags don't have a slit down the side.

I've done it. It did not rip the bag. I have also rolled them up. Both ways worked.

They are on the thin side, the same thickness as other similar bags I've picked up at a pet store. I've never had a problem with them tearing though.

Hi L. Liptak,They should. It is deeper than I thought it would be when I bought it. I don't have a large paper grocery bag with me to check. I use small plastic garbage bags because I put items with food on them, like used catfood cans and this step trash closes tight and keeps the bugs out. If your paper bag is a little high you could just fold it over the sides of the top. Liz

I thought about that, too! But I haven't tried yet. They aren't a typical size and I'm not sure if my printer will choke trying to feed the plastic through. Also, as they're a circle folded in two, I suspect slippage would be an issue, as well.

I don't think there's enough clearance for the thickness of a paper bag. Plastic produce bags are too small. Though more expensive, the J Bag fits perfectly, and is invisible.
