Always rip below the drawstring when lifting them out of the trash can. Or fingers push right through the bag trying to push trash down. It's a bag that may leak proof,and tuff. If you treat it like a newborn baby. I've bought generic garbage bags for half the price that perform better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bags are very strong and the Fresh scent smells great. They fit perfect for my 13 gallon trash can. They do not rip easy and the ties make it easy to close up tight. I really like these and plan to purchase regularly.

I received a sample of the GLAD FORCEFLEXPLUS GAIN LAVENDER DRAWSTRING 13 GALLON KITCHEN TRASH BAG from PinchMe. I had used the regular ForceFlex version so, in comparison to that, the scent does last longer. Re: durability, I don't recall any tears.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a drawstring bag and noticed the ForceFlex variety. Great product. The bag hugs my garbage can so it does not fall into the can. I can stuff the bag full and the bag flexs to allow that extra. Drawstring closes bag and gives you a handle to carry to the outside trash bin.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone is toting that they have a bag that doesn't rip. That is a very important feature for me and most of the brands you find has that. However, where most fall flat is with the draw string staying at the top of the trash can when having trash crammed down. This holds on as I expect them to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are strong, tall and durable bags. They don't tear easily, have large capacity and drawstrings that make it easy to take trash out. I haven't had any issues with tearing when I take the bag out of the trash can.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got to sample glad forceflexplus with gain lavender drawstring 13 gallon kitchen trash bags. I thought they smelled good , was a strong but not over powering scent and pleasant. They fit perfectly in my trash can in the kitchen. I filled it to the point of no return and still didn’t rip or bust open. Held everything like a champ. Kept the orders in the can til time to take the trash out. I would and already recommended this product. Wasn’t even too expensive give em a try.

When my regular Force Flex Unscented box of trash bags unavailable, I replaced it with the Force Flex Plus with odor shield (this product) because it said "Unscented" on the front of the box. We were opening presents and thought that the overwhelming perfume smell was coming from someone's new shirt, but couldn't figure out which shirt. Later, we discovered it was coming from the new "Unscented" trash bags. There was obviously a mistake when this product was labeled Unscented. For people with chemical sensitivity issues, this would be a real problem. For my family it just smells terrible. An odor of strong perfume doesn't mix well with meal preparation and it makes my food pantry smell like bad perfume instead of food. I'm returning the rest of the trash bags.

I have used Glad Forceflexplus before in the past but never the Gain Lavender Drawstring 13 Gallon Kitchen Trash Bag. I have received this sample product free from PINCHme. I was pleasantly surprised on how nice it smelled and how it covered up other smells.
