Although they are a little thin, they seem to do the job just fine. The best part is, they don't stink of perfume or other "anti-odor" chemicals. Now that grocery stores are no longer providing plastic bags, I had to find something else to use in my small trash cans that didn't stink up the house. I couldn't find anything locally that didn't stink. I am so glad simplehuman makes such nice and simple and odor-free trash can liners.
