I have been using this leak protection kind of trash bags for months. My husband and I always cook together, and he throws stuff out without clearing liquids in the sink. Sometimes when we go out to eat fast food, i find the boxes and liquids stuffed in there. Its a life saver! I absolutely love it. We haven't experienced leaks in our trash container inside or outside our home. When we take the trash out we aren't afraid its too much trash in one bag. It simply stretches.
