We use these to line a wastebasket into which we drop droppings...droppings of kitties. So, pee pods and tootsie rolls go into this. You can actually fill the bag with the dense mixture of presents and it does not even begin to tear. The tensile strength of the plastic is quite impressive. The rolls store easily, and I really like that they come in 2 rolls as we have 2 litter boxes in different parts of our home.
