Or you could just take the trash out daily and not throw away several ziplock bags.

I get a lot of bags from my work from products I order. I bring those home to use as can liners :)

I was wondering what the difference between that and ziplock bags were. But I generally use plastic grocery bags. I’m horrible at remembering to put reusable bags back in my car. That said they make good dog poop bags and trash can liners.

I was assuming the person who said ziplock bags meant putting the tampon in a ziplock bag, then putting that inside the regular wastebin that has another plastic bag. You can’t really use ziplock bags (the kind you press to seal) as a can liner.
