Doctor Shield 13 Gallon Trash Bag are super strong they don't break easily, it keeps the smell of garbage inside the bag I dont have to worry that the smell will waft out to the whole kitchen area. I love not having to worry about leaky bags when I take the garbage from the kitchen to outside. I've had no bags rip on me so far which is awsome. For that alone I would honestly recommend it to my friends and family don't be fooled by name brands give it a try. You'll come to love it too.
