I know it can be very difficult to get into this sort of thing, if it's even available.

I'm an older person myself. (Close to your mother's age.) So I know how difficult we older folks can be. I just wanted to leave a note letting you know I read your post & wishing you the best with your efforts to work through this most difficult situation.
The "bags" are actually the package that her sanitary products come in. She rips them open to the point where they just don't hold the products after being used... I get her the heavy duty reusable grocery bags (plastic, because my city put in a bag ban) when I go to the store. They hold so much better, but she would rather do the thing I have asked her not to, knowing I have a legitimate reason for asking.
