Product Insights
The Soft Handfeel Garbage Can is a 6.4-litre bin with a hinge-only, motorless lid that opens from any side with a light push and self-closes, offering twice the capacity of typical pedal bins without batteries or pedals. Its soft, grippy matte resin finish resists stains, water, rust, and impacts in humid bathrooms, and the lift-off lid simplifies emptying, though the soft-touch coating requires gentle cleaning with mild detergent to slow degradation from skin oils and humidity that can eventually cause stickiness. As an entry point to Simons Maison's exclusive bathroom collection, it provides a warm, quiet, and practical alternative to standard bins, with a matching wood upgrade available.
Verified claims

- Lid has a soft, slightly grippy matte resin finish.
- Maintenance
- The swing lid is designed to lift off for emptying, though one buyer reports it is difficult to remove; gentle cleaning preserves the soft-touch coating.

- Collection
- Simons Maison exclusive; part of a matching bathroom accessories collection also available in acacia wood.
- Design continuity
- Entry point to a Simons Maison exclusive bathroom collection with wood upgrade.
- Capacity
- Based on its 7.25-inch (18.5 cm) diameter and 9.5-inch (24 cm) height, this can has an approximate volume of 6.4 litres (1.7 gallons); this is a rough estimate, not the manufacturer's listed capacity.
- Mold and mildew resistance
- The non-porous resin surface lets water bead and roll off instead of soaking in, denying mold and mildew the moisture they need to grow.

A small wastebasket for compact spots like half-baths
This small can fits tight spots such as half-baths, bedrooms, and home offices where larger bins won't, and reviewers report it does so without feeling like a quality compromise. The trade-off is capacity: some customers note it can feel undersized in large households or shared bathrooms, leading to more frequent emptying. Clean with gentle methods, since harsh chemicals and abrasive materials should not be used on it.[1,2]
A decorative wastebasket for the bathroom vanity
Use this small Simons Maison can as a bathroom decor accent — per an analysis of customer reviews, its refined design and compact size add elegance without overwhelming the space. Its soft-touch finish is also described as feeling pleasant, adding a premium tactile touch in high-traffic spots like a vanity or nightstand.[2]
Hiding bathroom waste with a swing-top lid
This garbage can is designed with a swing lid that hides the can's contents, keeping waste out of sight in a bathroom. Reviews analysis describes the magnetic lid as convenient for closing when it works, though some customers report it may not always close reliably or return to its closed position without a manual adjustment.[2]
Stays put in busy households
Per analysis of customer reviews, this can's substantial weight keeps it stable and prevents tipping, even in homes with kids or pets. The same heft that helps it stay put makes it a poor choice for anyone who wants a bin they can easily carry between rooms; frequent movers may find it cumbersome.[2]
Emptying and changing the bag in a small bathroom can
This wastebasket suits everyday bathroom waste that gets emptied and re-bagged regularly. According to an analysis of customer reviews, some users found the magnetic lid can be tricky to fully remove and the inner liner difficult to detach, which made bag changes awkward.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Soft Handfeel Garbage Can: Choose this if you want a compact, elegant waste bin for a bathroom, half-bath, bedroom, or office: its matte resin build, refined design, and swing lid that hides contents earned compliments in reviews, and its substantial weight keeps it stable in households with kids or pets. It measures 7.25 inches (18.5 cm) in diameter and 9.5 inches (24 cm) tall in Black or Taupe Grey. Note that its small capacity means frequent emptying in larger households, the heavy build is cumbersome if you move it between rooms often, and reviewers report the lid can misalign and the cover and inner liner are hard to remove for bag changes.[2] | Dark Faux-Wood Wastebasket: Choose this if you want a compact, lightweight bin for a bathroom, home office, or bedroom: reviewers report it fits tight spots and slides under a standard desk while still holding daily waste, and its warm dark wood-grain look is said to blend with wainscoting and wooden accents in rustic or traditional spaces. It measures 10.25 x 7 x 11.75 inches (26 x 18 x 30 cm) in one size, brown, with practical cutout handles for easy relocation. Note that it is not real wood—it is made of very strong, rigid cardboard with a faux-wood finish, so it suits light everyday waste rather than heavy-duty use.[3] | Acacia Wood Wastebasket: Choose this if you want a small, decor-forward bin for a bathroom, bedroom, or countertop: it is a compact 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter by 10 inches (25 cm) tall, made of responsibly sourced acacia wood with a removable magnetic swivel cover, and reviewers praise its solid, premium build and chic natural wood grain. It suits light waste like tissues rather than high-volume rooms, with reviewers noting it fills up too quickly as a main bin, and the lid design may not accommodate standard trash bags well, so smaller bags or tucked-in liners may be needed. Because it is natural wood, each piece is unique and may vary slightly from the photo.[4] |

Très douce au toucher effectivement

sturdy, simple and elegant.
Waste basket
- too heavy for a simple waste basket - color is bland and unappealing - most of all: I cannot easily remove the cover, so this makes placing garbage bags inconvenient
Sleek and quality
This cute little garbage can is so perfect. The quality is top tier and it's got a solid weight to it so it stays in place despite its smaller size.
Beautiful
