Abstract: The present invention is directed to a drawstring bag comprising a first panel and a second panel. The first panel and the second panel are joined along a first side, a bottom, and a second side. The first panel and the second panel thereby define an upper opening of the bag. The drawstring bag may further comprise a wave shaped drawstring disposed within a first hem along the upper opening of the bag in the first panel and a second wave shaped drawstring disposed within a second hem along the upper opening of the bag in the second panel. Each of the wave shaped drawstrings may be out stretched prior to insertion into the corresponding hem to narrow the upper opening of the bag to provide for the bag gripping the openings of trash containers.
