In my house we have slightly oversized trashbags, have the bag oriented the other way (so when you pull the bag out it does not get stuck), make sure the drawstring is over the lip, and this depends on your trash-can but just see the picture. (placeholder text so I can edit a link in for non-Kbin)

Yeah, I probably just need to accept that I have to buy bigger bags that are actually too big for the can.

I just checked, apparently we have a ~16 gallon can (15 7/8ths... Rubbermaid 3541, "Slim Jim" not cheap for plastic) and use 33gal bags. I doesn't seem that much bigger but an overfilled bag will still have room in it when removed (it's useful for last-minute additions on garbage day).
I don't know if you need to go this far, but maybe it is why they still fit the can properly with the not-expected-fit orientation like I described to prevent overfilling. 30gal might work, I guess it seems there isn't much choice here though (otherwise I'd say try 5-10gal higher).
