Aunt Wanda: Cable/Cord Holder, Ideal for Household Cable Management, Used Slevee Design to Hold and Protect Cable/Cords, 100% Designed and Manufactured in The US.

I bought these because I travel off and on and I wanted a better way to store the cables and cords I bring with so they aren't just flung about my suitcase (and now with the eBags packing cubes I also got it's double organized!) and getting knotted up or twisted.The tubes do not have a slit down one side so that you can open up the tub and slide the cords/cables in - that's a con in some respects but a pro in that it also means they won't accidentally open if you stuff too much in there and come out.The tubes are 2" in diameter but the actual opening you can slide your cords in is 1 3/4" while the length of the tube is just over 4 1/2". This means that your small cables like a mini-USB or iOS charging cable will be too small and fall out easily unless you put several cables in at once. However, my aux cable and my HDMI cable (to hook my laptop up to a TV) fit quite well.For really long extension cords - 10' or more for sure - don't expect this to totally fit the bill. I've had to use two tubes as the one tube just seemed too small and the sides flopped and two tubes allowed me to get them more nicely corralled. This was because depending on the thickness of the cord you won't be able to do that last fold in half to get it inside the whole tube because it was a 'heavy duty' cord. The same goes with the power strip as it won't fit a normal power strip and the cord in there (or even just the power strip). You can use it if you have a long cord on your power strip to hold the cord part but instead I chose to use the 3rd one I had on the extension cord.Overall Opinion: It does what it says and the material (rubber?) seems very durable so it'll hold up well (great for traveling!) but unless your cords are all thin don't expect it to hold much. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture and the description but any thick cords just won't work to hold them all but may hold parts of the cord if you're just trying to shorten some of your thick cords (e.g. your PC power cord that's strewn about your floor towards the power strip).

The extension cords in my garage have always been problem for me, so I finally decided to do something about them. After reading the reviews, I bought three Original Aunt Wanda 3-Paks. That turned-out to be NINE mistakes. I had five extension cords that I wanted to secure, but I ended up using TWO of Aunt Wanda's tubes for only ONE cord, and I had to use Duct tape for the four others. The Duct tape solution didn't quite please me, but it will do until I find something better. Anyway, unsatisfactory as the Duct tape is, it's better than Aunt Wanda's solution, which isn't any kind of solution.The main problem with Aunt Wanda's tubes is that they have been misrepresented or, rather, inadequately described. In other words, people have to be told what thicknesses and lengths of cords can be organized with Aunt Wanda's tubes. They are definitely not for 25-long power cords. Although I won't be buying them again, I assume that they are appropriate for some cords. What cords? At first, I thought that they might be good for organizing the cables behind a computer, but they seem to be too large for that. Where, then, would they be useful? Frankly, I have no idea. I just can't think of a situation in which these tubes would be the answer. LATER: I would have known the answer to my question if i had read the reviews before ordering. The waste of money was my fault, not Aunt Wanda's.

Love this product. I was looking for something to organize my bathroom. I hate the cords on my counter top and floor. Nothing worse than walking in the bathroom and stepping on the end of the cord in the middle of the night. I purchased something to hold my hairdryer, curling iron and straightener but it didn't solve the cord problem. I didn't want to use ties because it would have been a huge hassle to tie and untie every day. These solved my problem. It is very quick and easy to put the cords in and out of the sleeve. What a difference - no cords all over the counter. It really cleaned things up. My husband is VERY happy with the results. I actually used the extra ones for small extension cord storage. Works great for that also.

I originally bought a box of 12 of these as Christmas stocking stuffers (2 per family, and 4 for me!), and mainly bought them because of the name. I had to tell everyone what they were for, and when I used mine to put up the extension cords after Christmas, I purchased 3 more of these 3-packs, because they are GREAT. I took our big box of electric wires, and used these for extension cords, HDMI cables, audio cables, and several other wires in that box. Now when we need an extension cord, we don't have to rummage through the box and untangle several wires to get what we want. I love this product!

These are very strong sleeves with enough room for about one full length 6ft surge protector cord to be wound up and inserted with little effort. Wrapping up one cord is pretty straightforward: Slide it over one end, bunch up the excess, and push it into the "Aunt Wanda". That is about it. I didn't expect much more from it, but compared to other options (zip ties, Velcro straps, etc.) the cost difference may not be best for everyone. Ironically my son just walked in with Aunt Wanda's lost cousin, the paper towel roll.

Didn't realize that they would be so big. I will find a use for them but was looking for something for the smaller, thinner cords you need to charge your portable devices. These are better for the thicker cords that you have on a computer or appliances. Good price though.

I was hoping to use these for my Macbook cord to keep them organized while I travel, but it was too big. The Little Bob is too small. I wish there was a "Medium: size. I have used these to organize my computer extension cord in my office to keep it out of the way...not what I wanted, but very good for that purpose.

These are pricey at over 2 bucks a piece, but even so I have bought 10 of these packs to organize my cables. Nothing else does it as good. These are for larger cables, long ethernet cables, usb extension cables, PC power cords, etc. For smaller cables use the Little Bobs
