Packing Cubes 8pcs my FL Backpack Organizers Set with Shoes Bag Travel Luggage

I have never used packing cubes before. Traveling to Ireland for eight days, thought I would give them a try. I wasn't sure which type of packing cube to go for, but after reading travel blogs and lots of reviews, I ordered Compression Packing Cubes with Unique Number AND Color Coded Organization System for Packing Carry On by Compass Rose Travel Accessories. However, I couldn't resist the adorable prints on these packing accessories, so I ordered them too and decided I would do a comparison test.So I have just returned and these bags were the hands down winner (surprise!).I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of construction. The zippers glide smoothly, the seams are perfectly straight, with no loose threads. The seams are reinforced. The fabric is very lightweight, so they are not necessarily built for ruggedness, or for over stuffing. I would not use these for compression packing. They fit neatly into my checked bag (I didn't try my carry on), all with easy grab handles facing out. There was a lot of room left over; they fill a 27" bag about half way.Honestly, the visual of my bag being completely packed and so gorgeously organized was almost worth the price alone. I used the drawstring bag for my hairbrushes which are usually difficult to pack. The smaller drawstring I used for a swimsuit. There was a large envelope pouch that I used for medications. The largest bag was perfect for folded sweaters, and the medium sizes were great for rolled sweaters or folded jeans. I used one for dirty clothes as the trip wore on and the clean cubes were emptying.The other brand recommended using their identical packs for organizing by day, or by weather, or by clothing type. I tried to pack one outfit per day in each of their medium/small sized packs and I found it difficult. I was only bringing two pair of jeans and planned on wearing them twice each. Also, I didn't want to pack a different bra for each day(!). Fitting a sweater or a light jacket in a pack that size was impossible. So I really appreciated having a variety of sizes of packs. One advantage they had, however, was mesh windows that allowed a peek inside so you don't have to unzip to remember what you packed.PROS:cute fabriclightweightfolds down to tiny rectangles for storagevariety of sizes and shapesable to pack bulky items wellfits very neatly and uniformly into a suitcase when stackedCONSnot especially durable/ruggedno see through portions to identify what is insidecould use one or two smaller cubes

For now. I was impressed at how many clothes I was able to fit (and not over stuff). For my weekend trip I was able to pack several days worth of clothes - approx 5 days worth. A gift blanket my toiletries and 2 books. With a little room left over.I am not small 5'10" AND plus size my clothes vary in size from 22+ so I was very surprised how much fit.I work for an airline and we travel a lot for business and pleasure. My coworkers are impressed.If these hold up well I will definitely refer and if not stars will drop and I won't be referring.Will post pics when I get a chance.

I absolutely love these cubes. Using these adds more space in my suitcase. You wouldn't think so but it does! The little baggies are small but they are perfect for the odd ball items. There are enough cubes for my husband and I to pack for a 4 day vacation and our tops, bottoms, and under garments each had their own cube.

Bags are cute one of the zippers came unstitched but customer service was amazing and sent me out a whole new set immediately. Very light weight.

These are great for suitcase organization for my one year old. I plan to use one for diapers one for wipes, beach towels, suits and all her clothes etc. Will be easy to access. Makes traveling less stressful when in the car and scrambling to find something in her suitcase.

I just purchased these cubes and have just completed my first trip using them and they are the best! Everything stays so well organized and they make things easy to find, which is great. I could not believe the difference. These bags are very pretty, I chose the floral print and they each have their own handle so you can take the cube out to the bathroom or wherever without having to carry loose items. At the end of my trip I put all my dirty laundry into one cube and it was nice that it was kept separate from the clean clothes. Can't say enough about these cubes! Don't be afraid to try them, I think you will like them.

I just recently heard about these packing cubes. I will never pack again without them. I am trying to do the rolling your clothes, not quit have the hang of it but I am getting there. By rolling your clothes you can fit more clothes in your suit cases They keep all your clothes nice and organized. With short stays I just place the cubes in the dresser at the Hotel we are staying at. The only thing I wish was that they had more larger sizes with the sets.

Good quality packing cubes. Love the flamingo design, cuter than plain navy blue. Will be helpful for keeping my suitcase organized & can put the packs in drawers at my destination. I can also keep clothes in the RV more organized & compact this way!
