I have never used packing cubes before, but since I need to be more organized for a three-month trip, I have decided to give them a go. Here is what I purchased and my initial impressions.
Turns out I love them and strongly recommend trying them out. See some options here on Amazon
Packing cubes are like the Swiss Army knife of travel gear—compact, versatile, and surprisingly handy.
| Reasons Why I Love Packing Cubes |
|---|
| 1. Organization Heaven: Cubes are like magic for keeping your suitcase neat theoretically. With separate cubes for clothes, shoes, and toiletries, you'll never have to dig through a messy pile of stuff again. I still dig around, but they are great for hotel rooms without entirely unpacking everything. |
| 2. Space Saver Extraordinaire: Say goodbye to suitcase Tetris! Cubes compress your belongings, making everything more accessible in your luggage. Plus, they help prevent overpacking by giving you a visual limit for each cube. |
| 3. Easy Access: No more rummaging through your bag to find that elusive sock. With packing cubes, everything has its place, making it a breeze to locate items quickly and efficiently. Sure, sometimes I throw a more oversized item into the suitcase or cram something down the side, but they still provide easy access to a hotel room. |
| 4. Versatility Vibes: Not just for suitcases—they're great for backpacks, duffel bags, and even daypacks. Use them to separate clean clothes from dirty laundry or to keep electronics and accessories organized. The possibilities are endless! I use two cubes for my carry-on and for laundry, and I use a large plastic bag. |
| 5. Stress-Free Packing: Packing for a trip can be stressful, but cubes makes it a breeze. Fill each cube with your essentials, zip it up, and voila! You're ready to hit the road without the headache of wondering if you forgot something. |
I discovered this great video on YouTube, which compares the various methods for packing luggage.
