Large Packing Cubes for Suitcases - 5 Pcs Set - Travel Organizer Bags for Carry-On Luggage

These are handy organizers for traveling. I use them to keep things orderly in my backpack and luggage. I like the fact that they are smaller and are colorful (easier to distinguish between packs). Sturdy. Great value.

I travel a great deal on business (mostly internationally) and prize being efficient with my packing and unpacking. This applies both at home as I prepare to fly and then when I get to a hotel at the end of a long flight. I've always rolled my clothing and packed it into the various crannies inside my suitcase around shoes and other incompressible objects. The problem with this is that it means I have to unpack everything once I reach my destination and have a lot of loose items lying around. Nevertheless, I've used this system for years.I was recently about to embark a trip that spanned four cities over two weeks ranging from cold wintertime in the U.K. to the Middle East to midsummer in the Southern Hemisphere. I wanted to be able to unpack in modules... cold-weather clothing only during the first week and then warm-weather apparel the second. After some research I decided to try these Dot&Dot small packing cubes. The bottom line after this grueling two-week journey is that I'm now hooked on them and can't imagine flying without them.First of all, they're fairly basic things. The nylon, zipper and mesh seem sturdy. When empty they're basically flat. I was able to roll up four dress shirts and pack them in one cube with handkerchiefs placed on top of them. Underwear and socks fit in another cube with my pajamas. Summer casual shirts and rolled-up casual trousers fit in another one. My gym clothes and a scarf and gloves went in the fourth.I was delighted with this system. The first week, in cold Istanbul and London, I left the summer stuff in its cube in my suitcase. The second week, in Dubai and South Africa, I left the winter clothing in its cube. When I checked into a hotel I didn't even unpack the cubes I would use while there. I just tossed them into the dresser drawer, unzipped them and used them when needed. When I got clothes laundered, I just rolled them up and put them back in the cube. When I was ready to check out I zipped them up and packed them. This not only saved me precious time and energy (it's as annoying to unpack clothing in a strange hotel at the end of a long transatlantic flight as it is to pack while checking out and heading to the airport) but saved me keeping track of random clothing items and minimized the chance I'd leave them behind.Time will tell how well the cubes themselves wear. It's not as though I'll subject them to much wear, however. They either sit compressed within my suitcase or in a hotel dresser. In my continual quest to travel in as organized, efficient and easy manner as possible these travel cubes are an important and welcome addition to my routine.As for the size I'm very happy with the small cubes. I use a vacuum-sealed bag for my suits; otherwise, the medium or large Dot&Dot cubes might be useful for those. I heartily endorse these, however. I bought a Dot&Dot dopp kit (toiletry bag), too, and reviewed that one separately. This company apparently makes good products.UPDATE: I reviewed these packing cubes immediately after buying them in Feb. 2015 and taking them on a long trip. It's more than three years later and I still endorse them heartily. I travel 12-15 weeks per year, mostly internationally. The ability to plop these things in a hotel room dresser drawer, not unpack them, and dip into them daily to get clothing I need makes managing packing and unpacking so much more efficient. And they've worn beautifully. I snagged the mesh cover on something early on and it got a small tear, which has never spread. And the other cubes are unblemished. Amazing for the amount of use they've gotten. An excellent product.

I travel a lot for work and these organizers work really well for planning outfits for each day. The cubes allow me to keep the entire outfit together and are very spacious. They help me keep track or how many things I am packing to ensure that I don’t over pack. It would be nice if the cubes had a little more structure on the sides. Overall I prefer these cubes over other travel systems because of they are spacious and all the same size.

I have a long bucket list and travel is a big part of it! I took a trip to Maui and felt like my suitcase was a complete MESS! So then I decided to buy these little beauties! Bam! What a difference a few packing cubes can make in a person's travel organization.PRO's:1. lightweight and has see through mesh (airlines tend to be nosey these days)READS: if they rifle through your bag/inspection...and can see stuff in your packing cubes with out really opening it...THEIR re-packing will be less messy for you when you get your bag off the belt.2. flexible material with zippers3. easy to pack and unpack4. has a handle each bag5. soft, collapsesCON's:1. Soft-sided and not rigid (not sure it's a con actually). Won't protect things from being crushed by the air baggage handlers.Took these on a recent trip. I opened up my suitcase and easily grabbed each one (has a little handle) and bam...the hotel bathroom was organized!In one of them I kept my flat iron (cord challenges as you know when it just gets tossed somewhere in the bathroom), in another were my underwear and socks...about 5 pair of cotton undies and 5 pair of cotton low profile socks with room to spare. And in #3: I put shampoo, conditioner and such for the shower direction. In #4: I put the sink side items like facial lotions and smaller items like make up, etc.So each morning I would pack them up, zip them and toss them into a drawer. They were out of the way and organized but easily retrievable. Get them out in the evening and use what I needed. Rinse and repeat.Going on a cruise soon...these will be a must have because it made re-packing for my return trip so easy and painless. And I plan to order another set now. I think if you have small items that don't fit as neatly together as you like...these are great.If you had to travel with the kiddo's...these are a no-brainer. You can get different colors and each color can represent each kid's stuff.If you travel with adult t-shirts or boxers...you could surely fit 2-5 t-shirts in a small cube depending on the type of t-shirt of course. Boxer shorts...probably you could fit 4-6 pair depending on their thickness, etc. Kids stuff? Obviously you could fit a bit more in a small cube than what you could an adult.Socks? You could probably fit 10 pair of adult socks into a small cube easily. Bra's? Well...the challenge there is under wire? Or no underwire...and the cup size. So you could probably fit 4 bra's in a small and perhaps as many as 6-8 if you had NO underwires.Slippery items like lingerie? I imagine you could fit many a sexy nighty in those small packing cubes. Or slips...or nylon stockings...etc.Denim jeans? Adults...maybe one pair per cube? Unless you're into the skinny jeans...maybe 2 if you're a size 4 lady. I'm not sure a small cube would be best for jeans. Maybe a medium or large cube?The size I got (small packing cubes) are similar in dimension to a thick novel but a bit larger Length x Width. You probably couldn't fit a regular hair dryer in the smaller cubes unless it was a foldable version. But I fit my flat iron in it easily. They won't "protect" things from being crushed in transit. So don't get it mixed up in your mind. Cubes...but SOFT cubes not rigid.I'm about to go order another set...diff color to represent different items!!!! Maybe medium sizes?

Often the compression bag adds too much bulk. These are thin but well built. I was able to fit a weeks worth of undies, socks and bras in on one, a weeks work of tshirt an another and used a third to contain small ziplocks with assorted supplies. Made packing so easy.

UPDATE: Seller quickly addressed my issue. Customer service is awesome.Was looking for slim cubes to add to our collection. Per some specifically for a Mediterranean cruise, which we are on right now. Went to unpack it and found that there was already a hole in one of the cubes. Very disappointed.

J'adore

These were perfect to put a days worth of clothing in our personal carry on's (backpack/purse). Before discovering these, I may have packed like a savage just tossing things in a bag and hoping to find them later.
