Re: Packing Cubes

Samantha Brown has a great set of packing cubes on HSN. They are extremely durable and very lightweight.
We don't even unpack our clothes on a cruise...just pop the packing cubes in a drawer, and you're done.
They are so convenient and if you're on a Tauck tour or similar which has a new city to visit every couple of days, you just take them out of your hotel drawer and throw them back in your suitcase.

They are a must for me when traveling, and keep EVERYTHING neat and DRY when on vacation! In very humid climates your clothes can get "damp" but not with the packing cubes! You literally unpack in a matter of minutes! I also use those that are designed for shoes as well!! I have several sets in my dresser drawers, and closet to help keep things neat and organized; particularly socks and underwear! Some have mesh tops for things that need breathability!🥰

As has been mentioned, Samantha Brown has some on HSN but when I checked just now for pricing they are not showing as available! Hopefully they will restock because I can attest to their excellent quality!🤞 They are VERY well made as far as packing cubes go, with substantial zippers! Some of the lesser brands are quite flimsy!😊

ETA: I just saw a few of hers available on Amazon.

Bon voyage!!!😁

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I always wondered, if these compress using a vacuum, how do you compress when repacking for the trip home?

Similar to what you are thinking of - they sell clear plastic versions that you roll the excess air out rather than use a vacuum.

But, more likely, the newest version of compression bags use zippers.

I find that these do work, but I always end up with a mound (?) in the middle. I guess that's the best word for it.
