Review on 🧳 Optimized Fashion Packing for Unique Travel Organization by Lisa Stephens

I've never used packing cubes so this was my first outing. This seller has a good travel blog with good packing tips. So I ordered two sets (8 packs) for an eight day four day trip to Ireland. Also ordered another set with a full pack of dice. Instead of bags of the same size, there were different sizes and shapes. (Packing Cubes 8 Pack my FL Backpack Organizer Set with Shoe Bag FL Travel Luggage) I decided to test both at the same time and see which I like better. The quality of these bags seems to be great. The fabric is very durable yet lightweight. Lightning glides smoothly. And the backpacks crumple well if you're looking for soft to moderate compression. I liked the idea of packing the clothes all at once, with socks, shorts, tops and bottoms in one package. Had to make some adjustments as I wasn't planning on bringing 8 bras or 8 pants/jeans. This made it easier to pack multiple bags. (I ended up packing the bras in their own bag.) Sweaters and light jackets were completely out of those bags, too. Thank goodness I bought another brand that had large cubes for them. After a few days I put all the socks and shorts back in my pockets and just threw the jeans out of the pockets. I felt like I was constantly going through all the packages trying to find something to wear. And despite the grid, I couldn't tell exactly what was in each package, and I had to unpack and check often. I used one of the other brand's large cubes for dirty clothes. Overall, I liked using packing cubes in general because: 1) they kept unused clothes clean. 2) The ROC organizer in me loved how easy it was to pack my suitcase. – and how neat it was! 3) They separated dirty and clean clothes much more effectively than other methods I've used and kept everything smelling clean and fresh. 4) I thought I had bed bugs in the same hotel. I'm still not sure if I did or not, but I was relieved to find that my pajamas were in their own pocket, isolated from my other clothes (in a way - not ideal). After my eight days, I decided these backpacks would be good for a short carry-on trip, especially in warmer weather with lighter clothing. I prefer other brands of bags with a choice of sizes, but the combination of the two was really great! PROS: Well made to (easily) see what's inside, fits perfectly in a carry-on bag, neatly folded CONS: Hard to tell which package is which without unzipping - all in one size and only two colors - too bad they weren't in four colors. The numbers are not easy to read and therefore not very useful, although the dimensions make them ideal for hand luggage, they are a few centimeters longer than the width of a woman's t-shirt and leave awkward gaps at the ends
