    I love packing cubes and couldn’t believe how much easier traveling had become the first time I used them. Not only are they great for your luggage, but when I travel, I like to unpack once I reached my destination. Now I just place the packing cube in a drawer, unzip it so clothes can ‘fluff up’ and I’m done. I will never travel without them. Lovely video.

    I’ve been using the packing cubes for a few years. So easy to find what you need at a glance. No more embarrassing mess if airport security need you to open your case. Everything is packed in little cubes and bags. Nothing rolling around in the case. Thanks for sharing. 😀

    I also use drawstring bags/ditty bags and small soft cases for all the little bits and pieces, but I've actually never tried packing cubes -- this video has definitely intrigued me to try them next time I travel :) Using similar folding, rolling, and stuffing techniques, though, my greatest achievement for packing was getting everything I needed for two weeks in Sweden and Ireland into one carry-on and one backpack -- including my shampoo and soap (both in bar form to avoid liquid constraints as well as buying these products abroad).

      @@BenitaLarsson That trip actually was my first experience dressing in a minimal/semi-uniform way and I fell in love with it! It really was the first time I ever critically considered what I had in my closet versus what I actually wore, and made me realize I don't need to buy into fast fashion to look good and be happy. Also, let's face it -- travelling without worrying about baggage fees and waiting for suitcases is so much better than paying for your suitcase to have a ticket and then worrying it might not show up when all you want to do is get out of the airport!

    I loved the idea of packing cubes...till I tried them. My preference now is to keep my clothes items on hangers and then bundle them with the hook of the hangers in plain sight. When I reach my destination I grab the hangers, give my clothes a shake and hang them up. I grab the toiletry bag and hang that too. Unpacking completed.
    Undies, shoes, digital and ephemera organisers may or may not stay in my port depending on the length of my stay at that particular location.

      To be honest I can’t remember. I played around with a set of both colors and tried different variations. I do think the XL is the one I won’t get the most use of. I would use that to pack really big items like jackets but I tend to only bring one and wear it when I travel.

    Not very minimal, so much more could be fitted. I've been rolling my clothes since the 80's. There were no packing cubes or compression bags at that time, however, I use to use large sized Ziploc storage bags and remove as much air as possible. I would roll my clothes then have one bag be under garments, one bag for t-shirts, one or two bags for long sleeve, button shirts and sweatshirt, etc... I did a week in Boston, MA in just a gym bag also did 4 days at Disney World in a duffle bag with lots of room for souvenir including a Grand Floridian heavy terry spa robe.

      I have tried rolling, cubes, konmarie and folding but settled on keeping my clothes on hangers and bundling them.
      I have donated my bigger ports and have what the Amercians call a large cabin bag but here in Australia it is considered checked luggage. I pack 12 to 15+kg now.
      I have tried to reduce what I pack to a cabin bag but with no weight consistency between airlines I gave it up as a lost cause. We used to have a 10kg cabin allowance which was doable for me but not now it is 7kg.
      My old two wheeled cabin bag was 1.6kg so that meant I could take 5.4kg of stuff. The new bag is 1.9kg so that is 5.1kg. Yes I do wear my heavier items on the plane but it was too traumatic for me.

    I can never understand why anyone would ever want to pack footwear with their clothes especially underwear. Think of all the things that footwear may have stepped on. Disgusting!!!
