Packing Cubes Keep Clothes Organized
As a frequent traveler, keeping my clothes organized while living out of a suitcase has always been a struggle. I would spend way too much time digging around to find that one shirt or pair of pants I wanted to wear. Once I arrived at my destination, my suitcase was a jumbled mess of wrinkled clothes.
Packing cubes are lightweight fabric organizers that let you neatly fold and store your clothes in your luggage. They come in sets of around 3-5 cubes in varying sizes. You use the small cubes for socks, underwear and accessories. Medium cubes are good for shirts, pants and light sweaters. Large cubes fit bulkier items like jeans, dresses and coats.
The best part is that packing cubes keep everything neatly stacked so you can instantly see what’s inside. No more frantically rifling through a mountain of garments! Just unzip the cube labeled “shirts” and there are all your shirts, neatly folded and wrinkle-free.
Packing cubes save space too. You can fit way more clothes in your suitcase when they are tightly folded into cubes rather than loosely thrown in. The cubes compress down to take up less room. I can pack two weeks’ worth of travel outfits in a carry-on when I use packing cubes.
With their multitude of sizes, configurations and colors, there is a packing cube solution for every type of traveler. I prefer lightweight cubes with breathable mesh covers for easy identification of contents. Sturdier designs feature internal dividers and outside zip pockets too.
