Last summer when I was travelling in Australia on a People to People trip, my friend and fellow leader Nina introduced me to packing cubes. I adore any and all items that make packing easier, so I investigated packing cubes a little further, and I purchased two sets on Amazon, both containing three packing cubes.
Packing cubes are lightweight, non-structured nylon containers with mesh tops (they make viewing what you've packed super easy). When in use, they stand about 3 inches tall. I use the eBags packing cubes in the large and medium sizes. The large size fits perfectly into a carry-on size suitcase.
I like to roll my clothing in order to minimize wrinkling, and these cubes really help keep my clothes wrinkle-free! I was amazed at how many items fit into the cubes the first time I used them! They are great for keeping things organized and easy to locate.
As many travellers know, dirty clothes take up more room than clean clothes. The cubes are great for packing dirty clothing because they can be tossed into the washing machine as well, thus eliminating the need for an additional dirty clothes bag!
In case you were wondering, I purchased the eBags cubes in the Raspberry color. Very nice. :)
