“Time to organise the drawers!” Says my cat. I have found it easier to stash smaller items into packing cubes, or roll my clothes and line them up. Review suggests these are good for undies, larger sized cubes are also on sale but not as good.
ATL. Quite a few colour choices.
CamelCamelCamel.
Since when do any of these products protect from liquid? They’re always breathable mesh tops.
A lot of fully sealed compression ones offer water resistance
That's pointless. If the organisational bags are waterproof then they're problematic to compress for packing as it takes a while to squeeze the air out every time you pack them.
You do liquid protection by placing the liquid containers in waterproof bags, possibly double layered ziplocks. Not by packing your undies into waterproof bags.
Waterproof bags with compression straps are bulky, clunky and totally not what these packing cubes are about.
I don't use packing cubes, but even I know what their use case is.
@rumblytangara: Each to their own I guess. I use these https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B083FX29VF/
@King Steuart: Identically coloured, opaque bags that hide the contents? I can see why a lot of people wouldn't go that route.
I just use a random hodge-podge of lightweight stuff sacks. Multicoloured for identification, no zippers, highly malleable. Nylon, poly, syl-nylon, mesh.
@King Steuart: The zippers on those aren't waterproof so anything inside will get wet if there's a good leak
@rumblytangara: Some of the best packing cubes I've used for hiking are the "water proof" kind, because they act like mini space bags — when you push the air out and seal, they stay compressed. It doesn't take any extra time.
I noticed other colours also have a decent discount if you need larger sizes.
Thanks for pointing this out. I bought a few of the bigger ones. The colours don't bother me one bit
What size you think best for stock standard carry on case?
I understand the images of the organisers in the large blue variety, but what am I missing with the baking dish?
that's the wives cube
i bought some cubes and was happy to use it to stay organised. after my trip i found them to be useless as i find it easier to just dumb everything in my bag flat with maybe 1 fold to create less creases.
Instead of folding in a lot smaller creating more folds and creases to fit in the cubes.
i get to my hotel and take everything out and put in the drawers and hang in closet.
So for my needs i find it useless, and now the cubes just collected dust, lol.
Time to get an even smaller divider to put in the original one so you can begin separating the dust from the skin flakes and hair.
lol, i actually use it for storing my summer clothes for the summer. too big for winter sweater and jackets.
The sizes in this deal don't look that useful to me but otherwise I've been using similar packing cubes for a few years now - just cheapies similar to this - and I find them super convenient. For a shorter stay (one or three nights) I just leave them in my open suitcase and that's my "drawer". It may take a few extra seconds when getting and replacing items but the final packup is diminished by 80% and in my opinion that's the second worst part of any stay. For a longer trip with multiple stays at different places this works out well. When arriving back home the unpacking, the worst part of any trip, is much faster too.
I use small mesh bags from Daiso for socks, undies, swimwear, singlets and gym wear, after those cheap fabric-like drawer dividers literally turned into dust. A few larger cubes for summer clothes, and Bunnings moving bags for winter stuff. I find it easier to take out the bag and dig through the treasures. Things get unfolded easily when the piles are tall.
Also a bigger version https://www.amazon.com.au/Amazon-Basics-Packing-Travel-Organ…
Kmart has something similar (which I own) but this looks better.
multisize, thanks! ordered this as well in green, green is cheaper, which I prefer over black.

What to do with these
Good when the missus kicks you out and you can easily grab socks and jocks
Wouldn't Kmart be cheaper to buy socks and jocks
Good for putting your mixtapes into as well if you got the cassette deal:

Thanks OP
lol Daiso bags are better for those. I use them for my cables and small electronics. Mesh can get caught.
Yeah these look almost identical to my old cassette storage bag apart from it had a plastic rack inside. Still cool if they just float around inside there 🤘
I just reuse the plastic bags from my fruit and veg shop. They're free.
I think plastic bags are a bit claustrophobic for cotton, it needs to breathe.
Thanks OP
Laundry bags my friends….much cheaper and you can use them afterwards.
they're smaller and not much cheaper at all?
This is the real trick. I do this too.
Thanks OP. Just bought a couple of multi packs. Used true 15% CR too. 🙏
I have two of these sets: https://amzn.asia/d/0cXKkj7q
and find them excellent - they are compressible so you can load them up and then use the second zipper to compress them down.
Expired
Hmmm show $21.90 for me, is it expired?
Still plenty of different colours and sizes for original discount rate. I went the green mixed sizes.
These weigh half a kilogram altogether, so it's for those who can afford being elegantly organised instead of packing eg. another pair of shoes.
I'm fine with weightless plastic bags to organise my clothes.
Does anyone know if there's a water-repellent coating on the non mesh part of these cubes?
