If I’ve learned anything from flying a few times a year, it’s that I’m happier the more I can cram into my carry-on.
Not only do I save time by skipping the wait for my checked bag to come off the carousel, but I can fit a lot more stuff into my carry-on bag thanks to a clever trick. I started using Bagsmart Compression Packing Cubes (which are only $7 each on Amazon) last year and haven’t been able to pack any other way since.
The Smart Packing Cubes come in packs of six, along with three sizes: small, medium and large. I rely on the smallest bags for underwear, bras, and t-shirts, the medium bags for larger blouses and pants, and the largest for my bulkiest items, like jeans and sweatpants. It even comes with a practical laundry bag, so you can store your dirty items away from the rest of your clothes.

I like these packing cubes because of their compression seal design. When I’m done packing, I seal each one, which expels excess air and creates more space. Each packing cube has a handy handle, so it can be carried or easily moved from place to place. Other than that, once I fill up the packing cubes and put them in my suitcase, I am more the rest with extra packing space — or leave empty if I want to bring souvenirs home.
I’m hardly the only fan of these dice; more than 2,000 Amazon customers have added them to their carts in the past month, and they’ve racked up more than 6,200 perfect ratings. Users say they are an “absolute must-have” for anyone who “wants to pack smarter.” Another added: “These zip up really well because you use a zip on them.”

“There’s no going back once you get them,” explained one five-star reviewer. “It makes everything so organized.” They concluded by saying, “The compression feature allows you to pack everything really nicely into your luggage while saving extra space.”
