SUITCASE CHAOS: The endless task of searching through the suitcase black hole by folding and refolding items after you have rummaged through it to find that one item to wear.
So what is the answer to this madness? Two words: Packing Cubes.
Packing cubes are like “drawers” for your suitcase. They are light weight, made of nylon fabric with zip closures and they are washable. They also come in multiple colors and sizes which is awesome so you can get a different color for each member of the family 😉
For our latest vacation to two countries covering six cities with multiple hotels every few days I needed a system that was going to keep us organized! I purchased the medium size eBags which comes as a set of three cubes. Giving each person a set of three – one cube for tops, one for the bottoms and one for pajamas & undergarments. In an instant each person had their own “drawer” and knew instantly where to find what they were looking for! Not only that but the cubes seemed to compress the clothes so we managed to pack more clothes than we would have had we folded them into the suitcase!
I also purchased the Bagail brand which came in a set of four varying sizes plus a dirty laundry bag. Both brands work great, though the eBags medium size can also be used for carry-on whereas the Bagail is more suited for your checked-in luggage.
Check them out on Amazon before your next trip, totally worth the money!
