Take the Stress Out of Packing w/ the TravelWise 3-Piece Packing Cube Set (Review)

Disclosure: I was sent a sample from the vendor in order to write up an honest review.  The views shared are mine and mine alone.




Are you planning any last minute summer getaways?  Or, did you opt not to travel this summer because you didn't want to deal with the added stress packing for the family puts on you?  I don't know why, but when I pack for even just weekend getaways, I find myself spending more time packing clothes initially, than actually unpacking when we arrive at our destination, or packing up to go home.  Packing is the one thing that I hate when it comes to traveling.

While I always prided myself on my organizational skills, I would oftentimes find it challenging to pack for business trips and getaways in an organized fashion.  And, by the time I reach my destination, I have to spend time ironing my clothes, as they got wrinkled during packing.  Not fun!  But, I can finally say goodbye to packing woes, thanks to the TravelWise 3-Piece Packing Cube Set, which I was recently sent to review.  


At first, when I took the 3 cubes out of the package, I didn't think they would hold much.  Based on the photos of the cubes on Amazon, where you can purchase this set, they looked much bigger.  It wasn't until I began filling each of the packing cubes, that I began to see how much they actually held.  Here are the measurements of each cube:

Small -- 11.5"x6.75"x3"
Medium -- 13.75"x9.75"x3"
Large -- 17.5"x12.75"x3/25"

These packing cubes are constructed of high quality nylon fabric, with two way easy pull zippers.  The TravelWise 3-Piece Packing Cube Set is available in five colors -- red, black, teal, purple and silver.  What I loved most about these packing cubes, besides how much they held and how it made my life easier when it came to finding getting organized when packing, was the open mesh design.  I can't tell you how many times I have had to ruffle through the suitcase to find a particular item or group of clothes I had packed. In my trial run of using these packing cubes, I ended up using the small bag for my undergarments and socks.  The medium size cube held my blouses, and the large bag 4 pairs of pants -- enough clothes for a long weekend away.  Instead of trying to stuff everything into the suitcase, my weekend attire fit nicely into these three packing cubes.  Once placed inside each and zipped closed, I merely had to lay the three bags, large to small into the suitcase, and finally zip closed the suitcase.  




I was truly amazed at how these packing cubes made my packing so much easier.  And, when I opened the suitcase that following weekend, the clothes that I had repacked into each packing cube were reading to be taken out and hung up or put in the drawers.  I didn't have to worry about ironing, or wondering where something was in the suitcase, like straggling socks.  

The TravelWise Packing Cubes reminded me of a clothes drawer, where once clothes were placed inside, they stayed put and organized.  Even with my husband dragging the suitcase around, the clothes stayed put, and didn't wrinkle.  :-)  While these packing cubes would be great for frequent travelers, I can see them also making for a great gift idea for those hard to shop for people, or people who have everything.  If you have kids going off to college, these packing cubes would make weekend trips homes to do laundry easier.  You will be able to sort their clothes by the way they organize them in the three cubes.  And, one you are done doing the laundry, or they are, simply put the clothes back into their cubes and you are ready to go, without having to worry about ironing a second time once the clothes are removed from the suitcase.  Unlike many companies out there, TravelWise is so sure that they you will like these packing cubes, that they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on each packing set.

So, with the summer winding down, why not squeeze in one final vacation -- either with the kids or without.  Save time and eliminate stress by packing with the TravelWise 3-Piece Packing Cube set.  I will not pack any other way for now on. :-)
