Yes. I’ll say this - I got three sets of the compression ones for my family and I do not like them. They crush up the things too much.
and I guess the medium ones are more like 14x10
the slim ones are 14x5
I guess I’m not a good judge of size.
I do still roll my stuff to fit in there which helps with that. Sometimes I just use them as regular cubes. I really liked how lightweight these were. The white ones are slightly seethrough so you can tell what’s inside without unzipping.
I did prefer them when I didn’t compression them
I got that exact set in gray. They help with organizing stuff. I do think they helped me pack a bit more in my suitcase and made unpacking easier (as I left things in the cubes). I don’t know that they will be right for every trip but I do like them over all. I’ve only used twice so I can’t speak of the long term quality. They did feel a bit thin but strong.
I ordered the blue-flowered DIMJ set. Thanks for the input, everyone!
Anyone looking for packing cubes, I just ordered a set on sale at Walmart that seem to be a good price and have mostly decent reviews. Although they only have gray right now and was hoping to buy different colors to differentiate.
Olarhike 6 Set Packing Cubes, Travel Luggage Organizers,Gray
$14.99 for 6 cubes
BTW, There’s a referral code for joining Walmart+ where you can get $20 off an order, if anyone is interested you can DM me and I can send it. Walmart+ has a monthly charge, but you can cancel any time.
Alternately: If you have an Amex Platinum as I do, you actually get W+ free through the card.
Amex reimburses the charge every month if you have it autopay to the Plat card.
(Plus, W+ now give you free Paramount streaming, so win win win.)
It’s so crazy how long I lived my life without packing cubes and now I’m like - how? and like why?

My first set and kind of excited. ![]()
Excited about packing cubes. That’s why I love this group.
I bought packing cubes a few years back. They save me a little bit of space. I am very good at packing a suitcase. What I like most about them is the enhanced organization and the ability to pop the cube into the drawer quickly and without “unpacking” everything out of the cubes.
I was the same way until I kept seeing them recommended on chat so I bought some to try. I don’t know that they really saved me any space, but they do keep things better organized. What I really noticed, however, was that my clothes do not get as wrinkled when I use packing cubes versus just using the suitcase straps so I definitely like that benefit!
If you are an efficient packer, cubes may not save much space. But like everyone has said, the organization of stuff with cubes and putting the cubes directly into the drawers make them fabulous to use! Every family member has a different colored cube. That makes it easier for us to each identify our stuff.
I went with DSIS to DLR for 4 nights about a year ago. I had a carryon sized suitcase (22" x 14" x 9") and she had a check in sized suitcase. I stared at how she tried to keep organized with a ton of zip lock bags. But plastic bags take space! She told me her stuff would never all fit in a carryon with cubes. I emptied my stuff out of my cubes and proceeded to unpack all of her plastic bags of stuff into my cubes. All of her stuff fit into my cubes and then into my carryon suitcase! ![]()
We went to FL a month later together and got 7 nights worth of stuff for the two of us into ONE check in sized suitcase! Bag fees on Frontier are over the top! ![]()
You’ll never go on vacation without them again!
You’ve never use them?
And they are quite hard to deal with because they slip and slide.

I think cubes make me less worried about losing a single item when (not if) they go through my bag or if it pops open.
I suppose you could argue that I would lose a whole bunch of items vs just one, but in my mind I’m thinking a largeish packing cube is easier to catch one’s eye than a sock
I used the small ones on my last trip for stuff like socks and underwear. They definitely helped. I’m getting a set of multiple sizes for the next trip.
I was being sincere! ![]()

I really like smallish ones that holds one complete outfit. I’ve been known to only have mismatched clean clothes at the end of trips.
