12 Compression Bags for Travel Essentials, Vacuum Packing Space Saver Bags for Cruise Accessories (12-Travel)

worked perfectly, bags are a good thickness making reusing a nice feature.

I use these every time I fly because they work great to compress clothes for carry on luggage. They don't need a vacuum and help me pack extra souvenir shirts I buy at destinations in my backpack and rollerboard. The carry on size is super useful but I also use the standard size as well

Overall the bags work well. Depending upon what is in the bag, it can be difficult to remove all the air to minimize the storage size as much as possible. Definitely recommend using more bags with less inside for storing as opposed to fewer bags with more content. Would also recommend using the bags that you can also connect a vacuum to as opposed to these.

I know these aren't exactly a new invention, but I was very impressed with these. It doesn't seem like they'd do much better than a particularly thick ziplock bag, until you use them and are blown away by how easy they are. Was able to fit 10 days worth of clothing in 1 large checked suitcase. Having the instructions on the bag themselves is convenient and helped make sure not to use them wrong. No confusion about overloading them. No concerns about popping them. Everything fit nicely and neatly. I bought another brand afterward, because I miscalculated on how many things I'd need to pack. The cheaper one was thinner, didn't have instructions, and the little zipper clips kept falling off. If I had gotten those first, I probably would've had a worse time with the whole process.

The bags did work a little. Unfortunately all of them came open even though I sealed them. I’ve used other bags that had a better seal and were flatter when compressed.

I got these for our honeymoon abroad and managed to fit 9+ days worth of clothes, toiletries, AND a wedding dress into my carry on by using these bags! I'm an over-packer, so for me that was particularly impressive. I used a large one for the wedding dress and then two smaller ones for clothing. I liked how these didn't require a vacuum or air pump to use, and chose these over packing cubes because I felt like they would save a little more space. Brought some wrinkle spray and a tiny travel steam iron for wrinkles, but depending on how you pack and what you're packing, I didn't have too many wrinkles. They made it through the entire trip without issue and have continued to hold up well (I bought them 2+ years ago, but don't use them unless we're traveling for long periods of time). These bags take some trial and error to get the hang of, so I would do a test-run a day or so before the trip. The main thing is to fold everything as flat and as square as possible and pack it in the bag neatly using up the entire space. I also would tend to make it bulkier toward the seem side to give room at the air-release side as you roll up the bag. Whenever we got to a new destination, I would usually take out anything that I wanted to use that could get really wrinkled and leave it out. We moved locations every couple days, and the repacking wasn't as daunting as you might think as long as you have some practice. I would just make sure that you organize accordingly so you don't have to open up every bag that you bring all at once, but sealing it back up isn't too much of an issue. I also packed these flat as I felt that it saved more room than keeping them rolled up.

Easy to use

Loved using these! I was shocked to see how compact my clothes got (although they did wrinkle some). I will definitely use these again (and am telling my family and friends about them).
