Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I purchased these I had high hopes and felt really down about them when I packed up to go to the beach. My husband was saying “I told you so” and that I wasn’t really saving much space. I used four of the suitcase size (checked bags) and all six of the carry on size for my family two adults and one child. We were leaving for the beach which I alway pack a ton more because of towels and linens we bring. I was impressed but not wowed. Waited till after our trip to write the review and thankful I did because it changed completely. I didn’t try packing hacks with them and was able to fit so much more in the bags. It seems odd yes but it’s true. I ended up only using three of the suitcase size and two or three of the carry on size. Now I had my dirty clothes and clean clothes separated or may have had it more reduced down. They were amazing and helped us so much in the car coming home. Biggest tips: 1) don’t try to roll your clothes. I found rolling them didn’t help and couldn’t flatten down that way. My husband is a huge roller when it comes to clothes. What did work was laying three or four shirts on top of each other and then folding it up. The air was still able to escape this way. 2) it says it is okay to the full line but found leaving it about a inch more open they work the best. 3) Make sure to follow the directions on how to get the air out. My husband tried to help me pack up and he added more air in instead when packing it up. When I ordered these my husband was extremely skeptical because they had “tried some in the past.” I would try these if you have been disappointed. I’m even looking at possibly buying another set before we fly to Disney world to help with that packing. I will say this set seemed to be plenty for my family of two adults, a child, and a dog (listing him since I had towels for him too packed). Didn’t receive five stars because I felt the second time I packed them up well but the first time did not pack up well at all. Once you figure them out it’s a breeze though. Would purchase again.
