Absolutely! I would think they would be great for a duffel bag, you would be able to find things quickly.

I love packing cubes! I have several sets of small, medium, and the slim packing cubes.

I tend to pack by item type. I love that I can just take the cubes out, unzip them and place them in a drawer. It makes unpacking a breeze and it's a nice barrier between the drawer and my stuff lol.

I also use an Eagle Creek (my cubes are ebags) packing folder for items that will go on hangers when I arrive at my destination.

I'm not sure how much more I can fit with the cubes, but I love having such an organized suitcase.

You guys have inspired me to try packing cubes on my next trip. I have one set now to try it out. Fingers crossed!

I found a few sets on ebay (I'm assuming direct from Hong Kong) for about 7 bucks a set, gonna order a couple..... I had a few that came with some duffel bags we bought years ago,(off brand) and I like how they keep things organized

We love packing cubes. We also use ebags. I got cheaper ones once. No thanks. We like the 3 pack. Small, medium and large.

We have them in different colours. We have a different colour each putting our clothes in those. Small medical and cosmetic, medium t shirts, PJs etc, large trousers, sweaters and shoes. They are great at spilt stays for dividing your vacation. Like when we do a cruise or change resorts. We also like the handle easy to take to the laundry!

We keep our clothes in them in the cupboards and drawers at the resort. No packing or unpacking!

I think i'm in the minority but I don't like the cubes. I thought they'd be great and have tried a few different ones. I really wanted to like them because of the organization, but i could not fit as much in my suitcase using the cubes. I have most recently tried the ebags brand. I did end up keeping just one smaller sized one to put all our charging cords in so it works great for that so they aren't tangled up.

I agree with this. I love how they make my suitcase look, until you actually start wearing your clothes. Where do your dirty clothes go once you take them out of the cubes? I found them great in theory, not so great in reality.

I pack one extra empty cube to put my dirty clothes in. As the other cubes empty, I condense the items and take more for dirty clothes as needed.

I have a black set I use to put my dirty cloths in. I fold them just as if they were clean however when I get home I unzip the cube and put the clothes directly into the washer along with the cube and clean it all. this way I can know whats clean and put it directly away and not have to worry about cross contamination of dirty to clean. Before cubes everything would get mixed up in the suitcase which meant everything, clean or not, got thrown into the wash on our return.
I will add that while I put the cube into the washer I do not put it into the dryer, I just air dry them.
One color cubes for me, another color cubes for DH and a black set for dirty cloths. So much less work. I love them!
