How to pack bags to save space when traveling. Organize your suitcase. I stopped using packing cubes and did this instead. See how we got a pillow, stuffed animal, blanket, and clothes in a carry-on suitcase! Then I share a secret I came up with to make your clothes smell good and make doing laundry easier when you travel. This is a way to keep everything lightweight and organized while taking up as little space as possible.

➡️ Bags for travel that don't require a vacuum amzn.to/3ceg00z
➡️ Lavender vanilla scented laundry detergent sheets amzn.to/3KbYjeC or these that are fresh linen scented amzn.to/3QInV59
➡️ Owl suitcase amzn.to/3UuxmYq
If you don’t have a vacuum for your pillow or bulkier items, look for one at a car wash. You can roll the bag from the zipper to push the air through the valve. Or sit on it and then roll like the smaller ones. Some bags don't require a vacuum (the link is above).
Wrinkles weren’t an issue for me, but if that bothers you, you can neatly fold clothing first.

A friend told me about using ziplock bags instead of compression cubes and I tried it when I went to Spain. It works! Saves sooo much space. I bought the gallon size.

This is an old backpacking trick that I've done for a few decades. 😃 Also, space is limited when traveling with large families (I'm the oldest of 5, had 4 children, & now have 6 grandchildren) and specifically packing all the clothes for one day in each bag you'll pack fewer clothes as well as being better organized. We always packed for about a week and planned laundry stops about once a week on longer trips. Wash, dry, & repackage clothing sets and you're good for another week. As others have mentioned, you would do better to fold your clothes flat to go into your Ziplock bags for several reasons: 1) Folded flat clothes take up less space than bunched up clothes 2) Folded clothes will be less wrinkled when you pull them out of the bag to use 3) Folded flat clothes can also be easily rolled into "logs" (before or after putting them in the Ziplock) for a different way of organizing clothes to be more easily seen, depending on the type of suitcase/backpack/duffel that you pack. If you pack liquid things like shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, etc, be sure to Ziplock this things in their own bags. Protects everything if a lid accidentally comes loose in the suitcase ... 😁😂

@cpshepar Жыл бұрын

Just came back from 21 days in Europe. 1 adult, 1 senior, 1 push wheelchair... 1- 40 liter backpack, 1- medium duffel, 2- small overnight backpacks. All independent travel. Used 2 types of bags, "space bags" with sliders and thicker plastic and "freezer" bags, without sliders, and softer, thinner shell. Space bags come in luggage and carry on size. I use them for all clothes, but roll clothes before placing in bag. For freezer bags, I will use gallon bags for some electronics, non-liquid toiletries, and medicine bottles and quart bags for electronic cables/plugs and all liquids. Using bags not only saves space, and helps with organizing, but maybe most importantly, saves zippers and straps on bags from being overstretched. For wrinkles, a hot, steaming shower has always worked well in ridding most clothes of wrinkles. Great video. Thanks and Happy Travels

I have always taken my pillow with me in my carry-on bag using a space bag. The first time I did it, I was worried about how to compress it enough for the return trip because I wouldn't have a vacuum. I found that you can just close the bag, put it in a chair and sit on it to push the air out. Worked like a charm, actually better than the vacuum. I will definitely use the zipper bag trip for my clothes next time. Thank you!

I've rolled clothes in the past without the shrink wrap part and they never wrinkled either.
