LOVE TRUMPS HATE!

@christimar10 @MWholesome8982 I’m curious—do you find it annoying to have to figure out which item is rolled up if you have a lot of nondescript pieces? organizing packing cubes by item type or leg of my trip helps so much with this but I do know that rolling helps with space as well.

@MWholesome8982 @claaaarke_ I am also team roll. No matter what I do I cannot get any variation of packing cube to work. I use one for socks/undergarments the rest is all rolled and puzzled together.

I refuse to believe that people are still packing suitcases without using compression packing cubes in 2025

@shmokayyy @muniirraa_ Organizing everything and never needing a checked bag. I can travel for weeks at a time in a carry on because it helps me compress all my stuff. If you’re just traveling for a weekend, they’re less essential but I still love separating all my stuff. 100% a must for long trips tho

@claaaarke_ @muniirraa_ whats the point of em if you’re not a overpacker?

@MelissaWeber Yessssss! being able to separate everything is so key. Especially when I’m traveling out of the same suitcase but have multiple destinations throughout a single trip—it’s basically like having a mini suitcase for each place! I seriously cannot pack without them lol

@claaaarke_ The thing i love about packing is cubes is i can put the dirty clothes in one, and it makes my life easier when I get home.

@ExileftNini I used to roll when I was in high school and it definitely does fit a lot but I hate having 0 organization and having to try to guess what different rolled items are before completely unrolling everything 😅 packing cubes give me the best of both worldsss

@claaaarke_ I’ve been rolling my clothes my whole life basically cause we started traveling back and forth when I was 11 months old so packing cubes don’t do much for me!

@floweroftheseaa @bloodylikeabody if it was an ad, there would be an ftc disclosure. me adding a link bc the tweet blew up and people asked what I was talking about, is not an advertisement. let’s think a lil bit tana🤍🤍

@claaaarke_ @bloodylikeabody you can just say yes

@bloodylikeabody is “compression packing cubes” a brand

@claaaarke_ So this was an ad or

@imlyghtbulb Haha my mom does the same

I use my shein bags & compressed them.

@Obiwansinobi It would say ad if it was. Don’t even mean that in a rude way but it’s so funny how many people think this is an ad and there’s no brand mentioned in the tweet? 😅

@claaaarke_ Is this an AD

@thursdaymelo No. I’ve not had any issues using these in my carry on flying to/from/around Canada, France, London, Switzerland, Germany or Spain multiple times over the last few years.

@claaaarke_ do they not weigh cabin bags in the us? i’m british and have only ever flown within europe but every flight i’ve been on has limited cabin bags to 10kg

@fireashdustlife idk if you’re a Marshall’s person or TJ Maxxer lol but look in the travel section next time you go (if you do)—have been using them for the last 10 years they are a game changer!

@claaaarke_ I have never heard of compression packing cubes

@c_lene97 they really do!! I actually never check a suitcase anymore haha. they also force me to be much more intentional about what I’m packing which keeps me sane when I have a bunch of travel lined up! 12/10 for me

@claaaarke_ They help so much omg!

@FollowBryWoo I could definitely see them not being as useful for men for those reasons! They’re kind of a nightmare when you’re trying to pack jeans or thick pants but I tend to wear mostly skirts and dresses (which I’m sure you don’t lol).

@claaaarke_ I travel every other week for work and have never had the need. When I did use them they were more a nuisance than a help. It could also be a gender thing as well. Women’s clothing tend to be thinner and lighter allowing more utilization of them

@NobodyAskedYou7 They really are a game changer! I literally can’t even pack for weekend trips without them now lol 😭 I feel so unorganized

Game changer. I bought them for everyone in my family. Clarke inspired me, a chronic over-packer who always checks a suitcase, to only bring a carry on for this work trip. I still can’t believe it.

@rickwolf254 I don’t get my luggage weighed bc they keep me from ever checking a bag. I frequently pack for weeks at a time using these in a carry on (as someone who works in fashion/beauty/content and often needs to pack a ton of clothes or products to shoot in). But do you!

@claaaarke_ Still doesn't make your suitcase weigh 50lbs or less

@rickwolf254 Packing cube with an extra zipper that flattens them a bit more. It’s like the extra zipper on a lot of suitcases that help slim them down a bit to fit in the overhead bin.

@claaaarke_ What's a compression packing cube?

@Sasha_2Fierce I actually don’t think they would work very well if you’re an overpacker lol!

@claaaarke_ As an over packer maybe I need to look into this.

@MWholesome8982 I need to make a packing video comparing all the methods people at sharing under this tweet. Adding to the list 📝

@claaaarke_ I started military rolling a few years ago and never looked back
