@Yukun – much easier just to pack for ourselves!

That is the main purpose that I travel.
I also agree that packing just for myself is not quite the same as packing for someone else.

Kid #2 is welcome on vacation with me any time!

@Elisa – not your fault at all. Anymore than kid #2’s pickled herring appetite is a sign I did anything right!

@Sarah S- duly noted! Yes, I guess the density variable would start coming into play – too dense and you risk the weight limit…

The ones I have (Bagail compression packing cubes) were about the same price as other packing cubes but they zip down to compress the clothes. No vacuum or special equipment needed. They don’t defy the laws of physics, but they really do save space and keep things organized, which I have found particularly helpful when packing for multiple locations. I was able to pack a carry on for a 10 day/7 hotel trip in Europe with all sorts of outfits needed (walking tours, fancy dinners, religious services, hiking) and just had to watch the airline weight restriction because my clothes were so dense. Repurposing a cube mid-trip as a family laundry basket has been particularly useful for keeping the kid’s dirty socks away from…anything else.
