Thanks for emphasizing the importance of fabric. I folded 6 polyester Georgette shirts into squares and added 1 short polyester caftan into 1 slim cube. I also folded 3 polyester blend pants into narrow rectangles for another slim cube (the pants are a little stiff and rolling them just made them extremely wrinkled). The rest of my garments (camisole, socks, underwear) are all rolled. Knowing your garments really determine how you pack the cubes.

Adore this for how truly functional and factual accurate this is! As someone who is traveling weekly and cherishes efficiency this is just fantastic! Thank you!

Good tips! I do a combo of rolling and folding as well.

Nice tips! I fold my clothes and then roll them before putting them in the packing cubes. Do you wear those sweaters as dresses? 🌺 Heidi

Unfortunately I bought an Ebags Classic set of 6 before I found TFG. However, 3 of the set are extremely similar in size and shape to the Compass Ross n, and I use them more that the others. I use a combination of rolling, and folding, and I've shocked my family members with just how many clothes and shoes I can fit into these slender compass Rose style . Anyways, I will be ordering a lot more Compass Rose packing cubes since my family and Friends like them so much. They make fabulous, useful gifts.

Sorry about being commenting so late on the video. New to packing cube. How well do jeans fit in these small cubes?

Thanks for the tips on the fabric and stuffing technique.

Are these packing cubes available in a different color combination beside Red and Grey?

With the airlines removing blankets and pillows, due to the virus, are there any blankets or pillows that you would suggest for longer flights?

great tips .... Unfortunately felt needed more clothes as couldnt often wash things ... as hostels and like to look fresh got it down to a cabin max checked in at 9 to 10 kg full and carried very light backpack as hand luggage.. used cubes but not compressed .. was hard but managed it all ... if i ever get away again will be less as trying to get my weight down so can live in shorts and just travel when it is not cold ... thanks for all your videos amazing
