Best Packing Hack Products for Travel

Bagsmart Set of 6 Compression Packing Cubes

When it comes to travel hacks, these packing cubes are our favorite pick. Double the space in your suitcase with this set of zippered bags that don’t require an air pump like vacuum-sealed options—simply fold your clothes inside, then use the extra zipper to compress the bag to half its original size. The set comes with one large 15-by-10-inch bag, two 13-by-9-inch bags, two 13-by-5-inch bags, and even a shoe bag, so you can make room for another pair. If you don’t use the shoe bag for extra sneakers, you can also use its two-compartment design to separate clean and dirty clothes at the end of your trip. We love that the larger bags can fit bulky items like jackets and sweaters, and each bag is made of a lightweight, breathable mesh fabric that won’t make your clothes smell stuffy or add weight to your suitcase.

Depoza 16-Piece Travel Bottles Set

These travel bottles are designed with TSA-approved sizes for flights, and the set comes with 9 different containers (and 16 total pieces), including a zipper case to store them in. Even if you aren’t flying, the right set of travel containers can spare plenty of room in your bag without leaving your most-used products behind. The two largest bottles include squeeze bottles for shampoo and conditioner, plus one spray bottle. It also comes with two smaller squeeze bottles and four mini jars perfect for skincare products like your daily SPF (which is essential if you’re vacationing at the beach). The set includes a funnel to easily pour products into each container, labels, and a cleaning brush to re-use each bottle on your next trip. All of the bottles have no-drip valves to prevent leaks, so you can confidently pack them into your suitcase without worrying about any liquids spilling out while you travel.

Bagsmart Medium-Size Toiletry Bag

If your regular toiletry bag takes up half the room in your carry-on, we love this compact option to fit all of your essentials without sacrificing space. It comes with four different pockets to easily organize skincare products, shampoo, and toothbrushes, and the bag folds closed to make it just 10-by-8-inches. It also includes elastic straps in each pocket to keep your favorite products secure. When you reach your destination, simply unzip the bag and hang it in your hotel’s bathroom for plenty of storage while saving counter space. Plus, at just under 14 ounces, it’s perfect for carrying products on flights without worrying about the weight of your suitcase.
