For the rolling method, you probably want to start by folding them into the same rectangle as the Konmari. If they're folded too tall before you roll them, they just take up more space and come out wrinklier.

Personally I think the packing cubes to look way more organized and easier to get the item on the trip without making a mess :) great video!

I'm going on a road trip next week and have been watching videos about packing. Your three way comparison was much more helpful than people just going on about their own favorite method. I've decided to go with packing cubes simply because it is easier to stay organized with cubes. Thank you for making this high quality video. Loved your child and dog co-stars.

Packing cubes are the best. I’ve been using them for years since I discovered them. They’re also useful to place your clothes in hotel drawers so they are protected from the drawers themselves (God knows if they’re clean…🤣).

I use packing cubes for organization. For shirts, pants and underwear, I utilize the Konmari method. For socks, I use the Ranger roll method (keeps them compact and you can place them in shoes and other tight spaces.).

Thank you! You did a great job! and you baby is so adorable! I loved seeing just a regular person in their home, no fancy backgrounds or studio lights.

I am new to packing cubes and have watch a lot of videos - yours is truly the best! Thank you.

i'm going on a trip soon and so I've been watching heaps of packing videos and out of all the comparison videos of methods yours was by far the best! thank you!

It seems I've been doing a combo of the Konmari and rolling methods when I pack. Last October, I flew to London where I stayed for six months. I took two 29" suitcases, a 19" carry-on, and a "personal item" which was a laptop bag. I noticed many Londoners do not wear patterned shirts, so I won't be taking those this October. My plan is to only take one 29", the carry-on, and the laptop bag. The coats will take up the most space. Thanks for the video. Very informative.

Thanks for uploading this. Rolling method indeed saves a lot of space and I was able to pack everything in a single trolley.

Nice video. With the current chaos at airports around the world, clever packing can make the difference between being able to fit everything into a carry on versus a checked bag which you might very well never see again.

@@LeashMechanic In my fairly extensive experience, they seldom empty many packing cubes. Ones that appear to only hold clothes get a poke and a squish, that’s it. Electronics and medication sometimes attract interest, but if all electronics are together in one cube, and meds in another, it isn’t a big deal to repack just those. I smile sweetly and ask them to be patient, as they won’t fit back in the case unless they are packed properly. Then I methodically get them properly repacked and bag closed before moving on.

I like using compression packing cubes the best

Thank you for your testing and explanations. Your conclusions will help me for my next trips. In fact, what you said as regards to either less wrinkles using the Konmari system or saving space through rolling can be both useful depending on the kind of trip. I live in Madrid, so I have lots of cities to visit within reach of a 2-3 hours flight. For Ryanair, Easyjet, and other low cost airlines we really need to save space as per onboard luggage allowance. Cheers and thank you again! 👏🏻👏🏻😎✈🎒

You could have tried folding flat in the cubes. Also, don’t roll so small and many more items will fit.

When packing using the KonMari method, instead of lining them up the length of the suitcase, try lining them up width wise. I also will usually turn them so the bottom of the fold is on the bottom (wheel side) of the suitcase. So they’d be standing up on the bottom of the suitcase if the suitcase was upright. (I tried to explain as best I could) 😝

Really helpful!

hi, I don t have packing cubes but I use to pack in simple similar plastic bags that I collected over the years and I like It because everything Is organized and protected in case I need to Open the luggage...i fold with the konmary method

I use packing cubes but don't fold them using either of those methods, I just fold them normally and can pack them all in one cube.

Thanks so much for making this video!! I’m studying abroad next month and am debating on if it makes sense to invest in the packing cubes since I’ll be gone for four months.

I still use mine, but if you still aren't sure then go for the rolling method and roll super tight. Good luck on your journey abroad!

Actually, the point of rolling is to have almost no wrinkles. Put the most wrinkle prone items on the outside of the roll and roll a couple or 3 things together. You roll them flatter and in longer rolls. I lay them between the bars on the bottom of the suitcase. It saves a ton of space to roll and I have almost no wrinkles.

I have that same packing cube set I love mine

I do roll but one fold less than u do so it’s longer but thinner. So it’s takes more space Lengthwise u can pack more on on top. And it less wrinkle. To me the roll is the most effective but now I’m thinking the cubes together with the roll could work better in separation to different items. Thanks.

I've tried the rolling method and my clothes came out of the suitcase looking like I'd slept in them for a week. Unfortunately, irons aren't readily available anymore in Europe, so I ended up finding a laundry, lightly washing and drying to get the wrinkles out.

I bought a small steamer device which is portable and takes the wrinkles right out. However, I personally only use packing cubes. I stack my clothes inside (don’t roll or use the Kon Mari method) and they come out fine.

Everybody talks about the space. But what about the extra weight with the packing cubes? I hope some answers before to buy them ;)

What about bulkier items like sweaters? Shoes? Dresses?

Sweaters and dresses I would still roll if you can, they will just take up more room. With the packing cubes, it came with a shoe bag, so I could fit about 2 pairs in there and it protected the clothes from getting dirty.

If i was to roll i would not do that last fold. I fold pant legs on top, shirts in half, you can roll an outfit together too for extra convenience. Everyone has their thing. Packing cubes are good just to reduce the possible nightmares that can happen with the TSA or liquids, etc..

Be sure to weigh the suitcase! Last time I traveled, I noticed some flights weighed the carry-on suitcases they measured. I compressed a bunch of snow jackets for my family when we traveled from south to north--these light jackets ended up weighing **so much**!

I use the Kon-Mari method of folding my clothes to put them in my packing cubes.

combo : rolling = put the rolls into compression packing cubes. I would definitly not need such heavy suitcase for 5 pants + 5 tshirts ...

A+++

But.....if we are talking about getting as much in a suitcase as we can, we're probably also pushing the limit on weight allowance, and cubes weigh something. Use a bunch and they must add up to a pound. But the idea is compression, whether folding, rolling or using those cubes. Air pockets equals wasted space. I've done my own experimenting and as I guessed before, none of it matters! The same amount goes in each way if you do each one with maximum compression and minimum wasted. Stack it high, sit on it to close it.......compression!

Konmari seems best to avoid mega wrinkles.
