Choosing a Luggage Organizer

If you’ve ever spent time rummaging through a suitcase to find that one item you know you packed, or worried about wrinkles and mix-ups during travel, it may be time for a luggage organizer. These handy travel accessories organize your clothes, protect your belongings, and save space in your bag. The key is choosing the right organizer for your needs. There are a wide range of options available, from simple packing cubes to insulated shoe bags. If you’re a backpacker, consider using softer packing cubes designed for use in a backpack.

Packing Cubes

Popular and affordable, packing cubes are great for most types of trips and bag sizes. Packing cubes are rectangular pouches that fit into the compartments of your suitcase or duffel bag, organizing them and minimizing bulk. They come in a range of sizes, including single and double cubes as well as compression cubes that are slightly smaller but pack down to an even more compact size.

You can also use packing cubes to organize by category – put all of your tops into one cube, socks in another, underwear and bras in a small one, and so on. Organizing your clothes this way makes it super easy to find what you’re looking for when you need it, and eliminates the possibility of forgetting something.

Other luggage accessories include compression sleeves that help reduce the amount of space your clothes take up, shoe bags to keep shoes separate from clothes and other items in your bag, and toiletry bags to protect clothing from liquids and products that could leak or spill during travel. These are useful for most types of travel, from long overseas vacations to a weekend trip in the city.
