Packing cubes for a solo?

So I personally don't see the benefit, however, I am always up for tips and tricks for Orlando

Do you? Would it make my life more streamlined? Washing?

Thank you

I use them if traveling solo I can actually get a full week of clothes etc in a carry on using them if I need too that includes underwear/swim wear and shoes makes it so much easier to unpack at my sisters in the canaries or,y brothers in France
DH even uses them on a golfing trip as they can be packed inside his golf club flight carrier also keeps wetgolf gear separate on the way back

I have. They kept everything organised and neat. Think it was far better and meant that things weren’t all lose in the case.

I do, it’s jusy easier to unpack and repack, as the cubes go on the drawer or on a shelf at the hotel, there’s a bag for dirty stuff - which goes straight in the bag once worn. Then to pack up I just zip the clean stuff back up and squish the Dirties in on top! Easy

I go solo and use packing cubes. One for undies, one for tee shirts, one for other clothes, one for toiletries etc. I find them really useful and my suitcase is a lot tidier

I got ours from Groupon, they usually have deals on. Wouldn't be without them now although l was doubtful at first. Think they were about £6 plus £1.99 P&P. (5 in pack)

I tried them once and found they took up more room than if I packed my normal way of rolling clothes. I do however pack an empty one to put any underwear in that needs washing on the return journey. But if you have room in your case then go for it. Though I prefer hanging my clothes in wardrobe so I wouldn't have put the cubes in drawers on arrival.

This we are staying in Boston, Cape Cod, Orlando and Cruise this summer. I will need my cubes with me.
