ALMING Compression Bags - Travel Essentials - 12 Pack Space Saver Bags - No Vacuum Pump Or Air Extractor is Needed - Storage Accessorie and Home Packing Organizers (transparent)

These compression bags are amazing for traveling! There are 12 in the package: 6 medium size (16" x 20") and 6 large size (16" x 24"). I could fit everything I wanted to pack into 1 medium-sized size, but I wanted them to take up 1/2 of the suitcase and be stackable to fit the bathroom bag, so I used 2 and filled them halfway. In the 1st medium bag, I rolled 2 t-shirts (L), 2 tank tops (XL), and 4 sports bras. In the other medium-sized bag, I rolled 5 pairs of shorts (L), 4 pairs of underwear, and 3 pairs of no-show socks. Before using the compression bags, the bathroom bag was higher than the suitcase's zipper. Using the compression bags, I got the bathroom bag in with extra room for souvenirs. They were easy to use, and the seal has stayed air-tight for several days. It comes with 1 seal zipper for each bag. The plastic is thick enough and seems durable. The photos for the product show the items rolled into a neat roll. I was not able to do this, so I rolled the shirts/shorts first, then rolled the excess plastic bag and squeezed the air. All-in-all, these are very functional and of good quality. * Happy shopping!

I was surprised at how much space these bags saved. I used them for sweaters and fleeces on a recent river cruise and they were quite effective. I would not used them for anything that can't be wrinkled, but for bulky and heavy items they are going to be something that I plan to use in the future.

I love these because there was a good number in the package. I got six large and six medium. They mostly worked but not all of them. Two of the large bags were rolled and then I noticed that they reinflated a little bit. Took everything out started over and the same thing happened. Not immediately but within 24 hours. However with that being said they are extremely easy to use. And I like having everything organized this way. The others seemed to keep their shape and not reinflate. I would recommend these

These are fantastic and extremely easy to use. Thick, durable plastic and a strong double seal offer a great hold. I've used several to store items for a few months now and have had no issues with the vacuum hold. There are several sizes included, and each bag comes with a handy zipper tool to ensure they are properly sealed, but this is not a critical item, so even if the tool is lost you can still easily seal these bags. I've sucessfully reused a couple of these for travel as well and they hold up just as well used as they do new, so return packing on a trip was easy and compact. *The only issue I've had is with the way you pack the bags, there is an air chamber at the bottom which allows air to travel out while compacting but does not allow air back in to inflate. If you pack too close to that opening it will block the chamber and not allow you to fully deflate the bags. This is easily avoided by shifting the contents, but something I had to trial and error.

Mmmm not quite what I was hoping for to pack more clothes into a suitcase. It really was a negligible amount of difference- maybe 10-15% better. I packed 3 tshirts, 2 long sleeve tshirts, 1 jean jacket, 2 hoodies, 2 jeans, 1 capri, 1 shorts, 2 sets of lightweight long sleeve pj’s, 1 sundress, 1 silk scarf, 1 tennis shoes, 1 slippers, 5 socks and 6 underwear with and without the bags, both folded and rolled. Like I said, it was a nominal difference, and because the clothes became a hard block it wasn’t like I could squish anything else in anywhere. Also, it seems more practical to stuff your socks and underwear into shoes and nooks and crannies rather than creating a big block. Where it really shone was with a down jacket-that compressed way down. Also, I rolled them down and left them for 1 week and they never expanded (leaked) at all unlike a lot of other vacuum bags I’ve tried. I’ve included photos for comparison. Bottom line, it’s great for down (or probably a squishmallow or some other super fluffy thing) and probably great for storing clothes to protect them from moths or dirt or whatever, but I wouldn’t say they were helpful in packing/saving space.

Easy to use and worked great! I've used these a few times now for international and domestic travel. Saved more room in my luggage than standard compression cubes. Very impressed!

This size of bag is good for travel and I like that there is no pump or vacuum required to use them. Very convenient. Time will tell how long they keep their seal.

Worked well at compressing our travel pillows and some bulker items...mostly. We traveled to 4 different countries and took 8 flights/trains over the course of 2 weeks so we did really test them out with repetitive use. Out of the 6 we used 1 of them completely failed/no compression at all, and 2 of them worked well enough to compress and get the suitcase shut, but once the case was opened, they inflated pretty quickly. With that said, given the price point, plus our pretty hefty use, I'm not dissatisfied with them. They worked well enough and did keep items clean and organized so I will use the remainder on my next trip without hesitation. Note: I did have better success by being gentle and patient while deflating. Also, don't depend on the little white slider thing, use your fingers to make sure they are all sealed.
