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! Read more
These came in handy for my trip to Japan. Worked exactly as described, very easily and price is right! Read more
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. Read more
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.

I'm on the fence about these. In theory roll style compression bags seem like a great travel tool and sometimes they are but most of the time they just jsut dont work great. It is one of those products you want to like but in practice they are often more hassle than help. I have used them on several trips and whether they are useful really depends on what I am packing. Simply rolling clothes without the bags often saves more space. That said I do like using them to separate clean and dirty laundry while traveling. Main gripes 1. Stiff fabrics like jeans are tough to compress since they do not fold or roll easily and it makes the bag hard to close or roll tight 2. Fluffy items like sweaters or puffer jackets can be tricky because if you roll too aggressively you risk popping a seam or blowing out the bag 3. Air removal is not great. You roll from the zipper end toward the vent and while the top compresses okay by the time you reach the bottom it does not release much more air. It ends up bulkier than expected 4. Id say at least half or more of the tume, the air gradually gets into the bag so the seal isn't great If I were buying again I would skip the roll style and go with a compression bag system that uses a pump. It might work better. If you try these, I found sitting on the full bag and moving my way down worked better than rolling it down. Read more
If you have never used these kind of bags for traveling you’re missing out. They are great for reducing space and no vacuum needed! You can compress them anywhere. I’ve been using them since 2015. My recommendation is to pack your bag with what you need and then put the clothes in the bags, they will reduce the space used but if you add more clothes the bag could weight more than allowed and you will need to pay extra.

These worked as described and saved me from having to check in luggage. Wonderful would buy again. Read more
Although the bags you can't put much in them, I was able to pack all my clothes for a week in colder weather, a couple pairs of jeans, a few pairs of sweats long sleeve shirts ect. enough clothes for a week and I carried it on the plane with me. I was surprised I fit that much stuff in there. Easy to use and well worth the money spent...which was not much. I would have had to pay more checking my suite case at the airport. My sister and brother-in law are going to buy some when they go on their next cruise. Highly recommend the product and the seller. Read more
