I roll everything and put in cubes. You fit waaaaay more in suitcase. You can really stuff those things to the max.
I love cubes too

This is my method as well, and it’s works! I spend a little extra time making sure all my clothes are flat and wrinkle-free before I fold and roll. So, I don’t have any problems with wrinkles! I also leave the non-hanging clothes in the cubes and place the whole thing in the available drawers...keeps my things from touching the drawers.
roll/konmarie method + cubs that's my method!
Fold on the way there: prevents wrinkles and over packing. Roll on the return trip: no more wrinkle worries plus now you’ve made space for any purchases.
Genius!
Great 👍 idea! 😃
Great idea 💡
As a flight attendant, who can only take a carry on, the amount of stuff is unrealistic. I have to pack for roughly 6 days and do so with ease. I roll my clothes and use packing cubes.
I was JUST about to say this! Combine the methods... I roll, attach a scrunchie AROUND the roll to ensure that it stays compact, then pack the rolls into my packing cubes for organization. Win win! And yes, I do pack my streamer to release the minor wrinkling I have. Worth it to me to be able to bring everything! 😉🛬
well she said she was packing for a "weekend getaway" not six days. so the amount of stuff she packed was fine for a 2 and a half day trip
I find that it's a lot of stuff for a weekend get away: some of that clothes can be worn when you are traveling, like the sweater, the flats and the shoulder bag. Wear the bulkiest clothes, weather permitting, to keep your bag light. You can build several looks over one basic pant and one skirt in neutral colors and you can dress this up of down with a couple of appropriate tops and accessories. You only need to pack one pair of shoes. ( the other one is worn)
Yeah, you may think that is too much clothes for a weekend getaway, compared to what YOU pack for your six days away, but you do wear a uniform for much of your trip.
@@Swakara1 I traveled to Turkey in July during the heat waves, only with 1 pair of tennis shoes for long walk/hike, 1 pair of flip flop for shower, 1 pair of aqua shocks for the beach. It was nice to go barefoot for 3 days on a traditional wooden yacht, then just put on tennis shoes for short hike on the ruins.
I thought I would buy new shoes during my travel but I didn't, so maybe 3 pairs are all I need for the beach vacation
Packing cubes are a life saver!!! It’s so easy and I just toss it in drawers when on vacation and my clothes don’t touch the drawers. Plus your clothes stay fresh in humid countries and you don’t need to wash clean clothes when you get back - you just need to put your dirty clothes into other packing cubes for the way back!! ❤️❤️❤️
Roll the clothes, put the hangers on the hard side and pack a spray bottle. Spray the clothes night before and no wrinkles in the morning.
woahh
Yes Patti!!! The spray bottle is awesome. They sell wrinkle releasers that work well and dries fast, but water over night is great. But I don’t pack the hangers as hotels have enough and if I’m visiting family or friends they usually have extra for guests.
What do you mean by spray bottle🤔
Oh
Packing light has become like a video game to me. Like Tetris, trying to get just the right arrangement. When I did a 10 day cross-country road trip last summer with only a 38L backpack (looking hella-cute, btw) and a crossbody purse, I was over the moon!
For the people complaining about how the shoes were packed: Those shoes were brand new, but I know what you mean. Some people use shower caps from dollar stores or in bulk from beauty supply stores. I use plastic bags that I get from grocery shopping so I don't have to buy anything else.
This was very helpful- thank you! I am currently on a 3-month trip in Europe and do a combination of things shown here (and my suitcase is only slightly bigger than the one in the segment!). I roll my clothes and put them into packing cubes. The packing cubes compress the clothes; this means I can pack A LOT into a small space and keep it organized. The best packing cubes I've found are by eBags. They're high quality and durable, so I can really push stuff in there if I need to without ripping the bag. All other brands I've tried have paled in comparison. The only downsides are, as you've mentioned, the wrinkles and the weight (it's 35 pounds).
Shoes should have their own bags of some sort, to keep things clean! You ever wonder what's on the sole of shoes after you go to the bathroom?!?😖😖😖👎🏻YUK!

i used 2 layers of plastic bags for my shoes!
I'm a retired flight attendant. I had 4 day trips every week. I brought very little. Never had to pack much. Now, I'm flying to Europe,Rio,Buerno Aires,Sydney for fun. Use compression cubes. Use a carry-on only. Never check a bag. But can fit 1 months of clothes in 19" carry-on. I bought expensive eagle creek and with it! Hawaii next month for 3 weeks.🤙🤙🤙
I take a small water spray bottle with me. Just spritz your creases and blow dry. Works a charm 😉
Katrina gaming4563 I pack a travel size bottle of wrinkle release. Boom
Great tip 👍
I have packed in cubes for years! They are amazing! My 3 boys even pack their own bags now.....in their cubes!
Yep as soon i discovered packing cubes I bought a different color for each of my boys and only bring one bag to store their cubes.
I love combining the "Rolled" method and put the rolled up clothing inside packing cubes... I do a lot of traveling and this keeps me organized, and I can pre pack by color cubes for different weather/seasons, etc and still fit more outfits.. love that this video gives you such a clear visual of hwo to fit it all in, well done
I love Shoana energy! She's so smart
I love the packing cubes . They are the best when traveling. 😊
I do a blend of 2 ways to pack: I roll and place in packing cubes. I've gone on holidays for 10 days, with both casual and dressy clothes and pack way more clothes than shown in the video.
Tracy, that color pink really suits your skin tone !
1tuinman , I agree! I love the soft pink & that gorgeous necklace!!
She is beautiful
No one ever talks about the block method. At least thats what I call it. It's on the channel PackLitedotCom. Vid is called Pack for 30 days in a carry on. I've done it my last 5 (poss 6) times I've traveled internationally for between 7-10 days at a time. I have found is the BEST way to get the most packed into the suitcase and with the least rumpling/wrinkling. Only thing is you have to take it all out and hang up/put away when you arrive. But I did this before I discovered this method as I do not like living out of suitcases while vacationing.
I agree! I don’t know why they didn’t include this method - i can fit way more in my suitcase using this method - i think it is because it utilizes all of the space - there are no leftover nooks and crannies to stuff anything into. The only problem is the weight because you can pack so much more into the space.
If you roll inside the cube you'll get more space after it gets compressed. In many videos people just throw things in the cube and miss on the benefits of using packing cubes.
Packing tomorrow! This is right on time!!
Rolling using cubes or baggies is best for rucksacks too!!!
I have found that most hotels have an iron/ironing board and a hairdryer, so never bring those items. I use the roll method and usually do not have an issue with wrinkles. Another trick is coordinating your color scheme. Mine was black and white when I packed in one carry on for 10 days in England a couple of years ago: 2 pairs of black jeans (wore one), 1 pair each of capris & dress slacks, a black skirt, black & white dress and several white, combination white/black tops. I wore my comfortable walking shoes, packed dressy flats, wore my jeans jacket and raincoat. I did ship some clothing back home to make room for purchases.
To accommodate purchases, either don't pack your suitcase to the brim and/or I fold and pack 1 or 2 add'l large carryon/beach/overnight bags/purses that you can use for purchases on your return trip.
I roll and pack into large ziplock freezer bags. Makes for easy unpacking and organizing of garment types. Plus it keeps clothes safe from and spills in the suitcase if that happens.
Rolling does not make wrinkles!! Love rolling!!
i am a roller since i discover this methods it change my life
Hangers add additional weight to your luggage. I prefer my own hairdryer so I always bring it with me. I always check my bag - cannot deal with lugging it around.
Really good video actually showing the methods. I myself like a combination of packing cubes and laying pants and larger tops flat. Although more space savvy i don't want to deal with the wrinkles that come with rolling. 👍👍👍
I’ve done all three and I do like the hanging. But it really depends on the trip. But great demos.
I like your hanger method & some room for purchases. ✨
Spending a week in England in December & am making packing lists now... I’ve done the roll, the cubes, folding, and hangers, on different trips. I generally don’t find rolling gives me any more space, but combo of rolling and CUBES- magic! If I’m only going for a weekend, I definitely use hangers.
This is what I do!! Definitely MAGIC!
I do rolling and cubes, she could have fit those 2 cubes into the one bigger cube to save space. I would never pack with hangers, all that wasted space. I also put my clothes and soft items on the other side than she did, with the handle grooves because you can fold smaller clothes items to fit in those grooves so you're not wasting that space either.
I have everything on hangers also...but I use cleaner plastic bags and nothing absolutely nothing wrinkles.....because it slides
Roll and put in packing cubes - works great !
OmL, thank the lord, you decided to pack realistically unlike some other channels that act like every person is folding and packing like we r using our mouth to do everything
I pack different items differently. Pjs, undies, socks, T-shirts, et al are all rolled and stuffed into cubes. Dresses & dress shirts are on hangers in a garment bag from eagle creek. Jeans, some skirts or similar items I put into a pak-it folding system from eagle creek. All shoes go in shoe bags.
I also love to use hangers to pack; however I put each outfit in a dry cleaner bag, which reduces wrinkling evern more. I use smaller cubes for undies, pjs, etc that I place in the first layer in the middle of the suitcase. Shoes in shower caps fit on the bottom of the first layer, and curling irons, dryers, electronics, and other "hard stuff" fit along the sides. This leaves plenty of room for the hanging clothes. This not only reduces wrinkling but saves a lot of time packing.
I like to roll, but I have also hung all shirts together on one hanger and dresses on another hanger. Then put them in the suitcase on the hanger. It also saves space in the closet. Then roll pants and whatever doesn't wrinkle. Most my clothes doesn't wrinkle. I also bring antiwrinkle spray by downey. You could also make use of the space in your packed purses for underwear, toiletries, belts, etc.
👏👏👏👏love the roll method I use it
Packing cubes are awesome. Roll your clothes up to maximise space
I fold things nicely and pop them in a made for travel compression bag (you roll to release the air, but lay flat). I’ve found I can pack a LOT more that way, and it minimizes wrinkles over rolling.
I roll and don't feel I encounter much wrinkles (I still iron anyway, my obsession).
I pack clothes that don't wrinkle or not easily. I roll everything. If I do have something that might wrinkle I carry a wrinkle release spray with me.
TRUE!! Rolling helps avoid wrinkles! Anything that ends up needing a light pressing is a fabric that would need pressing no matter which method you used to pack.
I too Roll & use packing cubes. It works amazingly. My pants have only been slightly wrinkled. Additionally my smallest carryon has a compartment for my laptop. So I could comfortably open it, if need be, without anyone seeing my underclothing.
Roll inside packing cubes for sure! Dollar store or hotel shower caps for shoes...socks, belts, scarves inside flat shoes!
Roll and put in packing cubes, works like a charm.
I use several rectangular packing cubes that can stack on their side in the roller (travel fashion girl designed cubes are specifically sized to do this). I use these cubes for my 1st layer (thermals, Ts, tanks) & underwear. Also for belts, scarves, beanies and gloves. I roll and stuff in the cubes taking advantage of the ability to compress.Then a bigger cube for folded mid layers like sweaters, sweatshirts, fleece jacket and pants/dresses. I pack one shoe option and wear the other on the plane (socks packed in shoes). I pack for a week in Seattle fall/winter in a 21” this way. For a weekend trip like the example you could do a tote instead of a 21” roller but it’s sometimes nice to have the wheels and extra room for purchases.
Hey guys check out the "bundling method". I found it's the best for when I go on a cruise because it saves space and my clothes arrive with minimal wrinkles. Comes in handy because most cruise lines don't allow you to bring an iron on board
Tracey looks beautiful love the hair and makeuo
Love this...I'm a roller, definitely. I don't care if things get wrinkled, I will iron them ONLY if absolutely necessary; which it usually isn't. :-)
I love my packing cubes. I fold and put in each cube. One benefit is that the clothes don't shift in travel and less wrinkles than rolling. My husband rolls.
once I had an interview and need a quick steam on my shirt, I sprinkle water on it and dry the wrinkle areas with hair dryer, it seems to worked
When I was working in the wardrobe department for filming we packed the clothes the third way unless the clothes can be folded. Well hanging things straight away is very effective but bringing hangers out can be quite a hassle.
I recently folded all my clothes at home the Konmarie method and when it came to go on holiday, to the UK in winter from a hot climate, I packed for a whole week into a carry on (only one bag allowed - no extra handbag or laptop) I just lifted everything from my drawer into my case, I also had a pair of high heeled boots and a chunky jumper & big bag of toiletries & make-up. The same trip the year before, I took checked in luggage as well!
The best thing about packing cubes is that the items don’t shift during the flight. I roll and fold packing a packing cube. I can get 2 to 3 weeks worth of stuff in a carry on.
Yep, 10 days full of stuff for me!
And if you're moving from hotel to hotel cubes are an easy way to separate your clean clothes from the dirty ones.
Roll your clothes, use wrinkle release and ask for more hangers if you need it. There's no way in heck I'm packing hangers. Ridiculous
How does rolling create wrinkles but folding doesn't?
I roll all my clothes. I've never had to iron anything no wrinkles whatsoever
Depends on how neat you are and what the fabric is. I always fold. With rolling T-shirt I get all these little creases in it, when folding I get slight bend in the middle. It's the same as in my closet, the bend will even out when I wear it
I roll everything.... 😀
Great segment
I roll everything but not the way the presenter rolled on this video. I lay shirt flat, fold sleeves over back of shirt and roll. Wrinkles are minimal and I can pack so efficiently that I have to careful to not exceed the weight limit of 50 Lb limit. Rolling is far more efficient.
I’m a massive fan of cubes.
I would roll nad pack hangers. :)
I roll,
If you roll consciously (and not haphazardly) you get very few wrinkles.
I do have small fabric bags that I put my undies/bras in so its a cube in a sense.
rolling method vs compression bags? 🧐🛍🧐
Can you take your electric appliances on your carryon - as in on the plane?
Very nice
I roll my clothes put them in packing cubes - and spray with water if there are any wrinkles in my ray on blend fabrics...
-good ideas
My method is rolling and using packing tubes. I find I pack less which keeps weight down and leaves room for purchases abroad.
What about the added weight of the hangars??
I typically take 5-day trips, and I roll 5 individual outfits … skivvies and socks, then tees or shirts, then pants on the outside of the roll. That way, all I have to do is grab a roll and slip into my clothes for the day. I travel only with attire that can stand up the to wrinkles -- they don't appear, they disappear when I put the items on, or they just don't matter. I pack shoes in plastic newspaper sleeves, and always keep a plastic bag on hand to pack dirty clothes for the trip home. I get a LOT into my carry-on bag, and always need to call on someone stronger than I am to lift it into the overhead bin. Be sure to make a list of every single item you have packed, so you don't forget anything when packing for your return trip. Also, be sure to put your name an contact information inside, so if your luggage is lost, you can be tracked down. For safety and security reasons, you don't want your name and address visible to the rest of the world on the luggage tag.
Roll and cubes _
I have tried rolling, folding and laying flat. For certain clothing items the rolling seems to create too many wrinkles. So I mix up the packing technique and only roll what does not intensely wrinkle; like tshirts, shorts, jeans, cheap dresses and leisure wear. Rolling does not work well for all materials; especially if you are taking business attire. However, most hotels do carry irons you can use.
True, I roll the majority of clothes but some large or bulkier items like jackets or sweaters are way too bulky when rolled, taking up more space. With those items I fold them as flat a possible and either put them on the very bottom (most sweaters) or lay on the very top (jacket) after everything is packed.
Love that color on you. That peach is everything.
Many don't....depending on where you Travel...
I roll clothes and fit far more.....also 19 inch is the limit on some airlines so why risk having to pay to check your bag for 2 inches? Hangers? No, just will add to weight and less easily fit in when packing....creams and aerosols 3oz max and must be placed in the container on the belt separately in a baggie separately..so you must remove that from your carry on when going through the baggage check...remember when packing your overhead bag that you must be able to lift it and place it in the overhead yourself.....there isn't always a kind man around to ask for assistance...though I have been lucky on that score.....Happy flying...
How about rolling into a packing cube?
Where are the make up and toiletries, that's half of the space
I was wondering the same! My makeup & toiletry bags take up space and weight. Unless I'm just taking a trip for a couple of days I prefer to pay for 1 small - med suitcase b/c those mini containers in my carry on are NOT going to hold enough skincare, toiletries and ACCESSORIES for a few weeks. Totally unrealistic if you're doing activities and going out to events/dinner in the evenings.
Do the kon Mari method into packing cubes. That works amazingly for me
I tightly roll then out the rolls into packing cubes.
That's a little bit of stuff she's packing some women travel with much more even for one week. She's packing three underwares as the host said she packs fourteen I am surely with her. Packing cubes are great for this type of packing.
Melle Jayneir, you'd pack 14 pairs of underwear for a weekend away? That's 2 nights, and 3 days, including what you're wearing when you arrive. How many times a day do you change your underwear??
Haven't heard anything about dealing with TSA stuff
One tip that I like is to wear something on travel day that you don't like or plan to donate. Then when you get to destination and it's ready for a change of clothes, just throw out what you wore. Leaves more room in a suitcase and you don't have to pack it when you return.
That's so much for only a weekend
I pack on hangers too
Marie condo folding method convert, I still roll my jeans in my drawers. In a move I leave my clothes in hangers colour and style coded with tape holding the different items together accordingly to its category. Toot my own horn! Great minds think a like
What hotel doesn't provide a hairdryer??
I thought that too but some international destinations do not provide.
You'd be surprised what some hotels will omit. I went to Germany and the nice hotel didn't even have wash clothes.
@@insertnamehere9154 I don't think washcloths are the norm in Europe. I've never used one or seen one in any of my friends' or family's bathrooms. We tend to use bath sponges, or body brushes or, for the more organically inclined - loofahs. I'd be curious to know if there are other people from Europe here, if they have a similar experience or is it just me?
@@truella1305 Washcloths aren't really the norm. I haven't heard about anyone using it here (I'm in Sweden). You do get small towels for your face but hey you could use it for your body. Why are washcloths used ? I mean you either scrub with a loofah or glove or you just wash your body with water and soap and that's it. Sometimes paper towels are omitted with washcloths for drying your bum after washing.
Hairdryer is a hit or miss in the Philippines, at least.
Im a roller!
still a lot for a weekend. 2 pairs of shoes and a hairdryer? I use the hairdryer at the hotel. and with shoes I wear the one that I travel with and flipflops for when I shower. And with cloths I wear the most baggy cloths. And hangers? I don't know what kind of weekends she gets... but it's way to much. And use packing cubes you can take more stuff if you need to.
Shoana's definitely Canadian! they say out as 'oat'... :)
Hi. I would like to see plus size clothing used since more cloth is used. Thanks.
I roll
I broke and combined the rule by rolling and then putting into a packing cube. I hv not checked in a bag in 8 yrs of travel.
I have no problem with quantity in the case, it’s sticking to the airline’s permitted weight..!
I've had no problems with wrinkles when I roll the clothes.
10 days vacation in Rome ,i have no problem
I hate rolling tbh. For me it creates a bunch of wrinkles and I’d rather do the hanger method
They should have tried the file method
File method? Is that like con mari?
LMAO!! The file method, HAHAHA...
I could never put my shoes together with other things.
those were brand new, I'm sure she would have bagged it or shower capped them if they weren't. lol
Always bag ones shoes!!! 😉
I always shower cap my shoes, You can get about 10 for $1.00@ Walmart, I learned this years ago and I absolutely LUV it!
I separate shoes, put them in clear plastic bags (like from fruit section of grocery store) and pack them down along the sides/edge of the suitcase AFTER I've packed everything else.
I'm not sure about the packing cubes. Since you're just folding, why not fold them to fit and skip the expense of the cube?
Some people use them as drawers or in drawers for organization. I use compression cubes & roll so I get the most room I can. I went on a 2 1/2 week vacation with only a carry-on.
I use cubes because it's a more organized and cleaner way to keep clothes not mixing with other stuff. And when you want something you find it easily.
Well, when your suitcase zipper pops open & your stuff falls out, all you have to grab are a few packing cubes instead of all your stuff flying out all over the place. Plus it is neater when going thru inspections.
Why would you take a load of hangers? And out of all the methods that is the quickest way to waste space and get wrinkled clothes. Rolling with travel cubes all the way....no steamer needed!!
Ha... Try vacumbags - had 5 weeks worth in a carry on..
That's all right to start, but how do you pack it back in if you don't have a vacuum cleaner for the flight back? Do you borrow one from the hotel's housekeeping department?
@@bsteven885 I don't use a vacuumcleaner.
I stack the clothes unfoldedwith delicate items in the middle of the pile, fold it all together to fit en the bag(s) and then i place the bag on a bed, sofa or floor and sit-glide from the end to the zipper, which i close tight while sitting on the bag.
Easypeasy but looks silly...
I roll long way and short way.
