 Compression Packing Cubes  Help You Fit A Few Essentials Into Your Carry-On, In Case Your Luggage Doesn't Arrive With You

Review: "Wanted to use small carry-on size luggage for a one month overseas trip. Have always rolled clothes and packed tightly, but these cubes made all the difference. You simply fold your clothes as you would if storing in drawers and slide them into the bag. Then, using the two zippers, compress the package. When you unpack, everything is visible and neatly laid out." - bookclub

Why you strive on putting BP in bad light (not an aim at this posts author, but BP as a company). This now have -53 score. This means 30 (staring +) + 53 current score, which means 83 persons dislikes this sort of posts right now. But maybe BP doesn't care, just as long as we interact with it? And even if one or two of you think this is good, doesn't change the massive amounts of downvotes this sorts of posts get all the time. Cheers! I write this because I like BPs posts, but this and celeb waters it out and make it less interesting to return. edit: score now -113.

A friend who was in the Navy (they have lots of white uniforms) used to carry these in his pockets, for that just in case food stains. They are nice and easy to use! (Works well on a spaghetti splatter on a cotton sweater).
