Useful to organize
By Jeanne F., New Brunswick, NJ in October, 2012
I just used a set of these for a 3 day trip to Quebec. I love them! Fits well in my carry-on luggage . Helps me organize and then find items.
YOU MUST PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!

The stow away packing cubes will make your travel easy and efficient. They hold much more than it looks like they will from these photos. My packing, traveling, and unpacking were stress-free. My suitcase stayed organized. The items I packed inside them were organized and stayed so throughout my trip. I did not need to unpack my suitcase in my hotel room. I took what I needed from a cube then replaced the cube back into my suitcase. Furiously repacking my suitcase the night before the end of a trip is a thing of the past! I suggest two orders per person for a one to two week trip. I am one who does pack the kitchen sink for every trip.

I can't believe I waited so long to get some of these. They are fantastic!
Great Organizer
By Lisa P., Carlsbad, CA in June, 2012
These packing tubes are great as is, or paired with the packing cubes. I utilize both for a well organized suitcase for any travel plans. Able to uitilize for clothing as well as chargers for mobile phone & camera. This set includes 2 small/1 large. The small are very roomy. More like a medium size when compared to other similiar products. The zipper pulls are strong. They each hold many items. One of the best travel accessories I've purchased. If you travel throughout the year or that one vacation, these will be worth the purchase. If you are interested in keeping your items organized and easy to find these packing tubes are necessary. These are perfect for airport security, as well as sitting in a dresser drawer at your destination.
The best idea since sliced bread!
By Jeanne Lang M., Keizer, OR in June, 2012
These packing tubes are not "tubes" per se. They are rectangles. They are also sturdy, lightweight, and durable. The zippers worked very well and without snags. The mesh allows you to see the contents without disturbing any item. The two smaller tubes were ideal for my prescription medicine and first aid kit. The larger cube was ideal for knits. I rolled my t-shirts and blouses compactly and never had to worry about wrinkles. The cubes kept my gear tidy. I removed them from the suitcase, deposited them into the hotel dresser drawers, and voila, I was unpacked! There was no disturbance from the TSA inspection.
christmas gift

I asked for these cubes because I liked the size a little more than the ones I already have. But the other ones are better because they are mesh on five sides, not just the top. the bottom is also sturdier, but I don't think that is advantageous in any way. I am using both on a curernt trip and the amount of mesh/quality of the sides on this set is noticeable and I think the more mesh wins out. That said, four stars because I love packing cubes and I think they are way better than packing without.
Handy!
By Mary W., Belleville, IL in January, 2012
Now you can keep all those little things you pack, like socks, undies and belts just to name a few handy and organized. I have several of these and never travel without them. Buy them. You will love them!
great product
By Judith C., Orchard Park, NY in December, 2011
I found these packing cubes to be great for organizing, but think that they should come larger to combine bulkier items (sweaters or pants) and there should be a way to label them so you know what's inside. It is hard to figure out what is inside each one because you can't really see through the mesh.
Nice protection for unmentionables
By Anonymous, Tucson, AZ in December, 2011
I am glad to have purchased something to protect my privacy as the TSA is going through my suitcase. I hope they don't open these but hopefully they won't. Keeping my private things private is important. Thanks for this product.
add a card slot for contents list
By Judith C., NY in October, 2011
I bought several packing cubes and love the concept. Since you really can't see too well into the pack, and it would help if they could be labeled. Since I planned on leaving some stuff in the cubes, I wanted to tell them apart easily. Not a fan of many different colored cubes to differentiate. I listed contents on index cards but couldn't read them through the mesh. I had one for a scarf, umbrella and gloves, one for pants, one for sweaters, one for the plane with a blanket, neck roll, one with shoes. They are great, and I would buy more. Well made.
These are great!

This is my second set of StowAways Packing Tubes. I ordered more because they are so wonderful for keeping your suitcase organized. I've also bought sets for my husband and daughters.

By Douglas P., Honolulu, HI in September, 2011
I found this item to meet my travel packing needs quite well. Will need to purchase additional sizes, should my travel plans increase. Especially items for travel comfort!
stowaways
By Pamela H., COrpus Christi, TX in September, 2011
Great item. Would order again.
Love these!
By Pat S., Concord, NH in September, 2011
Great way to stay organized while traveling.
Not better but the Best Travel item.
By Susan K., Fort Lauderdale, FL in September, 2011
I purchased these to use in a duffel bag for a vacation, we were limited on our luggage type and size, These came in so perfect for the trip, Keeps everything together but separate from everything else. Easy to find what you are looking for. Organization and easy! Sock, Undies, Tops, Shirts, Slacks, Cords, Medicine all in one place.
Love the packing tubes
By Mary A., Minneapolis, MN in August, 2011
I found so many uses for the stow away packing tubes I ordered a second set!
Great shape, great color, not-so-great zipper pulls
By Pam W., Troy, ID in August, 2011
Just used these for the first time while *one-bagging*. I packed the large cube with underwear, socks & PJ's and it was the perfect center for my bundle packing. I packed toiletries in the 2 smaller tubes. Unfortunately, the first night, the zipper tab fell off one, then I realized the hook it was fastened too was slightly open as was the case with all the other zippers. I unfortunately did not pack pliers! I managed to slide the tab back in, and will work on them to see if I can get them clamped better. I will also now always travel with twist ties! I love the colors and the light weight of the tubes, just look at the zippers BEFORE you leave and see if they need work.
Great Item
By Laura D., North Hollywood, CA in August, 2011
Made packing so much easier. I then put the containers in the drawers and what I didn't use, went back easily in my suitcase. Great item
organization help
By Margaret M., Dunkirk, MD in June, 2011
I like to use these cubes in my carry-on bag. They make it finding items I use on board quick and easy.
Great travel item
By Patricia O., Mitchells, VA in June, 2011
These were terrific on my recent trip. Can be used for everything, easy to pack and unpack. I will never travel without them.
great shapes to fit into small spaces
By gloria g., Edmonton, AB in May, 2011
I used the long packing tubes to hold all our "drugstore" items and lotions. One tube fit right in the bottom of my bag between the bag frames and the other one tucked neatly into a side spot after I had filled my case with other packing cubes.
Little things count
By Maribeth T., Jamestown, RI in May, 2011
I loved the small tubes. They were perfect for daily medications, underwear, cosmetics and tooth care products. The tubes, cubes and caps for my toothbrush made a month long stay all over the south of Italy a real pleasure instead of a drag and dread of packing and repacking. They will definitely be traveling with me in the future. Thanks Magellan.
Abolutely Essential
By Jo M., Miami, FL in March, 2011
These handy cubes are indispensable for any traveler. You can quickly unpack and pack as you move from hotel to hotel. Grouping items together in the see through cube let's you quickly find the warm clothing as you meet an unexpected climate change and not have to rummage through the suitcare. This is my second set. Won't travel without them.
packing cubes
By Grace K., OR in February, 2011
These cubes appear to be less stable than my current ones, but after inspecting them closer, they are as good. The fact that they store much flatter than my others is a plus. Zippers work easily, the shapes and colors are fun, actually. We will probably purchase more of different color/shape/size.
Great Tubes
By William B., Marble Hill, MO in February, 2011
Excellent useful product
LOVE These Handy Helpers !!
By Ann U., Holiday, FL in January, 2011
I've been using regular household Ziplock bags for years to pack and organize everything in my travel bags. However, the problem with plastic bags is they are slippery. Well, not to worry, these handy dandy mesh Stow-Aways are absolutely ideal for organizing everything - and NO slipping !!! I have all sizes in two colors for even better organizing ! Use them for travel, at home, for crafting, pet care, and anywhere you need sensible organization ! :-)
Perfect
By Harriet M., Ft. Lauderdale, FL in January, 2011
Found these very helpful to stay organized when "living" out of a suitcase. Great for clothes and accessories, but also for all the electronic charging cords we carry these days.
PACKING TUBES
By BARBARA D., NORTH WOODMERE, NY in January, 2011
I FIND THESE PACKING TUBES TO BE AMAZING! I NEVER LIKE TO PUT MY CLOTHING (THAT TOUCHES MY SKIN), IN THE DRAWERS, WHEN I TRAVEL. I USE TO USE ZIP LOCK BAGS TO PUT MY UNDERWEAR IN AND SUCH. NOW I JUST PUT MY TUBES IN THEM! SO EASY.. I BOUGHT TWO SETS OF THEM, BECAUSE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. NOW I KEEP MY EXTRA SET OF MAKE UP IN ONE, MY MEDICAL THINGS IN ANOTHER, ETC. I KEEP ALL PACKED AT ALL TIMES...THEN TOSS THEM INTO WHICH LUGGAGE I AM USING AND GO!!!!! GREAT IDEA!!!!! BARB
Excellent product for traveling
By Lea R., Covington, WA in November, 2010
I used the largest stow-away to put all my items in that I wanted immediately available in the plane. It was so easy to keep everything in and put the whole thing in the holder for easy access. I used one of the small stow-aways to put all my toiletries in. This made it easy to pull out for the security check as well as a handy space to keep everything organized in the bathroom of the hotel room.
Very satisfied.
By Rev.Joseph Z., Newburgh, IN in October, 2010
Just returned from Alpine Europe trip. Was asked how I look so pressed and together each day. I had to divulge that the various packing cubes from magellan's does the trick.
Great organizers
By Virginia C., Wilmington, NY in October, 2010
We frequently travel in a two-seater sportscar, and I pack the trunk like a suitcase, since there's no room for real luggage! These tubes and the packing envelopes are fabulous for my purposes. In addition, when we DO take luggage, it's often a duffle, and the tubes/ envelopes keep everything from wrinkling and sliding to one end. Thanks for good, practical products.
I need more of these!
By Marianne Y., AB in September, 2010
These are great! They keep everthing organized so well - no more rummaging through the suitcase getting everything messed up and wrinkled. I used some of these during a recent trip, and I kept my items in the tubes/cubes at all times, because they kept everything organized and made packing and re-packing so easy. I will get more of these for sure.
Use for travel all the time!
By Melanie A., IL in August, 2010
Using the mesh packing cubes really helps me stay organized when I travel. They are so easy! I put my things in them, put them in the suitcase and then unpack them into a drawer wherever I'm staying. The best thing is that I know TSA is not rummaging through my underwear and clothes when they examine my suitcase because they can easily see everything I've got packed. Not only do I use them, but I like them so much that I've also given them as gifts to family and friends!
Handy
By Kristi W., AB in August, 2010
I would not pack without packing cubes again. This set is a very little more lightweight than its sister pack (same brand/color options, different sizes) because it does not have the padded bottom like the other (which would be nice for the larger one but unnecessary for the smaller two). I ordered both packs and found them to complement each other very well. When packing a carry-on sized suitcase, the larger one from this set and the larger from the other fit perfectly across the bottom.
great for underware
By Helen W., Pittsburgh, PA in July, 2010
the small and slender ones are great for underware and socks
