As a writer who often focuses on travel, I’m living out of a suitcase a lot. Like, a lot a lot. And I can attest, when packing cubes first came into fashion, I didn’t understand why I needed to purchase another item for my suitcase. (It has pockets, after all.) But once I took the plunge, wow, what a game-changer. Not only can you fit more in your suitcase, but everything just stays more organized. Here, some of the best travel cubes no matter what kind of traveler you are.

Calpak is known for its travel gear, and this 5-piece set is pretty perfect. It comes with four cubes of various sizes, plus an envelope pouch for makeup, hair accessories, and any other small items. Plus, how cute is this terrazzo pattern?

You probably know Away for their popular luggage, but did you know they also sell equally amazing packing cubes? The set of four is made of waterproof nylon and is designed to fit perfectly inside the Away carry-on, while the set of six ($20 more) fits inside Away’s larger checked suitcases.

This set comes in five different colors with four cubes, a shoe bag, and a laundry bag for dirty clothes. It’s also waterproof and extra thick for durability. And when it’s sold at this low price, you can get one for every person in your family.

Talk about a super set. This popular set from eBags contains one large, two slim, and four small cubes, all light as a feather. Use them all for long trips, or split them up in ways that make sense for you for shorter journeys. Did I mention they come in different colors?

Need a little more organization with your space-saving? Enter these cubes, which helpfully feature labels for the items you’ll be packing, including a laundry bag.

BÉIS, founded by actress Shay Mitchell, has a bunch of trend-forward travel items, including this set of packing cubes. Not only does it include a small, medium, and large travel bag, but it also includes a zip pouch and two shoe bags to keep all your things organized. Even better: Your purchase supports the Girl Up campaign.
