Forever packing 12 shirts for a 2-day trip because I might spill...a lot.
Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops to places with different types of weather. With these laundry soap sheets, I was able to wash my clothes in the sink — letting me pack just the right amount of clothes for all the different places I went to." —Katie Fujarski
Get it from Amazon for $4.90+ (available in five styles).
The set includes four packing cubes and a water-resistant pouch to hold any wet items. Plus, the mesh fronts lets you see what's inside so you don't have to open each one when you're looking for that striped shirt you just KNOW you packed.
Promising review: "I ordered these to pack for a cruise. I loved the different sizes as they accommodate all items. It made my packing so much more organized. And when I got on the cruise, I just put cubes in the drawers. I used large cubes for dirty clothes coming home. So unpacking was organized too. I would highly recommend these for traveling." —Mio1975

Promising review: "I make many trips to Canada, and this case lets me keep all my necessary items in one place. It easily holds my passport, cash, and cards that I only need when I travel. Therefore, it's easy to just leave it all in one place and grab it again for the next trip. It makes packing easy, and I never forget anything. Plus, the product looks great and is durable." —Brian Rogers

Promising review: "I was afraid these were going to be low quality and flimsy, but they are not. They are also large enough for my ankle boots to fit into. What I really like about these is that they have a plastic peep section so I can see what shoes are inside at a glance. It's very convenient. I debated a lot about what brand to buy. I'm glad I choose this one." —Melissa
Get a set of five from Amazon for $8.88 (available in medium and large and in four colors).
Promising review: "I've been using this for about two years to organize my carry-on. I travel 2-3 days a week to Boston, and this thing is amazing. It takes me literally seconds to both pack and unpack. To unpack, I simply pull up and hang in the hotel closet. It collapses wonderfully and weighs next to nothing. If you are a constant jet-setter like me this is a must if you don't check bags. It was totally worth the cost from my standpoint." —RP

Promising review: "I bought this before my 9.5-hour flight from Honolulu, HI to Narita, Japan on Hawaiian Airlines. I read reviews that said it didn’t fit in certain seat pockets, but I still chanced it. It fit perfectly, and I had my necessities at hand without having to constantly reach for my bag under the seat. I’m glad I got it, even though I only know that it fits that one airplane." — Kako_Mochi
Get it from Nordstrom for $34 (available in five colors).
Promising review: "I was definitely skeptical about a bar shampoo and conditioner, but I travel a lot and really wanted to cut down the use of plastic products as much as possible. I honestly am in love! I got the Heali Kiwi shampoo bar and the Wonderbar conditioner, as well as one of their eco-friendly bamboo-and-sugar cane storage containers, and my very long, fine oily hair, which I do have to wash daily looks and feels great. I recommend anyone on the fence to definitely give it a try! It works! So wonderful for travel too!" —M.A.
Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in eight scents).
Promising review: "I love this little gadget. I used it to attach my jacket and computer bag to my luggage on an extended business trip. It made my airport walks so much easier. Now that I'm back home, I've been using it daily to attach my jacket or cardigan to my work bag or purse." —Michele
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in eight colors)
Promising review: "I love this bag for travel. It's the perfect size. Unlike so many travel laundry bags, this one is the perfect size for clothes and undies. So many are too small like a lingerie bag or too big like a bag to take to the laundry mat. This is cute and folds up into itself." —N. Newman
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors).
Promising review: "This USB charger has been awesome for travel since it allows me to skip packing a separate USB brick for each of my devices. It is smart enough to determine whether the device has the capability to quickly charge via higher amperage output and automatically delivers the appropriate output to each device. The LED that indicates that the unit is receiving power is a nice touch, especially when many hotels I stay at seem to have dead power outlets. I use it with an iPad, iPhone, portable Bluetooth speaker, and a portable recharging pack. It handles those devices well and charges them quickly." —Sam Ellis
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in black and white).
The case can hold up to four ties, two pairs of cufflinks, and two pairs of collar stays (which are included, score!).

Promising review: "This bag held surprisingly more than expected. I put tiny travel jars for my skincare creams and other small toiletries in it with room to spare. I definitely feel like it was easier to pack and was also easy to grab out of my bag for security. It feels sturdy with nice, thick vinyl. The double zipper moved easily, and I was pleased that it opened completely for ease of getting the items I needed out of it." —Mrs M Tate

Promising review: "I recently purchased this bag to be able to accommodate a couple of suits for business trips without having to check a large garment bag. This worked perfectly! It was easy to pack, I had no issues placing it in the overhead bins, and my suits were in great condition when I unpacked at the hotel. Overall, it's a great value." —PSTEENSON

Fill the right side up with your clothes and then use the left side for items such as toiletries, shoes, and the middle for thinner items like laptops or tablets.
Promising review: "I had a really good experience and I personally thought the Away Bigger Carry-On was worth the $250. I was able to fit a large amount of items, the laundry bag was a lifesaver, the compression section really made everything fit better, and it looks stylish too. The fact that it has a lifetime guarantee also helps. Obviously $200+ can be a huge purchase for some people, but it's a good investment for my lifestyle. And if you hate it within the 100 days, you can always return it." —Arielle Calderon

Promising review: "This luggage scale is so handy and is great for weighing your luggage. I was a little concerned before I got it because I wasn't sure how accurate it would be. When I used it when I went on vacation, it was dead on to what the airport said, so I highly recommend this. Plus, it’s easy to pack in your bags." —Teresa Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
Promising review: "I love this travel case. I'm able to fit a razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, nail clipper, and cotton swabs, and there is still space for more—even a tube of shaving cream. This is great for traveling. It's so convenient!!!!" —***Q-Ster***
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five colors).
Promising review: "Without my glasses on, I have a tough time separating the shampoo from the conditioner when they are in the same size travel bottles without labels. I leave the conditioner as is without a band and put one on the shampoo, by feel I can now easily identify which one I have in hand." —SimpleHappyLife
Get a pack of four from The Container Store for $5.99. And if you don't have a set of travel bottles, you can get those from The Container Store for $0.79+ (available in six sizes).
Promising review: "I really love this! It is great for travel. The pill tray slides out for easy filling and the cap has a flat edge so it can be used as a cup! The bottle also has feet on the side so it can rest on the table while you take the pills out. Fantastic design! The bottle is made out of thin plastic, so I would be careful with washing." —AmazonAddict
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in teal and black).
Promising review: "I would give this more stars if I could. It's exactly what I've been looking for forever!!! It has plenty of room for my clunky jewelry, and enough separate pouches that things don't get tangled. I LOVE it." —Carrie Minturn
Get it from Amazon for $10.82.
Get it from Target for $23.99.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I wanted. It isn’t super fancy, but I love that all my toiletries can stay standing up. It makes it easy to pack, move and when you get to where you are going, you can just open it, fold down the outside and see everything inside. It also has some handy organizing features like mesh side pockets, elastic along the inside edges to bundle things, and a little mini pouch that I use for hair ties. I would buy again, to have another, but probably won’t need to replace it for a while." —Maryan

Promising review: "I love this product. I should have bought it years ago. It would have eliminated a lot of hassle while traveling. The best part is that it fits my very fat curling iron. Also, the pocket for the cord is a huge help." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE this felt organizer! It's strong, yet lightweight and has many, many pockets to stash and organize the contents of my bag. I use mine for when I travel and need quick access to my items. My only issue is that I should have chosen a color other than black because my tote is black, my organizer is black, and most of my items are black! Buying the green would have offset my items deep inside the tote. Other than that, I LOVE LOVE LOVE!" —Kathy D

BuzzFeed Shopping's Emma McAnaw says "My Dagne Dover duffle fits soooooo much more than it seems (especially when you fight to the death to fit everything as I do), and it's a super easy carry-on! I just put it under the seat so I don't have to fight people to get the overhead bin space. Also, I've gotten away with bringing it for free on airlines that try to charge for carry-ons because it looks so small"
Get it from Dagne Dover for $95+ (available in five sizes and eight colors).
Promising review: "These were lifesavers! We took a 10-day trip to Europe and were able to pack only in a carry on using these! I used 2 medium in my carry-on and my husband used 3 in his carry-on. I packed all my undergarments, 5 dresses, 4 pairs of jeans, multiple blouses, 3 pairs of shorts and a few other pieces of clothes. And still has room for my shoes. These will definitely be used each time we travel now. Well worth it." —Amazon Customer
