15 inch Packing Organizer Review




Each 15" Packing Folder holds up to 7 shirts or pants per their description. I have found that me putting more then 5 in the bag they start to get folds in the wrong places. I will blame that on my folding ability most likely though. This organizer makes it very easy to do packing. Personally I only use it to hold shirts that will require ironing. I get them cleaned, ironed, and then put them in my organizer. Now when it comes to packing, this organizer can be a stand along bag to carry in your hands. I personally put my t-shirts and pants in the bag then place this on top of them in the bag. Then when I get to my destination I open my bag and pull this organizer out and everything is in place and no digging around. I am not 100% convinced I do not need to carry my travel iron, but I have not had to use it once I put my shirts into the bag. So this saves me time and efforts once at my destination.


Now for the bag. It seems to be fairly durable but I would not try over loading it and stretching the stitching. Like any other bag treating it in this manner I am sure it will break down and become unusable. The handle for the bag looks like it is only capable of a few pounds of weight, but that is what it is intended for. So do not go putting your bowling ball in it. The different flaps all fold in and Velcro into place. I am sure after years of use the Velcro will start collecting lint balls, they all do. So take care to keep those cleaned out and this should last for a very long time. Each bag comes with a plastic card showing the proper way to fold shirts to put into the bag. The folding directions may be the most important part of this bag!
If you do a lot of traveling, and you have been doing it without these travel organizers, all I can say is you have been doing it wrong. These things are great for maintaining ironed shirts. I am sure it would work as well with pants or skirts. I would like to thank Dot & Dot and affiliates for sending me this organizer to try out and leave my opinion.
