This makes organizing while packing easier. I was using ziploc gallon sized bags before which wasn't environmentally friendly. I mostly use these bags to keep my delicates, socks, and shoes separate from my other travel items. I don't like to put my delicates to come in direct contact with a hotel dresser drawer ( I know Im weird). So its great to unpack them and just put the whole bag in the drawer. I use these bags on every trip.
