I also got a set of Amazon Basics cubes back when they were really cheap, and find them useful.

Primarily, for minimizing disruption and keeping things compartmentalized, so when you're digging for something in particular, you won't disrupt the entire suitcase and create a messy box of clothes if you're not careful. Just pull out the relevant cube, remove the item, and put it back.

They also help in terms of packing a suitcase, making it a task of fitting building blocks of sorts, instead of piles of loose clothing, and whatever else you carry to/bring back from the trip.

In terms of space saving, or being able to cram more stuff into the same space, it will still depend on how well you fold the clothes and lay out each smaller compartment. I looked for tips and found the "rolling" technique does work for casual clothing that doesn't need to be pressed and wrinkle-free.

My set has two each medium and large and it works well for me; I don't how useful I'd find the smaller ones, but YMMV.
Packing cubes are great when packing for a baby/toddler.
The cubes that have another zipper are way better for traveling as they can compress the clothes

Does anyone have experience with packing cubes? Are they worth it?

I don't use then for travel so can't speak to that use case. I have a few sets, purchased back when all this Amazon basics stuff went on massive sale. They've been great for organizing and storing linens, clothes, sewing projects in progress, and fabric scraps. They come in multiple sizes to fit different needs, take up little space, and while the contents are visible through the front, they still provide a modicum of dust protection.

I am bummed that I missed out on the Amazon basics sale. That is a smart way to utilize them.

I use the ebags packing cubes. They are useful and pretty sturdy for the price. Honestly they are pretty great compared to cheap Amazon or AliExpress ones. I ordered some more.

I never travel without them, both for leisure and for business. I only use a carry on-sized roller board and personal item. For the carry-on, I use the medium for clothes and small for intimates. Larger items go straight into the suitcase, like sweaters and long pants. Leaves room for other stuff in there like shoes, umbrella, souvenirs, etc
Also lets me easily transfer into my personal item or a different bag without everything coming apart. I'm always "packed and ready to go" every morning/night since repacking and separating dirty clothes become extremely easy. I also use the large ones at home for storage as an easy way to switch out seasonal clothing. For reference I am a woman. The cubes keep my blouses from going all loosey goosey in my suitcase. Have never used the slim packing cubes.

I use them all the time when traveling. I use a separate cube for each clothing type. Socks and underclothes in one, casual shirts in one, etc. My wife, on the other hand uses only the larger cubes and puts an entire days outfit, soup to nuts, in a single cube. It seems to work out for her.

Yes. What a world of a difference in how you pack and organize items.

I want expandable ones.

I have the Classic 6 Piece Packing Cube Set [ebay.com] and use them all the time. Paid ~$32 back in 2019 and they're still in great shape except for the one I washed and the fabric started to kinda flake off some kind of coating.

The slim ones have been difficult for me to find a good use for. I typically use them for underwear and socks, and may throw some t-shirts in them if it's only a 2-3 day trip.

I'm actually going to pick up two more of the Classic 3 Piece Packing Cube Set [ebay.com]. They don't compress at all like a lot of packing cubes do but they're well-made and really help with organization.

I used ebag packing cubes and an ebag when I backpacked across Europe for three months 15 years ago. Worked great and I still have the bags and still use them.

since my wife introduced them to in, I always travel with them. When I get to my destination, I pull out my cubes and stick them in the drawers most accomodations provide. Tuck away my suitcase and out of the way. Nice and easy to unpack, and then to pack up also.

Wait people saying they're travelling with it, as in flying with these? Do they fit the measurements?

Ok never mind I see, these are supposed to go inside the big bag
