You already know the many unique ways of using Extra Large Cubes and Extra Small Cubes from our previous articles. This time, let’s put the limelight on Medium Cubes. Our medium packing cell can fit up to 15 casual shirts (depending on the size), and even a few leggings and shorts. But let’s skip the normal for now and jump into the different fun and quirky ways you can utilize medium packing cubes.

For the Family

1. Complete First Aid KitExtra Small Cubes are perfect for organizing your travel first aid  kit. However, when you’re at home, you’ll need a more complex first aid kit for the family and a separate one for pets, if you have any. Having an elaborate first aid kit at home requires more space, that’s why you need medium packing cubes. If you need help with which items should be in your home first aid kit (as well as your pet’s) check out this first aid post.

2. Spare Toiletry Essentials Pouch – You’re not too extra for having extras! And we mean the necessities. Organize your spare tubes of toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, and other extra toiletries in a medium packing cube. Stack them nicely in your linen closet or bathroom cabinet. When you run out of any of these essentials, you can always restock the items enough for a couple of weeks.

3. Snack Pack – Stash your kids’ favorite snacks in their own medium cubes for late night cravings or day time grub. Its easy-grip handle makes it convenient to bring anywhere and everywhere so they won’t miss out on munch time. 

4. Beach Essentials – It’s that time of the year again where palm trees and flamingo pool floats flood your Instagram and Facebook feed. Get your beach essentials ready in a medium packing cube. Choose a fun summer color like turquoise, pink, green, rose, or lilac to match with your swimwear. Pack microfiber beach towels, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, sun visor/hat, inflatable beach ball, and a magazine or book to read.

5. Swimwear Organizer (when not in use) – When you’re not out swimming in the pool or frolicking in the ocean, where does your swimwear go? Honestly, they can rest quite comfortably in a medium packing cube. You know what they say, clothes for the same weather should go together. Keep your bathing suits in one cube so you can easily grab a pair or two for your next beach trip.

6. Bags within a Bag (aka grocery bags) – Bag inception? Nope, just bags within a medium clear packing cube. Keep your tote bags, Eco bags, and shopping bags in one place for when you need them. It’s better to utilize these reusable bags for your grocery shopping rather than the plastic ones. It’s one simple way of contributing to the wellness of our environment.

7. Pillowcase Storage – Keep your pillow covers fresh and crisp by placing them inside a medium packing cube after laundry. Stack them nicely in your linen closet and you’ll have nice clean covers for a better sleep and healthier skin. 

Did You Know? Dermatologists and skin care experts recommend changing your pillowcases and bed sheets at least once a week, especially if you have sensitive skin.

8. Clean Towel Keeper – Store your spare bath towels in a medium cube when they’re not in use. It’s better to have extra towels stored in your closet so that when the dirty ones are in the laundry, you can use fresh ones right away. Placing them in a medium cube will keep them from acquiring dust from just sitting in the closet.

9. Journal Holder – Keep old journals and notebooks you’ve been saving to use in a medium cube for safekeeping. Whenever you want to revisit and reread certain moments of your life, you won’t have to search far and wide for your old journals because you can easily spot them in your clear medium cube.

10. Closet / Cabinet Organizer – Let medium packing cubes do what they do best: organize! Make three separate piles for your  clothing items: stay, donate and toss. Then organize those in the ‘stay’ pile by category (shirts, dresses, pants, etc.) before packing them inside color coded medium cubes.

11. Hobby Collection Container – If you’re the kind of person who likes to keep and collect things, we totally support you. Be it stamps, coins, comic books, stones, toys, or buttons, you can use the medium cube to keep them organized. You can even show off your collection on a shelf with the clear design.

12. Pet Snacks & Stuff If you’re a pet lover like us, you also consider dogs and cats as part of the family! That’s why they deserve their own medium packing cube for all their treats and other essentials. This will make going out for a walk in the park more convenient and fun with their things always packed and ready to go. Store their treats, leashes, poopie bags, park towels and toys in the cube… before you leave the house, just grab and go!

For Daddies

13. Clear Stadium Bag – For all NFL fans or concert goers out there, this is the perfect stadium bag for you. It meets the clear bag policy of the SEC for all football games. Each medium cube has a clear design and does not exceed 12” x 6” x 12”. Enjoy the game or concert with your essentials neatly packed in your stadium approved tote bag! Don’t forget to bring snacks, sunscreen, a face towel, rain gear, and bottled water. You’re welcome.

Your backpack’s like, “Looking for your socks? Have this pencil instead!” The medium cube is perfect for building modular kits for your backpack. Sort your cubes by category such as toiletries, clothes, undies, gadgets, and more so you’ll never grab the wrong item again.

15. Cords Cube – Tangled cords? We know… We have the perfect solution for you! Presenting, a medium packing cube that can store all your cords and wires in place (with a little help from your good ol’ friend, velcro strips, of course). 

16. Gym Tote – Driving straight from work to the gym and then to dinner with friends? Pack all your different outfits, bluetooth earbuds, hydro flask water bottle, microfiber towel, deodorant, muscle rub cream, and other personal items in the cube! Keep your cube in a place where you can always see it so it serves as a reminder that you need to hit the gym.

21. Pouch Holder – You can never have too many pouches when you have a medium cube to keep them all in. Pouches for travel documents, travel jewelry pouch, nail kit, sewing kit, loyalty cards, stationery kit, dental kit, makeup pouch, feminine care products, cash, planner tools, coupons, business cards, and all other things can fit right into a medium packing cube.
