Space Saving Bags

We’re almost positive you’ve seen the commercials before. Does Space Bag ring a bell? Infomercials for space saving bags have been quite popular as of lately. They’re supposed to save a dramatic amount of space for you, but do they really stand up to their claims? We’re here to set the record straight, and give you an opinion based on consumer research and reviews, as well as our own opinions, too.

Let’s start with what the ads claim. The space bag, one of the most popular space saving bags, claims to triple your storage space, and prevent damage from insects, mildew and any other types of damage that can tend to happen when storing clothes. They basically say that they will come back out, just like they went in. For most people with a lot of baggy clothes hanging around their closets, this sounds like the perfect fix. Moving in for a closer look, you’ll see why we agree.

By taking your clothes, and placing them within a space saving bag, you then take a vacuum to the hole-cover, removing all of the excess air, usually making the garment or piece of clothing take of half as much space. Some items work better than others, but you get the general idea. This is quite an ingenious idea, since the excess air is what really takes up space, not the clothing itself. However, these little buggers aren’t exactly simple to use. But with a little bit of learning, you can definitely get the process down.

One of the most difficult things to do is get a good seal. This is absolutely vital, since you want to be able to suck out as much excess air as possible. Once you get this down pat, everything else is a breeze. Even kids are able to help out there parents with the act of storing away old clothes.

You may be asking yourself, “how much excess room am I really getting?” The best way to answer this question is to really take a good look at what you need to store. It also depends on the size of the bag you purchase. If you purchase a few sets of these space saving bags, you should have no problem storing many different kinds of clothes, pillows and bedding, which will allow you to clear up a ton of space and stress. This is great for the extra bedding you won’t be using till next year, or the winter clothes that tend to lie around all summer.

The extra space that you find once you begin using a space saving bag system will amaze you. Taking a cramped, dingy closet to a neat and organized space where you can find everything that you once put in.

There are plenty of different sizes available, and even a few different companies to choose from. The space bags tend to come in three different sizes: small, medium and large. A few companies also have larger bags, designed to fit much more than the usual space bag.

Although, it is a good idea to be careful with the space saving bags; after all, they are just plastic. Removing jewelry or sharp objects from your clothes will help cut down on any tears or snags. If you take the proper precautions, you can definitely have a long, healthy relationship with these space saving bags.
