How much space will it actually save?

Depends what you're packing. Bulky, air-filled things — jumpers, jackets, hoodies, towels — compress the most, often by half or more. Jeans, shoes and hard items compress much less. Most people find a week to ten days fits into the space that used to hold three or four days.

How Does It Work

Fold your clothes how you normally would and load the bag. Zip the waterproof zipper, open the one-way valve, hold the pump against it and press the button —flat in under 30 seconds. Close the valve and pack it in your case.No pump handy? Seal it and roll the air out by hand— slower, same result, and it works on a hotel floor with nothing to plug in.

Does it make my bag lighter?

No — and anyone telling you otherwise is having you on. Same clothes, same kilos. What changes is the space they take up. If you're flying Jetstar or Virgin and they weigh your carry-on at the gate, this won't get you under 7kg. What it does is let you fit everything into the one bag you're allowed, so you're not checking luggage at all.

Will it fit my suitcase?

It's sized for standard carry-on and check-in cases. Rolled up empty it takes almost no room, so it travels with you either way.

    The pump is what makes it

    "The bag itself is thick, all black, and feels way more durable than the clear ones I've had rip before. The rechargeable pump is what makes it — hit the button and it sucked my whole bag flat in like 30-40 seconds. Packed 5 days of clothes into a carry-on and still had room left."

    Save quite a bit of space for over-packers like me

    "These bags are really high quality! The material and zipper feel really nice and well-built. They are waterproof and come with a little handle on the side. You can bring along an extra one for dirty/laundry clothes to keep them separate on the way back from your trip."

    Make sure the zippers are completely closed

    "These fit so many clothes in each bag and I can fit all 3 bags on one side of the suitcase, leaving the other open for miscellaneous items. I did have to watch the video explanation 3 X to learn how to use it. Hint: you must make sure zippers are completely closed. Even when you think they are, they probably are not and won't keep the compression. I like how sturdy the zippers are on each bag."

The bag that won't shut

You know the feeling. Everything's on the bed, you've folded it twice, and the lid still won't close. So you kneel on it. Or you pull things out. Or you give up and pay to check a bag you didn't want to check.

The clothes aren't the problem. It's the air between them.

StayFlat pulls the air out. Same clothes, about half the space. Suddenly it shuts — and suddenly a week fits in the bag you're already allowed to bring.

Packing cubes tidy your clothes up, but they don't remove any air — you end up with the same volume, just in neater blocks. 

Cheap vacuum bags do remove the air, then leak it back in, crack at the seams and give up after two or three trips.

Three steps. Under a minute.

Fill it 

Fold your clothes how you normally would and load the bag. The window on the front means you can see what's in each one without unzipping it.

Seal it 

Zip the fully enclosed waterproof zipper. The T-shaped tab means it still opens easily when the bag's packed tight.

Compress it 

Open the one-way valve, hold the pump against it, press the button. Watch it shrink. Close the valve. Done.

Getting there was never the hard part

Sunday night. Flight at six. The bag's fuller than when you arrived, there's dirty washing that won't fold as neatly, and whatever you bought has to fit somewhere.

Every packing trick on the internet works exactly once — on the way out. The bin-bag hack needs a vacuum cleaner. The cheap pump's already broken.

Pump it or roll it, on the floor of the room, and everything fits again.

Cheaper than checking one bag

$99.9 once. A checked bag is $85 each way, every trip, for the rest of your life. One return trip without checking and it's already paid for itself.

 Questions people actually ask 

How much space does it actually save?

Depends what you're packing. Bulky, air-filled things — jumpers, jackets, hoodies, towels, doonas — compress the most, often by half or more. Jeans, shoes and hard items compress much less. Most people find a week to ten days fits into the space that used to hold three or four days.

Does it make my bag lighter?

No — and anyone telling you otherwise is having you on. Same clothes, same kilos. What changes is the space they take up. If you're flying Jetstar or Virgin and they weigh your carry-on at the gate, this won't get you under 7kg. What it does is let you fit everything into the one bag you're allowed, so you're not checking luggage at all.

Will my clothes get creased?

Compressed clothes crease, same as anything packed tightly. Fine for jeans, jumpers, tees, activewear and anything heading for the wash. If you're travelling with a suit or a shirt you need crisp on arrival, hang that one separately

Do I need the pump?

No. The pump's faster and gets it flatter, but you can seal the bag and roll the air out by hand. Handy when the battery's flat or the pump's buried in your other bag.

Can I use it while I'm away?

Yes — that's half the point. The pump's small enough to travel with, charges by USB-C, and you can repack anywhere. Hotel room, hostel, campsite, airport floor.

Is it reusable?

Yes. Open the valve, air goes back in, unzip, repack. Use it every trip.

What about the Jetstar carry-on changes?

From 2 February 2027 Jetstar drops the 7kg weight limit and switches to size instead — a free underseat bag at 40 × 30 × 20cm, with the overhead bag becoming a paid extra. Size is exactly what compression helps with, so if you're flying Jetstar after February this gets a lot more useful than it is today. We'll update this page when the change goes live.

Where does it ship from and how long does it take?

Ships from Australia, 5–9 business days Australia-wide.

What if it's not for me?

Send it back within 100 days for a full refund. No photos, no explanations, no restocking fee.
