... large bags approx 24 inches x 30 inches. When I opened the packs, I had to read and re-read the diagrammatical instructions several times to get my head around what exactly to do as it was more complicated than i thought. The vacuum bags I bought were quite thick clear plastic but I had to put my stuff in the bag (spare double duvet in one) then kneel on it and roll the open edge of the bag around a 1cm diameter plastic pole then slide the pole and rolled edge into a slightly bugger pole that would create an air ti...moreCustomer Vacuum Bags in General Reviews (3)

Several years ago when I had a house and a boyfriend at the time who wanted me to be the 'perfect housewife' (one reason we are no longer together!); I became all domesticated and invested in some vacuum bags.

I first stumbled upon vacuum bags a good few years ago now, while looking for storage solutions that would work in our tiny rented cottage (I wouldn't stop buying clothes you see).
