This top-rated Amazon travel essential compresses bulky clothes into neat, space-saving packs for less than £9

This is currently one of the best-selling products across the entire Amazon online store - and with so many people getting ready to go on holiday, it's no wonder.

They're vacuum storage bags, and they're designed to compress fabrics and other soft items down to a fraction of their original size by squashing them into a vacuum.

Just fill the zip-lock bags with clothes, attach the supplied pump to the airtight seal, and suck all the air out of every little gap.

Vacuum bags are also ideal for storing away your summer or winter clothes at the end of each seasonplaceholder image

This turns a suitcase-sized bundle of clothes into a much smaller package, meaning you no longer need to travel light when you go away.

They're useful for luggage, long-term seasonal clothes storage at home, or packing up to move house.
