Cadence reviews and discussion

I have been eyeing these for years but I could never justify pulling the trigger on the price. I got these during a thing drop and first impression I am really impressed with the quality. They feel sturdy and unlike the countless cheap travel pots and organizers I have bought over the years, these feel like they will last. I also got the plastic travel pouches and they are much more sturdy than I expected. The magnetic closure is really strong so I don’t see them flipping open in my bags. Yes they are expensive (hence the 4 star instead of 5) but if you want to invest in good quality travel containers these are a great option!

I got three of the original medium parcels in three different colors. They are beautiful but straight out of the package, the parcels are super rigid plastic and won’t stay open on the counter. Maybe it needs time? They’re also smaller than expected, and hold less than I thought they would. Overall, while beautiful I think they are less space efficient than my existing toiletry bag and for the price per parcel, it’s a bit insane. Also FYI for their marketing team, I got so many follow up emails after I ordered that were very specific to their capsule products even though I ordered parcels.

I’m someone who has to take alot of medications and it’s so much more convenient for me to make sure all my medications are accounted for with me at all times when it’s the right time to take them.

I’ve been wanting to try these for a while and overall they’re good. The magnetic feature is super nice so they stay together, and I love the labels. They are very rigid, which is nice to prevent breakage but does make it harder to use products like shampoo or conditioner which would normally come in a squeeze bottle - I’ll probably stick to my squeeze travel bottles for those, but this is nice for skincare products and I’m happy to avoid purchasing travel minis. I bought a set of the adapters as well, and while they’re nice, I’m disappointed that they don’t fit on the small size capsules - it does say this on the site, but kind of annoying that they’re selling a “system” that doesn’t fully work together.

The capsules are pretty nice and leak-proof for most of my products. I also liked how standardized the sizing was to fit together snugly. I’m a big fan of the parcels. I think they’re great quality, and fit a ton of stuff. I can see them being a bit tricky to pack since the tops fold down and the magnetic closure is in a specific spot, but they’re solid and were very helpful for miscellaneous travel items, card games, and toiletries.

Super clever product. I love how easy they are to pack and the way they nest together. I do find the cost to be excessive, but I've found them reliable and useful. I also love how you can re-label them yourself.

I like the customization and clean look, but the value doesn’t quite match the price, IMO. I bought a set for medicine/supplements, and although the finish feels premium, it’s hard to justify the cost (somehow over $200). I’m not done with Cadence, though—an XL Parcel for traveling with hair tools is tempting. Bottom line: stylish and customizable, but pricey for practicality. More travel-focused options and better price-to-value would encourage me to buy more, as they are beautifully designed.

The capsules are beautiful, sturdy and I love that they are magnetic - simply because it’s fun to handle them that way. Some have mentioned they are heavy, but that isn’t an issue for me at all as I feel they are substantial and, therefore, well made. My only issue is with the parcels. They are sturdy and gorgeous. However, I cannot get them to stay open wide and magnetize to each other. I kept trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I thought that would be a cool feature to have while traveling - lining them up on a counter next to each other and being able to reach into each one for makeup, hair products. etc. I still think they are beautiful and will enjoy packing all my toiletries and random items in them, but I hope Cadence can make stronger magnets on the parcel bags going forward. As one reviewer noted, perhaps with use, they will function better in that way.

The Cadence system is a masterful example of form and function. Both stylish and a joy to use, I can't say that I've necessarily cut down on my toiletries, but I've definitely streamlined them. One thing I didn't anticipate was the function of the oil-drip spout as an add on... I think it only fits on the medium sized capsules and bigger. I really like the organizer for them too. It's not necessary if you already have a bag but it sure is aesthetically pleasing. I think I need another one just to match this one and hold my make up (no I will not be decanting my makeup). So far... the screw-top lids have been completely leak-proof. Time will tell but I'm optimistic that they're as good as they seem. It's a premium product with a price tag to match, but for anyone who values a streamlined, organized, and leak-free travel experience, it’s worth the investment if you travel a lot. They're really a joy to use and a genuine upgrade to my travel routine.

While the product is very aesthetically pleasing and high quality, I don't think they are the most convenient for travel. there is only one type of closure, so it's not the best for products with a low viscosity. Also, the products themselves are pretty heavy, which makes it less travel friendly

I have a couple of the capsules that I received as a gift. I use them for traveling -- only to carry my vitamins/pills. I have tried putting moisturizer in one prior to that, but I don't love scooping my fingers into the container to get the moisturizer. I prefer a pour cap. So, I still use them every time I travel, but just prefer for solid items. The design is sleek and I do like the magnetic closure. Definitely an upgrade from using ziplock bags!

I was unsure about this product in theory. The marketing, colors, and ease seemed so appealing, but the price point seemed so high! After buying, gifting, and using the cadence capsules, I have to admit - they’re definitely worth it. As someone who loves to travel, has staple products I love, and doesn’t love to pay for a checked bag, these little capsules are a game changer, and the adapters make them even better (see my picture for the pouring one!!! It saves me such a mess!) I will say, I bought one years ago that seems to be porcelain, and now they feel like plastic? Maybe it was a limited edition but I would love the old material back!

I've been using these as travel containers for maybe 3 years now? My mother got them for my sisters and me as stocking stuffers for Christmas. We each got a set. I love that they're small, yet deceivingly capable of holding lots of product. I can always fit more than I need.

I got these to hold my vitamins/medicine while traveling. Normally, everything ends up in a ziplock bag or an old medicine bottle. I love that these have removable labels, and the magnets hold them together. The colors are beautiful!I can't wait to use these on my next trip!

Very innovative product- love the packaging and the look and feel. The downside to this is that shampoo and conditioner I personally prefer to be in a squeeze bottle vs. having to scoop out anything. I also think they’re heavier than I’d like when I travel, I prefer more lightweight items that are less bulky. However those points make it a plus as well - super high quality look and feel and I love the magnetic snaps to keep all the items together.

I got my Cadence capsules through a Thingdrop and had been wanting to try them for a while. I use them all the time for travel - they’re a big upgrade from the random drugstore bottles I used to rely on. The labels on top make it easy to keep track of what’s inside, and each one holds just enough for about a weeklong trip without taking up too much space. They’re sleek, satisfying to use, and genuinely make packing feel more organized. That said, a few of mine have cracked over time, and I’m not sure why. I also don’t think I would’ve paid full price - they’re quite expensive for what they are, and a bit heavier than expected. Still, I reach for them constantly, which probably says it all: not perfect, but a thoughtful, well-designed upgrade if you travel often.

Honestly love them so much. I received the original capsules as a gift years ago and liked them but thought they were a bit small, so I upgraded myself to the newer capsules and a parcel bag during a thingdrop. The newer capsules are much bigger sizing! Medium was perfect for shampoo/conditioner/body wash on a 5 day trip, I did not actually need the extenders that I also bought. I wish I had gotten more of the small size - it holds a lot more than I expected and is better for face products. The parcel is also nice, although the top doesn't stay open very well like in the marketing pictures. Already plotting my next purchase to fill the gaps in my routine! Though I will wait for a sale. Overall, I really love the innovation and intention behind this brand. Also a fun follow on socials. Also, would love an adaptor that somehow works with my contact solution lol that was the one product I decanted that did not work well in the capsule + pour adaptor.

The design is really interesting and the quality of the containers are good. I’ve now ordered twice from Cadence. The first order was the original design and I found the containers too small for my needs. When I saw there was a new design plus parcel, I was really excited! They are perfect for longer travel. Quality is just as good in the newer models

I was really hoping for these to live up to the hype, but I actually think they're harder to use than the classic silicone squeezy travel toiletry bottles. I find it especially difficult to use these in a shower while I'm traveling because of the design—having to unscrew it and then pour the product out. They also don't really take up less room in my toiletry bag.

The Cadence Travel Containers have quickly become a staple in my travel routine thanks to their compact design. Perfect for storing skincare, vitamins, or small jewelry they keep everything organized and fit neatly into a carry on. Made from high quality, durable materials, they feel sturdy and long-lasting, unlike many flimsy alternatives.
