Cadence reviews and discussion

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.

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’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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

(Review from an aesthetic and functional girly perspective.) I have followed and supported Cadence for a long time, beginning with their Original Capsules set. My initial intention for getting the capsules was to reduce the amount of travel products I purchased, and the Original Capsules seemed like an eco-friendly and aesthetic option. In addition, I love supporting small businesses/brands. It's also a huge plus that the CEO and founder is a female POC! The Original Capsules were small, but easy to travel with. They were weighty, but not as much as the new capsules. Each capsule could hold enough shampoo and conditioner for a few days use, especially since I don't wash my hair everyday. I also used them for vitamins/pills, facial cleanser, toner, serums, sunscreen, body lotion, etc. I ran into the issue of cracking capsules several times, and each time I reached out to customer service, they were prompt in resolving my issue. They had me send in my cracked capsules for replacements. Besides the cracking issue, the only other problem I had was that one capsule was often not enough product for an extended trip. I decided to upgrade to the new capsule system a year or so after its launch since they were larger and could be expanded with the Extender. The opening on the new/current capsules is larger so product flows out very quickly (too quickly). The seal on the capsules is a bit misaligned on some of the capsules, but not a huge deal. Cadence also released the Adapters and the Spatula to help with getting product out. I have not purchased either of these, so I cannot comment on them at the moment. Nonetheless, I use the capsules every time I travel. I also usually carry one with pills and one with sunscreen in my bag. In addition, I purchased the Parcel. I think the Parcel is my favorite product from Cadence that I've purchased thus far. It's well-designed, and the magnetic closure is very secure and easy to maneuver with one hand, unlike zippers. The capsules also fit into the Parcel perfectly. I love that they magnetize together when open, and they're easy to travel and organize with. Overall, Cadence does a great job designing aesthetic and functional products. The Capsules have some minor issues, such as being heavy and minor leaking. However, the Cadence team really innovates with all of its products to work well with the capsule system. The Parcel is fantastic--no further notes. Lastly, their customer service is top notch!

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.

These bad boys DO NOT LEAK!!!! That's huge obviously. Practically, I don't love having to stick my hand/fingers in to get product out especially skincare and also if you're in the shower the products inevitably get diluted. The size is convenient for sure. They are the best option I think for someone who is frequently taking short trips.

I’ve been a fan of Cadence since they first launched their capsules. There are so many attention to detail features that I love - from the magnetic caps that stick to the side of the capsule, to the interchangeable (also magnetic!) labels. The capsules have been so helpful with travel!

I’ve been following Cadence for several years and took advantage of the Thingdrop to purchase them, finally. I’m delighted with the quality and the smallest size (0.56fl oz) has been great for carrying my daily medication. I haven’t used them for anything else, but I’ll be testing out their reliability with more liquid substrates soon.

I wanted to love the Cadence Capsules so much, the concept is amazing but two of mine ended up leaking. Thankfully I had them in the parcel bag, otherwise my clothes would’ve been ruined by the tinted moisturizer, which was really disappointing. For the price, I’m honestly not sure they’re worth it. That said, I did really like the parcel bags! They feel super sturdy and well-made. I just ordered a smaller size than I meant to, but again… the price is kind of crazy for what you get.

I travel a lot and the Cadence Parcel System has been such a game changer for me. Everything feels really streamlined and intentional, which I appreciate when I’m constantly packing and unpacking. The parcels are sturdy, leakproof, and honestly chic enough to leave out on a hotel counter. My favorite part is actually the parcel bag itself. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do, but I reach for it all the time—sometimes I even use it as my touch-up makeup bag during the day because it’s the perfect size and keeps everything organized without feeling bulky.
