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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

I like the idea of these and right now it seems like these are the best option for travel beauty containers. I’ve used the OG version of these when they first came out as well and I think their updated design is smart for ease of product use and that they’re magnetic makes storage easier in small spaces and tight quarters (like NYC apts!). I also like that they’re customizable and you can switch out the labels as needed. Some gripes are that might not be dealbreakers for others: they’re plastic although they use recycled plastic. Every batch is slightly different so I’ve noticed that the “add-on” pieces when I’m trying to hold larger volumes don’t always fit perfectly which is more of an aesthetic thing than a functional issue. I have noticed that some of their products do leak for me if I am trying to carry a hair oil around.

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 was genuinely excited to try Cadence. I picked up six containers and two pour attachments through a Thingdrop deal. The unboxing experience was great, and there’s no denying the product looks beautiful. But after testing them out, I came away feeling like these are more of a form-over-function product. They’re better suited to a bathroom shelf than a tightly packed carry-on. What I liked: The design is genuinely beautiful. The containers feel premium, and the magnetic click when they snap together is oddly satisfying. I liked being able to customize the colors and labels to suit what I needed. The pill containers were especially useful for a weekend trip. It was nice to have a neat, color-coded way to separate my various supplements. What didn’t work for me: The price is wild. I paid 1575 DKK, or roughly 240 USD, for six small containers (and expensive shipping to Denmark). That was with a discount. Even with a discount, it’s incredibly hard to justify. You also have to decide up front what you’re putting in each pod, which is fine in theory, but annoying when you want to switch things up. And since replacement labels cost extra, you’re basically locked in. The pour attachments were a letdown. I hoped they’d make dispensing shampoo or shower gel easier, but they’re fiddly and slow. In practice, a cheap squeezy bottle is just better – especially when you’re mid-shower and trying to move fast. They also get messy as the liquid gets everywhere within the container. The hexagonal screw tops are cute and make the containers easier to open, but they don’t always align when closed. It’s a small detail, but once you notice it, it’s hard to unsee. I also didn’t find the magnets particularly useful. I had imagined neatly snapping them together in my bag, but the reality is they all just get tossed in a ziplock to go through airport security. Most of all, they’re heavy and feel oddly space-inefficient. I travel light and try to optimize what I bring with me. These containers just aren’t practical compared to something like Muji’s lightweight, cheap alternatives. The sizing of the containers also seems a bit random. 0.56 fl oz and 1.32 fl oz don’t really mean anything to me. Including millilitres would make it easier to gauge what actually fits – especially for international users. What I’d buy instead: Muji’s travel containers are much more functional for my needs. They’re super lightweight, cheap, easy to squeeze, see-through, and come with flip lids that are far more convenient. And if I leave one behind in a hotel bathroom, it’s no big deal. Final thoughts: Cadence is a cool, innovative product and clearly designed with care. But for someone who travels light and values practicality, it just doesn’t make much sense for me. If you love curated travel accessories and don’t mind paying a huge premium for beautiful design, you might love these. But if you’re looking for something more functional and flexible, there are better, cheaper options out there.

Okay they’re cuuuuttteeee! But they’re small. I dk what I was expecting, but that was my first thought. I immediately regretted not ordering the adapters because digging out product isn’t my favorite, so I placed a second order for those almost instantly. Sometimes it takes me a second to screw them closed and sometimes the corners don’t fully line up, the seal has been fine but it’s hard for me to trust. I think the aesthetic of the brand is there, but with the price I can see how it would be hard to justify when other travel options are easier to use and lighter on the wallet
