Cadence earns strong reviews for elevating travel organization with sleek, magnetic, leak-resistant capsules that simplify packing and look polished on the counter; many users say they work well for week‑long or shorter trips and for creams, pills, and jewelry. Reviews also flag notable drawbacks: small internal capacity, heaviness and bulk, occasional leakage or cracking, weakish magnets for some, jar-style dispensing that’s messy for runny liquids, and parcels that feel rigid and don’t stay open.

Love my cadence capsules, only wish is that there was a better labeling mechanism so I could change the labels over time, or just make them more specific. I find myself opening and closing multiple capsules until I find the right one.

I travel quite often for work so I was very excited to try this product. I have the original capsules and have been using them for a couple years now. They were great until they cracked and created a big mess in my travel bag. Two out of the 6 capsules in my starter pack cracked! The size and shape of the original capsules are convenient for 3-4 day trips. I'm wondering if the newer, larger capsules the same cracking issue. Outside of that, I really liked the product and I'm continuing to use the capsules that are still in tact.

I like how i feel when i carry and take out cadence capsules. however when i received mine i had one that was particularly hard to open. Ofcourse with lotion on they are a bit hard to open, but that's with anything. Ive scratched myself pretty intensely trying to open these. All in all i would give the product a 7 out of ten. the look of the product is a 10/10 and the experience creating your capsules online (no wonder they are featured in moma) but the functionality does lack a bit. 7/10

I'm a frequent traveler who loves to stay organized and I absolutely LOVE my Cadence containers. I knocked off a star because some of my containers eventually cracked, but when I reached out to Cadence, they were quick to respond and offer replacements. I purchased my first set very early on and I imagine there was some iteration on product to make them stronger. Yes, the containers are small... but I've used these containers to take my skincare with me for 3 week long trips and didn't run out of most things. For shampoo/conditioner, yes they are definitely too small unless you are on a very short trip and will only wash your hair once. I think how much you love these really depends on what type of travel you're doing and how much you've experimented with other travel containers. They are probably not worth the splurge if you only travel once or twice a year. If you are on the road monthly or more, I really do believe they are worth it and have traveler friends who feel the same. I'm really excited that they've released a new line with containers of different sizes – these will be really great for some of my longer trips!

Great experience! There was an issue with the batch I had but they quickly remedied the problem and sent me new replacement capsules. I never travel without these!

Wish there was some more variety in size.

I have used these for several months now and also gave some as a gift. They are super cute, and I have had no issues with spillage. Love the magnets and they feel heavy duty. Great for: - smallish pills - jewelry (sometimes I only need like 2 pairs of earrings for a trip and these are perfect for that Good for: - lotion (usually most hotels provide lotion so this isn't a must but is a good size) Not so good for - shampoo/conditioner - I find them to be too small and the wrong dispenser type - makeup - maybe just me but the makeup I use wouldn't transfer nicely to these containers either for size or dispenser reasons For the above reason I usually find myself only using ~3 of the 6 I have
Feedback
As most people have said, these are overpriced IMO. Also - the pre-filled labels just aren't quite right. I love the little symbols and I like the idea of versatile symbols...but they either need more or they need to make them more clear. For example, I'm not going to remember what's inside a rainbow symbol.

Obsessed. Use for my week day pills. Great for travel. I took advantage of the getting my custom tiles in a different language. I have gifted this for friends and family. 10/10

Can’t think of anything. I love how friendly the team was.

Function is the most important characteristic of a travel container and Cadence functions rather well. I started using Cadence last year and have been beyond satisfied with my experience. So much so, that I now purchase Cadence gift cards for my friends and family who travel often. After the functionality of a product, I value and appreciate aesthetics. Cadence has beautiful, customizable packaging and is just one of those little things in my life I appreciate because of the experience.

Cadence containers allow me to take my favorite beauty products when traveling. The ideal size, however, might not be a good fit for longer trips contingent on product consumption. I use 9 containers when traveling which equates to a heavier toiletry bag however I have not had one spill and my product stays fresh. I loved customizing my tiles, some with images and others with words. I also like looking at my color coordinated containers next to the sink, a little detail that makes a difference in my day.

Had an issue at first trying to contact Cadence. And it took sometime before hearing back. (Holiday Season). Other than that, incredible concept and once someone did reach out, the customer service was superb. Thanks!! 🌎🌎

I loved the concept so much I spent a total of $376 on the cadence pods for travel. After a few months they started cracking / leaking so were unusable. I didn't drop them or do anything that would damage them. Way too expensive for this to happen.

Durability is a BIG issue.

The capsules are EXTREMELY heavy even when they are empty... so that being said, I compared the weight of my regular (light) cosmetic bag full with my stuff and the empty capsules... is not worth to buy it. 2 stars because they are well made and the colors are cool, that's it
Feedback
I guess if they get rid of the magnet part it will make the capsules lighter, maybe.

These are genius and has made traveling with a multi-step skincare regime so much easier. I love that you can customize the labels and colors.
Feedback
Some of the tops are a little harder to get off than others. Also, very high price point for essentially a magnetic jar.

You can really tell how much thought went into the design of these containers. Really appealing shape and proportions and yet still completely functional. The labels are easily interchangeable and everything attaches to each other through magnets. Even though the parts are small, you never feel like you are going to drop anything. The magnets provide just enough weight to give it a really sold feel in the hand. I don't use a ton of product so the size is spot on for me. One for toothpaste bites, one for my earplugs, and a few more for cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen for my face are my travel must haves. Where they actually really shine is for daily use. I have been using them for my post gym shower and the smaller volume is never really a limitation there. I never thought that personal care containers was something I would want to invest in, but if you appreciate good design then you will enjoy using these.

Larger sizes would expand the range of products that I could take on trips.

Cadence is truly life changing. As a skincare nerd, it's incredibly important to me to be able to travel with my actual routine. Before Cadence I ended up traveling with whatever mini sizes / samples I had around, because it was so annoying and often wasteful to try to transfer my actual products to those CVS plastic travel containers (stuff would always leak, spill, or degrade - like antioxidants - because of see-through containers). The minis used so much plastic and inevitably I broke out from using products outside my normal routine. Cadence makes traveling with my routine so delightfully seamless. I decant everything into the little containers and in just a few minutes I'm ready to go. One unexpected positive side effect is that the labels on the capsules act as a "packing checklist" so it makes it super easy to make sure you have everything.

Need more sizes! Smaller and larger containers. And a pump would be amazing.
