Cadence earns mixed-to-positive reviews: the magnetic, leak-resistant, customizable capsules streamline packing and look chic, but size, weight, and durability issues temper enthusiasm. Reviews praise organization, aesthetics, sustainability, and strong magnets for tidy travel; drawbacks include small internal capacity for liquids like shampoo, occasional leakage, hard-to-open lids when wet, heavier build, weak magnet linkage at times, and reports of cracking over months of use.

  • 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!

  • I had such a fun time designing my cadence set! Shipping was quick and they came well packaged. I’ve taken my Cadence set on a few trips and they have worked out fabulously for hair products, skincare, and meds. I do think if you travel for longer time, the newer larger capsules might be a better fit, but these have been great for weekend and shorter trips!

  • I was so excited to get a set of Cadence in a Thingdrop! I had a big dilemma when ordering though because I wasn't sure what I wanted as the labels, so I just got them blank. Which makes it a little hard to determine what's inside once I did figure out what I wanted to put in each. Not sure if this is already available, but would love to ability to order separately or even as stickers! These are perfect for supplements and medication.

  • Great for traveling. Saves you so much space in your toiletry bag and also no need to worry about anything breaking. The variety of sizes for containers is also nice, along with being able to customize the colors and descriptions.

  • I LOVE these! So much so, I purchased three 6-packs for friends that I knew were traveling soon. I took my containers to Tulum, Mexico and filled with soaps, rose hip oil, moisturizers and hair products and had no issues with spillage at all. You can customize your containers or leave them blank. There’s even ones to choose from that are super helpful and they stick together pretty well. These do pack a good amount of product, so if it’s a trip for 3-5 days, it’s perfect!

  • I received a gift certificate to then customize my set of containers on the Cadence website. There are a ton of preset options for labeling the containers and you can also label them yourself to ensure your pack is tailormade for however you need it. There are so many color options and the magnetic lids are really satisfying.

    SO aesthetically pleasing and practical! I had been keeping an eye on these for a while but couldn't stomach the price for giving it a first try. I wish these had a little more internal capacity - if I'm going on a weeklong trip, I would need a different container for shampoo and conditioner - but otherwise they are fun, versatile, and make it easier to organize.

  • Honestly, I'm not impressed. I had long been eyeing these chic, functional travel packs and was excited to see them discounted on a ThingDrop. But when they arrived, the quality of the material was a bit lower than I had expected -- Especially for a product at such a high price point. I wouldn't have purchased these without the steep discount.

    Feedback

    The plastic/material quality should be higher to justify the steep price.

  • I LOVE THESE!!!!! I have been wanting to try these forever, but the cost hindered me from purchasing them. Through thing testing I finally was able to test them and I love it! They make packing for a trip so easy and love the sustainability behind the products. They are magnetic so they all stay together and I like how you can always change the magnets on top for what is in the jar. I recommended them to a friend and she purchased some after she saw mine!

    Feedback

    Price is high for these. Most people will just purchase cheaper plastic or sample size ones as a cost effective way to travel. Easier to throw those away while these you would never want to throw away!!

  • I like that Cadence pays attention to details. From customizable tile options, to how they package their containers (Recyclable with an added company info card that is a plantable with wildflowers seeds). Great quality and fun colors. These containers have a high price point but it's understandable with the containers being magnetic, the quality and design.

    Feedback

    These containers are great for a short trip. I would need larger sizes for my shampoo/conditioner if I was traveling longer than a few days. My concerns then would be the weight if they were made larger. These are quite heavy but very durable.

  • I got to try this product through Thingdrop! Cadence had been on my radar for a little bit, as I thought it would be useful to stay more organized while traveling. The containers are nice quality and sleek/efficient. However, they're a bit smaller than I was expecting. As a person with a lot of hair, for example, I think I'd use all of the shampoo I could fit in one container in one go. I didn't get specific written labels for the tops because I wasn't sure what I would need to travel with at any given time. Instead, I chose a variety of the symbols they have available so I could distinguish between containers, since I also got all the same color. I think this product will be useful to me for shorter weekend trips or when I'm out and about daily and need to bring little amounts of products with me.

    Maybe make the containers a little bigger? Or have different size options to choose from.

  • 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

  • I absolutely LOVE this brand. The color, the convenience, the accessibility and quality of this product is unmatched. I literally find a reason to use a capsule every day. This product has definitely provided a level of luxe to my travel. People are always asking about the deets on these when they seen them! So if you are on the fence, don’t be! They are worth the money.

  • As a frequent traveler, I was so happy that I was able to try Cadence during the Thingdrop. As a frequent traveler, I wanted to try Cadence because it's an eco-friendly option over travel-sized toiletries. I loved how you are able to customize your labels which are magnetic and can be easily changed. I've used Cadence for the past few months and can honestly say, they are every penny. The day before my trips, I would run to the store to stock up on travel-sized toiletries. I'm so happy that this has stopped because of Cadence and I can just refill containers. I also really love how the containers are magnetic so they don't get lost in whichever bag you toss 'em in! Plus, you can use them to store much more than toiletries- they've come in handy storing my jewelry! I would love to see a lower price point in the future so more people can make the switch!

  • I was really enjoying these when I first got them. They’re cute and I love the different colors and interchangeable tiles but they are small. I have issues with 2 of the lids closing all the way and you can only fit things you don’t need to use that often. I know they changed their product type and I think those would work a lot better than their original model.

  • I ordered the custom six piece pack and chose the colors petal, lavender, sand, terracotta, eucalyptus, and pacific. When selecting colors, I was also able to choose the labels. I selected conditioner, shampoo, body wash, cleanser, moisturizer, and the heart icon. I thought the selection process and checkout went very smoothly and I appreciated how easy it was to customize my order. Once the order was placed, I received an email summarizing my selections and a notification once my package was shipped. I received my order very quickly. Because I ordered the six pack, the package arrived in a very slim envelope with no packaging and it fit in my mailbox. Everything arrived without any damage and the product is gorgeous. The colors look exactly as pictured and the magnets are very strong! I can also easily remove the capsule label, but the magnet on top of the lid is also strong enough to keep the label in place. I feel like the capsules are a little too small if you need shampoo or conditioner or even body wash for a week long trip, but would be suitable for a weekend trip. I encourage future buyers to consider that when they’re choosing labels.

    The container size is smaller than I expected and wouldn’t really hold enough of some products for longer trips. I think shampoo, conditioner and body wash would only work with this container for a short trip. The lids and base fit together really smoothly and I don’t think the containers will leak, but I haven’t tested yet.

  • (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.
