Learn how The Adapters can transform your magnetic travel system, allowing you to connect multiple capsules and customize your packing for any trip.
If you already own a magnetic travel container system like The Parcel, you know how satisfying it is to have your toiletries neatly organized and leak-free. But what if you need to carry more than one capsule? Or what if you want to combine different sizes for a longer trip? That's where The Adapters come in. These small but mighty accessories let you connect multiple capsules together, expanding your system's capacity and versatility without adding bulk.

Whether you're a weekend wanderer or a globetrotter, customizing your travel kit is key to packing efficiently. In this guide, we'll show you how to use The Adapters to create a modular setup that adapts to your needs. From pairing a large capsule with a small one to building a complete travel wardrobe, you'll learn how to make the most of your magnetic containers.
What Are The Adapters?
The Adapters are magnetic rings that allow you to attach two or more capsules together end-to-end. Each adapter has a strong magnet on one side and a threaded connection on the other, so you can securely stack capsules of the same or different sizes. They are designed to work seamlessly with all capsules in The Parcel system, including The Large Capsule and The Small Parcel.
Think of them as building blocks for your travel kit. By using adapters, you can combine, say, a shampoo capsule with a conditioner capsule, or a moisturizer with sunscreen. This modularity means you only bring what you need, and you can rearrange your kit for each trip without buying new containers.
- Magnetic connection ensures a secure hold during travel.
- Compatible with all capsule sizes in The Parcel system.
- Lightweight and compact, adding minimal weight to your bag.
How to Connect Capsules with The Adapters
Using The Adapters is straightforward. First, ensure the rim of your capsule is clean and dry. Then, screw the adapter onto the capsule's opening until it's snug. The magnet on the other side will attract the base of another capsule, creating a secure stack. You can repeat this to add more capsules, building a tower that fits your needs.
For example, you could connect a large capsule for shampoo to a small capsule for conditioner using one adapter. Or stack three small capsules for a multi-step skincare routine. The magnetic hold is strong enough to keep them together in your bag, but they can be easily separated when needed.
- Always screw adapters on straight to avoid cross-threading.
- Test the magnetic connection before packing to ensure it's secure.
- Use adapters to create custom sets for different trips.
Creative Ways to Expand Your System
The Adapters open up endless possibilities for customization. Here are a few practical setups:
For a beach vacation, combine The Summer Touch-Up Kit with a large sunscreen capsule. The adapters let you attach the kit's small pods directly to the larger container, keeping everything together. For a business trip, stack a small capsule for face wash, a medium for moisturizer, and another small for eye cream. You can also use adapters to connect a capsule to a solid accessory like a razor handle, though the primary use is capsule-to-capsule.
- Beach setup: The Summer Touch-Up Kit + large sunscreen capsule.
- Skincare stack: small face wash + medium moisturizer + small eye cream.
- Travel pharmacy: The Pill Stacks attached to a large capsule for supplements.
Tips for Maximizing Your Magnetic Travel System
To get the most out of your magnetic containers, plan your packing based on trip duration and activities. For a week-long trip, you might use a large capsule for shampoo, a medium for body wash, and a small for face wash, all connected with adapters. The Canvas Parcel is a great companion for carrying your stacked capsules, as its fabric exterior protects the magnets and keeps everything organized.
Remember that the adapters themselves are removable, so you can reconfigure your system on the go. If you find you need an extra capsule, simply unscrew an adapter and add it. This flexibility is what makes The Parcel system a favorite among frequent travelers.
- Store adapters in a small pouch when not in use to avoid losing them.
- Label your capsules with a marker or sticker to quickly identify contents.
- Use adapters to create a 'tower' that fits vertically in your toiletry bag.
