Anybody here got a pro tip for packing / compressing down sleeping bags?

I have a pipedream 400 which allegedly will compress to 19x14cm, which volume-wise should mean it fits in an Apidura fork bag, but I have found this to be impossible

Get a stuff sack?

Just put one end it, start ramming it in, then roll the top closure a little, then put your weight on it and compress down while it vacumes the air inside.

This was basically my intention for the fork bag, since it’s really just a roll top bag, but it wasn’t happening. I tried the seatpack instead and the bag took up the entirety of the 7L so i think I’m just being shit.

Are tapered stuff sacks a thing?
