Underbed vac pac help

Has anybody used these "vac pac" underbed storage things? You put clothes/sheets/etc in, seal the flaps together and then vacuum the air out through a hole on top to compress it all.
I can't get mine to work! They're from Tesco. The flaps are all smoothly sealed with no leaks or anything, but when I put my vaccuum cleaner into action nothing happens.
What are people's experiences? Are they just rubbish or is there a trick to it?

Are you putting the hose thing in to the hole in the top far enough for the "valve" to work?C.R.A.P.R.O.L.L.Z # 40 spanner supervisor.No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten."l! ilyë yantë ranya nar vanwë"0

You have to insert the hose quite firmly & hold it there whilst it sucks the air out.
I used to love these bags - but couldn't work out why all of mine (under the bed) kept reinflating themselves....... Until one day I happened to catch two of my cats walking very deliberately over the bags, playing silly stalking games with each other. They'd made dozens of tiny claw holes.....0 -
I don't know the tesco ones in particular, but they can sometimes have a little cap which you need to remove or unscrew where you put the vacuum nozzle.0
