How to pack your bras when you travel

One of the best thing I brought along for this trip were the zipped up circular laundry bags for bras.  I overlapped one piece over the other and was able to squeeze in 3 bras to a bag.  As there is a hard plastic casing at the top and bottom of the bag, my bras stay in shape all the way.

Here is another reason why you need to do that.

While we were weighing up our bags for our family of 4 at the British Airways check in counter, the staff made us transfer some of the stuff from one bag to another because it was overweight.


Can you imagine on opening your bags in public, all your bras started popping out all over the place? It would have been humiliating moment for me if they were not safely enclosed in the laundry bag.

When you share your luggage with your spouse or partner, you can also use the bags to hold each person’s undies so that you will not have a hard time searching all over the luggage for one or the other’s undies.
