I’m prone to forgetting to pack underwear. Â It’s a sad truth I’m embarrassed to admit. Â Even sadder is the amount of money I’ve spent purchasing underwear at airports ($10 for a basic cotton pair? Â Thieves).
What’s a girl to do? Â She blogs about it once she figures out a system that works.
Friends, I have FOUND that system.  Not only does it ensure that I pack my undergarments, it guarantees that I’ll have the right ones – no more no less.
Some additional packing tips for those unmentionables:
- It’s boring, but you can never go wrong with nude and black undergarments – particularly if you’re inclined to wear light colored tops and dark bottoms.
- The stain-resistant underwear may be an odd one, but you will never be more grateful to be donning a pair of Dear Kates than when Aunt Flo decides to come for an impromptu visit. Â These delicates won’t be ruined by her surprise, and they’re amazingly comfortable and so pretty. Â BONUS – get 25% off your order from Dear Kates using the code “hithaonthego” (offer good through April 20th)
- You can swap out a wireless bra for an extra sports bra – but I’m obsessed with Addiction’s triangular bra. Â It offers the right amount of support for dashing through airports (which, let’s face it, is my cardio) without pinching you on long flights.
- I’m a recent convert to shapewear. Â After being amused by Heather Thomson’s wit on Real Housewives of NYC, I purchased my first Yummie item (this slimming tank). Â Consider me obsessed – her garments are smoothing without suffocating you. Â This convenient package of shapewear has me covered for any outfit, anywhere, at any time.
- I love this FLIGHT001 lingerie bag for the same reasons I love my SpacePak – it keeps my garments protected from the other elements in my suitcase, it has a dirty clothing compartment (key), and the separate lingerie bag ensures I actually pack my underwear. Â The detergent LIVES in my liquids bag – underwear is the easiest thing to wash in a hotel room sink, and it dries quickly.
