  • Roll-up Bags for Clothes

  • - When I spent two months in Europe, my mother suggested packing my clothes in those bags that you roll up to expel the air [like the vacuum ones without needing a vacuum]. It was the best suggestion I had from anyone and I definitely recommend it. I could sort dirty clothes from clean ones [great when you have smelly walking socks] and they protected my clothes from getting soaked and sticky when some juice spilt all through my case. They are also good when you don't have time to dry wet clothes [like bathers] before moving on; they might smell, but at least your other clothes stay dry.

  • Rolling Into Pantyhose

  • - Traveling in cold weather requires sweaters or bulky flannels. Roll garment, and using the leg of a pair of pantyhose, stuff the item toward the foot. Voila! Instant tight container that doesn't take up any suitcase space. Obviously, the newer the pantyhose, the tighter the fit to the sweater.

  • Save up to 80% on Packing Space

  • - You can use reusable compression bags for pacing items like sweaters and underwear. Not only do they save a lot of space (up to 80%), but they also work great for dirty laundry, because they lock in odors.

  • Saving Space by Stuffing Boots and Shoes

  • - To keep shoes/boots in shape when packing fill them with socks - it also saves space in the suitcase.

  • Saving Your Clothes From Getting Creased

  • - I read this tip, passed by a top model, in a magazine 20 years ago, and have used it ever since. To save your clothes getting creased, lay out a towel, then carefully lay your clothes flat on top of it. When you have laid out all your clothes, at one end place your toiletries bag, or a wrapped up pair of shoes, etc., and roll the towel around it. Then place in a barrel bag. When you unroll your clothes, they will come out crease-free.
