2. One
word: Plastic. If you remember
only one word in your packing efforts, this is the one. And here's why:
friction causes wrinkling, plastic reduces friction. It's that easy. The best
way to utilize this basic plastic physics is with dry-cleaner bags. All hanger
items should be packed in individual bags (one outfit per dry-cleaner bag).
Clothes arrive in a perfectly preserved state. Really! Another great
plastic tip: zip-top baggies. Use these for dirty shoes, shampoo bottles, or
anything else you want to isolate from your good clothes.
3. Rolling,
rolling, rolling. You have two options for items
that you're not hanging: folding or rolling. Rolling is a great space-saving
and wrinkle-reducing choice for jeans and T-shirts. Here's how you do it: take
a pair of jeans and fold them lengthwise so that the legs are stacked on top of
each other. Now, starting from the cuff, roll your way up. For T-shirts, place
face down, fold arms back (you should now have a long rectangle), fold
lengthwise, and roll up.
4. Fold
it. For sweaters and other non-T tops,
the square fold is the way to go. Here's a quick primer: button all buttons and
lay shirts face down on a bed or flat surface. Smooth away wrinkles. Fold
material in at the shoulders and lay arms flat along the body so that you
create a roughly two-inch overlap of material on both sides. Now fold up a
third of the material from the bottom and overlap a third from the top. You
should now have a tidy package worthy of any chain retailer.
5. Delicate
situation. What to do with
your undies and lingerie? Buy inexpensive mesh laundry bags; they're made of
nylon and are lightweight. Stow your delicates in here. An added bonus: if your
bag is inspected, no one need touch your underwear since an inspector will be
able to see into the bag. Socks, by the way, should be rolled up and placed
inside shoes or used to fill gaps in your bag
6. Pack
it away. Now take all your tidily arrayed
garments and put them outside your bag. Your goal is to use them to create a
clothing jigsaw puzzle where no empty spaces remain and items won't shift. Lay
your bag flat and put folded clothes in piles down the center. Put your
toiletries kit at what will be the bottom of your bag when it's standing (this
should now be the heaviest item in your bag; in this position it won't crush
other items). Rolled clothes fit into the spaces around the stacked clothes.
Single shoes should be tucked into remaining openings (remember, shoes aren't
friends; they don't need to travel right up next to each other). Socks fill in
remaining holes. Voila! You are now a wrinkle-free savvy traveler!
