How Many Bras and Panties Should I Pack for My Trip?

Let's have a look at some statistics before finding out how many bras and panties you need for a trip. 45 percent of women pack one pair of underwear for every day, plus a spare. 17 percent are overcautious and pack twice as many days on the trip. 8 percent are overly hygienic and pack as many pairs as they can. Statistics also show that 91 percent of women don't wear every item they take on a trip. On average, women take 36 items of clothing for a one-week trip, and they start packing at least three days ahead of travel. But still, 71 percent of women admit to adding extra items (just in case) before leaving for the trip. Which category do you belong to? In our previous blog posts, we wrote about how to pack bras for a trip. Now it's time to find out how many undergarments are essential for a trip. If you’re overpacking or simply don’t know the number of items to carry, don’t worry. We’ll simplify this for you.

How Many Bras and Panties Should You Carry?

Some women are happy with just 1 set of bras and panty per day (i.e., 3 bras and 3 panties for a 3-day trip), while others need twice the number for the same duration (i.e., 6 bras and 6 panties). Few women are happy with just two sets of bras and panties as they wash, dry, and reuse them. So, there isn’t a fixed number that works for all because it depends on the destination, the nature of travel, the duration, and the purpose of the trip. So, how many undergarments should you take? Ask yourself these questions before you pack your bras and panties.

1. What is the duration of your trip?
2. How many bras and panties do you wear, on average, in a day?
3. How many times during your trip are you willing to repeat your bras and panties?
4. Are you planning to go commando?

Here's a Simple Packing Rule:

For a weeklong trip, you'll need:

Item	Formula [No. of Days * Value]	Total Count
Panties	7*1	7
Bras	7*1.2	8
Workout Bra	7*0.28	2 (rounded off)
Workout Panty	7*0.42	3 (rounded off)

Does this work for you? Remember, the number of lingerie items depends on various factors, such as duration, type of activity, availability of laundry, and so on. Longer trips require more bras, as do trips that include one or more special events. If you want a detailed bra and panty packing guide, you can follow the checklist given below.

You can pack lingerie based on how often you change them and your tolerance for repeating lingerie to find the perfect number that works for you. Does this make sense? We all have a reputation for overpacking. So, follow the simple math to break the stereotype, carry less, and increase efficiency by packing lighter.
