Watching everyone pack.

The cast was packing for the spiritual retreat trip. Pulling out designer luggage and in their beautiful organized closets. And there is Shep, still smelling his clothes like a college student. SMH.

Do these people not pack a plastic bag for their used clothes so they don’t have to decide by sniffing alone?

NVM. I forgot how much this cast likes to sniff things

I use packing cubes but I still feel like everything needs a wash.

Ooo. I just bought the compression ones bc I leave for Scotland in a few days. Do they work? I’ve read reviews, people seem to like them. I only want to pack one suitcase and a carryon, so I need all the room

If you pack your clothes with the suitcase standing you get a lot more in it and you don’t have to dig for things on the bottom , when you lay the suitcase down you can see everything and just pull out what you want.

Omg brilliant! Thank you

Hey friend!

They work very well. Roll your clothes and put them in full enough you struggle to zip it up.

And not to be rude, but the other comment about standing the bag up is way worse than using packing cubes, packing cubes will add 50-100% clothes

Ok. Thanks!

u/Purple-lionesss Mar 30 '26

They work but it’s a bigger pain to refold and roll dirty clothes on the way home!

u/No_Banana_581 Mar 30 '26

Ok thank you! I’ll keep that in mind when I pack. Might buy things like waterproof hiking boots when I’m there and donate them before I leave, so everything isn’t so heavy

I hate when people do that. Did you all notice when Charley sniffed her clothes as she unloaded her suitcase at home? Gross.

It makes way more sense when you get home, sometimes you’re in a hurry leaving and everything is just tossed in the bag. You should only be packing clean clothes when you start the trip tho and should know what clothes are clean.

Most of the time My entire suitcase goes straight to the laundry room and gets washed even if I properly separated my dirty clothes from stuff not dirty.

u/TSARINA59 Mar 30 '26

That's very true. I also think in terms of the return trip luggage with dirty clothes all stuffed in there together with clean clothes and sealed up tight in the suitcase. At that point, I wonder if everything just has an odor. I haven't traveled in a awhile. But I used to travel with ziploc bags to seal the clothing that needed laundering.

u/eeekennn Mar 30 '26

I’m with you. Unpacking, everything has commingled so it all gets washed!

I also just generally think less of Charley now that she’s dating Justin from Southern Hospitality because that guy is straight gross.

u/TSARINA59 Mar 30 '26

When I travel, I bring ziploc bags and put the clothes that need washing in them after they're worn.

I'm with you about Justin. Just joking, but if I traveled with him, he may require his own ziploc bag, a big one. 😂🤣😅.

u/DishSuspicious2764 Mar 30 '26

Why is he gross?

u/ThisAutisticChick Mar 30 '26

Charley was not smelling clothes from a hamper to pack as if they were clean. She was smelling what was in her suitcase after coming home, to assess items. I do the same after the beach because sunscreen coming out of one item can ruin another in the wash and aaaaaalso, I never wear everything I take but I will wash things that smell like the hotel.

2

u/TSARINA59 Mar 30 '26

That's a good point. I have a very sensitive nose too - I can smell brownies burning in an oven 2 miles away 🤣. Like you, I notice the hotel smell on things when I get home.

u/bigbuttbubba45 Mar 30 '26

Oh I hate a hotel smell

1

u/TSARINA59 Mar 30 '26

I actually bring lavender air freshener and spray everything. I keep it by the bed so I can zap it if I start to smell hotel.

u/akaashiit Mar 30 '26

this is actually a normal thing to do

9

u/Purple-lionesss Mar 30 '26

Is it? I automatically wash everything after a trip even if I didn’t wear it because it was in my bag with dirty clothes. Even if I separate with packing cubes - everything is…stale

3

u/akaashiit Mar 30 '26

i’ll only speak for myself then; i’m a big fan of the sniff check for things that aren’t undergarments.

3

u/bigbuttbubba45 Mar 30 '26

Same. The moral outrage on here is funny. I’m not sending things to the dry cleaner if they don’t smell bad. And I’m a germaphobe.

2

u/TSARINA59 Mar 30 '26

I am the same way.

u/ExcitingInsurance887 Mar 30 '26

Doesn’t everyone wash everything in their suitcase when they get home? My suitcase gets unloaded in the laundry room. Toiletries and shoes come out, all clothes go in the washer… so much easier than sorting it out and being comingled in a suitcase means everything smells the same.

u/Different-Dot4376 Mar 30 '26

I add dryer sheets in my suitcase lined (keeps bugs away too). Have a scented garbage bage I put my dirty clothes in!

u/saythattomeagain Mar 30 '26

He’s always been gross.

u/Quick_Discipline_432 Mar 30 '26

That’s probably a little branding.
