[Go] Useful to know about packing a suitcase
Suitcase packing tips
There is a lot of luggage that is necessary for traveling and business trips. In addition to clothes, underwear, and towels, women also need make-up tools and basic cosmetics, and men need razors and hair conditioners.
First of all, zippered plastic bags are a must-have item for clothes and towels. You can free up a lot of space by compressing your clothes and towels. Depending on the material, you may be concerned about wrinkles due to compression.
Wrapping your clothes in a furoshiki or tenugui and then compressing them will prevent wrinkles from forming. Women's underwear can be difficult to compress, so it's a good idea to pack them together with makeup tools and other items in a bag or laundry net. It's even better if you put socks etc. in the gap between your bra. Don't forget to put liquids such as lotion in a plastic bag to prevent them from spilling.
Also, it is convenient to use samples of lotions that you receive as free samples, as they are individually wrapped so you don't have to worry about them leaking. Men should also keep small items such as razors in one bag or pouch so they don't fall apart in the suitcase.
Also, refrain from bringing anything you don't know if you will use it. If necessary, consider purchasing locally to avoid adding to your luggage.
Make sure to pack according to your schedule
Packing your luggage neatly is important, but if you don't consider how to pack according to your schedule, you'll have a hard time unpacking your luggage when you're on a trip. And when the suitcase is unfolded, it will be visible to everyone around you. If you are traveling with friends, or if there are other people traveling with you, make sure to pack something that you don't mind seeing.
If you pack your clothes for each day and set them in front of you, you can quickly take them out, so you can start getting ready to change without stress. Also, if you put the makeup tools, shaving tools, etc. you use in the morning in a place where you can easily find them, you can save time by not having to look for them.
Furthermore, when thinking about packing that fits your schedule, you need to think about the combination of clothes. If you sweat in the summer, you may need to change clothes every day, but in the cooler months, for example, wearing pants or skirts for two days can reduce the amount of clothes you need to bring with you and help with packing.
It is also a good idea to wear thin clothes and choose thick outerwear. Alternatively, choose items that can be packed into a small size as winter clothing, so that when you want to put them in your suitcase, they will take up minimal space and are convenient to carry.
leave some space
If you fill your suitcase with your belongings, you won't be able to fit any souvenirs on your way home. Even if you don't think you'll buy many souvenirs, the souvenirs from your travels will captivate you. There may be something you can't help but buy.
Also, on the way home, laundry and dirty clothes take up space in your suitcase. Therefore, it is a good idea to have at least half, or at least a quarter, space in your suitcase for the trip. It also gives you peace of mind.
Clothes probably make up the majority of your suitcase, so if you want to improve your packing, think about clothes first. A special trick is to dispose of the clothes and underwear you've worn before heading home.
Some people use this technique to save space for souvenirs when traveling abroad for long periods of time. If you take clothes and underwear that you feel like, ``Maybe I should throw them away. I've used them a lot,'' and then dispose of them after wearing them for the last time on your trip, your luggage will be drastically reduced.
By the way, one option is to wash your clothes at a coin laundry, or use the hotel's laundry service if you have shirts, etc. This way, you can reduce the amount of clothes and underwear you need to prepare. Especially if you are staying for a long time, please choose clothes that are easy to dry and try washing them locally.
Packing is also important for a fun trip
When you travel, you feel excited, and when you go on a business trip, you feel restless and restless. When packing under such circumstances, you may end up forgetting something, packing more than necessary, or making preparations that you don't have enough time for.
You will need to pack the items you will use every day the day before or on the day of your trip, but prepare other items such as clothes in advance. If you are concerned about wrinkles in your clothes, you can just separate them into bags without compressing them. As a dry run, try packing everything and putting it in a suitcase to get a feel for it. It's fun to prepare and think about what would be better like this, like a puzzle.
We have introduced various ideas, but in addition, when you need to put your shoes in your suitcase, you can put them in a shower cap or stockings and put them in a shoe bag to prevent dirt. This will take up a lot of space, so you can make the most of it by rolling up your clothes and towels.
As you repeat packing over and over again, you'll come up with ideas of your own, which will serve as lessons for the next time.
Having more space in your suitcase means more peace of mind, so be sure to resolve any concerns you have about your suitcase before you leave so you can have fun or work at your destination.
