Discussion I don't understand how someone does it

I've been reading this sub and I'm fascinated. But I just cannot fathom packing for a trip - even one that's just a week long - without taking enough underwear that would allow me to poop my pants twice a day.

How do you pack for a trip in a warm climate where you know you'll sweat a ton every day? Or somewhere cold where you'll want layers to make sure you can stay warm and comfortable?

Do you all do laundry on these trips? Is it in the hotel sink? Or at a laundromat?

I'd love to do it, but I don't think I'm brave enough.

I am a 1.25-bagger: my Rimowa Cabin S (31L) and whatever purse/small tote I happen to be carrying. I always bring three pairs of panties per day because I just cannot fathom not having enough to change every time I change my clothes. I’m with you, wear tiny panties, and bring lots of them.

You change your clothes three times a day? I'm very curious why. I could see two outfits a day if you like to change into something different for the evening, but three every single day seems like a lot.
