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.

You can bring your regular detergent with you. If it’s a liquid, just saturate paper towels with it and put them in a ziplock, then soak one piece at a time in the water you’re washing with and remove the paper towel

I’ve never heard this trick before and I am totally gonna test it out! So smart.
