Travel Essentials: 6 Key Lingerie Items To Take With You
Whether you’ve got a serious case of wanderlust or just like to dabble in the odd bit of travel, getting out there and seeing the world is an awesome pastime. While you’re skipping from country to country or city to city, you need to make sure that you have all the right things packed in your bag. Here are just six lingerie essentials you mustn’t forget!
1. Convertible Bra

One of the biggest problems with traveling is that you need to fit all your stuff in a small space. That means that you may not have much room in your suitcase at all. In that case, you’re going to need to choose a multipurpose bra for every occasion. The convertible bra is just that (and a whole lot more!).
The truly refreshing thing about this particular piece of lingerie is that you can wear it for pretty much any occasion. Whether you need a casual, yet supportive bra or a strapless number, this is the one for you. You can take one strap off or even both to give a totally new effect to the piece. As if that weren’t enough, you can criss-cross the straps to ensure that the bra goes with any outfit you take.
2. Swimsuit

You never know when a swimming opportunity may arise. Let’s say you’re heading on vacay – there could easily be a pool or the sea waiting for you there. Even if you’re not going somewhere tropical, you should still pack a swimsuit. Many hotels have spa areas where you can enjoy a quick steam or even a relaxing time in the hot tub. Should you turn up without a swimsuit, you will be sorely disappointed and end up missing out.
Take a piece that makes you feel utterly confident which is also practical. Remember, the suit has to be fit for purpose. You need to be able to wear it to swim in (of course!) and to relax around the pool area in. There are loads of beautiful suits out there so take your pick.

3. Mesh Lingerie Bag
Of course, if you’re going away for more than a couple of days, you may need to wash your lingerie. The last thing you want is to ruin it so you should take a mesh wash bag. The bag will protect your delicates when you put them in the machine, which is a huge help. What’s more, you can actually use the bag to pack your lingerie in when you travel too. That way, you can keep it separate from the rest of your belongings in your case. Easy.
4. Boyshorts

Comfort is everything when you’re traveling. You may want to take boyshorts with you in your case, but you could also wear them on your journey. The truly brilliant thing about these types of brief is that they are cozy, elegant, and comfortable. You will look wonderful in them while also feeling as snug as a bug in a rug. It really makes perfect sense.
You will, of course, want to take a few different pairs of briefs with you, but just make sure that there are some of this style in there. Moving from place to place can be hard (not to mention tiring!) enough without having to be uncomfortable. Keep that in mind, and you should be absolutely fine.
5. Highwaist Briefs (or a few pairs of your favorite underwear)

While you’ll have already packed some boyshorts, you will need a different style of briefs ready to wear. Why not pack a few high waisted panties? These type of briefs are ideal for most situations, especially if you happen to be wearing a tight fitted skirt or the like. You don’t want the line of your briefs to be visible, but if you choose the right ones, they won’t. There are loads of different styles and colors out there so it’s just about choosing one of them that suits your own fun personality. Go ahead and go a little wild here!

6. Your Favorite Bra

If you have a killer outfit that needs a plunge bra or push-up bra, don’t you forget to take it with you! While a convertible piece can suit most outfits, some outfits require a different style. You likely have an outfit in mind as you’re reading this. It may be that saucy little black dress or your favorite jumpsuit. Whatever it is, it’s the one that makes you look so incredible that you can hardly stand it.
The key to good packing is… you guessed it… planning. Rather than just throwing a whole bunch of stuff into your suitcase, you’re going to want to make sure that you think about what you need. It doesn’t have to be as hard as it sounds. Just plan out different outfits and make sure that you have the right lingerie to match. Voilà!
