Often the underwear compartments are randomly littered with small accessories mixed with socks and swimsuits. It is difficult to find the right item of clothing in a drawer; in deep shelves it is impossible to get one item of laundry without touching the adjacent stack. If there is no proper organization of space in the wardrobe, the wardrobe elements look untidy and wrinkled.
To your closet in order , you can use various methods for storing things, for example, Japanese.
Organizing your closet saves time searching for clothes
Methods for storing underwear in the closet
Underwear can be stored both on a closet shelf and in a chest of drawers. In most cases, wardrobes are equipped with drawers for storing clothes and small accessories. You can organize the space in sections using organizers. Such devices are sold ready-made. You can also make them yourself.
If there are no drawers
If you don't have a box, you can use empty shoe boxes. They help you sort accessories by type. Lace fabrics, textured wallpaper, and other available materials are suitable for decorating the lid.
Boxes from other things are also suitable for storing laundry
Special organizers
Organizers are ready-made structures made of plastic, thick cardboard, covered with fabric. The number of storage compartments is one or many small compartments, depending on the purpose. Bras and panties are compactly placed in the cells.

Cardboard packaging from underwear orders
High-quality underwear is always sold in tight boxes. After the next purchase of a new set of packaging, it is better not to throw it away. You can store tights, a belt and stocking holders, and boudoir accessories in them.

Perfect option:
- Enough space in a chest of drawers or closet + division into sections, large or small.
- We place frequently used items closer to the front of the drawer. Those that are rare are further along.
- We pack velvet items and those that can easily be damaged by friction in individual packages.
- We do not leave underwear in the light.
- Throw away items that have lost their appearance and functionality to make room for new ones.
- If you have a lot of space, you can leave the kits in individual packages. This will make them easier to find.
Ways to compactly fold underwear
To save space, different techniques for folding panties are used: in a tube, in a square, in a roll, in a pocket.
A tube (roll)
The panties are placed on a flat surface, folded in half so that the bottom line is located at the level of the top elastic band. In a horizontal direction, you need to roll the laundry into a tube.
Square
On the front side, the surface of the panties is figuratively divided into three vertical parts of the same size. The left and right ones bend inward. The resulting rectangle is folded 1–2 times.
Roll
The KonMari method (the name of the Japanese method of storing things from Marie Kondo) is presented with visual recommendations not only on how to organize underwear, but also how to compactly fold bed linen in a closet.
To form a roll of women's panties, you will need to place the item of clothing with the right side up. The upper elastic band is folded in the opposite direction 2-3 times. It is necessary to turn the swimming trunks face down, bend the sides towards the center. The bottom edge is folded in at the same level as the top. The resulting roll is turned inside out three times.
In your pocket
The side parts are wrapped in the center. The bottom edge is folded up to the middle of the panties. Through the hole between the upper elastic bands, the underwear is turned inside out, forming a pocket.

Hangers
A long dress made of wet silk, a lace robe, a bad jacket - these things are hanging on my hangers.
Important: you should hang on hangers only those things that do not become deformed from such storage.

If you decide to hang your laundry on a hanger, then the best option for this is hangers upholstered in fabric or smooth metal. Or like mine, with velvet application.
Hangers upholstered with fabric
These will definitely not damage delicate fabric and will not tighten, unlike wooden or cheap plastic ones.
Some of my underwear, by the way, came with plastic hangers. I don't throw them away, but I don't use them either.
In case of capricious delicate material, I advise you to add a cover to the hanger.
If there is very little space in the closet, a special accessory that hooks hangers one after another will help.
Is it possible to store dirty laundry with clean laundry?
The question of whether it is possible to store dirty and clean laundry on the same shelf arises when there is not enough space to accommodate a laundry room, when the bathroom is small and inconvenient. No matter how cramped the home, it is unacceptable to store dirty and washed things together.
If there is not enough space, dirty laundry can be kept in a small plastic container. Metal mesh baskets and folding containers are suitable for storage. Baskets made of wicker and rattan are in demand among lovers of eco style. The main thing is that such products are ventilated.
Proper storage is the key to the quality and aesthetics of linen, saving time. There are many ways to place things, everyone is free to choose an acceptable option based on convenience, financial capabilities, and interior features.

It’s difficult to immediately find the right thing without destroying the entire drawer.

How to store bras
Lingerie is not limited to panties. Questions about bras are often asked. They deteriorate if stored incorrectly - they stretch out, the cups lose their shape, the straps become elastic. Hooks can damage nearby T-shirts and knitted sweaters.
It is better to lay out laundry in sections. Velvet and other items that require delicate care are packaged individually. Do not leave clothes in direct sunlight.
On hangers
It is recommended to place bras on separate hangers. Such organization of space for bras allows you to quickly find the desired model, easily get things out without damaging adjacent underwear.
Cup in a cup
Bras can be arranged one after the other in two ways - cup in cup or underwire to underwire. This placement saves space.
Advice!
Push-up underwear is stored flat. When folded, the cups become deformed and lose their original shape.
If possible, you need to allocate a separate locker for bras. And they should be stored directly on special transparent hangers for underwear. Such storage is not only convenient, but also makes it possible to place different models side by side.
If this is not possible, then you can store bras in separate chest drawers or closet shelves. For convenience, you can put special drawers or organizers on the shelves. Folding the bras, cup to cup, one after another, ensures not only safety and practicality, but also beautiful storage.
Ways to store bras:
- boxes . They are installed on shelves. Bras are laid vertically or horizontally;
- organizers with cells . The bra cups are folded together. The recess is filled with straps. The packages are distributed into pockets;
- trunks _ Special organizers with wide cells. A straightened bra is placed in each pocket.
The choice depends on the models used. Foam cups are easy to wrinkle and lose their shape. We recommend trunks, spacious boxes. Bras with soft cups can be folded compactly and placed in the cells of a regular organizer.
