This Sneaky Trick Will Help You Take More Clothes on Your Trip

Planning outfits for your next trip is heaps of fun. Figuring out how to fit them all into your luggage… not so much.

Clothes tend to take up a bunch of room in a suitcase, particularly if it’s winterwear. Sweaters, coats, and boots all take up massive amounts of space, leaving little capacity for anything else. There are a few options for what to do.

You could take an extra case. The downside of this, however, is that it can be fairly expensive to check in another bag and you have to lug it around with you on your trip. And worse comes to worst: the airline loses your luggage. Eeek!

Considering how many cons there are to this plan, it’s not our go-to.

There is, however, another way.

Every traveler needs a neck pillow when they fly. How else do you intend to get some shut-eye in those very uncomfortable seats? Well, there are now neck pillows that double as storage space, like the Tube Travel Neck Pillow or the Dot & Dot Twist Memory Foam Travel Neck Pillow. 

The nifty accessory is hollowed out, offering enough room to stuff it with any item of clothing you wish. Obviously, don’t put anything too hard as the pillow does serve the purpose of supporting your neck at the end of the day.
