Completed and area looks great
Our group decisions are as follows:
Empty your underwear drawer.
Discard tatty, uncomfortable or ill-fitting underwear.
Use inexpensive drawer dividers to give everything a place. Group underwear by type (brief, bikini, thong). Fold bras one cup into the other, so cups keep their shape & take up less space.
Trouser socks plus nylons & stockings place in snag-preventing zip-seal bags.
Our group has recommended the following: So here are the steps:
1. Empty out everything
2. Wipe out the drawer
3. Remove anything with holes or you no longer use
4. Sort all remaining items into like piles
5. Find an organizer that fits the needs of the remaining items
Tips:
Fold or roll socks instead of turning one inside the other. This helps with extending the length of the sock by not having the elastic stretched out (beside it looks pretty).
Remember the 80/20 rule? You wear 20% of your stuff 80% of the time. This is true on socks and underwear, pick out the ones that you wear, and get rid of the rest.
Sort the socks into colors or types. If you have trouble determining between black and navy, make sure you keep those on opposite sides of the drawer.

Goodbye, too short camis and nasty undies! Adios, excessive amounts of socks! OCI-OGO from here on out!!
After completeing this task I realise I need to stop buying new underwear for some time, embarassed by how much I have. But now it is neat and all tatty items gone.
Pretty underwear drawers now! Yay!
Yay I finished this. I always do the challenges late at night after I put my baby to bed and I’m always exhausted but I am glad that I am decluttering, sometimes I just feel like there is no end in sight and that every single part of my house needs work!! But I am really thankful for these challenges!!
yep!
Not underwear, but I bought shower curtain rings at the dollar store today to try putting all my tank tops onto one hanger – wish me luck!
I’m so far behind. I think today will be home office day. Unfortunately I don’t have a home office – I use the dining table. So, I need a way I can put things away and get them back out with minimal issues.
