Welcome to the 30-Day Organize-athon!
In today’s 5 minutes we’re going to organize your um, delicates.
OK go!
Day 16: Organize Your Underwear
Step 1: Empty your underwear drawer.
Step 2: Collect only those items that:
- You wear; and
- Are in good condition; and
- Make you feel good.
Step 3: Arrange these items in your underwear drawer, keeping:
- Similar items together – eg sports bras in one pile
- Most frequently used items in the most accessible locations – eg special-occasion lingerie can go toward the back of the drawer.
Step 4: Throw into the trash all discarded underwear – decrepit, discolored and demoralizing alike.
And you’re done!
Got an Extra 5 Minutes?
Let’s take stock of your underwear requirements. (Boys, you get a pass on this one. )
Check your closet and determine whether you need any additional underwear in order to make the most of your clothes, eg:
- Strapless bra
- Racer back bra
- T-shirt bra
- Nude bra
- Shapewear
- Thong or boy-leg brief (to avoid visible panty line).
Now isn’t that refreshing?

My underwear drawer was fine, so I did my pantyhose/slip drawer instead just before I went to bed. So I did it yesterday, but am posting today.
That one was easy! All done.
Done. Much easier than yesterdays!
Done!
done 🙂
Completed late last night! Yay!
I also switched out winter undies and summer undies along with the cleanup.

My Mum came and stayed with me for a bit last year and she said that after seeing all the colours I had in my underwear that she was going to start buying colours too. She said that she had only been buying skin tone underwear for years because she didn’t have to think about what colour needed to be under particular outfits.
I find that having different colours of lace etc to choose from makes me feel feminine ♥ (and a little bit sexy) LOL
Maybe just buy 1 knickers and bra in a pretty colour to wear on those days that you maybe don’t feel like a goddess 🙂 They just might make you feel like one.
People actually have more than one type of underpants or bras? Obviously this was not meant for me. Underpants, all the same brand, style, and color. Bras, pretty much the same deal except they didn’t have enough white bras so one is beige. I have a couple bras that fit in the summer and fall as I tend to be at a lower weight an apparently it all comes off my breasts as there is no size change anywhere else!
Done! That was easy. Now I just have to go shopping
Done
I have done all the tasks since day 1, but I have enjoyed this one the most. Now I HAVE to face up to the fact that there is not much wearable in my underwear drawer. I did not want to loose my pretty things even tho they did not fit me. But, needs must. I will have to save for new stuff but I was not wearing the others anyway, so there is not really a loss.
Done!
I just did this so I tackled the sock draw. So glad its finally done. Thanks for the push.@
Undies neatly bundled.
Done.
Done-
Done…all organized into a sorter so that they are not in a pile too.
DONE! even the simple jobs feel great to get done!
This was very timely. My underwear situation is pretty woeful. Cleared out and made a list in under 5 minutes.
