What Panties Should I Pack for a New Year’s Vacation?
From Expert: Natalie
A few days before New Year’s, a customer came into the store with that familiar mix of excitement and indecision. She was heading off on a holiday trip - warm afternoons, city walks, a few dinners she’d planned outfits around - and she wanted to pack light without feeling unprepared. She paused for a moment, then asked the question we hear all the time: if she could only bring a few pairs of panties, which ones should they be?
I told her the same thing I tell most women in that situation. When you’re traveling, you don’t need options. You need the right pieces. There’s always one pair you end up wearing most - the one you reach for in the morning without thinking. That’s where I always start.
For everyday wear, I suggested the Journelle Estelle Cotton Hipster. It’s the kind of panty that disappears once you put it on. The cotton is soft and breathable, the fit feels easy, and it sits smoothly under jeans, skirts, and casual dresses. When you’re walking all day or moving from place to place, that kind of comfort matters. It’s not about how it looks in the drawer - it’s about how it feels twelve hours later.
Then we talked about evenings. Travel almost always includes a moment that calls for something different - a dress you packed with intention, a dinner reservation, a night when you want to feel polished rather than practical. For that, I recommended the Journelle Mae Thong. It’s beautifully made, with delicate lace and a cut that stays invisible under fitted clothing. A thong like this doesn’t just solve the problem of panty lines; it changes how you feel when you get dressed. You don’t need many pairs like it. You just need one that does the job well.
By the end of our conversation, her packing plan had become surprisingly simple. One comfortable, everyday panty she could rely on, and one elevated piece for nights when she wanted something more refined. No overpacking, no second-guessing — just underwear that worked with the way she planned to dress.
That’s usually the difference between packing more and packing smarter. When the foundation is right, everything else feels easier.
Expert Tip: Travel light, feel flawless: Pack one comfortable, seamless everyday panty and one beautiful lace thong. Together they cover all your daily and evening outfit needs without extra bulk in your suitcase.
