HOW TO ORGANIZE UNDERWEAR

… including panties and boxers

If your dresser drawers are overflowing or jumbled, you’re likely wasting so much time looking for things and also damaging your clothes as they are being jammed and snagged in your drawers. So, we begin my series on clothing organization. Here I start with how to organize your underwear so they are no longer a jumbled mess and you can select the pair you need in a glance. And, did you know, you can also organize your spaces according to your organizing style? You can find out what your organizing style is here.

Before organizing your underwear, you must purge the underwear that you do not like and no longer use. Be ruthless and purge the excess so you can more easily store what you do need and use.

In my freebie library here, I include guides which help walk you through the organizing process and help you decide what to purge and keep. I also include my declutter and organizing challenge calendars and guides to help direct you through each area of your home. These guides ensure you get through every nook and cranny and finally get to the other side of clutter … an organized and functional space!

In this post, we focus on how to organize your underwear. Below, I share ideas on how to organize your underwear with different types of organizing solutions that will work for your organizing styles and spaces. I also share how to organize bras, socks, and camisoles.

Folding Techniques for Organizer-Free Drawer Organization

How to Organize Underwear in the Closet

In my first few apartments, I lived just fine without a dresser and contained all my clothing, including my underwear, in my closet. I had a closet organizing system that included drawers. For apartments that have the standard closet rod and shelf across the top, utilizing a hanging organizer like this creates drawer space for you (found here):

To maximize your closet space, you can use a hanging organizer like this (found here):

If you have a lower shelf in your closet which may sit underneath clothes hanging from the rod, you can set on it a drawer system like this (found here):

Under the Bed Organization

When space is super limited, you can resort to storing items in the area under the bed. An organizer like this one below can also be set on an upper closet shelf or even the floor of your closet (found here):
