If you’re kitting out your holiday wardrobe using Shein, one TikTok user has claimed that you should hang onto the packets they come in for a helpful good reason. Laura, who goes by the username @Lifting.with.laura, shared her holiday packing hack on her TikTok page last summer – with many Shein shoppers claiming they’ll be doing the exact same this year.
Instead of folding clothes and trying to make space for every possible outfit she would need, Laura had one “genius” solution that meant she could fit an entire wardrobe into her suitcase easily. Each outfit was neatly packed away in a zip-up Shein package bag.
In the clip, she said: “You can shove [the packages] in and just push all the air out. It makes so much room.” In the caption, she explained: The best packing hack!!!!! I feel like an organised queen!!!!”
She continued: “This is a game changer and squishes your clothes together so you can fit more in.” During the video, she showed off how she’d sorted her clothes into categories, including pyjamas, shorts, dresses, and tops. In one pouch, she managed to stuff 12 swimwear sets.
After packing 11 Shein parcels worth of clothing in her case, Laura still had room to fit toiletries and other essentials for her trip. Many people in the comments were impressed by her ‘holiday packing hack’.
One said: “What a good idea!” Another added: “I always do this. Shein bags are great. I used to buy A4 zip folders before Shein came along!” A third wrote: “I’ve just dug out all my SHEIN bags for my holiday. This will be a game changer!”
Someone else suggested: “Could you not just use packing cubes? It’s basically the same thing.” Some leapt to Laura’s defence, adding: “The air holes make them easy to flatten on top of each other. No way you’d get that with packing cubes!”
A fifth asked: “Do they not get really creased?” Laura responded: “No because they are rolled up just like they would be in my case – if anything it’s better because it keeps them together.”
There was another person in the comments that offered a great use for your bags once you arrive on holiday too. They said: “SHEIN bags are also fab for keeping stuff dry in your beach bag/ pool bag! Love them!”
Someone else replied: “Wow! I need to stop throwing mine away.” They added: “Who knew they could be so useful!”
Most Shein orders come inside one of these bags, so it’s worth stocking up to get your money’s worth. Alternatively, you could buy similar ziplock bags yourself from places like Amazon if you don’t shop from Shein.
