Sun-seeker Jessica Sulima says there’s nothing worse than getting home, having a shower and realising all of your toiletries are still packed deep in the suitcase.

But there’s a simple way around this, she argues.

The trick is to unpack everything as soon as you step foot in the door.

Jessica wrote for travel website thrillst: “It’s my least favourite scenario: I get home from an exhausting trip, jump straight into my everything shower, and step out to do my skincare … only to realise that all of my beloved products are packed away in a toiletry bag.”

According to a viral TikTok, unpacking immediately is a psychopathic thing to do.

But to avoid the dreaded post-shower problem of being without toiletries, Jessica doesn’t care what people think.

She writes: “I understand that when you return home from a journey, the last thing you want to do is organise your belongings.

“But hear me out.

“If you extend your adventurous spirit for just one hour (I recommend setting a timer and turning it into a challenge) you can prevent a week’s worth of slow, unpacking agony.

“The way I see it, you’re coming back covered in the dreaded airplane smell, so you might as well break the sweat while you’re still smelly.”

One in three travellers admit they have no idea how to pack a suitcase efficiently

The short-term pain will lead to the long-term gain of a sound sleep and waking up the next day with everything stored in the right places, Jessica says.

Commenting on the viral TikTok, one social media user said: “Once my suitcase stayed packed two weeks.”

Another said: “I left my suitcase for a month.”

But Jessica argues letting the suitcase collect dust is admitting defeat.

She says: “Worst of all, as you navigate back and forth from suitcase to closet, you exist in this in-between state

“No longer in vacation mode, yet not quite back home, either.

“Face your fears head-on. Don’t settle for feeling unsettled.”

Some take things a step further.

A social media user seemingly petrified of airport germs said: “I disinfect my whole suitcase and wheels first lol then just throw clothes in washer!”
