In a video shared on TikTok by @melaniethetravelgirl, the organisation whizz assured her followers they’d never have to sacrifice another outfit.

She said: “Everyone claims they have the best packing method.

“So let’s test them out to figure out which one really gives you the most space.”

The first trial involved folding her clothes in the traditional fashion.

“Not much room to dig around and see what you got in there, but we got it all in,” Melanie concluded.

Next up was the “tightly rolled” technique.

Melanie commented: “I’ll be honest this one’s not my favourite, I don’t even know if I’m doing this right.

“I’m trying to tightly roll them, packing shouldn’t be this hard.

“This has got to take exponentially longer than just throwing them in the suitcase.”

Overall Melanie disapproved of this packing trick as “space saving super minimal”.

The third technique the travel expert tried out was using compression packing cubes.

She said: “It’s not easy trying to zip these, this is a work out.

“Overall, that might have been more work than the rolling method.

“But, it did save me a significant amount of space. I have an entire area now where I can fit a toiletry bag.

“So, the traditional stacking wins for the easiest packing method, but the compression packing cubes definitely wins for space saving.”

This comes as others have shared their top travel hacks.
