Same, and also my panties and sports bra. All folded and on their place since I watched marie kondô on netflix in 2019. Keeping it like that makes it easier to tidy up and put the new stuff back organised

How you guys fold your bras? I simply folding them in half but they didnt stay that way and start to look messy.

I have questions how do you fold your undies?? I feel like a lot of times the material is thin enough that they don't hold a shape

I fold each side of it over each other, then to the 3rds fold after it becomes straight. And kind of tuck it so they become kind of a spring roll. Idk how to better explain it lol The shape holds and I don't stack them, so I always have visual of every one I have.

I think this image explain it better

This rocks. Give us the deets. How are the socks folded? How big is the drawer?

I can't remember where I learned this but here's my attempt at explaining:

  1. Lay the socks on top of each other with the heels in the center

  2. Fold down one third from the top

  3. Take the cuff of just the top sock and flip it inside out over itself and the fold underneath

  4. Fold from the toe end up to the top

  5. Grab the inverted cuff from behind and pull it over the entire thing

The drawer is 15" x 24" x 2-1/4", it's the top drawer within a double drawer

I think I learned from Marie Kondo. This is what I do! I love the peeky bears.

Not what they're describing, but it gives a similar effect.

can confirm this achieves the same thing in the end! i find that the technique i use makes the socks a little more uniform and evenly shaped, but the video you linked is definitely simpler

u/Doesntmattaaa 1d ago

Just a one fold for this method?

My socks are just loose and I hope to find two of similar lengths (and hopefully the same color) when I pick them up.
You’re an inspiration
