Stacey Solomon reveals bizarre £2 hack that stops your undies getting mixed up & her trick for saving ‘half a wardrobe’
SAVVY mum-of-five Stacey Solomon has shared a totally bizarre hack that will stop your knickers and bras getting tangled up in the drawers – and it costs just £2.
There’s nothing quite as annoying as trying to find spare undies in your drawers when you’re already running late – but now Sort Your Life Out presenter Stacey has come to rescue.
And although it may at first look absolutely bonkers, it works.
According to the cleanfluencer, who recently announced a huge TV gig with hubby Joe Swash, the answer is a plastic bag dispenser, which you can snap up from IKEA for as little as £2.
Sharing the game-changer of a hack with her six million fans on Instagram, Stacey revealed she was currently working on resetting her messy wardrobe.
”So, today I put my knickers in a plastic bag holder – cause I’m sick of my knickers, bras and socks getting all jumbled up in the drawer – so I’m separating them.”
In the short Instagram Story, the 35-year-old Loose Women panellist demonstrated followers how she chucked all of her knickers in one container.
Once that was full to the brim with the underwear essentials, the savvy TV star hung it in her wardrobe – meaning she now could find undies without any faff.
”Bras and socks are going in my bedside drawers and now every day I can just come up to this little thing and whack out a pair of knickers for the day – and then they cannot possibly get jumbled anymore.”
Whilst working on giving her wardrobe a more neat appearance, Stacey also shared that she had purchased special bag hangers that went directly onto the rail.
The mum-of-five explained: ”All my bags were on shelves just taking up the whole shelf – like four layers of shelves.
”So I thought if I hang them all in here that’ll save me loads of shelf space.
”I’ve put them next to my good going-out dresses,” said Stacey who was also planning to store all of her long boots right underneath.”
The former X Factor star, who appeared on the show in 2009, confessed that although millions of fans may turn to her for cleaning tips and tricks, sometimes life gets in the way – and even her house will be untidy at times.
”It’s so funny because every year I try to re-set. I’ve done it on here with you guys for three years and I’m still trying to find new ways to make things easier because no matter what a lived-in/busy household will always get messy and out of control.
”And you have to find ways that help you and work for your environment – and that changes all the time.”

Stacey wrote: “A new year. A very new adventure. Coming Spring 2025. We’ve been so nervous & excited to share this. Here is us. All of us.
“In 2024 we opened up our home & made a series about our lives, family, work & everything in between. It was a huge leap into the unknown & it’s been an absolute whirlwind making it. But last year as a family we decided to say yes to more & do things we’d never done.
The Sort Your Life Out host continued: “We have spoken about making a documentary for a long time, lots of you have asked too. So here we go.
“A journey with us every second of the way. Through the laughter the tears & the craziness… “
She then promised fans: “We hope it makes you smile, feel good & hopefully enjoy getting to know us all a little more.”
