Another option are the Ex-Officio undies they sell at REI. You can wash 'em in the sink and they dry in a couple of hours. Just remember to bring a sink plug, since hostels in most parts of the world don't have them. Now there’s a way to clear out your drawers, Traveljunkie!

Here's mine: take your oldest undies and then thrown them out as you go along. You can also add an old t-shirt or two to sleep in that you toss. I did that during a three-week trip in Europe. You lighten your load and clean out your drawers! Great tips, especially the gas tank one. Here’s mine: take your oldest undies and then thrown them out as you go along.

The next time I book a trip I'm going to do that; I'll also get "Thank You Points" by using Expedia and more Thank You Points by using a specific credit card. You can also book hotels and rent cars through cashback sites. I recently discovered you can book online through Expedia, Hotwire, et al. through a cashback web site.
