I worry about losing my luggage when I fly.
A girl who wears small sizes can just nip to a local shop at her destination and pick up a cheap set of new underwear, swimwear, jeans/shorts & t-shirt to tide her over.
It's hard enough sourcing nice clothes that fit in my home country, living in the capital & with the internet at my disposal, let alone on an island in Thailand or up a mountain in Peru. There's no way I'd find a bra or a swimming costume or a pair of jeans that fit in a holiday resort (unless possibly it was in the USA or Tonga!), and I'm "only" a size 20 so it's not even that big an ask, you'd think.
So I always pack those things in my hand luggage. I've never lost my luggage yet but one day it's gonna happen and I don't want my holiday ruined by feeling like a freak because I can't find anything to wear.
