is getting intimate about her delicates.
The Black-ish alum made a shocking reveal while sharing exactly how much she packs on a trip.
'There's always one bathing suit, a flip flop and one little dress I can roll up,' Tracee, 52, said July 15 during Travel + Leisure's annual World's Best Summit in NYC, according to People. 'There's always two undies.'
But after fans took that information and ran with it on social media, she later clarified that she makes sure to pack two pairs in her carry-on—in addition to plenty more in her checked luggage.
"I am a habitual overpacker and I always check at least 4 bags with plenty of underwear," she wrote on her Instagram Stories. "Y'all need to quit it!! I ain't got time for this, I'm on vacation!"
Even so, she revealed that she typically hand washes her undergarments—including bras, swimsuits and panties—and allows them to air dry while traveling.
'If I'm gone for a month on this trip, you can't pack a month's worth of underwear,' Tracee explained. 'How do you do that? They take up a lot of space.'

The Pattern Beauty founder doubled down on her travel hack while giving fans a look into her solo trip to Paris.
'Hello, so I've been away for quite a while—I don't know it's been like two weeks,' Tracee told the camera in a July 15 TikTok as she wrung out black underwear into a sink. 'And I have a couple of delicates. How much underwear can you bring on a trip? So, it's a handwashing day in Paris. And I'm going to show you some of my hacks.'
First, she fills one sink with shower gel and her underwear and then scrubs them, 'like a washing machine,' before transferring them to another sink filled with cold water. She then washes each pair with a bar of soap, letting them rise and soak—as she alternates sinks—ending the first step by wringing them out.
In a follow-up video, the Girlfriends alum sat on a floor as she demonstrated the final step, placing all of the black undergarments on a towel, rolling it up, and standing on it, then hanging them on a towel rack to dry.
Sharing the hotel amenity that makes the process smoother, Tracee added, 'And in this fancy hotel, the towel rack is heated. So, it's going to dry quickly.'
And while Tracee—whose new Roku series Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross premieres July 25—loves sharing tips with the world, she embraces her alone time on vacation more.
'It's very important to me,' Tracee told Travel + Lesure in an interview published in 2023. 'Solo travel, in particular, is how I've come to know and honor myself.'
