What size duffel bag are you using?

I used a US Navy sea bag, but you don't need one that large.

 

Why do you need a duffel bag? A plastic trash bag works just as well. It is lighter, easier to handle...

 

Don't take a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of bath soap.
Just take the shampoo; wash your hair and your body with shampoo.
I get this at Sam's Club. Couple of tablespoons will wash the hair and whole body and the wash cloth will still be sudsy.

 

Honestly just find one that fits your clothes you're going to put in it. Different clothes take up different amounts of space. I basically own and wear 0 shorts. All canvas pants. They take up significantly more room than basketball shorts. Get what you need. Not what others need.

I stay out 3-6 weeks at a time. I can fit 7 days of clothes. I can squeeze a bottle of shampoo in as well, just make sure you wrap it up in something waterproof in case it opens.

This bag also comes in small if you want to bring toiletries and other odds and ends

It's amazing how much you can pack in one bag if you roll your clothes. I learned this late in life.

 

Roll on duffle and a backpack laundry bag.

 

I always used an army duffel bag. Can find them at army Navy stores and they're tough and cheap. And then for the dirty laundry I used a meth type bag.

A meth type bag is certainly what I think of when I find myself at a Laundromat.
