17 Things To Keep Your Clothes Properly Organized Rather Than Stacked On An Ottoman
1. A durable 🐝 honeycomb drawer insert 🐝 to bring some semblance of organization to the chaos that has become your sock drawers. Don't let your mom, who tends to open all of your drawers without prompting, get disappointed at the sight of that unseemly pile of undies — these tiny compartments are perfect for keeping everything in its place!
The pieces just *snap* together for easy assembly, and the design expands to fit whatever size drawer you have.
Promising review:"Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, but...it's totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find...wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." — Brigette
Get it from Amazon for $9.71.
2. OR a sock, bra, and underwear organizer set so your stuff has a home rather than just being tossed haphazardly in the drawer (or worse, on the ottoman or chair in your room). These organizers are soft and can hold a variety of things so you'll be able to neatly store even the most complex lingerie. Organizational excellence? Absolute perfection.
It comes with four sets in different dimensions so they can hold different size garments.
Promising review:"I hemmed and hawed over this while it spent months on my wish list. My top dresser drawer was full to the brim with bras, undies, socks, and tights and I kept using the same few items that were always on top. I was afraid not all my undergarments would fit but finally, I had little choice and ordered this in pink. Oh my! I'm in LOVE! I feel like one of those uber-organized TikTok moms every time I pull the drawer open. Super easy to set up and fill. If you have too many socks or tights or undies, each well can fit more than one on top of each other. The included pieces fit perfectly in a standard tall bureau which I had been concerned about. Take the plunge; you'll be super glad you did!" — Chrissquasi
Get it from Amazon for $13.47 (available in seven colors).
3. Shelf dividers because you're tired of the uneven pile of clothes that wobble on your closet shelves. Don't risk the stack of jeans toppling every time you try to withdraw one from the Leaning Tower of Denim — just use these dividers to keep your folded clothes stacked high and neat!
Amazon
There's absolutely no installation required, this puppy simply slides right onto the shelves!
Promising review:"Cannot believe I lived without these. These are seriously amazing! I cannot believe I waited so long to buy these and get my closet in order.

Promising review:"These are so clever and versatile! I live in an old house with tiny closets so I have to get creative. These are great because they can be used hanging horizontally or vertically.

www.amazon.com
Promising review: "These things are HUGE. I was able to fit a comforter and a sheet set in one. In another I packed all of our summer stuff: swimsuits, coverups, and like 10 beach towels. They haven't lost any suction yet and they've allowed us a LOT more space in our hall closet. I think next time I'll buy one size smaller." — Sarah Wuest
Get a pack of five medium bags from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four sizes and various multipacks).
6. Or slim, compact storage bins you can slip under the bed or stack wayyy up high and out of reach at the top of your closet.

Plus, it has a transparent top, so you can check what's inside at a glance!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:" This item is pricier than the other options, but if you want something that will do the job and last, stop looking and just purchase this. There are plastic structures built into the sides, and plastic bases that you can easily pop in and out, so you feel comfortable stacking them even if one may not be full. These things fit quite a few of my bulkiest jackets and then some. I'm very pleased with this product!" — Iona C.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors and a slimmer size).
7. A 50-pack of super-slim velvet hangers to keep your closet looking beautiful and uniform.

PLUS, all the hangers match and look incredibly visually appealing.
Promising review:"These hangers do all the work for me. I was finally inspired to rid myself of flimsy, tacky dry cleaner hangers and bulky plastic ones — I'd have to size up my clothes in order to determine which ones wouldn't slide off the plastic. With these hangers, everything works, and the velvet is like an easy-to-use magnet for my clothes. Nothing slips. The space-saving design makes a surprising difference. I share a small master closet, and thanks to these hangers, my side is roomy and organized now." — E. Marshall

Promising review:"It's beautiful, I love it!! I bought this shoe holder to replace the shoe holder I currently have. It's much like this one, except it was flimsier and has fewer pocket holes. I love the feel and texture of this one! The canvas feels very sturdy, and the color is beautiful too! I also have three extra cubbies for shoes that I didn't expect! The base is fantastic because the boards are sewn into the fabric with seams, which is a sign of high quality! The height and width are great, too, because I can fit my heels in here. I just organized them like you would in a shoe box, lying down, and they fit perfectly!! Definitely recommend this to anyone who is willing to pay a little extra $$ for something of high quality. Well worth it!" — Auriel44

Promising review:"I put these in my closet to make extra shelves for sweaters/sweatshirts. They were easy to assemble and worked great at adding additional space to my closet.

I'm very happy with this purchase." — Goldensummerdog
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

www.amazon.com
Reviewers said it's especially helpful for kids' closets because their clothes are so small and don't take up much hanging space vertically. The horizontal bar can expand from 18 inches to the max 30 inches, and the hanging height can be adjusted by 1-inch increments.
Promising review:"This product is amazing. My kiddos are going to share a closet and this was the easiest way to get all of their things in there together. It doubled the hanging space, and I was able to hang my daughter's things and move my son's items to the bottom hanging addition. How low you want it to hang is adjustable so it could go even lower if you had adult-size clothing to hang. Would definitely purchase again." — Jeanette Fite
Get it from Amazon for $17.87+ (available in three colors).
13. A tank top and bra hanger so your fave lingerie can be properly organized and visible. No need to rifle through your things to find that tank top you need. Plus, this can help them be protected from the wrinkles and folds caused by the haphazard way they are tossed into your drawer.

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in black or chrome and in multipacks).
14. A hangable T-shirt organizer for those of you who own more T-shirts than you could possibly fit into your closet or dresser. Just hang this rack inside your closet so you never have to worry about a pile of shirts stacking up on your ottoman, all because you simply have no place to put them.

16. Expandable drawer dividers that will save your drawers from becoming a discombobulated mess of random clothing. They're easy to install and can be adjusted to the size of your drawer, so you never again have to dig through piles of T-shirts in search of your favorite button-up.
www.amazon.com
These expand up to 17 inches long and have foam pads that both protect and grip the drawer walls!
Promising review:"I will never be a person who folds underwear. It's never going to happen. That photo that comes with this product? Not me. But a simple tool like this turned out to be what it takes just to know where things are. Left. Center. Middle. Any organizer made of cloth was out. I wanted something rigid but adjustable. If an organizer has soft sides, it's going to end up underneath the things it's supposed to be separating. These fit firmly where I put them, and there are no corners to snag clothing or hurt your hand on when you reach into the drawer. It's a well-engineered product. I created three sections to my large top dresser drawer by adding the partitions from front to back. I am so pleased with the difference that I am ordering two more sets so I can do my other drawers. These Oxo dividers cost more than the flimsy ones, but if I wasn't able to buy these, I would just not buy organizers." — SeattleBookMama
Get the two-pack from Amazon for $22.95.
17. A laundry folding board because your folding skills leave much to be desired, and this board will leave all your shirts looking incredibly neat and organized so you're not spending the entirety of spring trying to fold properly. It makes folding a much easier task — a feat so genius Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper would be proud.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out, and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use, and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has, and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" — Kayli

What Would Actually Happen If You Tried to Open the Airplane Emergency Door Mid-flight?
The most important thing in the exit row on a plane isn't the extra legroom—it's the emergency door. These doors are strategically located throughout the aircraft so that passengers can easily evacuate, regardless of whether they're in first class or the last row. The Airbus A380—the world's largest commercial aircraft—has 16 emergency doors. That's approximately one for every 50 passengers. While part of the flight attendant safety speech includes pointing out where the nearest emergency doors can be found, it doesn't include the answer to one burning question. What happens if you try to open the emergency door mid-flight? If you ask American Airlines First Officer Steve Scheibner, nothing would happen if you tried to open the door—because you can't open the emergency door mid-flight. Unless you're capable of lifting 25,000 pounds, it's physically impossible. 'Once this door gets pressurized in flight, it's nine pounds per square inch,' says Scheibner, who goes by Captain Steeeve on TikTok where he has more than 380,000 followers. Another pilot-turned-social media sensation explains it further on YouTube: 'We pressurize our aircraft to a lower altitude so that you guys can breathe,' says Pilot PascalKlr. 'The inside pressure pushes the door in its frame.' Scientists liken it to how a drain plug works. Given the small size of sink and bath drains, it takes a substantial amount of effort to pick them up. Also, most emergency exit doors on planes open inwards. Still, physics isn't the only thing keeping emergency doors closed during flights. On most commercial aircraft, all cabin doors automatically lock once the plane has reached a certain speed. According to Scheibner, it's approximately 80 knots (92 miles per hour). They can't be manually unlocked until the plane slows down again. Obviously, these locks weren't customary back in 1971 when the infamous 'D.B. Cooper' parachuted out of a Boeing 727's rear door with $200,000 in cash somewhere over southeastern Washington. In fact, because hijacking passenger planes was common in the late '60s and early '70s, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amended their safety regulations in 1972 and started requiring large passenger aircraft exits to be designed so that they can't be opened during flight. Exit sign in an airplane. Margot Cavin/Travel + Leisure Even though it's not possible to open an emergency door mid-flight, people have tried. In fact, every year passengers make headlines for trying to do so. A few weeks ago, an All Nippon Airways flight from Tokyo to Houston was diverted to Seattle after an unruly passenger kept trying to open the emergency doors. Cabin crew and fellow passengers managed to restrain him using zip ties. Upon landing in Seattle, the passenger was handed over to the local police and FBI. And when an American Airlines passenger on a flight from Albuquerque to Chicago tried to open an emergency door 20 minutes into their flight last year, the plane returned to Albuquerque where law enforcement was waiting. If the plane isn't far from its final destination, it will usually try to land there. That's what happened on another American Airlines flight in 2024 when a passenger flying from Milwaukee to Dallas attempted to open an emergency door mid-flight. A flight attendant was injured in the process, and the man was charged with a federal crime. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison. At the very least, trying to open an emergency door mid-flight is a great way to get yourself on the dreaded no-fly list. While most passengers who try to open emergency doors fail, at least one appears to have succeeded. In 2023, a passenger on an Asiana flight about to land in Daegu, South Korea allegedly opened the emergency door he was sitting next to. The plane was more than 700 feet off the ground at the time. While the plane was able to safely land, and no one was seriously injured, 12 people went to the hospital and were treated for hyperventilation. 'The wind was stinging my legs and hitting my face so hard I couldn't even breathe properly,' the passenger sitting next to him recalled in an interview with CNN. Asiana immediately launched an investigation to see how the door was able to be opened. It also issued a statement saying it would stop selling certain exit row seats on its Airbus A321-200 aircraft. But this doesn't exactly mean that sitting next to an emergency door is dangerous. On the contrary, some experts say the exit row boasts the safest seats on the plane. 'If there was a seat that was safer, being close to an emergency exit increases the chance of getting out quicker,' Cary Grant, an assistant professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's College of Aviation, previously told T+L.

Golden Retriever Greets Visitor—What Cam Captures Next Leaves Owner Stunned
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A man greeted by his uncle's dog couldn't believe what the Ring camera captured just moments after he arrived. Jacob Aguilar told Newsweek via TikTok that he was visiting his uncle after coming back from Hawaii to catch up and share stories from his trip. When he arrived, his uncle's golden retriever, Cubs, was the first one to greet him at the door. In his June 6 video posted to his TikTok account, @_jacoboooo, the dog walked out the door and sniffed Aguilar with excitement; she loved having visitors. When Cubs went into the driveway to check for others, Aguilar handed his uncle an item and the two started making their way inside. Aguilar quickly glanced back and thought the dog snuck back inside, prompting him to close the door behind him. However, the Ring camera revealed she didn't go back inside. The Ring camera showed Cubs flabbergasted that they would close the door in her face. She paused and stared at the door before running up to do a sniff test, which confirmed her disbelief. Cubs looked back to see if someone else might've been outside, but when no one turned up, she ran back to the front door. "We hadn't realized until my aunt pointed out, 'Where is Cubs!?'" Aguilar said. "She then checked the Ring camera and noticed she was waiting outside the front door." Cubs never barked to alert the family she was outside. Instead, she waited patiently because she knew they'd realize soon enough. Aguilar called her a "good and well-behaved doggie." "Both me and my uncle were in shock because we both thought she went back inside!" he said. Feeling horrible about the mistake, Aguilar said he "...made it up to her with lots of pets and love." Screenshot from a June 6 TikTok video of a golden retriever greeting a guest and being stunned when they accidentally closed the door on her.

A third user wrote: "That'll be her last time greeting you like that." And a fourth pointed out: "You even looked back!!!" which Aguilar replied: "I peeked and thought she went in on the other side."

Jupiter in Cancer Wants You to Redefine What Family Really Means
Feeling a tug on your apron strings? A collective shift is coming today, June 9, as adventurous Jupiter sails into Cancer, the sign of women, home, and families. Jupiter spends approximately 12-13 months in each zodiac sign, blessing us with yearlong cycles in which to stretch, grow, and find our fortune. Even better? Caring, intuitive Cancer is Jupiter's happiest place in the zodiac, its 'exalted' position in astro-speak. Nevertheless, there's an odd balance to strike between Jupiter's nomadic urges and Cancer's nesting instincts. Jupiter is the free spirit; Cancer, the nurturing mother. The way we 'do' family life could change in unpredictable ways between now and June 30, 2026. With conservatism on the rise among Gen Z, there might be a growing focus on the nuclear family. Population decline has become an existential worry—and an actual concern—in recent years. Hyperbolic Jupiter could drum up global worries about the extinction of the human race. And in Cancer, 'more is more' Jupiter could usher in a modern-day baby boom, at least for those who have the means to feed extra mouths. Here's a fascinating fact: Louise Brown became the first baby born by IVF on July 25, 1978, when—you guessed it—Jupiter was in Cancer. But baby fever could also feel equally dystopian. In the United States, fed-up tradwives have been quietly finding each other on TikTok, forming support groups in private chats and banding together to escape the oppressive lifestyle. Plus, without greater protections for reproductive rights, Jupiter in Cancer may struggle to deliver much of a baby boom in the United States. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, simply becoming pregnant has brought increased risk for some people, as miscarriages and stillbirths have led to a handful of criminal cases in select states. Simultaneously, social programs for families, like SNAP benefits and Head Start, are under threat. How do you afford a child, even if you want one? That struggle is sure to be a hot topic in the zeitgeist with Jupiter in Cancer. And despite the swing toward conservatism, heteronormative marriage could undergo a reputational reckoning. With Jupiter heading into Cancer, we may see more people cohabitating, consciously uncoupling, or skipping the whole 'white dress and mortgage' narrative altogether. Family will be redefined on our own terms. Regardless of your kid count, Jupiter in Cancer revs up the collective's maternal instincts. How do we care for each other? Nurture ourselves? Feel safe and protected? Those are bound to be hot topics over the next 13 months. And will the future be female? Jupiter in Cancer can bring a culture-wide shift with regards to women's rights, bodily agency, and access to power. Past cycles have definitely amplified these themes: On the heels of Jupiter's 2013-2014 odyssey in Cancer, Beyoncé brought gender rights to the VMAs, performing in front of a huge sign that read 'Feminist.' The same year, then-17-year-old Cancerian Malala Yousafzai became the youngest-ever person to win a Nobel Peace Prize for her work providing safe education for girls. As Jupiter flows through tender, tidal Cancer, the next 13 months will ask us to redefine what it means to belong. This transit invites us to weave stronger emotional bonds and to protect what's sacred—whether with chosen family or people who share our DNA. Expect fierce debates and heartfelt movements around reproductive justice, caregiving, and who gets to claim the title of 'family.' At its best, this cosmic cycle can birth a global reawakening around empathy, equity, and the power of community care. No, it may not look like a Hallmark card. But the future family is forming now—and if bountiful Jupiter has a say, it's got room for everyone at the table.
