The first is a playsuit.
"This is a double no-no," she said in a video on her TikTok page.
"I would never, never, never wear a romper going to the bathroom.
"That thing is gonna end up on the floor which is soaked with pee and it doesn't get mopped often."
She also insisted that she's "never wear shorts".
"The amount of times that dirty nappies get changed on the seats is astonishing - not to mention people vomit," she said.
"People are dirty themselves and are sitting in the seats.
"They're asking for ringworm or a staph infection by wearing shorts."
The next thing that's on Cher's banned list is flip flops, as she said that the plane carpet is "filthy", and she wouldn't "want my toes anywhere near an open exposure to that".
While the third is a boob tube top, as she explained that while you're probably going to "freeze to death", she also prefers to "err on the side of modesty when it comes to travelling".

"Don't hate me," she urged. "I'm not a trad wife!"
And lastly, Cher admitted she'd never wear a jumper without putting something underneath it.
"I've had actual medical emergencies because somebody has overheated and we've had to take her top off," she added.
"She was just having to sit in her bra in the cabin!
"Layers are so important when flying
"It can either be so freezing or burning hot, and hot on a plane is a different kind of heat."
Plane etiquette
IF you're planning on going away any time soon, you'll need to pay attention to the following unwritten plane etiquette rules...
RECLINING SEAT: Podcast host and etiquette expert Nick Leighton explained that you shouldn't recline your seat if the passenger behind you is working on their laptop.
He said: "Nobody likes their laptop snapped in half."
Before you recline your seat, it's best to check to see what the passenger behind you is doing.
If they are on a laptop, ask before you move your seat back.
FEET: A flight attendant told The Sun: "Your boarding card tells you a number and a letter, this will be the reserved seat that you have paid for.
"Your feet, which are attached to your body, should do their best to reside within this space and stay far away from anyone else.
"If you do insist on stretching out, please make sure your feet are covered up."
CHAT: TV travel expert Samantha Brown explained that conversations from strangers aren't welcome, suggesting that others shouldn't expect a chat.
She added: "I'm not a talker. Plane time is me time."
People were quick to comment on the video, with one writing: "The amount of people I see traveling in shorts and flip-flops is absolutely mind blowing!"
"I thought it would be a good idea to wear a jumpsuit on a flight to Europe. NEVER AGAIN!" another vowed.
"I don't ever use the lavatory," a third insisted.
"I wipe the seat and trays with sanitising wipes.
"Planes are disgusting!"
"I have a rule of thumb, I need to be dressed for a crash!" someone else said.
"This does not help my germ issues," another sighed.
