I did a 16 day hike in the South-West of Tasmania a few years back,
and naturally took the bare minimum. I had only 3 pairs of thick
socks. On a particularly dry part of the trip I took my socks off and
put them on a bush to 'air out'. After having some lunch, I came back
to find they were fly-blown.

I have no choice but to continue wearing them though!

I wash my clothes daily when actually travelling. If my next stop is
home after several days in a hotel, I put the dirty stuff in plastic bags.

Many years ago, I adapted my backpacking habits to my travel case
habits and have been a happy "camper" ever since. Visit your local
outdoor gear shop and buy stuff sacks. They come in myriad sizes and
colors. They are tough and durable and open/close easily. Even though
there may be a small opening at the drawstring, I've never had any
cross-contamination.

You can write on your stuff sacks with a marker. You may want to mark
them appropriately:

"Clean sox"
"Clean shirts"
"Dirty sox"
"Filthy, semen-stained unmentionables, veritably stiff from the sheer
weight of long-dead, crusty waves of spent man-juice"

Have a nice trip!
