Men who think women pack too much for holidays appear to have a case.
Most women admit they take an excess of clothes away with them, according to a British poll by travel operator.
And around two-thirds of women use their partner's suitcase to cram in extra items.
A total of 2,317 women in relationships, who had been on holiday with their partner in the last 12 months, were surveyed.
As many as 78 per cent said they had filled their suitcase to the maximum allowed weight when they packed for their last holiday.
And 84 per cent said they had taken away more than they needed, with 67 per cent admitting to putting items in their partner's case.
On average, the "overflow" level reached up to a third of a partner's case, with electrical items such as cameras and hairdryers being the most common things put in.
Women also admitted a penchant for putting toiletries in their partner's case, with 27 per cent of those questioned saying they tended to mix items between bags in case one bit of luggage was lost.
Chief surveryor Chris Clarkson said: "I think it's well known that women in general pack a lot more into their holiday suitcases than men. I think it's down to the just-in-case mentality that many of us have, like packing for all weather conditions, occasions and eventualities.
"To see that many women fill their own cases and then around a third of their partner's was surprising though; most airlines give quite a generous 20kg allowance for checked-in bags and it's tough to fill that for just a week or two."
