I stored Ella's nappies in the vacumn sealed bags until Tom was ready to use them (as well as her clothes)- some of them were in there for nearly a couple of years and were in still good condition when I needed to use them.

I thought about them, Jaune, i now regret throwing out a million of them with shoes over the years. Might have to go to the warehouse and borrow some from the shoe boxes on shelves...or just buy some new shoes.]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 10:09:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364576&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364576 <![CDATA[storing nappies long term : It&#039;s might even be worthwhile...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364546&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364546 Author: Jaune

It's might even be worthwhile putting a couple of those sachet things that absorb moisture in with them, especially if they're going to be in storage for a while.]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:21:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364546&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364546 <![CDATA[storing nappies long term : Just make sure they are totally...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364545&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364545 Author: MamaT

Just make sure they are totally and completely bone dry otherwise I could see them growing mould. And if you store them in plastic keep the container in a cool place so the box doesn't sweat.]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:19:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364545&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364545 <![CDATA[storing nappies long term : Oooh thanks guys.

Oooh thanks guys. I have a box for them but was worried about moths and mould and the like. How gutting to store them for 5 years and then have them disintigrate after!]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2011 07:21:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364496&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364496 <![CDATA[storing nappies long term : There is a concern that over time...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364463&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364463 Author: Jaune

There is a concern that over time the elastic and PUL could degrade but if stored correctly they should be ok...

Here's a link from a discussion thread on the itti bitti FB page that talks about this - Storing ittis

I've decided to sell mine (not the LE though) unless I'm UTD when DS grows out of them...how fun to have to rebuy all the nappies again!!]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:33:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364463&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364463 <![CDATA[storing nappies long term : I just got DDs NB nappies out...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364459&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364459 Author: E&L+1

I just got DDs NB nappies out after about 18 months of storage. I stripped washed them prior to putting them away in a drawer so that they were nice and clean. All I have done is rewash them to freshen them up for this bub.

If I was storing them for longer I'd pop them into a plastic lidded box with some essential oils to deter insects.]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:30:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364459&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364459 <![CDATA[storing nappies long term : By the time baby no 2 arrives,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364455&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364455 Author: Dutchy112

By the time baby no 2 arrives, my son's nappies would have been in a plastic storage box for two years. I just washed them and put them away. I've had a look and they look exactly as they did when I put them there. Can't wait to start using them again! ]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:22:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364455&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364455 <![CDATA[storing nappies long term : So now Maxatron is nearly out...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364410&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364410 Author: Plushie

So now Maxatron is nearly out of his mediums, and they're nearly all LE ones and i can't bear to part with them so i was going to put them away for a future child but that could be YEARS away. So best way to keep them safe and sound?]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:48:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39948&PID=1364410&title=storing-nappies-long-term#1364410
