I love my Space bags! I use them to change out our clothes every season. I put a couple of dryer sheets w/ them but it's what I do everywhere even our drawers! I also use them for our spare pillows, quilts & towels. When Hurricane Irene flooded my basement all the things I had in the bags were safe & dry - stuff in boxes & tuppers because I hadn't made time to put in the Space bags is now ruined! I even use 1 for important papers like birth certificates, wills, passports etc to keep safe & dry! They have gotten better since they 1st came out & I have gotten 2-3 bad ones but a call to the company & they replaced them. For all the space I've saved, amount of items safe & stored I think a couple of defects is not a big deal - especially when they were replaced! Try them!
