    Storing MCNs - best way for long term (month or more)?

    I have started the older boys in sposies from now until we move into a house so my washing isnt huge while Im trying to pack. I will be staying with my sister so will have access to laundry facilities but would rather not inconvenience everyone by washing loads and loads of nappies so only Ds3 will be in them (poss part time).

    I need to figure out the best way to pack and store the MCNs. The furniture/effects will be removed and stored until Im ready to move into a house; this could be a month or more.

    How would you recommend I do this? Theyll be boxed up but Im not just going to toss them in a cardboard box.

    Garbage bags/shopping bags/cling wrap.....................???

    Darcy was TT a good 6months before Nate arrived and I stored all hers in a plastic tub with a lid. They smelled a bit when I got them out but nothing a strip wash and some sunshine didn't fix.

    Vaccuum bags? They're pretty inexpensive and you can reuse them for other things like clothes and nappies to store for future kidlets.

    I was going to suggest space bags aswell.
    They will compress well and hold a LOT, also mildew, moth, water proof so no smells and not bugs and no mould.

    Yeah, I'd probably use space bags too.

    Yeah I'd do a strip wash and then store in space bags
