Silica Gel Packs – 50 Pcs 5 Gram Moisture Absorbers, Silica Gel Desiccant Packs for Storage, Silica Gel Packets Food Grade Orange to Green Indicating for Moisture Control

I put a few of the 15 g packets in my shoes when I get home from work. They dry the shoes out and reduce odor very well.

I learned the hard way the importance of storing pantry foods properly so not only in air tight containers, but also to ensure the contents remain dry. I now live in a hot humid climate and never before had to worry about this until one day I discovered a bug infestation in my pantry because I didn’t have things stored in air tight containers. I had to throw away an entire pantry full of food. But because of the humidity where I live, I also need to make sure there isn’t moisture in my containers. I did some online research and found this size to be more than adequate for even a 5 pound bag of flour. Every container now has one of these packets inside (baking items, pasta, rice, dry beans etc). I purchased two packages so I can change out these packets. I know it’s possible to reuse these but frankly it’s not worth my time when these are so inexpensive. I’ll just buy more when it’s time.

I like how long each packet is. I love how it's renewable

I purchased them for a move across the great US of A. Worked well for packing all my shoes & purses

I use these for rather a weird purpose. I am overweight and have areas where body moisture can cause chaffing. I make cloth 'tubes' and slip three or more of these into the tube, sew the end up and then use them under my breasts and the tummy roll I have. They work brilliantly. Some years ago I tried patenting this but it got expensive so I quit. Have several friends who use them.
