We've been using these ever since moving to a place on the ocean to protect against mildew and we really like them. I've tried the lavender but actually like the cedar scent better. Both are very pleasant and not overbearing at all. The paper wrap means you can just toss it into the back of a shelf or place it anywhere in a pile of clothing. They do disintegrate within weeks (the mothball, not the paper) so it's a good idea to keep extras on hand. I prefer the 12 oz. size because that bag is resealable, but the 6 oz. size can easily be used up at one time. Great for placing among swimsuits, sweaters, jeans, linens, in shoes or sneakers, and even among books or papers, under sofa cushions, and on pantry shelves. Very convenient to use, no mess and no unpleasant mothball odor.
