    I keep them in a box on the ground so I don't drop , break or spill. I really feel like the medicine cabinet would be asking for trouble. Stuff's always on the verge of falling out. Not enough room anyhow.

      I really don't have a lot of space in mine, but I have enough room to store my triple antibiotic cream, bandaids, aspirin, fragrances and pheromones. Of course I have almost all 10 mL sprayers, except for my 30 mL of XiST. So it doesn't take much space for me.

        Plastic bottles shouldn't break and sprayers are threaded, I'd probably be safer than I thought. I like my sealed box though too. I'm not always smelling pheromones.

      Yes, those shelves in the medecine cabinet are ridiculously small in width, it's risky.

        Plus the bathroom becomes a hot and humid place at every shower.

          Reminds me of the time I forgot two bottles of mones in sunlight in my car. Products went bad.

            Heat is a definite killer. However cold seems not to have major effects.

              I once thawed some bottles and products came out ok. I live in chilly country.

                  Good thing is that went a product goes bad, your nose can definitely tell. There is no ambiguity whatsoever.

                    Don't know if humidity alone can harm the products though. If products are well-sealed, shouldn't be an issue.

                      My mones have been in the medicine cabinet for over a year now, and no ill effects.

                        Alcohol will absorb water pretty quickly from the air. It'ss a problem with any high purity alcohol. As soon as it's opened, it starts grabbing water molecules. End effect would be to further dilute, slow down diffusion I would guess because water and alcohol are much less volatile than pure alcohol. I keep hearing that the molecules themselves are stable at room temps and even high bathroom temps. I think they start to melt aroun 130C, way past boiling water but within range of superheated steams.

                          In a sealed container, hydration of the alcohol isn't going to be a realistic issue.

                            Yes but all evaps and losses we've talked about are because of UNsealed products. The same ways alcohols can sneak out should be the same as the ways water vapor can sneak in.

                              I have bottles all over the dang house. Found an old bottle of ammo in a shoe the other day. Long time since I wore those shoes - LOL.

                              Technically speaking the very best place to store mones is in the fridge/freezer. We get a lot of mones that are shipped overnight because in their crystal forms require deep freezing or refrigeration at the very least. Tacitus told me that a very long time ago when I mentioned I had kept some in my jeeps center consul. He was appalled at my sacrilege! I honestly never really thought they were any weaker than if I had stored them properly, but I was using a bottle a month so maybe they just didn't have time to go bad.

                              If you're having issues with dissipation/evaporation I don't really know what to say. Our retail bottles can sit for months at a time and never evaporate. I still have tons of those sucky-ass 5ml bottles that leaked from AD (some of them from 12 years ago) that have not leaked. It really begs to question why then would they elsewhere. I'm not saying it cannot happen, but if its happening on a wide scale to all your bottles, something is not right. Are you storing them on their sides? Is the cap tight? Is your roommate secretly using your stash?

                              At one time I tried to get some caps to fit them just for shipping and storage - like we do for the oils now - but couldn't find anything suitable. I'll see if I can get the neck size next order we put in, but that won't be for a few more months. I know the approximate is about 3/4".

                                Because I bought so many oils from LPMP, I put them in the extra little bag that LPMP puts your pheros in. I used to store them where my panties are, but now they're under my dresser.

                                  Haha, that's where I put mine too now. Well for me it's boxers. But they used to be in my medicine cabinet, which was too obvious - I think my boxer drawer is less conspicuous.
