The plastic containers used to hold Johnson & Johnson baby
wipes are perfectly sized for storing 3 1/2-inch floppies,
with each container holding 30 to 35 disks. This is much
cheaper than buying disk organizers costing anywhere from $4
to $8, and reusing this packaging eliminates plastic waste.
The containers are stackable, come in blue or white, and
include an integrated lid that is permanently hinged. I
recommend the unscented wipes, as the boxes are more
pleasant to be around and the wipes are better for baby's
bottom. Anyone who has or knows someone with an infant can
inexpensively organize floppies, protect the environment,
and keep babies clean and happy.

Editor's Note: Incurring one of my most unusual business
expenses, I bought some of Johnson's Baby Wash Cloths (as
they're more properly called) to test this tip. The cloths
cost about $3.50 for a package of 84, and sure enough, the
vacuum formed plastic tub they come in does make an
excellent disk storage container. Because the moist towels
contain an emollient solution (which doesn't feel greasy,
but might hurt floppies nonetheless), I recommend rinsing
the tub thoroughly with soap and water before pressing it
into service.
Also on the shelf were Kleenex Huggies, Scott Baby Fresh,
and Longs (the local store) brands. Some looked promising,
but others had tubs that were clearly narrower or shorter
than Johnson's. If you'd like to use a different brand, try
one tub for size before making a major investment.
