Store DVD in ziplock bag from Aliexpress?
 
could you indicate on Aliexpress good quality ziplock bag to store my DVD discs and protect them from moisture? I have silica gel but I don't know which ziplock to buy but the bag size is on average 22x32cm

The thicker the mil, the more actual protection it will get. Thin bag are porous.

Aliexpress is usually the cheapest crap your can buy. 1 mil isn't even good enough for a freezer bag.

You want 3+ mils at minimum.
I think some of my better better hobby bags are 4-5 mil or more.

I use Comicare 2-mil bags for my comics, and those are pretty thin.
I have some 2x thicker bags that I use for my toys collection, and I do store those bags in boxes with some silica packets. The silica is mostly because the bags themselves can trap moisture, which I don't want. Most of the bags are not sealed, but still.

Some of what you're doing is semi-stupid for optical media. But the same techniques are not dumb for other areas.

can i only buy on aliexpress please refer me to a thick ziplock bag to protect the discs from moisture?

I bought the ziplock bag on aliexpress and I did a test with silica gel after a week the silica gel was saturated with moisture so the ziplock bag gets in moisture, it is better or worse to put dvds and electronics in the zip bag if the moisture is trapped in the zip?

Worse.
I've said this from the start. "Plasic" (not really plastic) bags trap moisture.

My intention was to put electronics and optical media inside a ziplock bag so that this ziplock bag would block the entrance of moisture but inside that bag I would put silica gel to absorb the moisture that is inside the bag and would be without moisture inside the bag and new moisture would not enter
