> 24 hourWe FINALLY got a warm spring day to FINALLY break these out and put them to use. Game changer! I put these along with a 12 pack from a different brand, and they were indistinguishable from each other; that said, I dont think (at least from eyeballing) that any of these are noticeably different than another brands (I could be mistaken, but even the silicone felt identically thick to the touch, the magnetic closure was just as strong on both, both brands popped open with the same degree of force, etc.). So my suggestion is to buy a big pack of these (the more the merrier with 2 young kids, plus mom & me who are constantly grabbing, filling, and launching) and have fun getting wet. The Dad in me loves water balloon fights, but hates the clean-up afterwards. These solve the latter pain point that has always made these events a love-hate (mostly love though) relationship. Its only been Battle #1 today, but we throw these at each other on the soft grass yard -- none, so far, are springing leaks or have otherwise failed. Im expecting, and hope, these will be perform as good as this first Battle, as the temps keep rising in the months to come, and therefore when water balloon fights are a weekly event at our house.

> 24 hourIt’s fun for my 2 kiddos. It’s nice that you don’t have to clean up bits and pieces of broken balloons and I love that it’s reusable.

> 24 hourSo I have to confess I grabbed 4 sets of these from different brands to see if there would be any difference. There is not. They are all the same balloons just listed by different sellers so go for the cheapest seller at the time. As for the actual balloons themselves. Have you ever bought that bundle of balloons that you thread onto a hose and it fills a bunch at a time... genius right! Until you have to pickup every last shred of rubber from your yard and you swear you will never do it again. These things are a flippin amazing once you realize how they work. Get yourself a few buckets or a concrete mixing tub or similar large containers. Fill with water. Drop these balloons in. Pull them apart by their silicone bladder but then transfer your grip to only the thick rings where the magnets are housed. If you hold those sections the silicone bubble wont wrinkle, then simply let go and the magnets will do the rest by pulling itself shut and trapping a full ball of water. You have to teach your kids this method so you dont have to continually fill them up for them. If they have several sources of water it makes it easier. I make them throw all the balloons then have a cease fire where they collect them all and refill to minimize large welts on their backs... what do you mean kids are d!(ks and will throw a water balloon as hard as they can at their brothers back as he refills his balloons? These also work well in a pool as you can just continually throw them and there is much less danger of the debris going into a filter.

> 24 hourThis is actually my second time ordering these water balloons because my kids loved the first set so much. My kids played with them every single night and they lasted about 5 months before they started breaking and tearing. 5 months doesn’t seem long but considering they were used on a daily basis, I think they were actually pretty durable. So here we are with the second set and they’re just as great! They’re so simple to use, you just put them underwater so that they fill up and then they snap back together very easily. My only complaint is that they’re too hard to actually throw at other people. In my opinion, I feel like it would hurt. So instead, my kids like to play with them in the bathtub. They love filling them up and then “popping” them with their hands. Overall, I love these. Just keep in mind, you might not be able to use them the same way you would use actual water balloons. But the kids still have fun with them regardless.

> 24 hourSaw these on a commercial once, long time ago, before streaming and we watched cable. I thought it was a cool concept because although water balloon fights are fun, it sucks for the person that has to prepare and fill all the water balloons and it sucks for the person that has to pick up all the broken pieces. With these re-usable water balloons, the prep is easy with a large bucket of water as they Fill Themselves! The magnets that create the seal attract and trap the water inside. And since the top and bottom sections of the balloon are connected, when the water splashes out, the balloon is one large piece that you can pick up and throw into the bucket to refill. The downside is that it is prone to leakage. So if youre doing balloon toss game, the forces at play when you toss the water balloon make cause some water to escape. Also, if you catch it in a weird way that causes the magnets to separate, water may leak out or you break the seal and all the water comes gushing out. I am torn about the value for money because really paying a pretty penny for only 6 pieces. For 5 bucks you can buy a pack of 60 of the traditional type. The concept that its refillable on-the-fly (and better for the environment) it will pay for itself over the course of several weekends in the summertime.

> 24 hourI got these reusable water balloons for my son for Easter. We havent been able to give them a real big playtime yet, as the weather has been too chilly for water fights, BUT we did try them out a bit just to see how well they work. So far so good! The are so easy to fill, you just open it up inside the bucket of water and close it while submerged. I wouldnt say they get completely filled with water, but it is enough. The magnetic closure works great, they do not leak. They stay closed when you throw them and break open upon impact. I think the silicon will hold up well even when it hits the pavement. To dry them out, I just opened them up and lay flat on a surface. I think these water balloons will last us a long time, and be healthier for the environment!

> 24 hourI love these. Theyre perfectly palm sized. They feel just like a normal water balloon. They refill themselves! Its so cool how they fill up and snap shut with the magnets. They burst open really well. Saved from having to pick up little balloon bits. Saved from filings and filling and filling. Saved from buying more over and over. Whats not to like?

> 24 hourThese arrived during a birthday party for a 3 year old on a 90 degree day and we an immediate hit! They held up to the water activities and it was great to not have to pick pieces of balloon out of the lawn for days- I ordered more!
