21-11-2024As over-engineered as these are. There are some good advantages. Firstly, they are re-useable. In a waterballon fight, duels, a consequence of a rochambaeux loss etc. You can grab it fill it in seconds in a pool or bucket and youre good to go. Its a different dynamic in play...but it makes it fun. Splash factor is great. Especially because if youve played before. Being hit by a water balloon can hurt and sometimes just bounce off you. Sometimes you have to throw it so hard just to make them pop (I felt so bad pelting my 5 yo daughter with a regular water balloon). These silicone ones were PERFECT, they explode on impact nearly all the time. Durability. I fear this will suffer sooner or later but theyve held up a couple of sessions so far. I honestly feel they will be worth their cost in the long run. Even if they break, youre left with useable neodymium magnets for other projects. Im impressed with these and this one has one.of the cheapest per-balloon cost. I do wish they had a larger quantity pack for a better price per balloon cost. These things will be great as we hit higher temps this season.

> 3 dayThey do fill quickly and it does close well. However, you will need a bit of practice to get the most fun out of this. I will say that I apparently got the giant package which is great.

Greater than one weekWhen you say this and let it process in your head, youll start to feel a bit crazy. Re-usable water balloons. Without seeing the design on these, you would assume the name refers to something impossible. But let me tell you, as someone in their 30s, these are a blast to play with. Whats the worst part of a water balloon fight? The prep work, and how quickly all that prep runs out. Grab yourself a 5 gal bucket, fill it with water, and have at it. It is that simple. The balloon splits open to fill with water, and closes back up with the magnetic edges. Literal fun for hours. They are a bit on the expensive side, but just look at it long term. The time and frustration saved on prep-work, more so if you have young kids. (They can refill these themselves with a bucket) And how many standard balloons you could possibly go through in the summer.

> 3 dayTime saver, great value for your money! Easy to use, kids have lots of fun and I’m not sitting next to the water hose filling balloons and loosing the feeling in my finger tips from tying balloons that I’ll have to go around and pick up pieces later.

> 3 dayGreat! These are great and easy for the kiddos to fill but unfortunately weve only had them a week and 3 already have pin holes in the silicone.

> 3 daySo 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.

> 3 dayThese are great water balloons. My kids were able to quickly learn how to fill the balloons without any instructions from me. They are so fast and easy to fill. Just place them into a bucket of water and gently push the two halves together. The magnets will take care of the rest. They really are water tight. If you dont throw the balloon hard enough, the balloon wont burst open. I love how there is almost no mess to clean up afterwards. You just pick up the balloon and refill in a bucket of water then you are ready to go. Comes with a mesh bag that the balloons can be thrown into to take with you.

> 3 dayThis is a really cool product to write a review for. At first, I wasnt sure how Id feel about this, but it has definitely grown on me. Before I go any further, let me first say that the only drawback Ive been able to find with this is that there are only five water balloons in a pack. While you can use these same water balloons over and over again, youre limited to how many you have throw and fill. You definitely want to make sure you have a bucket of water nearby to refill them fast, otherwise youll be the one getting soaked. Now that Ive said that, this product is really cool! The top and bottom half are connected by magnets, which keep the water contained until enough force is applied to the magnets to move them out of alignment. This is how they burst on impact when youre throwing them. Once youve scooped them up, simply put them in a bucket of water and clasp the magnetic parts together while submerged. I like this as an alternative to your traditional water balloons, that leave a mess and a lot of pieces all over the place. Not to mention that you can pop them by overfilling, whereas this product doesnt have that problem. This is a great product, just make sure you get enough to truly enjoy it.
