I 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!

Fun!

Still a great product. I would def suggest these to the older kids as they will have better control of throwing without the magnet separating too early. The kids had a wonderful time

These are amazing and work perfectly. My 5 year old loved them and we all enjoy using them in our pool.

Easy to use, lots of unlimited fun, greatly to burn off energy and not have to pick up a million little balloon pieces.

Saw 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.

I have ordered several packages of these silicone water balloons from Amazon. I havent been able to find any difference between them except the color. Some of the packages have a mesh bag to hold the balloons. Thats a nice feature. They fill well in a bucket of water and then the magnets snap the two sides shut and its ready to throw. Im delighted that we wont have to clean up broken balloons after the water balloon fight. I recommend these and all the silicone balloons. Decide which colors you want to order, whether you want the mesh storage bag or not, and definitely compare prices. They are all great.

My favorite things about these are that my kids can fill them up by themselves without bugging me! They are sturdy enough to be used over and over again!

These water balloon held up well during field day with 100 kids.

So 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.
