I just have to say, we used this brand one time before we reviewed all of these brands and I LOVE THEM. They work great, fill up great, include handy-dandy instructions and are totally worth the money in my opinion. Although they do not come in cool neon colors, that is a small sacrifice to have balloons that work well and keep the kids playing and having fun! When we started filling them we actually thought they were pretty cool. Although they were filled one-by-one, they self-tied which still made filling water balloons easier. They contain a small capsule inside each balloon which floats to the top after the water enters the balloon. You pinch the top and BAM they are tied. These did not fill up very well at all. We had several balloons that did not fill at all and the ones that did, leaked. They didn’t leak as bad as the first brand we tried but these weren’t a win either in my book.

However, once we filled the water balloons (according to the directions which were very limited) we noticed they did not stay filled. Water was squirting out of almost every single balloon and the balloons were getting small very fast. Leaking is no good in my book. So this wasn’t exactly a win for us.

We assumed these worked like the others we have tried since there were no instructions on how to fill them. The top leaked really bad during filling. These leaked after they filled (not at bad as the first brand) but the balloon material was much thinner so these popped really easy. Summer is here and the cool new thing is to have water balloons that self-seal. I mean, what parent doesn’t want this genius invention that will fill and tie 100 balloons in under a minute? For me, it’s a parents dream because less time tying (not to mention, no more sore fingers!) and more fun getting each other wet.

In case you want to see all of the water balloons mentioned in this post in action, you can watch our Live Facebook video below where we gave all of these a try in real time! Water balloon fights leave a lot of balloon shrapnel in the yard. If you have young children or pets, the small pieces of popped balloon can prove dangerous. Always be sure to clean up the remains of the water balloon fight as soon as possible. Water balloon fun begins when you start getting ready to fill them up. Before you fill a water balloon up with water, it’s best to stretch it out. Blow the water balloon up with air, but only as much as you would fill it water. If you stretch it too much, the balloon won’t pop when thrown. Then you can let out the air.
