260 Long Balloons 100 Pack Black Twisting Animal Balloons Thickening Latex Modeling Long Magic Balloons for Animal Model Halloween Weddings Birthdays Festival Party Decorations (black)

The balloons are excellent quality for the purpose. I was teaching a 5 year old how to make balloon animals and she was only able to break one, despite all the punishment she put them through. I haven't broken one yet. Very strong, get the job done. They should not use the Q suffix though. The Q says Qualatex, and these are definitely not qualatex balloons. The bag they come in is a different brand.

Thick enough to blow up and make animals/figures either! A new hobby my kids started and they love it. Some pop randomly so don’t over inflate. And you need a pump .

Silky smooth to twist, they are only mildly harder to mouth inflate than QualatexI'm a paid balloon twisting entertainer for kids parties. Pops can happen no matter what name brand you use, but some are certainly betrer than others. That's why my creations come with a 50/50 warranty! (50 feet or 50 seconds...whichever happens first!)I Just got this order of (3) 100 ea. "Pastel red" (looks like a ROSE PINK to me) colored chinese branded 260 balloons. They are on sale at $3.50 per 100 in this color only. Other single and multi color are $6.00 for reg colors and $8.00 for metallic colors per 100 or some I saw were 150 in a bag. I'll call this a test order from Amazon. 3 bags of 100. Each arrived with balloons all straight, 50% nozzle up 50% down AND each 100 is vac sealed. WOW! B brand charges WAY more for nozzle up and vac seal.isnt even offered! 2 pkgs were dated as manufactured 6/2024 (1 year oldat this point,) and one is 5/2025 ( 1 month old.) Awesome. I Just tried some of my more demanding single balloon twist critters and not a single slow deflate or pop while twisting. They feel Silky smooth to twist, they are only mildly harder to mouth inflate than Qualatex, but not nearly as hard as Betalatex. For a reference, I can mouth inflate (2) Q brand 260's simultaneously. Most folks I know can't even do one. (When performing I use a hand pump.)I will be stocking up on several bags of each color they offer in the very near future. These are by far the best value I have seen available in a long time! No weird smells, and I was able to twist all my standard creations without any extra adjustments.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:They work but feels like they pop a little too easy. Maybe our noobie technique. But a little cheap quality feeling. So far for the price it’s alright for practice with kids.

Good quality. Color is spot on. None popped on me. I would purchase again.

I bought a few packages of these balloons in different colors prior to a visit to our grandkids. I also bought a simple pump to inflate them. The kids, ranging in age from 8 to 18 had a blast playing with them. They spent the better part of a couple of cold rainy days making hats, swords, dogs, and the like. The 18yr old took a package back to college with her to entertain her friends there. When a balloon ended up popping from too much use, the kids would recover the fragments and blow them up. This is a great inexpensive general purpose gift for kids of all ages.Oh, and yes. Product quality was just dandy.

These balloons are not very stretchy, they pop extremely easily even just while trying to twist into an animal. The white ones in particular are really bad, I have only been able to successfully inflate and tie one without it splitting open. We stretch them before inflating and rub them before twisting to warm up the latex a little, I even tried lightly squeezing them that seems to help a little. These balloons definitely cannot be over worked so I wouldn’t recommend them for a beginner to practice with

Worked great
