PartyMate 12" Round Solid Color Latex Balloons, 72-Count, Assorted Satin Colors

I had to throw several away b/c I could not blow them up. All were somewhat difficult, but some I could only blow up half way and others not at all. Several people had the same issue. Would be fine with an air pump, or maybe easy if you play an trumpet or something. They looked very nice initially, but lost air quickly. I only knotted the ends and they were outside, but I thought the warm weather wouldn't cause them to deflate (would have expected them to shrink in the winter). (They were decorations, not released - latex balloons are NOT OK to release and take many years to degrade and can kill birds and sea life).

I purchased these balloons to use on a gender reveal board. I was concerned that they would not be opaque and that once we hung the board outside in the sun, that the bright neon pink powder I added to the balloon would show through. Thankfully, I was wrong. 8 of the balloons had 4 oz of water in them to weigh them down, and 1 balloon had 4 oz of the pink powder. The balloons were thick and did not show an transparency. You could not see the water or the powder inside of them. None of them popped during the filling process. Sturdy! I highly recommend.

These balloons are perfect for a gender reveal! They concealed the color of the paint perfectly, however I dropped a star since 2 of the balloons popped while we were trying to set them up, giving EVERYONE a surprise reveal! Note: The two got stuck together, as they were being held as a bundle in someones' arms (they popped as they tried to pull them apart). I don't think they would have popped had they been sitting separately.

These were a little smaller than I thought they would be (in comparison to what an average balloon looks like) but worked perfect for birthday decorations. Came in a sealed package. Happy with the purchase overall.

These are not see-through at all!! Which was perfect for the use they were intended for, for me. My friend was in charge of putting either the blue or pink powder in these so we can pop them. The color inside ended up being blue and I was 100% clueless, great balloons for gender reveal.

Awesome balloons if you're looking for something clear. I got them for my kid's bubble party, to look like bubbles. I think some people were complaining because they're not CRYSTAL, but come on, I'm pretty sure that would be impossible for a balloon. Blow them up to the full 12 inches, and give it some time so your foggy breath can disperse, and they're as clear as you are going to get!

I did not realize that I bought 5” balloons but they worked great for my balloon garland. I just had to buy some white balloons locally for the large size instead of ivory.

Used these at a baby gender reveal party by filling them with colored confetti. Unfortunately, when held up to a light we could see the color of the confetti through the balloon. The balloons weren't fully inflated, e figured that would prevent the balloon from bring see through but it didn't.All in all, the balloons worked for what we needed and would be perfect if used for decoration and not concealing items!
