Fun alternative to water balloons!
These work pretty well however I had a few of them not fill up and a few of them pop while filling. But all in all they were fun and easy to use! Easier to throw than a traditional water balloon!

Do not buy these
These do not work. They make a lot of garbage when you try to tear them out of the plastic they are in, so if you think there's going to be less clean up, nope. They are even harder to break than water balloons. And they are not easy to fill up or tear out of the palstic they are encased in.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and bringing your experience to our attention! We’re sorry to hear that you had challenges with your Nerf Better Than Balloons Water Pods. We have some troubleshooting tips that can help resolve each issue. For the best experience with removal and popping, ensure the pods fill completely while the sheet is lying flat. Next, to remove the pods, the best method is to pull on either side of the pod on the perforated line, the middle section where the water flows in the pod may be slightly tougher to pull off. The pods are more versatile than traditional latex balloons for different play experiences. You can stomp, throw, spray or splash them!

Not better than balloons
These were hard to fill, hard to tear apart and there's just so much garbage when tearing them apart. Not better than balloons in my opinion.

Really useless
They would only fill like have of them of each pack. The goods about this product is the noise when piped and the shape of it. Only buy if you have friends to play with or on a trampoline. Don't buy!!!!!

Meh....
I was so excited for these, but we didn’t love them. They fill up fine but they are too thick. We had a water balloon fight with them and kids were crying because the edges would scratch them and still not pop. They are fine, but a disappointment for us.

Do not buy!
Omg, do not buy these. This is a mom’s worst nightmare. It took me 30 minutes to fill them up, and half popped before they were even used. Then, you have to pull every single individual water balloon off a plastic “thing” and they would rip and then pop. Never again!

These were awful. They didn’t all fill up and ripping them apart was time consuming and they don’t rip easy. I got these at 70% off and not even worth that! stick to other brands.

Nope
Most of them burst before we were even done filling them. And that was if the whole sheet even manage to fill up. They were harder to pop for us adults, my daughter (5) struggled a lot as well. I like the one-piece-to-pick-up idea they were going for, but I think they need to re-engineer the product and figure out how to make it flawless. Until then, just stick with other brands, or reusable ones.

Mixed feelings
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have mixed feelings on these Nerf Better Than Balloons. You have to lay the balloons flat before filling them, but not all of them filled with water. They did leak and bust holes through them BUT despite all the flaws the kids actually had a blast and want to keep playing.

Not Easy to Use
Liked the concept till we went to used them. After filling them up, it takes a terrible long time ripping them off the plastic which does NOT tear easily. Since the plastic is thicker than latex they hurt when you get hit and don’t always pop.

Kids love them
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are 9 sheets 12 water pods each. Very easy to fill them up and (what’s more important) clean the mess after. A great option for kids to play with when it’s so hot out!

Not sure how these made it to market out of the test department. Terrible! Not only do half the balloons not fill, some break when breaking apart. Buy the bunch of balloons instead .

Terrible. Hard to break apart. Couldn’t get all of them to fill up. It hurts to get hit with one.

Stay away
Awful. Hard to fill and despite the “easy to clean” makes 10 times the mess of the small instant fill balloons. Lots get destroyed peeling apart

These things were terrible. They hurt when you get hit. Kids hated them. They are not balloon like material, more like grocery bag material.

Terrible!
These are terrible! They are meant to be simple to setup, but they took over an hour to set up! They were popping before all of them were filled on the sheet! I would much rather individually fill up plastic water balloons than ever try these again! My poor coworker was exhausted from trying to set it up. These are NOT better than balloons. Very obvious the engineer did not try their own product. These were purchased not by me but in bulk for a summer camp and I had to set it up for 75 kids, miserable!
