Cool idea

This is a really cool concept. They’re kind of difficult to figure out at first but they’re fun to play with. Super durable. They seem to hold up well and the kids like them.

Good idea, but not perfect.

I like the idea of these, but they have a few flaws. The balloons don't always all fill up evenly and the spout used to fill them doesn't have a good seal so water tends to spray everywhere. Overall they are a great concept and my girl had a lot of fun playing with them.

Nice alternative to traditional water balloons

These ballon’s look very cool! I love that you can fill multiple at once. And you dont have to tie them! They are less expensive than you’d think, and way easier to clean up. It’s a bit of a pain separating them, but other than that, they’re super fun to use!

Easy Clean-Up But Not For Me

saral364

This item was not my favorite. The idea of filling up a lot of balloons at once is appealing, and so is the claim of easy clean-up. However, filling up the balloons requires an attachment (that is provided), and not all of the balloons on the sheet filled evenly. The end result reminded me of a water filled whoopee cushion. My kids did have a good time playing with them regardless of my own issues with the items, but some of the balloons didn't pop easily. Overall, I expected these to be more like reusable water pods, and they weren't. I don't want to make more trash no matter how easy the clean-up.

Fun and easy

These are great! You will need the hose hooked up or someone to help because they need to lay flat to fill properly. While you won’t get as big of a slash when you throw them at someone you don’t have to worry about tying or them leaking until you are ready to throw. They must have a stopper in the balloon that once filled they don’t release water until they smack something. Easy clean up! Only thing I did find difficult is if these are recyclable or not. That’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars. It would be awesome if they were but it’s not made super clear on the bag if the used balloons are allowed in the recycling or not.

Better than Balloons

gennas187

The name of the product pretty much says it all! They aren’t balloons like I was expecting, but more like a water pod. They are easy to fill up and aren’t as fragile as water balloons are. These can be handled fairly roughly- which depending on what you are looking for may or may not a good thing. If you want to have a water balloon fight with balloons that break on contact, these may not be ideal. We found these to be more rugged and could be tossed around without breaking apart. Which is another positive about this product- clean up was easy as there weren’t a ton of water balloon pieces everywhere- these tended to stay on one piece so clean up was easier. The kids had fun and set up/ clean up was easy, so I recommend!

Cool play for hot days

savannan10

These are a bit difficult to fill as they have to be lying flat, which means you can't really fill at the faucet you need a hose. Clean up is similar to regular water ballons you still have plastic waste and trash. These are not the reusable ones. Still fun for water play in the summer.

I give it a 3 star because I’m not currently able to use them. It’s pretty cold where I live and it wouldn’t be fun to use them. Also I don’t want to waste them. I’m saving them for summer. My kids were super excited when they seen them and can’t wait to use them. Also I love how it seems that it will be easy clean up.

I received this product complimentary for my review. It is an amazing toy for the summer months. These are individual pods that the kids can have fun filling with water and throwing them at each other.

These water pods are very cool!!! They are much easier to use and clean up than regular water balloons! My kids and daycare kids are super excited about them! Definitely recommend!

Great Water Balloon Pods :)

ulyanas_4365

These are probably the best water balloon type of toy I have ever seen and used. The fact they dont break apart into tiny rubber peices is the best. When you have small kids and pets having water balloons ripped up is horrible. These are easy to use, dont break into tiny pieces, durable and honestly worth buying.

Fast fill, delicate separation

ryank9100

I enjoyed how compact the many “balloons” were to transport, and I loved how easy they were to fill. Unfortunately I found much difficulty with removing the filled pockets from the fill stem. I had 2 pop on me as I was being gentle. Many did not rip off the stem cleanly. The kids had a great time bursting the pockets on each other. They explode water on impact much easier than rubber balloons.

I love these! These are a game changer. Filling these balloons is so easy. No more filling one at a time and the clean up is so much easier. Nerf better than balloons will save you so much time this summer. I would highly recommend this product. Give yourself the gift of more relaxing summer.

I got these because my daughter would love them and she absolutely does! They’re easy to use and they cut back on having to pick up little balloon pieces. I think these will become a must have for warmer weather.

Twice the fun, way less work

It's February in North Dakota but we hit a high of 63 degrees last week. My son thought it would be fun to have a water fight with his friends in the shop. We were able to fill these up with water and throw them at each other. We didn't have to worry about cleaning up broken balloons afterwards or the dogs eating them!

Nice concept

It was a great concept makes cleaning a lot better than ballons. Kids loved it. Only gave star stars because it was kinda hard to fill and hard to pull apart. It didnt come off as easy as we thought. But over all the kiddos enjoyed it so we might be purchasing these for the summer.

Cool concept

This is a cool concept but in execution it wasn’t the best. These are sturdier than regular balloons but they weren’t necessarily easier to fill. I had to use a house bib to fill which I prefer to fill balloons inside using a sink. Once we finally had them filled it was fun to play with but I don’t think I will be buying again.

Definitely better than water balloons

taniap02

These are way more durable than balloons, meaning they dont pop easily when inflated or thrown. They dont pop in grass and only pop if thrown with heavy force agains the floor or something hard. In a way they are great because they are more durable but also a little harder to play with as well.

100° Day Fun

My new Nerf Better Than Balloons just arrived, but thanks to the sleet, I'm stuck inside staring longingly out the window. Guess I'll have to wait for a scorcher of a day to unleash the full potential of these colorful water pods. 100 degrees, here I come! Get ready for popping, throwing, splashing, and stomping – all the fun of water balloons without the cleanup. Smiles

I like these better than rubber balloons because they seem to be better for the environment. They are really hard to fill. I could not get the one closest to the full neck as full as the ones at the bottom.

Needs a hose and not reusable

myheatherfields
a year ago
I received this product from Influenster and Nerf for my honest opinion. To be honest, i thought these would be like the reusable water balls we have seen everywhere. They are not. To fill them you need a hose or faucet you can screw the plastic tip that it comes with onto. I do not have either as we are in the middle of winter. It says to keep the sheet of them laying flat while filling but a faucet would not allow for that. It fills one heavy plastic sheet at a time with 12 pods. Once full you rip them off the main sheet with the serated lines. They let out water on contact or squeezing. Again, not reusable. But says easy to clean up. Not sure cleaning up 108 little pods and the sheets they come on is really easy. Might be fun for an hour outside in summer... but wrong time of year to be reviewing this item.

Cool concept but more work

karleyv1

I received these nerf better than balloons from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. My daughter loved them and I loved that there was just one thing to pick up after they were popped. They were more difficult to take apart than regular balloons so it took up more time. I probably would not buy these again because of the extra work (but someone could argue me and say they are less cleanup time than regular balloons)

Not the best execution. Easyish to fill up, but many leaked. Fun to pop, but my kids said they hurt when hit with them. It says they stay in one piece, and for the most part they do, but there are many smaller pieces left over

I have two children that love to play with water balloons. But we all know water balloons are a huge pain to clean up! I was so excited to see these Better Than Balloons. They stay in one piece when they pop, so clean up is much easier.

We bought her some similar balloon pods last summer for her birthday party and she was obsessed! So when she saw this package she immediately asked if she could go outside with them to play. It’s only 52 degrees lol 😂 so we have to wait till 70-80 degrees to do balloon fights. But I know she’s going to have a blast with them. She loves setting up her slip-and-slide and having balloon fights with her friends! Thanks Influenster X Nerf for making her day!

Not reusable

coffeegirl444

I was excited to try these with my daughter. I expected them to be reusable but they are not. They come in a “sheet” that fills the pods up at the same time. When detaching them from the sheet after they’re filled, some rip. Also, worst of all, they’re not reusable and are not much better than using a regular balloon.

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!

These are not balloons and dont break apart like balloons

kjcoridemello

Wow I actually love these. In my house I have 3 boys from 5 to 15 so we are always trying to do stuff with water balloons or sprinklers. These are probably the best water balloon type of toy I have ever seen and used. The fact they dont break apart into tiny rubber peices is the best. When you have small kids and pets having water balloons ripped up is horrible. These are easy to use, dont break into tiny pieces, durable and honestly worth buying.
