Thicker and safer than regular balloons
on August 7, 2024
Posted by: melissar289
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are thicker than traditional balloons They were easy to fill up. Could squish them and throw them in these hot days and they did not burst so easy. They kept the kids cool in these extremely hot days

Not the greatest

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids and I were not a big fan of these! They were easy to fill however they were a pain to take apart without tearing the balloon itself. And then we tried to throw them at one another they proved difficult to pop. We either had to squeeze them very hard or pop them with our foot.

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!

Can’t remake a classic, unfortunately
on July 28, 2024
Posted by: jnsmartt
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter and I were super excited to try these out! The instructions were self explanatory and straight forward, but we watched the video QR code anyway. They filled quickly with the hose attachment, but we had major difficulty in separating them on the perforated lines without many of them breaking/taking extra time/having excess plastic. Super disappointed in their functionality. Pick up was easy. However I feel that the self inflating rubber balloons are way easier to fill and prep, and typically don’t pick them up anyway because they’re so small. Therefore this doesn’t fill a huge void for me personally.

We have some troubleshooting tips that can help resolve the issue. Each Better Than Balloons package include sheets, a fill nozzle, and instructions.

Great summertime fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Durable, yes! However they are not duper convenient to fill and remove. The perforation tends to rip the balloon and therefore the water leaks out before you can use the product. I couldn't fill fast enough for my boys but the ones I was successfully able to fill and remove, they had an absolute blast with! Several sheets included with multiple colors. Easy to clean up. Price is ok for what they are but I would say compared to their competitors, they need to work on the release from packaging once filled with water.

Easy clean up but difficult to use
on July 26, 2024
Posted by: rachelc360
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These water balloons have a unique design, letting you fill up an entire sheet of balloons at once. However, the design really didn’t work well, and we found that they didn’t fill evenly across the sheet and some burst while we were waiting on others to fill. Once filled, I found them difficult to tear apart, so some of them ripped during the process. My children were disappointed that they didn’t burst easily during their balloon fight, and they often only burst when they hit the ground. The one redeeming quality about these is that the trash is much easier to clean up than typical water balloons, so clean up was a breeze.

Fun Nerf pods!
on July 26, 2024
Posted by: aml4
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the the idea of this pods than the latex balloons. My little boy had so much fun but you have to really be careful filling them up because once filled you have to break them off from the sheet. They hold water good and easy clean up though so that’s a win!

Pretty good!

Posted by: alexisj147
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They’re easy to fill, not so easy to rip off of the perforated part. They’re not soft like water balloons they’re kinda hard which makes it concerning for a water balloon fight. But all in all they seem to be fun and my son likes them. And I love the easy clean up, no little balloon pieced

Easy to fill, but that's all
on July 24, 2024
Posted by: karanm2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly thank you Nerf for letting me try this for my honest opinion.
These are extremely easy to fill in, just connect the hose and it takes less than a minute or so.
But the problem starts there. As these are made of plastic, they are extremely hard when thrown and hurt you.
They don't pop as easy as they show.
Regular rubber balloons are much better.
