    Favourite size/brand/shape?

    I prefer the Qualatex 18s but uniques of a similar size are also good. Qualatex have great long necks but are a little wide. The neck should look unnatural as if it should have given way by them, but the qualatex seem to look unstressed with their necks bulging...

        First choice is Belbal 14" but a close second is the neon colored Walmart balloons. They're made of a strange kind of latex that is extremely easily shaped and can over-inflate way past their normal 12 inches

          I've never seen any of these Walmart balloons - heard a lot of people talk about them, but we don't get them over here in the UK.

              I would have to look at the shipping costs, but maybe I could send you some so you can try them out. Always exciting to try a new brand

                          Has anyone on here ever tried those "duck" shape balloons? And how hard are they to inflate?

                            Tuftex & Qualatex 24" - expensive though and a cheap & fun alternative is the Greek-made Swan 24" which can be easily found on Ebay:


                            Try them, they're fun!

                            The previously mentioned Belbal 14" are also very good for their size and can be pushed far beyond their limits and take repeat inflations very well. I've recently tried some 35" Cattex and 36" Tuftex - outstanding! The Globos 26" is another good one - not much neck but worth the effort of blowing since they always go way bigger - near 30" usually.

                            Blow 'em up to bursting point and don't stop blowing!
