    b2p 24 and 36?

    I enjoy b2p, but not super loud. Larger balloons are better for this, 16 inch unique = lots of anticipation, satisfying but not painful boom. 9 inch balloon = quickly full, might not be able to blow hard enough to bust it, sharp crack.

    I am running out of Unique 16s and can't seem to buy more. I haven't played much with larger balloons, they take too long and are too expensive. I might get some 24s or 36s - either on Amazon or bargain balloons. Any brand recommendations? For a b2p, the price really isn't that bad.

    It’s a pity that U16 are not produced anymore… I’m also desperately looking for an alternative. At first I thought that tt17 might fit for me, but those are much harder than they used to be - they definitely changed the formula

    For me b2ps are not the main reason… I just prefer very stretchy and soft balloons. For some reason all manufacturers seem to change their balloons to “harder” and more stabile…

    Even if the difference in noise is t that big maybe, I tend to be a bit more courageous with softer balloons. Any suggestions are welcome

    Thanks and warm regards,

      The Kalisan 18's look like fun too, but might be too hard to b2p. Balloons are no fun if they don't pop, and more fun if they can pop at any time. I can blow up a dozen $0.08 balloons and just pin pop them or squeeze them and do it again until I am bored or get up the courage to try a b2p or just keep blowing them bigger. I can get bored with 12 inches, even blowing to pop. Tuftex really turned me off of b2p, not just the noise (even with ear plugs), but the shock of getting punched in the face is unpleasant. If I can b2p a U16 without chickening out, I immediately want to do it again. If I successfully b2p a Tuftex, I don't want anything to do with balloons again for a while. I suppose I can use safety googles and profession ear muffs, but that doesn't seem like fun. My house is far enough from other people, but I still worry someone might think there are gunshots, if I don't know how loud the balloons are and can't tell if someone rang the doorbell, that is worse.

      At $1.42 each, it feels like a waste to pop any other way than b2p, especially just popping a bunch quickly like I do the 12 inch ones.

        Hearts almost always slap your face, but not as hard. I've never b2p a figurine.

        How do the Kalisan 24's and 36's compare to the 18's?
