I've only been able to get my hands on 12" balloons but want to blow up some 16"and 24" to the max. I usually inflate them just about until they burst-usually judge this by the size of the neck.
What size do you inflate your balloons to?

Re: What size do you inflate your balloons to?
I almost always inflate my balloons to a minimum of rated size, even if I'm planning to ride them. I'm pretty light and use larger balloons so I don't usually worry about accidental popping too much.Comment

Re: What size do you inflate your balloons to?
If I want to put weight on them without popping, for example laying on them with the upper part of my body, I blow the up until the neck starts to come out.
(I usually don't put my entire weight on balloons and don't often sit on them)
If I want to pop them, I blow them up until the neck is fully inflated.
If I just want to have some balloons around and every other purpose except of decorating, I always blow them up to a full neck.Comment

I blow them up until there's just little pieces everywhere.Comment

Re: What size do you inflate your balloons to?
I always overinflate my balloons. I just love big, pear-shaped, fully necked balloons. And *somehow* I always think I can get them bigger
So, unless I'm going to try and ride one, mine always get blown up well past their rated size.

Re: What size do you inflate your balloons to?
Depends on what I'm doing with them!
If I'm planning to just play with them without popping, I usually under inflate every so slightly. If I'm going to sit on them to pop or pop them with my feet, I over inflate.
Sometimes I get a little nervous over inflating if I don't want them to pop immediately/in my face!Comment

I usually blow them first as big as the rated size, then I began to count blows after rated size, usually try to get them 2 more inches than the rated size if I can, but usually the neck begins to fill up, so I get very excited and I do my most common mistake on balloons “Yes, it can handle just a little more” and then the balloon pops or if it holds i keep it for future playsA looner looking for fun, against violence or people with hightened moral idealism…. I just care about loons, so don’t ruin the fun.Comment

I'm a strict non-popper, so I always underinflate mine. I especially underinflate when using my helium tank, so as to avoid them popping. (Plus, helium's hugely pricey, so the less I waste, the better.)Comment

Big as I can, but I’ll release a little air if I’m riding them so they last a little longer.Comment

Until they could pop. Sometimes I just keep blowing until they pop no matter what. But popped balloons are boring, the excitment is getting them as close to popping as possible. Unless there is risky they might pop, they do nothing for me.Comment
