    Its good safety glasses wouldn't be needed lol, but yes some eye wear seems like its safer for btp of like 24" and when are you planning on popping balloons not on your own I would love to be there , ear plugs or none, I would .

        I wear eye protection with cheap plastic goggles. So I usually hold my ears. I know some people like the bang, but I like the tension leading to it better. I’m deathly afraid of the pop though.

          My spare hand is busy going south, not north, when I blow ;-)

            I usually close simply my eyes when the balloon feels much too tight :-)

                Haha, I can relate to this

                Normally I use neither, but with figurine balloons I sometimes wear glasses as these balloons tend to pop back into my face. I guess the reason is that their weaker points are where the sections meets the “main body”. For example mouse ear balloons often ruptur between the ears sending the balloon back to slap my face. I can’t help blowing them anyway, because it is exciting that they get tight whenever a new section is about to start. Besides they get surprisingly big, before they “give in”

                Thank you for reading my posting.

                Sincerely
                Susie

                  Neither! I love to watch them pop, and listen too!! Although I do enjoy being blindfolded while someone teases me with a balloon, not knowing when they might pop it. Does that count? lol
