This is one of my most difficult blow2pops that I have done in the past 3 years! I now know why they are called Tuftex balloons... with emphasis on Tuff! I begin inflating the yellow 17 inch balloon while lying on my bed. I am barefoot and wearing a grey and black bra with cute jean shorts. The balloon is getting bigger and tighter. It feels like it is going to pop at any second. I keep blowing and blowing until I am out of breath. After catching my breath, I give it another try. I let some of the air out, so I have enough of the balloon to hold on to. I blow and blow until I am almost out of breath again... I know that it has to be close to popping. The balloon finally pops into hundreds of tiny shreds. I fall to the bed. It is such a relief!
