I can only get these to last about a month before they develop a leak. Patch kit doesn't work. Do they come in a more durable material thickness?

Not sure if they come any thicker. This is the second one I have ordered,the last one lasted 4 years with no problems. I would recommend ordering one with the extra flaps on the ends that tuck under the mattress as this one slides down when the head of the bed is raised.

I leave my on for the 3 day duration of my patch. Never have a problem with them coming off early, even when they get wet.

I've had good luck so far and not noticed any leaks from the threads. I put soy sauce, peanut oil and olive oil into them. As mentioned by others these did not come with caps.

We have not experienced that problem. Because it is an expandable hose it may be difficult finding a patch that will adhere securely. It may be worth checking with a swimming pool supply store like Leslie's to try a swimming pool patch.

I have only had them for a short while, but so far so good. A friend of mine has had them for much longer, and I have never heard her mention problems with leaks. She seems very happy with them. The seal seems pretty tight.

My baby was able to use them until he was one month old. When he was newborn the diaper was too big and it leaks!

I am a very handy guy and can fix pretty much anything, but see no way to patch the leaks. The hose was a gift.

Dudes, try Green Slime sold at Walmart. Buy the large gallon sizes and install it into a leaking tire. It works great. It seals leaks from the inside. Make sure to rinse the clear installation tube when storing, unless it will be useless next time you try to use it. You will also need a valve stem remover and maybe some new valve stems. They are cheap at Walmart.

I have not had them leak as of yet. Just make sure you get the plastic roller insert in tightly.

That rubber cement tube is much bigger than the size we usually get with 3 patch kit. It will last a long time. Even it might not be enough for all 48 patches, I wouldn't worry about it until I use it up.

I gave it to my mother-in-law as a gift. I just checked in with her today to see how they are holding up. She said she uses them often and has not had a problem with them leaking.

Outside nylon inside vinyl I go in sewers and duck hunt with them and I patched a hole a year ago with a simple vinyl patch and it has held through heavy use. They do make you sweat!

I only had leaking once, when one of the bands came loose and the top came off. You have to periodically buy new bands so they don't get stretched out, they are cheap so it's not a big deal.

I think you would want to stick with a waterbed patch kit. This adhesive is meant to be used without a patch as it bonds to itself to mend a tear or rip. It worked well on a pair of leather work gloves with waterproof finger tips to seal a rip in a fingertip. I wouldn't trust it to hold all the pressure of a waterbed.

I have only had them for a short time(2 months). The mailed blankets in some and they did not leak. The ones I am currently using have not leaked. I just had one new one rip apart when I tried to close it. The rest I am using are working fine.

The original set I bought never leaked once the last set has done the same as yours. Must have cheapened the covering. I put mine in a large zip lock plastic bag for now. And won't continue to recommend this brand. Bummer.

Actually, I had 4 of them & they all lasted as long as promised. Then a few weeks apart, they started leaking some brown gel into the toilet tank. I checked after I noticed the toilet bowls had rings around them that they had not had for all the previous years. I have replaced all 4 again.
