Is there any way to not get clear? I want to use these in kids goodie bags and I just know the one who gets clear will complain.

Yes, at time of purchase send us a buyer message that you do not want clear and in its place to send one of the other colors. Jean

I couldn't figure it out either - cut the tips off and they drained immediately. I finally discarded them after writing a comment to Amazon about how useless the are, and then bought some more expensive clay ones which are very good. My advice is send them back for a refund, if you can.

yeh, but they can come apart easily when a kid tugs on them hard enough. they also drop them all over the place... careful opening the bag. also be aware there were a fair amount of "duds" in the tube; maybe 20-25% of the sticks didn't light up or were very dim (old, maybe?)

I'm not sure I know how to answer that, because I don't understand how they could get stuck. I've always stacked them in the kitchen cabinet. Did you just receive them, after purchasing them? If so, I'd contact Amazon and ask for a return label and replacement shipment. If you try to do something to get them free, you may not be able to return them.

I keep them in the ziplock bag they came in just make sure that it stays sealed. It wouldn't hurt to throw onther bag over the first one, the big thing is to make sure they do not dry out

No you can't, they have a special place to seal. They are extremely durable & I put things in a cheap baggie and then in the heavy duty re-seal bags from Waring, sounds counter-intuitive, but they wash out easier. I have yet to order additional bags. They wash out very well and last.

Margaret:I would have no idea how to get your bag undone, sounds like you will need a new sealing strip when it is all over. I have never had that happen in all my years of using vac sealers. sorry that is all I can offer

That is a Good Question, but to tell you the truth, they couldn't be fresher. They taste like they were just produced and if you try these vs what is in the store you will know it hands down and that will no longer be your question. So Fresh, my husband kids me about putting 1 package in a box to send my buyers (I'm a seller on ebay and I give out thank you gifts and a few of these not just one to all my buyers) and then he says 2 for me. 1 For the buyer 2 for me. I think I have noticed too him snitching my bears in my inventory room where we have an exercise bike ;-? Yeah, 1 for the buyer, 2 for me and how many for him is the real question !

I tried keeping them in a paper bag. Generally I find that they either mold if you keep them wet or dry out if you keep them in a dry place, so I'm not sure what to suggest.

I think you could use a heat sealer to seal the bags. I bought a couple when I purchased the bags but haven't used them yet. It just seems a lot easier and funner to tie them. Also the contents in the bag expand a lot after they are frozen so I would only fill them a little over half full and leave some room at the top for expansion.

I call the ones I have see-through. They are not perfectly clear but I have no trouble reading the contents. I use them all the time and love them!

There were directions? Sorry, I just put the clothes, or blankets/towels in the bags and used a vacuum to seal them off. The smell wasn't 'musty', but smelled of the plastic chemical. They did wash out with only one washing in the washing machine, but inconvenient to have to wash perfectly clean clothes. And an FYI. I use these while traveling since I have a small car and need the space. I find if the bags are deflated and left in one place, they do better than if you have to move them around. Seems they do not do well with much moving around. Only the slightest micro tear will cause this to be null and void for why you bought it. There were directions?

I have fibro. They're individually packaged (one pair per packet) so I usually rip the bag open with my teeth, then I squish each one and stuff it in my ear, hold it there until it swells back up, then repeat the process with the other one. Even on really bad days it takes me no more than 45 seconds. Taking them out is instantaneous.

I purchased the clear...and I don't have any problem. But I only use them inside.

HI I usually plan ahead and make a bunch. Keeping them in ziploc bags. I will leave them overnight and then make another batch in the AM. Usually 12 is enough. I love them and they are a huge hit!! I have thought of trying to rinse and reuse but.....hmmmmm just don't know..lol

I have sold a few of these, and I have them in stock. They are sealed in a bag with and I have not opened the bag, however there is a white powder like substance that is in the bag that I assume is to keep them from being so sticky. Did your product come in a similiar type bag?
