Using these balloons is a breeze. You can inflate them with air using a balloon pump or with helium from a helium tank. If you want them to float, go for helium. Just note that they'll float for about 12 - 18 hours. When you're done with the party, since they're biodegradable, you can dispose of them without harming the environment. Keep them away from sharp objects to avoid popping. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their quality.
