Bath Bomb Molds by Ian's Choice - 15 Sets of Easy to Use, Better Than Silicone and Stainless Steel, Small 1.75", Clear Plastic Bath Bomb Mold

I bought these molds because I noticed most of the people who left bad reviews didn't have a good reason for leaving a bad review. For example, a couple people didn't even use the product and returned it because they thought it wouldn't work! However, some things people said were true.Other reviewers said the molds are super thin, like plastic wrap. Not true at all. Maybe they were once upon a time, but they are plenty sturdy now.Another reviewer cautioned that you can accidentally make an indentation in the bath bomb through the plastic, such as a finger print. This is true (see picture). I just held it in the palm of my hand when mashing the ingredients into it and didn't have any problems with indentations after that.Other reviewers said it doesn't snap together. This is true. They don't "snap," but they do fit neatly together.One reviewer said they sometimes pop open when they're drying, but he put a rubber band around each one and that worked. I tried rubber bands on half of mine and will update when the bath bombs are dried. (UPDATE: The ones with rubber bands did not pop open. Some of the ones without rubber bands did pop open.)This is the recipe I used, which made 10 bath bombs:1 cup baking soda1/2 cup citric acid1/2 cup Epsom salts1 tsp. water2 tsp. essential oil3 tsp. oil (olive or coconut oil)food coloring (any color you want)Mix dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients in separate bowl. Slowly add wet ingredients into dry ingredients while mixing to avoid and fizzing or reaction. You are now ready to fill your molds. Let bath bombs dry out for 12-24 hours before using.

Update 05/2020- still using these at least four times a year. I have found that cooking spray works wonders. It’s now so much easier to get the bath bombs out.I am using these for bath bombs. While they are easy to use - I fill them up and then put a rubber band around them to hold the sides together. I've had a hard time getting the bath bomb to come out once it's dried. The size and shape are perfect though. So, this may just be my own error. I'm going to try tweaking the recipe or removing the bombs from the container sooner to see if that will help.

These are really hard to pull apart after the bath bomb is made. I broke one because the plastic cracked in the process of me trying to pull them apart. They are easy to clean and use, but they just don't work that great. They aren't very sturdy plastic either. They are very weak (except when there is a bath bomb in them and they won't come apart...)

They arrived quickly and seller is super friendly. The molds are a bit flimsy but they work well. I just got them and only made three different sets. They washed out fine each time but not sturdy plastic.I don’t know if they’ll last long.They make nice round bath bomb balls. They wash out ok but It feels like the plastic is not hardy.

These were a bit difficult to close when making the bath bombs. And hard for the kids to manipulate because the plastic wasn’t so sturdy.

Despite some of the poor reviews, I really enjoyed using these molds. These are good sturdy plastic. Easy to smash together. I'm glad they're clear. This was my main reason for buying these. I made these for a bridal shower. My bath bombs turned out great. My kids even had fun with these.

I use these to make bath bombs with my after school Explorer class! It was a huge success! Our classroom smelled heavenly!

I mistakenly ordered the wrong size and am not interested in using the small molds. returning is an issue if you are a rural customer. Very inconvenient and not worth the time it would take to return. Never had a return like this and have been an amazon customer for over 10 years. I'm sure the product is fine, just can't use it.
