Blue Gender Reveal Powder Cannons and Smoke Bomb Poppers, 2-Pack, 24 in

Was easy to do!

Simple to use. Instructions were clear as day. 3 of each gender in the box. Powder dissolve with water.

It looked nice and was easy to clean off.

I purchased the two blue cannons for a friend’s gender reveal. One of the cannons did not work and the one that did work took excessive amounts of twisting to fully pop. There was a small poof before the big pop that was very anticlimactic. Very disappointed. I felt like it ruined the reaction to the surprise. The couple even said they weren’t going to use the video to announce the gender because of how defective the cannons were.

Loved that this product came with the quantity it did so my husband, stepdaughter, and I could do it together. Worked perfectly for the gender reveal, huge pop of color to announce our newest arrival! The wind did send it toward the guests and a few got the color on their clothes so be aware of that. The next day we popped the gender color that we didn't use and one was a dud, would not pop, which is why I gave this product only four stars.

Loved this product! I wanted powder over confetti because of the mess factor. And I wanted powder that was bright enough and lasted just long enough to get a good reaction and some pics. This did the job perfectly! It came in its own box aside from the Amazon box which made the quality even better. It does have clear film on the top in order to check the color is right but it included two black stickers to place over the clear so others can’t see what’s inside. I was afraid it would be hard to twist and might fail but this was easy enough without going off premature and made the timing easy so one didn’t go off before the other because of the difficulty. I was very pleased!

I used these during the gender reveal of my first baby (it's a boy!!) and they were straightforward to use and very brightly colored. The product comes with the powder color visible through a clear film at one end and some stickers are included so that you can cover it up yourself before use. You can't tell what the color is once you use the stickers and I think you would risk ripping the clear film if you tried to peel off the sticker to double check the color so keep that in mind. The powder was super vibrant in real life and on video. No confusion on how to use them, just follow the included instructions. The ones I bought were used outside -- the powder got on a box/ sign we were using in the gender reveal video but the powder came off just fine with the use of a leaf blower. I can't speak to what mess these would cause indoors but I think don't risk it and use it outside.

They get the job done, however there were some preparations we had to do before the big day. The tops show the colors of the pipes so we had to tape over them. They look great and the colors are vivid. Twistability sucks. We wanted to set off two pipes at the same time, but we were only able to twist one. The other one, the paper ripped on the twist part and was just spinning around. There was no grip. It was fun and the gender reveal was successful but make sure you have a strong grip. Also- the power goes everywhere and stains skin/clothes. Take that into consideration.

We used two of the blue cannons and the other one did not work / not working, seems like a damaged product. It ruined our event. DISAPPOINTING.
