Big Joe Swim Noodle 35 Pack Pool Noodles, Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow Foam, 4.5 feet, 55"L x 2"W x 2"H each

Great buy!

These were perfect for our uses. Not as large as some others in diameter but firm, straight, strong with bright strong colors, and many of them. They are 2 1/2 inches across the top, 7 1/2 inches around the outside. The center hole is just shy of one inch across, close to 3/4. These are Closed cell, smooth surfaced, no fear of grains rubbing off in the pool. We have bought many types in the past and in comparison, this is a Very good product. These are perfect in the pool for all the grandkids and their guests. No more waiting for a turn to use one, and with so many, two or more can be used at a time, to make up for the 1/2 inch smaller size. I also cut some and used as inserts for my thigh high boots. Hubby plans to use some in his mechanical and yard work. I highly recommend these if the size fits your needs.

Using these noodles for crafts, not the pool, so I can't comment on how they hold up in the water. However, I can say the texture is as expected for the product. They are flexible, but still hold their shape for the most part.I ordered one box, and decided they fit my needs, so ordered two more boxes later. Fed Ex delivered one box a day early, and the Amazon notification implied that my order was complete/delivered, which confused me, so I contacted the vendor to make sure the second box was still to be expected. They were quick to respond and confirmed that I would receive the second box. The second box arrived the following day. The vendor asked to keep them updated on the delivery status and I have no doubt that if the box was lost, they would have gone above and beyond to track it down. I know Amazon would refund if it wasn't resolved, but was pleased that the vendor was so responsive (not like others who would throw the responsibility on the customer or Amazon).I'm putting this company on my list to use after I install my pool.

I wasn’t going to buy these after I read the reviews, but then searching for a larger lot of noodles I opted to buy them knowing that I wouldn’t get good colors as shown in the picture. I am amazed that their quality control for color is so terrible that you don’t get what they are “selling,” but people like me are buying as for the price they are worth it. It would be different if they portrayed honestly what you are getting and you didn’t have to go to comments to get the real portrayal. So my only qualm is their portrayal. After reading reviews, I knew what I was buying and opted to buy anyways as I’m using them for tramp springs and I know they will fade in the first month if not sooner so why buy expensive noodles. It came in fairly good time and am pleased as I knew what to expect, which is why I rate these fairly high. Had I not known, I would have been upset and rated very low. They are not the colors they show in the picture, they are not as thick as they say they are, but they are worth the price if you don’t need them to be “all that.” 4 stars not 5 because of false advertising.

Product is good, box was slow to ship and ripped open when it arrived.

I was delighted last fall when my neighbor felled a bunch of trees on his property; however, in doing so, most of the backyard privacy I had enjoyed was obliterated. On the plus side, I now have lots of sun.So I have an overthought, summertime set-up to cool off. My inflatable tanning tub sits on some yoga mats. A 2-sided PVC structure holds 9 vertical pool noodles on one side and 30 horizontal pool noodles on the other. The noodles were "skewered" on one 4' and two 6' driveway reflectors, respectively, and hung on the PVC structure.Colorful, water resistant (and thus bug resistant), lightweight, easily broken down in the event of heavy weather. I now have the privacy I want when I cool off. All in all, these noodles are serving a terrific, albeit different, purpose and will be re-purposed for wintertime uses on which I am currently "noodling" ideas (along the line of door draft stopper for sliding doors).I expect these noodles will last for many seasons.
