Here's a video of the "closing the one-way valve" issue.
This is much more noticable when inflating on it's own, rather than on someone's head, but can probably still occur. Fix is the same, though: increase the pressure inside the head (by pressing on it) until the valve closes and you stop hearing air leakage.
In short, it's a bit of a tradeoff. I find it useful due to my use of a bike hand pump, though.
Here's something I stumbled upon somewhat recently by complete accident.
I lost the retainer cap for the valve core on my kariwanz hood, so I ended up buying some replacement valves.
As it turns out, those replacement valve cores are much easier to inflate, though they rely much more on internal pressure to close the one-way valve, and it can leak if you don't deliberately spike the pressure to prompt it to close.
In the video, I compare the original valve core with one of the replacements.
Impressions/answers to questions asked while I had these on for ~1h:
- They have some noticeable heft to them.
- Shower does work for getting both on, getting another person is probably easier.
- Zippers and buttons (on clothing) are difficult.
- It is possible to hold (some?) drink containers with one paw (after stabilizing with the other while picking up). I tried a 12oz mason jar and an empty soda can. YMMV.
- They do not fit into Index controllers (lol)

bopperpaws (1): Thread
I received my #bopperpaws from https://www.rubberpaws.co.uk a few days ago, and I continue to be as in-love with them as when I got to try one on at the last Further Confusion.
Thank you, whomever it was at the hypnosis(? I think?) panel after the rubber panel or meetup who let me try theirs on, because that led directly to my decision to get them.
