[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 369153, member: 1991"] Helium is a very small atom and leaks through the latex. The balloons are never filled with pure helium, but a mix called "balloon gas" which is why when the helium has all leaked through, the balloon is still mostly inflated (it's the rest of the air they mixed the helium with). If you use something that helium won't leak through, the balloons stay inflated a lot longer. The other problem you will have though, is people nicking the balloons. Can't help you there.
