    I don't know if I'm just a weak little man, but since I've gotten mine I have only managed to break two.

    I pre stretch them as best i can and i try to soak them in hot water to make them looser. I've only managed to get one on a big cup without breaking it.

    Anyone else struggle super hard with theirs?
    Any tricks to getting them on that aren't listed on the Lunatac website?

    Dang! Sorry to hear you've broken two already! Hit me up before you reorder so I can hook you up with a discount code! These v2's are definitely way harder to get on than v1's because they're thicker. For v3's I will definitely make them bigger so they're easier to stretch out for larger cup sizes.

    I did see someone had a good tip of stretching one around a water bottle or Gatorade cap and letting it sit overnight to break it in a bit. Once you have it stretched once it's good to go, but the first time is where most are susceptible to breaking if they're stretched out too fast.

    Or if you can get one around small cup, play with it on there for a bit until it breaks in and then take that one off and transfer it over to big cup.

    Hope that helps! :)

    Water bottle cap might have saved me.
    Thanks!

    For anyone that's having an issue similar to mine, I found a way to cheat and save my fingers!
