Great once you get used to using it
I'm using these stretching "lids" on ceramic cat food dishes that end up in the refrigerator. Initially I didn't like them because they tended to repeatedly slide off the dish as I tried to put them on. A few times the dish almost shot off the counter! However, once you figure out a few tricks they are amazing! If the lid won't adhere be sure it's centered well on your bowl/cup. Also, a wet/dewy or cold dish will be your enemy, so be sure the bowl/cup is dry. If the container was refrigerated leave it out at room temperature for 10 minutes before trying to put the lid back on.I can't say for sure if they'd contain fluids, but they definitely contain the smell of cat food! They also seem durable. I've been using the same 4 lids for 2 months and they're not "stretched out" or ripped. I also feel like they're eco-friendly since they're reusable (though who knows what pollutants are released during manufacturing).Excellent item and I would definitely buy them again, although seeing as they're durable and it came with 10 in a pack I probably won't need to repurchase for years.

Perfect Little Pack
I have a bunch of pyrex bowls and the plastic lids have been cracking. So, I've been wanting to order silicone covers to replace these lids for a while and was frustrated that all I could find were multi-packs where you'd get a few of each size. I knew what sizes I needed, so I'm glad I was able to buy this pack with the 2 sizes I needed! These fit my bowls well, and they are such a wonderful alternative to plastic!

So far so good! - until we actually used them.
These appear to be decent quality with no chemical smells open opening. They even are grasping tight enough I can stack containers to some degree. I got what I expected and hope they clean up and hold up well.EDIT: Now after having used these for a bit, here is my user review. First, they are way to slippery, with no tackiness, for the containers they do fit on, once they become moist, which they always do once placed in fridge, you can no longer get them to stay on because they just slip off.As to the fit, they fit a far less range of container than advertised. The little ones do not hardly stretch out to go on anything larger and the large ones do not shrink down much to go on anything smaller. Therefore, the ended up not even fitting on the very size for which we purchased them for and the few they do fit on, which we didn't need them for, slip off after they have been in the fridge and removed.These did not meet our expectations.

difficult to clean
The 77L Silicone Stretch Lids more or less fit several sizes, but are difficult to clean - including the original smell common to new silcone type items. When we checked (by tipping a bowl covered seemingly snugly over the sink) and a gentle shake as might happen in the fridge - leaked. They also are rather thin so I expect over a short period of time seem likely to tear rendering them useless. Given the hassle caused by Amazon delivery to wrong address TWICE - they were jinxed from the beginning.

Excellent replacement for plastic lids
I prefer to use glass containers for food storage. Have have a set of Pyrex bowls for a number of years which had substantial plastic lids. They have been in constant use for more than 10 years. Recently they all began to self destruct and I was in a quandary about what to do. Searching Amazon for solutions I can up with these. There were several options to choose from. I settled on this set considering the overall sizes in my collection of food storage containers. These arrived today and I. Happy to say they are PERFECT!

Works well for smaller dishes
I use these every day to cover my breakfast bowls I prepare ahead of time. I learned a trick to get them on (put the sides across from each other on first). However, I don't have anything small enough to use with the smaller lids. I feel like they were a waste of money. I wish that they had a pack that would fit a normal sized bowl and a dinner plate.

They work, but they don't stretch as much as they say
I originally bought these to replace the covers for my 6in pyrex bowls. The small ones were supposed to stretch to fit a 6-in bowl. They barely fit, to the point that sometimes the cover doesn't stay on. Sometimes it will stay on, but it is a struggle. If they made these just a little bigger, they would work a lot better.

Good for what it was intended for
Received quickly and in good condition. I use the smaller set to cover leftovers in my cat kibble bowls. They fit well and not having to overstretch in any way, I've not experienced problems in regards to durability. I'm sure I'll find use for the larger set in my kitchen.

Okay substitute for cling film
So i batch cook and freeze portions in small bowls. They're hot from the pan when i seal them, then i let them cool, freeze them and then microwave them on later days. I use a dishwasher to wash things so I'm looking for something more sustainable than cling film and so far these are holding up to this punishment. If, in a few months, that changes I'll come back and change this but right now I'm getting some more because they seem to be everything I need :)The update... The lids don't always dishwasher clean so easy, ended up needing to hand wash and dry them. Also they're no good for the microwaving part as unsealed they explode off due to pressure and if you make a gap sauce will funnel out in a way a pricked cling film won't so for sealing cold items or tins these are good but for my batch cook I went back to cling film. Going from 5 to 3 stars based on owning them for a while.

Need to be different shapes.
Had these for nearly 6 months and never managed to use them. I wanted something to go over homemade dishes to freeze as wax wraps aren't suitable. These don't fit anything unless it's round.If they were square, rectangular, oval, pie dish shaped, then maybe I could use them but they've just been taking up cupboard space and driving me to distraction on the few occasions I have tried to fit them over one of my dishes.

No more spills - easy to fit
The large lid fits my 8.25 diameter bowl easily, with no spills and my 9 inch diameter plate. You need to start from the side of the bowl closest to yourself, stretch over the top (and hold the top), then do the sides. After than adjust to ensure all sides are equally stretch over. The smaller lids fits my 6 inch diameter bowl easily. To make it easier, give it a good stretch, like a sling shot, before applying over the bowl or plate.

Have to learn what they can be used with as I feel will only fit certain vessels.
I wanted to not have to use cling film anymore. These seemed a good replacement for covering food. Not had chance to use yet, so Im not sure what they will fit, but quality seems good. I would have liked some smaller ones to fit cups or drinking glasses, and I haven’t managed to get an air tight seal on anything yet. These will not be able to completely replace cling film, but will be useful for some things Im sure.

Waste of money!
Absolutely useless. The seller claims they will stretch to 10inches - they do stretch over a salad bowl but immediately snap back as there is not anything on the edges to hold them in place. Utterly dissatisfied.
