Would give 5 stars for me & my wife personally but everyone's preferences will vary greatly. I have gone through 250+ of these and never had a breakage. I don't care about any extra effort to get it off. In my opinion tight is good, and increases duration. If it stays put & doesn't leak or break, it does the job right. I've tried over 15 brands & this is my wife's and my favorite. I would recommend to anyone. The only concern I have ever had is after longer than average continuous use, occasionally I need to add a bit of lubricant with these. Again, this will vary dependent on many factors. Normally is not an issue at all. Maybe 5% for me personally.
