Unhappy Bobbin Question

Okay, so my sewing machine owner's manual said to only use Class 15 bobbins, so when I decided to get a set of them because I only had a few, I bought Class 15 bobbins.

Sadly, they're not fitting correctly, some won't even go onto the spindle and the ones that do go on are actually so tight that I have to use both hands to pull them off. I was able to wind four bobbins because they slipped on and off easily, but I'm getting some horrendous bird's nests if I'm not paying attention and my tension has been thrown off, too.

I haven't had to buy bobbins in years, so the fact that the bobbins aren't fitting has really thrown me off and I'm wondering has the standard changed (meaning the actual size) or am I just unfortunate to buy so many bad bobbins at once?
