Here is what this is: a little leaky bag full of sand, with a fairly fragile plastic covering. I’m not sure why, in this day and age, Isoflex can’t find a plastic that lasts longer than a few months, but I assure you that the other reviewer is right, and the bag will break. Once the bag breaks, little clear grains of what is (probably) artificial sand start to leak out and you have to throw the whole thing away. The whole process has made me extremely stressed out and I will probably have to buy another stress ball just in order to cope. Also, you will find yourself wondering why you paid good money for something you could have made yourself with a sandwich bag and a trip to your local beach.

I bought one of these a few months ago to help with some muscle strain I get in my hand from heavy computer use. I saw a Dr. about my pain and they said the best thing was an exercise ball. I found this one and liked it a lot, but it isn’t very durable.
I used it about 4 times a day, 4 days a week for 2 months and now the skin of the sack is cracking. It’s too bad really because I liked this one better than the other things I’ve used, including professional / medical grade Therapy Putty. The Putty would practically “melt” and loose it’s strength after a few minutes use or on a hot day it would melt prior to handling it. The IsoFlex held up very consistently throughout use, and even now with the skin cracking it works fine. I can tell though that the skin will break soon and become unusable.
I guess for the price it’s a “disposable” item, and I probably will buy it again because of how much I like it. This time I’m going to buy 3 or 4 though!

I’ve had it for a few weeks, and it seems to be very durable so far. Pretty much as expected.
