Durable Large Squishy Water Bead Stress Balls (12 Pack) - Great Sensory Toy for Anxiety Relief for Children and Adults - Helps Calm Kids with ADHD & Autism

They say "Durable" in the title, but they're anything but. To begin, each one is individually wrapped, which is nice. When opened it has an awful chemical smell...but I'm hoping they're truly non-toxic like they claim to be and the smell fades quickly. They're suuuuper sticky to the touch but this is pretty typical of these types of toys and they don't leave your hands feeling gross. Now, for the "durability", I'm a grown adult who brought this to work to squish on the job. I haven't been rough on it or anything, yet the seal has completely broken and is now basically a detached plug. I gave one to a co-worker before opening one for myself and she experienced the same thing. I would have returned them but my kid took a few and lost them before I had opened mine and discovered how bad they are....I don't recommend buying these and if you do, don't give them to kids...aside from the potential for a giant mess of little balls all over your house, I could easily see a child or dog eating the contents once the ball inevitably pops.

“Squishies” topped the Christmas list.Bought these. Clenched one in my fist.Nice and strong, but what the hell?Why’s it sticky? What’s that smell?Couldn’t give these. They won’t work.Man, that Santa, he’s a jerk.No squishies in the Santa sack.Now I have to send them back.

I bought these to give out as prizes for my students, but had to return them because they arrived full of black mold! 🤢 It was particularly noticeable in the yellow balls, but by squeezing them through the packaging I was able to find mold in all 12 of them.

I purchased these as fidget toys for my high school class. Within one day, two of them had been destroyed. The seam ripped and all the gel beads fell out. I wouldn't have been as upset had the title not been "durable".

The balls were a big hit with the kids. Adults loved playing with them too. They had a very, very strong chemical smell. I had to let them air out in the garage for a week before allowing the kids to play with them. The balls felt a bit sticky at first but then got less sticky or tacky.

I bought this box of ball as a gift for my employees, and I tried one for myself and the first one out of the box and it lost some of the air inside it. Even though it's still squishable it's not the same.Update: 2 balls are now flat!!! wow what a bad product

Perfect for stocking stuffers. These squishy balls work well and I can’t seem to put it down. Very addicting while relieving stress and anxiety. I purchased for my daughter to use instead of picking at her skin around her nails.

Durable and fun. Exactly what we were looking for. The kids loved the color variety.

I am a school based social worker and I brought these for my students with additional challenges. They are great quality and come just like it looks in the photo. Would recommend!
