GooToobz Originals - Squishy Sensory Tubes - Filled with Colorful Water, Glitter and Beads | Non-Toxic, Squeezable Fidget | Stress and Anxiety Relief - Triple Sensory Experience! (Pearl Swirl Purple)

I was really enjoying playing with this. It was very calming. I'm not sure why, but it started leaking just a tiny bit. And that was the end of that. I've got another which seems to be holding up better.

Ordered one of this for the sensory bin in my class. It started leaking the first day. Only 1 kid got to play with it. Thought it might have been defective. It was right on a seam so maybe it didn’t seal right. Ordered a replacement. Needed to return the original but it leaked through 3 different ziplock bags so I gave up and threw it away.The replacement arrived last week and has already broken too. Only a couple of kids got to try it and only if they were being gentle to make sure they didn’t tear or bust it. It still started to leak after very little use.I had to throw the second one away too so I don’t have anything to send back for a refund and I’ll be charged for the first one I couldn’t return either.Super sad because this was a very fun sensory toy. For the few minutes we got to play with it it was great. We were about to order several more for our class. 😢

I’m an autistic adult, and something of a connoisseur of tactile fidget toys. I particularly like squishy objects filled with liquid or gel, so this looked right up my alley. I really like that they give sensory ratings, as it helped me choose a style (though I still ordered 2 of the 3 colors, and came back for the 3rd as soon as I tried them). I’m sensitive to sound, and generally like silent fidgets, so I opted for the purple. I ordered the blue as well, cause it’s pretty. I justified it to myself because that had the highest tactile rating, but I didn’t really think the glitter would change the feel (it actually does, though!). I also didn’t expect the blue one to make more noise than the purple (I could see the green was designed for sound, but glitter in liquid is usually silent), but it actually does. Unexpectedly, though, not only does the sound not bother me, I actively like it! That’s why I came back for the green one (it hasn’t come yet, so I can’t comment on that one yet).I will say that when I’m actively squeezing the purple one, the liquid moves too fast through the tube to see any interesting patterns from the pearl powder. I find the blue one more visually engaging during active squeezing. However, if I move the purple liquid very gently, by lightly poking or tilting, it does look very cool. Overall, though, if I’m looking for visual input, I’d probably go with blue over purple. To me the big appeal of the purple one is that it’s SILENT.I assume these will break at some point. And when they do, it will be messy. That’s unavoidable with this type of toy. It’s just not possible to make something that’s flexible enough to squish liquid around through the skin but will never break. It seems reasonably well-made, and as durable as it can be without sacrificing flexibility. The material bends rather than stretching, so it’s likely to leak rather than burst, which is the less messy option for such things.

Great concept but started leaking after about 6 months. The edges need to be reinforced or something. Before it started leaking though it was very entertaining for my daughter. I liked that it was a “sensory play” product without the mess. The price is good but the quality isn’t very good if it isn’t going to last more than 6 months. The size was perfect for tiny hands, almost like the size of a video game controller. I’d considering buying again if they improved the materials and construction.

This may be the first review I've ever written but felt it was neccessary. I was excited to order this to add to my bin of fidgets I use for my work. First one I ordered seemed okay and after some light use it began to leak when used. Amazon was great allowing me to return to broken one and getting another one sent. I handle it with care, took it out of the packaging, which was fine, and overnight the second one began to leak on it own without even touching or using it (see photos, had to throw in in a bag so managing the leaking). I really love this fidget for what it is but after 2 failed in a row I'm afraid they just dont hold up! Maybe I got back luck twice in a row but I'm too worried to chance spending the money on more, which is too bad - when it worked it was really fun and effectively calming!

I absolutely adore this product, I got it as a gift for my birthday and it is amazing. The rumble rush creates a very nice feeling in your hands and the look of everything wooshing around is very satisfying to watch. One thing I don't quite like about it is that if you crease it a little in the wrong spot, the beads get caught and make it difficult to squeeze until you fix it. Other than that, it's an amazing product. I would recommend this for a child with a sensory fixation that enjoys fidgeting with things.

These are awesome for my students who have sensory needs, also helpful to calm down when feeling big emotions. However, after only a few uses they start leaking. They're not very durable for kids, which sucks because these are super helpful otherwise!

My daughter (8YO) got this in her stocking on Christmas. She loved the feel of it, the glitter, etc. I was really impressed and glad that it was so satisfying...but then it broke. She didn't even make it until the day after Christmas and came crying to me that evening that it was leaking. She wasn't handling it rough, either. Pretty disappointing, and I am not willing to shell out the money to replace it knowing you can't even get 24 hours out of it. Believe the reviews. It is cool, but definitely doesn't last.

My teen gets nervous on the bus this was small to bring in backpack and not distracting to othersHas a nice calming feel for childOf all agesNo concerns with leaking so far

This is my favourite sensory toy and it's such a shame how easy it is to break :( This is my second one (my first one had already broken before) Just after a couple uses, it began to leak again. Really hope the quality of these gets better soon, but for now I wouldn't recommend it.

Best gootoob of them all. That blue and the sparkles really shine in the sun and is one of the easiest gootoobz to press. Good for adults for stress or just to fidgit with. I feel like my 6 year old would just step on one side and pop it. As just me simply playing with one of them popped it. Luckly this one has lasted! Bought one of every kind. The blue glitter rush is my favorite! Feels so good in your hands.

My son and I loved this and It’s a strong material but after a short while the liquid broke through. Also, careful not to bend it or the beads get stuck.

When these arrived we were delighted! We have 4 kids all with ADHD and so finding fun "quiet" fidgets for when we read a book is so helpful. However, within 2 weeks of purchasing all of them our now broken. If we had saved the pieces, I may have tried to return, but initially we thought it was just a faulty one and we didn't want to return it because the kids found them super calming. However, they all broke fairly quickly with not excessive craziness. So, if you aren't buying these for ADHD kids that were possibly too aggressive, though having been right there reading with them I didn't seem super rough, you might love them! But if you are getting these for kids, prepare to have sad moments soon after purchase when they start to leak
