5.0 out of 5 stars "I Love my Porcupine", March 20, 2009

I love this massage ball. I purchased several different types of massage balls from three different seller's and out of the three of them, this one is my favorite. It is the right size for gripping and squeezing in my hands (I alternate using it in my left and right hand) and it feels wonderful when I place it on the floor and rub the bottom of my foot over it (I alternate my left and right foot - maybe I need another one?). I love the fact that it has some give to it and is not as hard as some massage balls I have tried. I would definitely recommend the "Porcupine Massage Ball" to anyone that likes a little softer massage ball.

4.0 out of 5 stars Depends on sensitivity, May 24, 2010

This review is from: Porcupine Massage Ball (Health and Beauty)

I ordered 2 of these balls - one for myself and one for my husband. He has very sensitive feet and has had a hard time adjusting to the sharpness of the spikes. (part of the problem may also be the quantity of the spikes.) The initial uses may be quite uncomfortable if you dive in by putting a lot of pressure on the ball!

I love it though. I start by rolling my feet gently over the ball then start pressing harder once my feet are used to the spikes. I've been using mine for a few days consistently and I feel that I'm getting significant relaxation in my feet and relief from a minor case of plantar fasciitis. It also seems very durable!

These balls are hollow. They are stiff enough to stay spherical with only a little pressure but do compress about 35-40% when you put a lot of pressure on them. The spikes themselves stay stiff so even when squished the ball is delivering a massage.

Your mileage may vary. If you have very sensitive feet, this may not be the best massage ball to start with because of the stiffness and number of spikes. I find it very helpful, durable and cheerful. Plus, that color yellow is hard to lose under my desk!

2.0 out of 5 stars A little too sharp, February 8, 2008

I think the spikes on the ball are a little too pointy. I have used other balls for foot massage that I think are a lot more suitable...
