5.0 out of 5 stars How to improve your adipose experience May 28, 2011

I just received my Adipose stress toy and love it. Yes there is a different smell to him, not bad, just a little strange.

He is very sticky though, but I have a solution for you.
Rinse in cold water, dry thoroughly (pay special attention to his little armpits) and then place him in a bag with a little cornstarch.
Shake vigorously and then tap off the extra when you remove him. Voila, no more sticky!!! This also tames the smell a little bit.

Far more user friendly my husband says.

Much nicer now to have him on my desk and randomly squeeze.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute to see, weird to squeeze. December 13, 2010

The Adipose stress toy is bigger than most stress balls, and a very good representation of the cute little aliens from Doctor Who. It is very very squeezable, but the "goes back to its original shape" claim is a little off. It either takes a long time or doesn't happen, depending on what position you leave the little guy in. It's easy enough to hand-mold him back into shape, though. He's not solid foam, more of a balloon material partially filled with a flour-like substance. His surface is a bit tacky to the touch, but washable with soapy water. He smells a bit funny. But for all those little drawbacks, I really don't care. He's just what I wanted in an Adipose.

3.0 out of 5 stars Smelly and sticky December 26, 2010

When I saw this Adipose Stress Toy, I needed it! When I received this Adipose Stress Toy, I was a bit disappointed. For one, the little mouth is barely painted on (it really looks terrible) and one of the eyes is very smudged (it's more like a feathered oval than a circle). For the price tag, this thing should look awesome! Two, this little guy smells very badly of rubbery chemical-ness. Three, it is very tacky when you squeeze it (like if you threw it at the wall it would probably stick) and it picks up all kinds of little fuzzies and what-not. I understand that it's a little glob of fat, but still! I wish that it looked as adorable as it does in the picture, but sadly, it does not :(
