 "I Love my Porcupine" Mar 20, 2009
By Margaret C. Ostigny
"mostigny1"
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.

 Depends on sensitivity May 24, 2010
By C. C. Emmons
"greenness"
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!

 A little too sharp Feb 08, 2008
By B. Borkovitz
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...

not firm at all Jan 22, 2010
By bt
i got this thinking it'd be a good option instead of packing up (and possibly losing) my pair of goosebumps, but this is definitely not comparable. while it's prickly (which is good), the ball feels like it's not fully inflated, so i'm not getting a strong massage when i'm rolling it under my aching feet. so disappointing. guess i'll be picking up another pair of goosebumps after all.

For five bucks? Perfect. I'm getting a second one AND buying some for my colleagues for Christmas Oct 22, 2010
By A. Cameron
"Explorer"
I take off my shoes at work and roll my foot over the ball most of the day. I'm a 27 year old male who likes sports massages, and I don't think it's too prickly or too soft. If I want it to massage deeper, I just press down harder. Honestly I got this one because it was the least expensive one on here, but I love it. I'm getting a second one and ordering a half dozen more for my colleagues as a cheap Christmas gift. Surprisingly well worth the $5 in my opinion. If you sit at a desk most of the day, I highly recommend you get this or something like this.
