The Friendly Swede Stress Balls for Adults, Different Resistance Levels

I'm recently in a wheelchair due to degenerative central nervous system damage. I'm also an avid (obsessive?) knitter, which helps me to deal with the constant pain from the nerve damage. Moving through life on my arms instead of my legs has caused some shifting of pain and stiffness from my legs and feet to my shoulders and wrists. When the pain became so great that I couldn't even pick up a hairbrush without stabbing pain, much less knit (cook, type, dress myself…) I looked for exercise balls such as I'd used years before to heal a carpal tunnel incident. What I found, instead, was exercise eggs. These eggs are the second Friendly Swede® product I've purchased. I got them, over other similar eggs, because I've been so pleased with my first purchase: the best, and yet also the least expensive, touch stylus I've ever owned. Once again, I'm completely pleased with both the quality and the pricing of this Friendly Swede® product. While less expensive than others it has been of excellent quality. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. The eggs, themselves, are holding up well to daily use. I keep them in a zipper seal plastic bag--to keep them from picking up lint and debris--in a pouch on the back of my wheelchair. At the first hint of hand or arm strain it's very easy, and discrete, to pull out the appropriate resistance level ball and quietly work off the strain before it becomes problematic. They're completely quiet (my old hand exercisers were effective, but noisy and bulkier to carry around) and fit perfectly in my hand. I also play piano and classical guitar and have hands larger than many men's I know. I bought the regular size eggs (yellow, red and blue), which have been just fine for me. At the same time, the oblong shape of these eggs makes them very versatile as to sizing and my [ADHD] elementary-age grandson is also able to palm one for use in stress control. Again; quiet, discrete but effective. If/when the slightly tacky surface of the egg becomes soiled it rinses easily under warm water and air dries quickly.

I love these little balls. Really helps. Strengthen my hands and it’s sort of fun.

I like the size of these balls. They fit in my hand well. I love the colors. Well packaged and look and feel very high quality. Would be great as a gift. Only negative for me was that I wish they were more squishy, but the material is more of the feel of a hard rubber. I would say they are better for hand strengthening, arthritis and not just as something squishy and soft to push in when you are stressed.(which is what I was mainly looking for) There are 3 levels of resistance and I use the one with the least resistance. Just depends on what you are looking for. I've decided to keep these because I believe they will be helpful to me either way.

These are great--I love how the 1 and 2 star reviews revolve mainly around how people don't read what they're buying and somehow blame the manufacturer ("They're too small!" say several verified purchasers of size Extra Small, and so on--there's even a "Too big" on a size Large order, and a "Look like sand balls but are not sand balls". Huh?). Anyway we got these after a Nee Doh squish ball exploded--the shape and gelatinous material of these totally stands up to our abuse and relieves our stress and fidgetiness (what I can I say? I guess we're a family with great grip strength and lots of anxiety). They also help my carpal tunnel by providing strength work in opposition to my hours of computer use. We just wash them when they get dirty--the texture is really satisfying overall. We have Extra Small and Small, because none of us want anything the size of an avocado (Large). Thank you, Friendly Swede!

I liked these enough that I bought another set for my wife. She took them to her office for her employees to play with in the conference room. The egg shaped exercise balls are a nifty little idea. They, of course, work as a stress ball but they are superior. Their material and shape make them a good exercise tool. The 3 different levels of difficulty that come in the pack vary quite a bit. The easy is something you can squeeze for an hour. The most difficult will wear your hand out fairly quickly. The egg shape of the ball adds a lot of versatility. You can squeeze it facing one direction and then reverse it to use different hand muscles. You can rotate it around and hit different parts of the hand. You can also pinch it between different combinations of fingers and do several other exercises illustrated in the small paper that comes with the eggs. If the eggs get dirty, it is no problem to clean them. I dropped one and it rolled under my couch and picked up some dog hair. I just dunked it is water and toweled it off and it was good as new. The durability to this point seems good. I have been using them for several weeks and they don't show any signs of wear. So, I would recommend these little exercisers. I keep one of the eggs at my desk and one in my car. If you are sitting still might as well be making your hands stronger and releasing a little stress. Plus, they are pretty cute. At least that is what people say when they see mine. Good price on a good product.

These are attractive egg shaped balls. I have been using them to rehab my hands after a long period of inactivity. Can't say for sure my strength has increased because of them, but they are easy to use and the hands feel better, more flexible, and less pain, after i use them . Also two different sets of grandchildren ages 5 to 10 have come and enjoyed playing with them. I just sent them as a birthday gift to the ten year old who has everything but didn't have these.

I have had all sizes of The Friendly Swede's hand therapy balls, and it was always difficult to obtain the "Small" size, so I purchased two boxes of the small, which are ridiculously small, only to read the label and find they're marked "Extra Small", not small as described, and I could have purchased knockoffs for a whole lot less We'll see if they work as well as the small.

Being a petite woman with average-sized hands, I found it difficult to choose between the small and medium exercise eggs. I finally chose the small eggs and they work well, although the mediums would probably fit a little better and I may buy that set, as well. The price is reasonable enough. As the description states, each egg has a different resistance level so you can choose which one best fits your purpose and/or hand strength. They feel comfortable and, because of the slightly rubbery texture, provide a grippy feel in your hand that makes it more ergonomic to use: because there is no fear you’ll drop the egg, your hand won’t tense up. The colors are bright and fun, and these are easy to clean - just rinse in water or, if needed, use a little dish soap. Previously I bought a single exercise egg from a different vendor. No complaints - it is exactly as the vendor described, but it just didn’t work for me because it’s much larger, denser, and more difficult for me to use. The Friendly Swede eggs are much more useful to me and are less expensive, as well. My goal is to strengthen my grip so as to more easily play guitar (especially barre chords!), and I am optimistic that these exercise eggs will indeed assist me in that effort. I’m very pleased with the product and, having bought other items previously from this seller, I highly recommend The Friendly Swede!
