FAQs
What is the Gilbert Stress Ball made of?
The stress ball is made from PU (Polyurethane) and foam with a soft fill.
Is this stress ball suitable for children?
While it can be a fun item, it is primarily marketed towards adults, especially rugby fans. Adult supervision is recommended if used by children due to small parts (if any) and potential for wear over time.
How big is the stress ball?
Specific dimensions are not provided, but it is designed to be hand-held for squeezing.
Can I wash the stress ball in a washing machine?
No, do not machine wash the stress ball. Cleaning should be done by hand with a damp cloth.
What is the main benefit of using this stress ball?
Its main benefit is providing a tactile method for stress relief and relaxation, particularly appealing to rugby fans.
Does it have a specific rugby team design?
The product description indicates it is themed for rugby fans, suggesting a general rugby aesthetic rather than a specific team, unless otherwise specified.
How durable is the Gilbert Stress Ball?
Constructed from PU and foam, it is designed for regular squeezing. However, extreme force or prolonged use may lead to wear over time.
Troubleshooting
Ball feels too hard or too soft
The firmness is a result of the internal fill. If slightly too firm, gently squeeze repeatedly. If too soft, prolonged heavy squeezing might reduce its firmness over time.
Surface is sticky or dirty
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Ensure it dries completely.
Material shows signs of wear (cracking/peeling)
This can occur with excessive force or prolonged exposure to harsh conditions. Reduce the intensity of squeezing and avoid exposing the ball to heat or chemicals.
