Stress Ball Care Guide
Simple care tips, easy fixes, and answers to common questions.
Easy Fix 1: Release Excess Air
Why my stress ball has air inside？
Stress balls come with different types of fillings inside the outer skin. A small amount of air may naturally be present, and some air can be released during packaging and shipping as the filling moves.
When do I need to release the air?
Some people enjoy a firmer squeeze, while others prefer a softer, airier feel. You can adjust the amount of air based on your personal preference.
How to release air inside?
Always release air from the sealed area. Avoid piercing the middle of the ball, as the small opening may gradually expand during squeezing.

Easy Fix 2: Replace the Outer Skin
Safety Notes：For younger users, adult supervision is recommended. Scissors, needles, and small parts should be handled carefully.
Step 1: Check and freeze
Some fillings may feel sticky to handle during replacement such as [Sunny Corn] or gel-based fillings like [crisp butterfly].
Placing the stress ball in the freezer for about 30 minutes can make the filling easier to work with.
Step 2: Remove the old skin
Before opening, make a small cut and check the filling texture status. Then carefully cut open the old outer skin and remove it.
Step 3：Add the new skin
Place the filling into the new outer skin, secure it with a zip tie. The frozen ball will return to its original state after sitting and thawing naturally. If needed, adjust the air level until it feels just right for you.
Care Tips
Squeeze, don't poke
Sharp nails or objects can put extra pressure on the skin and cause small tears over time.
Keep it in the storage bag when not in use
The bag helps protect your stress ball from dust, friction, and everyday wear.
Store away from direct sunlight
Direct sunlight and high temperatures may cause changes in the material's texture or lead to damage.
FAQ
How long does a stress ball last?
The lifespan of a stress ball depends on how it is used and stored, so there is no fixed timeframe. Following the care tips above can help keep your stress ball feeling its best for longer.
Why does my stress ball feel different over time?
A stress ball’s feel can naturally change over time due to storage conditions, material characteristics, and the filling inside.
Temperature can affect the feel of the material. For example, stress balls may feel softer in warmer environments and firmer in cooler conditions.
The outer skin is designed to stretch and flex during use, but repeated squeezing and stretching may gradually change its shape and feel, just like other flexible materials.
For stress balls with solid fillings, the filling may settle after being stored for a while, which can make certain areas feel firmer. A few minutes of squeezing can help redistribute the filling and restore the original feel.
Can I wash my stress ball?
We recommend gently cleaning your stress ball with a damp cloth or wipe and avoid harsh or corrosive cleaners, as they may affect the outer skin over time.
Can I leave my stress ball unused for a long time?
Yes, a stress ball can be stored when not in use. To help maintain its original feel, keep it in the storage bag and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
