Yamuna ball loses air

One of my Yamuma balls, the green one, seems to lose air faster than normal. I have to fill it up every time I use it, and when I'm done rolling, it is much less firm. I think it is too late for me to return it. My red ball is not so drastic, it loses a little bit, but not as much. Anyone with similar experience?

Hi Michelle,

I have both the red and green, and my experience is the same as yours. I think it is just the nature of the materials used in the balls.

I had that trouble with the Yellow and Red.. HOWEVER I dont have any trouble with the Fitball small balls.. which I recommend over the Yamuna balls.

I dont think its the materials of the balls .. I think its poor valves.
(which sometimes happen on other peoples fitballs.. just not mine

Can you return your ball?

I'm finding the same especially with my yellow one. Unfortunately I found I didn't like the fitballs nearly as well - I found them very hard and unpleasant.


The Yamuna balls, if you look closely, are actually made by Ledraplastic - the big Italian company which is one of the major suppliers of fullsize balls also. Does anyone know of a cheaper source of small balls from that company??

This happened with my red ball. I would inflate it and immediately I would hear air escaping until it had deflated about 20%. I contacted them and they sent my a new ball which I inflated last night and it's still as hard today. They did request that I send the valve back from the original ball.
