I love crunchy stress balls, so the sound and texture of this one is so satisfying! Plus, you can either keep it loose or suck the air out for a different experience!

I have one like this in the pretty blue! I would say it's more of a slushy sound instead of crunchy, but the skin texture and sand filling keeps me coming back often to squeeze it!
