I'm sorry, I can't help you, since I can't keep the balloon inflated. Mine sags after 5 minutes, so I don't have your problem!

when I first saw the product on shark tank, I though is was a great idea. I purchased two and gave one away neither works, they don't deflate or the balloon breaks. I think they went cheapo and had made in china or some such. I threw away the one I had, a good example of American greed

I had a similar problem- mine was because I put the bottle with the balloon inflated in the refrigerator. I had to detach the balloon from the pump and wait until the wine warmed up.

It looks like this thread died. Does anyone out there have suggestions on how to deflate and roll this? I'm a single female weighing about 130 pounds and I've had no success. I have sat on it, stood on it, lain on it, squeezed it, put cement blocks on the ends... nothing is working. Help!

I have no problem with my unit. Are you moving around a lot when it is inflating? That will abort it. Also do you have the owners manual. It may help.

Ya gotta make them smaller. Had the same problems then started using less water in the balloons and presto!!! Good luck and enjoy!!!

Thanks for the reply. I ended up putting a small adhesive form pad on the button to make it easier to press. That seems to be working.

The best way that I use to release the pressure is with a chopstick. Put the stick in and push down. Works perfectly.I hope that was helpful.

This one will work but you have to start them first. Meaning a few breaths into the balloon and then let the pump do the rest.

Hi Alison, The ball should have come with a plastic straw. Insert this into the ball and inflate by blowing by mouth. The ball doesn't have to be inflated beyond what you can do by mouth. Just be careful when you put the white plastic plug in the inflation hole to seal it. This is where you can loose some of your pressure. This may take a few tries until you get the technique. Be ready to cover the hole with your finger after taking the straw out. Take the straw out of the ball while you're still blowing into the ball. Good luck!!

There's a small button on the bottom. Seems to work when you press it and blow at the same time.

I am in the same boat. Mine came a bit inflated but not enough to use. Trying to inflate with pump (not provided) I don't feel much progress is happening.

I use a battery-powered air pump to inflate mine. (It can also be used to deflate it.) It uses 4 "D" batteries. Bought it on Amazon, but I noticed that the one I bought isn't available anymore. Just do a search for "battery powered air pump" and you'll probably find something similar. Just make sure that the one you get has different size nozzles so that you can use it with other inflatable devices.

There is a valve on the one side. You should be able to re-inflat with a needle - like one used to reinflate a basketball. Go to your local sporting goods store and they should be able to help you.

I have the same problem, next time I will buy the top loading one. All you do is just push down and the potatoe falls on a plate

At the end of the tube you blew in to inflate it--there is a valve you push in --this will allow the air to come out and therefore deflate the vest. Great vest!

You have to squeeze the base of the inflation valve you used to inflate the collar and press down on it. When you were blowing it up, you should have had to squeeze the inflation nozzle for it to inflate easier as well.

Use the deflate button and roll each side into the middle and then roll up. Not very heavy and fits under a couchHope this helped. Very study and easy

It needs to be inflated with helium. You receive it flat, you need to add air.
