how do you inflate it? I don't seem to have a plug and don't know if I'm missing a piece to keep the air in

It has been too long for me to remember this thing. But there should be a place to inflate it and a plug to seal it. Sorry I am not much help. But send it back and tell them the plug was missing, better yet get your money back.

Used a compressor-stuck tip in ball softly-wife held soft tape around ball until we felt we were close to 42 inches-put finger over hole-then stuck long white piece into the hole

I got a packet with the adapter to fill the ball and there were instructions stapled in the packet. It was a gift for someone, so I didn't actually fill the ball, but was told everything worked fine. Maybe you didn't receive the packet? Mine was rolled up in the ball. Hope this helps.

There is a small plastic piece that holds the air in. To inflate you can use a handheld pump, like the kind if you were inflating a pool float. The pump is not included with this ball.

You are missing a plug. It comes with two. A hand held air pump will inflate it.

there is a very small hole for a basketball needle. You use a bike pump with the basketball needle screwed to the end to inflate...pump up the ball. My son had one when he was little...he's 30 so I recently got one for his neighbor's son. He loved it. The air hole may be hidden so you have to look hard. Very small.

Answer here...The plug should be a hard White peace of plastic. The pump should have a white tip on the end of the blue hose if not you are missing some peices

Yeah I used an air mattress pump. It really isn't a lot of air. You can blow it up with your mouth in about ten minutes. It's super easy.

Use an air mattress pump or an inflatable boat pump. After fully inflated this devise works great. No need to poke a hole anywhere. There has to be sufficient pressure on the valve in order to open it.

There should be two white plugs, each about 3 inches long. One came loosely placed in the air hole and the other can be found rolling around in the box. Check to see if one of them got lodged under the box flap.

If you have already "pulled the plug" on the air valve, use a compressor with a long attachment to insert into the air valve. It will inflate within seconds.

Just unroll it , open the valve and it will inflate, then close the valve. It only inflates an inch or 2.

You have to squeeze the tip while blowing into it. We did it and it stayed inflated all day and still is.

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

you have to plug it into a wall socket to inflate it. I don't think there is anyway to inflate it without plugging it in. I didn't see a way nor did it mention how to do that in the instructions, without plugging in that is.

I found it easy to inflate by mouth but it's getting the thing closed before the air starts billowing out is a problem!! I have yet to get itcompletely inflated..lose a lot of air while trying to close it up.

If you look on bottom there is a hole that allows to inflate (like a basketball). I personally haven't inflated my set, but I think this should solve your problem. Before trying you might check the Yamuna website QA.

I usually just let it sit with the plug pulled out, it takes about an hour. It doesn't fully deflate so you have to step on it. I don't have to deflate it usually so this doesn't bother me. :)

Be sure to pull the inflation stem all the way out to inflate otherwise you're wasting your breath. (I'm assuming that you can't get any air into it.)

Hi: You really don't need a pump to inflate this ball. I blew it up with the little stick that comes with it and my mouth. I do this once in a while because the ball loses a bit of air and gets soft; so I just insert the little stick and blow through my mouth. It's really simple. I hope this helped!!.

I had the same issue and it took a while to figure it out. Since we use it rarely we don't recall how we finally did it. If I recall correctly, the pump mechanism really does not let the air out. I think we took the mechanism off the mattress. You'll have to experiment with it.

a little pump comes with it and by hand or foot you pump it up till firm...and you stick the plug that is removable back in it....very easy, completely user friendly....I've used my ball for years and rarely need to add air....it's the most fun exercise at home you can find!

When u r blowing into the little plug thingys, kind of squeeze it at the same time. It took me a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but it inflates pretty quick once you do. there are 3 plugs, one for the sides, one for the bottom, and one for the horn thing that sticks up. Hope this helps.
