    I work in a drug rehab. The therapists use these. It's more than a simple stress ball. During a panic attack it can help get respirations under control due to the way it expands and contracts etc.

    I don't know if it's revolutionary but it does serve a different purpose than a regular stress ball.

      I understand your point. My skepticism isn't about the effectiveness of anti-stress balls in general; rather, it's about this specific product being marketed as revolutionary. The article seems to use a lot of impressive-sounding words without providing any concrete evidence to support those claims. Nevertheless, I appreciate your perspective, and I do recognize the potential benefits of such products. Perhaps with a little bit less marketing. 🙃
