This toy delivers! It looked good on TV, but you can't really understand the sensation of this toy until you dip your hands into Orbeez. What an excellent idea to put your feet into these amazing little things. Love it. We're already buying refills after a week of obsession.

I found little wet beads all over the room for awhile. They don't stain or hurt anything, but it was annoying. I like that the beads can be recycled by using them in the bottom of potted plant containers to promote moisture retention. I don't like having to replace them with new beads after each use. It comes with a lot of replacement beads. To be honest, the beads add unnecessary complexity to the foot spa process. The beads cannot go down the sink. I recommend skipping this product and just getting a nice foot pan with warm water than...Read more
