Ok, I read that some are made of soft rubber, and others are made of highly burst resistent material (like that helps me any). But if they are made of rubber I can't use them because I am allergic to latex. And that is usually natural rubber latex. I would be in really bad shape if I touched it.;( Soo unless I can find one that specifically says on the box that is it NOT latex I can't use them.sigh! Oh well I know on alot of her tapes she does have modifications for those without a stability ball.
Thanks
Thanks

Hi Annette!
I don't have time right now to check for you (headed out for a class) but when I get home this afternoon, I will call Fitness Wholesale and find out what their stab. balls are made of. I don't have my boxes anymore, which MAYBE it says the material right on them??? I'll let you know what I find out. We NEED to find one for you. They are such a nice addition to our toys! :7

RE: Me again!
Hey Debbie....it took you long enough!!! (}( }( }()
Thanks for looking that up for Calico! ;-)
I am sure any information you gather will be extremely appreciated by others with the same problem.
I just can't imagine not being able to have, much less not being able to "touch," a stability ball! I love them!

Anette!
I had a message on my phone when I got home that they are latex-free!!! Woo-Hoo for you! Before I call her back, she said they have the traditional TheraBand balls and also the burst resistant balls. I will need to know your height. Also, MANY times they have the balls on the discount table due to the BOX being damaged! Who cares, right? Let me know if you want me to proceed. In the meantime, I will call to see what balls, if any, are discounted and the size. Let me know what you are thinking. Came back to ask what state you live in as that determines the S/H price.

Okay!
She said you are borderline for the next size up which is 65CM. She said that some people like them BIGGER for MORE stability, but it is preference. She said either would work. If you go for the bigger:
TheraBand Ball is $18.95
Burst Resistant is $19.95
Here is their number should you decided to order by phone. 1-888-FW-ORDER or if you would like to look at the balls first, their website is:
WWW.fwonline.com
I'll be glad to call for you and find out S/H for your state on whichever you decided.

RE: Hey!
Thanks Debbie, sorry that I grew and was taller than you thought,LOL!!:+ I went to the website and it looks good I will discuss it with dh and very glad to see that they actually say NO LATEX!!
I haven't had a reaction in a long time so I don't want to see what would happen now, considering every reaction got worse.
Thanks again!!
