GooToobz Originals - Squishy Sensory Tubes - Filled with Colorful Water, Glitter | Non-Toxic, Squeezable Fidget | Stress and Anxiety Relief - Triple Sensory Experience! (Rumble Rush Green)

I was really enjoying playing with this. It was very calming. I'm not sure why, but it started leaking just a tiny bit. And that was the end of that. I've got another which seems to be holding up better.

This was a gift for my 7-year-old who likes to fidget because of anxiety. He is gentle with his things and I’m confident he was not too rough with this item, but it is leaking after only a few weeks of light use. It was great while it lasted but I’m disappointed in the quality and the fact that it was one of the pricier fidgets to now have to get thrown away.

I’m an autistic adult, and something of a connoisseur of tactile fidget toys. I particularly like squishy objects filled with liquid or gel, so this looked right up my alley. I really like that they give sensory ratings, as it helped me choose a style (though I still ordered 2 of the 3 colors, and came back for the 3rd as soon as I tried them). I’m sensitive to sound, and generally like silent fidgets, so I opted for the purple. I ordered the blue as well, cause it’s pretty. I justified it to myself because that had the highest tactile rating, but I didn’t really think the glitter would change the feel (it actually does, though!). I also didn’t expect the blue one to make more noise than the purple (I could see the green was designed for sound, but glitter in liquid is usually silent), but it actually does. Unexpectedly, though, not only does the sound not bother me, I actively like it! That’s why I came back for the green one (it hasn’t come yet, so I can’t comment on that one yet).I will say that when I’m actively squeezing the purple one, the liquid moves too fast through the tube to see any interesting patterns from the pearl powder. I find the blue one more visually engaging during active squeezing. However, if I move the purple liquid very gently, by lightly poking or tilting, it does look very cool. Overall, though, if I’m looking for visual input, I’d probably go with blue over purple. To me the big appeal of the purple one is that it’s SILENT.I assume these will break at some point. And when they do, it will be messy. That’s unavoidable with this type of toy. It’s just not possible to make something that’s flexible enough to squish liquid around through the skin but will never break. It seems reasonably well-made, and as durable as it can be without sacrificing flexibility. The material bends rather than stretching, so it’s likely to leak rather than burst, which is the less messy option for such things.

This product is bad if you actually want to play with your fidgets. Not even 2 days after I bought my gootoobz they BOTH broke. I am extremely upset and disappointed about how easy they leaked or even came apart in its own packaging. I don't play rough at all, I'm actually very gentle with my fidgets in fear of breakage. Despite all of that they both broke. It's not like this product is bad tho, it's really fun to look at and play with, it's just not fun if you actually use the fidgets you buy

Great concept but started leaking after about 6 months. The edges need to be reinforced or something. Before it started leaking though it was very entertaining for my daughter. I liked that it was a “sensory play” product without the mess. The price is good but the quality isn’t very good if it isn’t going to last more than 6 months. The size was perfect for tiny hands, almost like the size of a video game controller. I’d considering buying again if they improved the materials and construction.

I love this. It's mesmerizing!!!

My daughter (8YO) got this in her stocking on Christmas. She loved the feel of it, the glitter, etc. I was really impressed and glad that it was so satisfying...but then it broke. She didn't even make it until the day after Christmas and came crying to me that evening that it was leaking. She wasn't handling it rough, either. Pretty disappointing, and I am not willing to shell out the money to replace it knowing you can't even get 24 hours out of it. Believe the reviews. It is cool, but definitely doesn't last.

These are awesome for my students who have sensory needs, also helpful to calm down when feeling big emotions. However, after only a few uses they start leaking. They're not very durable for kids, which sucks because these are super helpful otherwise!
