Is this the type of ball that inflates by blowing air into it?

Yes, it ships deflated and you must blow it up. It's pretty much a beach ball.....but much cooler!

Yes but light-up part wasn't easy for kids to do. Only lasted til next day & we pitched it.

Yes it is. it is an ordinary beach ball.It has a light mechanism inside of it that turns on when you bounce the ball very hard.The BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS LIGHT is that it doesn't go off if you bounce it again.It doesn't turn off at all until its battery runs out. And then it truly is JUST a beach ball except that the light mechanism is heavy so it will always weight at one point and even just throwing the thing is all wobbly. No good for catch and no good for vollyball in the pool at night, if you were thinking of it.Otherwise it is novel! Good for red white and blue holidays or starry new years.

Yes, you blow it up with your mouth...however, I have bought three, none of them work...the light inside is either broken when you first blow it up, or it lights up for one or two times for a couple of minutes each, and never works again...

It comes inflated... you can put more air into it to provide more bounce but it was fine for my needs. Its just a little larger than a volleyball, but smaller than a basketball. Inflating it does not make it expand it just creates more pressure within, to create more bounce.

It does not come inflated, it takes a needle similar to how you inflate a basketball or football.

It's a large exercise ball and fills the space in the chair. The instructions actually tell you to pump it as full as you can, and then the ball will stretch and you can add more air. I added air for about the first week until it was what I consider fully inflated. It hasn't needed more since then. Hope this helps.

No it does not come inflated. It comes with a plastic needle you use like you would inflate a basketball. :)

There is a valve you open, and then the interior structure causes it to expand and pull air in. Sometimes you do have to blow a little air in as well, but it's nothing like blowing up a normal air mattress.

Hello, yes. I use the ball with the senior population and have found they really like it. You can inflate it as much or as little as you want. We use it between the legs, and it's especially handy to them because they're able to grip the ball one-handed if needed thanks to its somewhat tacky texture. Let me know if you have any other questions! I do have to add air to them every 1-2 months. Keep the straw that is included to blow it up!

They are deflated but it comes with a pump to inflat the ball. It's not to hard to inflate the ball and the air stays in for a long time

I haven't done it, but I am pretty confident you can use an air mattress pump or something similar. However they are really easy to blow up, easier than it looks, not a lot of air. They are a great buy, super cheap fun!

Yes, the ball was inflated when it arrived. I made my purchase 8 months ago, and it's still inflated. Perfect for my 3.5-year-old nieces's little hands. Perfect "bounce" - when she kicks it, the ball travels, but not the inordinate distance one would get from the really bouncy thin balls. I highly recommend this product; very pleased the quality and durability.

Does inflate itself without you having to blow it up with your mouth? I see both comments below?

It inflates rather quickly. Less than a minute if I had to ball park it. We used it for a production of Willy Wonka for Violet as the blueberry. It worked perfectly and inflated quickly. Hope this helps!

Yes it is just like a balloon and as long as you have a source of air you can inflate it.

I would suspect so: inflating pool-type toys and air mattresses is what this pump was primarily designed to do. I will qualify that with the fact I don't have an air mattress.

You have to blow it up which I did without a pump. It's easy to blow up and the ball is soft.

No, just use a ball pump. That's what I used. Much faster than blowing it up

There was a plug you insert after you inflate the bouncy ball that holds the air in.
