Hi, I have two of the long full-size Melt rollers, an older OTPT pink one I purchased directly from Sue Hitzmann at a seminar years ago and the new blue one which I purchased from her site online. I was surprised how different the new one turned out to be - it's smaller in diameter, much softer and completely pliable. The new one can almost be bent in half. I don't have a travel size of the new one.
I find that the new blue roller makes a nice difference for me with the Melt method. My older one can be used, of course, as I had used it for years, but now I prefer the new one. It's more gentle and my body 'melts' more quickly.'

I took a class with Sue many years ago at a fitness convention. I didn't buy anything at the time as there was no convention discount. Now that I have some issues, I'm trying MM.

Thanks for sharing the details of yours. When I first got started I was impatient with the wait times (demand was high just as the book came out) and cobbled together my own soft roller using a pool noodle and an old foam exercise mat that I otherwise hated and had no use for. The pool noodle was longer than the real deal, which actually I liked. Eventually the duct tape fell apart so I ditched it.

Hi vintage!
I bought mine last summer so I’m thinking it is the newer one? I ended up attending a live class right after purchasing my gear/online subscription. The instructor of live class said there had been a newer model in the last couple years. She advised people if they were interested to purchase the smaller roller because you can do every exercise on it except the one where you lie on your back. I kind of wish I had gotten the smaller one as it’s more portable. Anyway this might not help you but wanted to throw this suggestion out in case you do decide to upgrade. Sending positive vibes your way!

I ended up ordering the long one. I'm most interested in the moves where I lie on my back. (Hmmm, that sounds wrong somehow...)
