Melt Method foam roller question...

[BunnyHop]

I'm a huge fan of the long roller/lying on your back work. Feels so good.

Need to go do it now, in fact.

Lol! Enjoy your new roller!

I looked at her website and the roller she sells now looks identical to the one I purchased few years ago, but just by reading this thread I think it must be a different one? My roller is definitely not bendable. In fact, it's as still as a board. Anybody has a link to a new foam roller, the one that's soft?

I've seen some videos demonstrating the bendyness of the MELT roller. Here's one.

Thanks, Anna. Mine can bend somewhat, but not as much as this one, and it definitely doesn't appear to be as soft as the one demonstrated here. I think I purchased mine at least 4 years ago. I guess I have an older model.

ETA: I bought it in 2015.

Maybe you were thinking of something with Gilad, or Brian Kest.

You are still a bad girl!

I received the new MELT roller yesterday. It smells. I had to put it out in the garage.

Hopefully, the odor will dissipate quickly. If not, I will have to re-name the system.

The SMELT Method.

So, I went to do a MM workout today and as far as I can tell, the new roller is NO softer than my old OPTP MELT roller. It has a smaller diameter, but that is about it for a difference. Well, the new one still smells like chemicals.

I'm returning it.

Bummer!!!

Oh, yuck.

All the nuisance of ordering, and now you have to return it? Blah.

That's such a bummer.

Sorry it didn't work out well.
