What kind of valve is there? Can it be inflated by just blowing air in with your mouth, or pump is needed?

Anything that can inflate a tire, so the air will not escape like on a toy.The valve is on the back of the jacket also.

The one I got was just a plastic inner tube you can blow up by mouth, bummer, I wanted one with the rubber inner tube!

The valve is the type that you need a bicycle pump. You cannot blow it up by mouth.

I used an air pump. Never saw where it said otherwise. Took a matter if seconds to inflate.

Mine did not come with a pump. It came with a straw like tube. It is very easy to blow by mouth.

You don`t really need a pump, it is not too big. We just simply blew it, did not take long at all.

A pump does not come with the product as no pump is needed. Nothing requires inflation, the product is made of hard plastic.

No pump included in the package which I purchased, but you can purchase a great hand pump at any store or Amazon. It took 11 minutes to inflate and 4 minutes to deflate.

We used the pump we use for our inflatable mattresses. It has a funnel looking adaptor that came with the pump. Filled quickly. You can buy the pumps on Amazon. Ours is a Coleman. Search air pump for inflatables.

You don't need a pump. It blows up with your own breath then you just insert a small plastic tube that's included in the ball where you blew in air and it will keep air trapped in the ball. You can add or take out air this way to make ball as hard or soft as you need. It is very easy to fill.

I would say a bicycle or other air pump is necessary to inflate this - DO NOT try to blow it up yourself, it won't be sufficiently inflated.

No need for the pump. The strange valve-inlet-gate is located at the base of the valve. Squeeze it and blow and you'll find the position it has to be in to inflate. My valve was faulty and it never holds for more than a few hours. NOT A VERY GOOD VALVE OR PRODUCT

Hi, on the side there is air piece that you pull out like on a inflatable raft or a beach ball. I used an air compressor as it will take a very long time to blow it up by mouth.

Hi Alison, The ball should have come with a plastic straw. Insert this into the ball and inflate by blowing by mouth. The ball doesn't have to be inflated beyond what you can do by mouth. Just be careful when you put the white plastic plug in the inflation hole to seal it. This is where you can loose some of your pressure. This may take a few tries until you get the technique. Be ready to cover the hole with your finger after taking the straw out. Take the straw out of the ball while you're still blowing into the ball. Good luck!!

Shannon, no, it does not come with a pump. A bicycle pump works fine to fill with air.

It has a valve that you blow into to blow it up. It does inflate quite easily. However the product did not have a very long life as it began to leak after the first week of using. Would not recommend buying this product.

I have a 12v air pump that I use. When you blow it up by mouth, you have to make sure the stem is constantly pinched so that the internal safety valve stays open while filling it. I, personally, would NOT want to fill it by mouth, unless I had a strong set of lungs! I hope this helps! On a side note. We bought 4 of these. One of them came with a small leak which the company replaced for me. Since then we have had them on the lake, and we went tubing down a river also. They have worked really well for us. Good luck!

I can't tell, but I see air valves. I had it for a couple of years and I never had to inflate them

Yes it has a built in air pump. It inflates and deflates very quickly when needed.
