I found it easy to inflate by mouth but it's getting the thing closed before the air starts billowing out is a problem!! I have yet to get itcompletely inflated..lose a lot of air while trying to close it up.

Sure isn't. Tried by mouth until I caused a hernia, then tried with a battery operated air mattress pump, both to no avail.

Yes, it is fairly easy to inflate by mouth. It should only take a minute or so. I would advise using the base of the opening as a choke point (thumb and index finger), so that you can rest between breaths; I guess this is the basic technique for inflatable items lol.

you have to blow with your mouth as hard as you can, in the begining is not easy but you get use to it, also the ring doesn't have to be to hard, I wish this help you

Jump rings are best closed by themselves without relying on glue. When you open a jump ring, you hold it with two pliers where the ring separates, then open it by twisting one side either toward you or away from you. This technique makes it fairly easy to close it properly. If you pull it OUT (so that it looks like a large C shape) it is very difficult to get the original shape back. Sometimes I will use my mini crimper to secure the final shape when the ring is still slightly open. As for this glue, it is fast-drying, strong, and my favorite glue. I have found one thing it cannot do: it cannot be washed in the washing machine. I tried it on a dress that had loose embellishment beads; it worked temporarily, but did not last in the wash.

i would definitely use a pump or compressor. it is possible by mouth but that would take a while, depending on how much air you have. lol

Well stated by previous reviewer! Yes, it's very easy to fill up. The trick is to restrain yourself from blowing too much air into it...in this case less is preferred. Also, if you take it with you to the movies, for example, please make a point of remembering it when you leave.

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!

It is mostly self inflating. When you release the valve the matt expands, sucking air in. However, once it's done that you will need to give it a couple puffs of air to your desired firmness. Very easily done. I am very pleased with ours.

Yes, taking it to the gas station works best! We used it at my family reunion this summer, and despite my husband's protests, we stopped and inflated it with an air compressor. It took just seconds, however it didn't leave much room in the backseat for the rest of my family after it was inflated:)

You can one of two things! What I did was, blew up the our ring with my mouth! Only because I forgot my air pump. But you can use a air pump from a air mattress, and use the larger adaptor for the ring, I hope this helped. I use this pool as a baptismal and it works quit well for me.

We used a pump. I would NOT recommend trying to blow it up by mouth as it would take forever. Not sure what kind of pump though, but I am guessing most would work.

Yes you pump this ball up with your breath but it takes very little effort. The ball comes with a small tube that you breath air into.

you can blow it up yourself, its just time consuming... there are about 3 valves; One for the bottom where they sit, One for the surrounding ring and head, and one for the shade. It takes a couple of minutes to inflate.

It's actually pretty easy to inflate, you do not need a pump to inflate it. We used it for a week straight and deflated it every day and then inflated again the next day. It only took a few minutes to inflate manually.

no you can blow it up with your mouth. it takes a little bit of lung but it's not bad.

Not difficult to deflate , if you have a pump / deflator. Depends on how much of the air you pull out or remove , as to deflated size

It is like filling an air mattress. The best way to fill is with a shop vac or electric inflator due to size.

Use an air mattress pump or an inflatable boat pump. After fully inflated this devise works great. No need to poke a hole anywhere. There has to be sufficient pressure on the valve in order to open it.

The vest is easy to inflate, you simply blow into the tube. To deflate you simply push the end of the tube down and press against your body, if you are wearing it. To completely deflate it is easier to lay it flat and slowly roll it up as you deflate it. There is one strap around the chest, sits near the bottom of the rib cage on my daughter, who is 4'9", and a strap that attaches at the section behind the neck, runs up between the legs and attaches to the front of the vest. We found it very easy to use.
