Small roller- where to buy?

siobhan08

So i used a foam roller in my gym that was about 10cm x30 cm
Found it very good compared to the big one I have at home.

Anybody have any recommendations of where to get a foam roller of a similar size?

Don't seem to be as easy to come by as the bigger ones.

Are the foam rollers they sell in LIDL any good? The are only 9 euro and are around 32cm by 10cm

They don't have a solid core and they tend to end up looking like an hourglass pretty quickly. They're a bit of a waste.

I have one that size but found the smaller one to be better for me. So trying to get one of a similar size

Better in what way?

Thanks Alf, is there a brand or a size you'd recommend? It's mostly for glutes and hamstrings and maybe back. I've seen ones in TX Max much cheaper than the sports stores but not sure what kind to go for

No brand, per se.

Just one with a solid core. Basically a length of wavin with some foam on top for a little less discomfort.

found it easier to use. I find the larger one can be a bit awkward.

This is the smallest diameter you're likely to find (12.7cm)

Well, for a roller that isn't 'solid' foam

after a while I managed to find this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DAE0KKS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

will likely be not much fun using going by the look of it
