Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This toy is wonderful. -Fill with a 1/4 cup of vinegar before filling with water. The image attached is my toy with 3 month old water in it. Still fresh looking. -Fill it like a bag. Some reviews have complained that it's hard to fill. That's ridiculous. The opening is about the size of a sink faucet- but you can't fill it flat. Hold it from the fill spout and the top of the whale to fill. You might not even spill a drop. -As you can see my characters do not stick together and I did not oil them. I didn't notice sticking before filling with water, but if they had, I would have just filled with water and shook the pillow vigorously. I don't recommend pulling them out and coating them in oil like some do because it really doesn't appear to be an issue once the pillow is filled. An oil coat might keep them from drifting too close together but that sounds like a 20 min process since those things aren't going to come out of the fill hole easily. Filling this sucker with vinegar and water takes about 2 mins. Overall, we love this. My baby loves it, it doesn't leak and it seems durable for what it is. My husband and mom did think it was leaking a couple of times but it was just baby drool.
