want a 15cm x 90cm foam roller for Getting some self administered massage.
dont want to pay 25 quid for said item.
Are they sold under any other guise than physio and sports stores -the mark up on them must be incredible !
this is of course im missing something and there is infact something special about them that costs 25 quid !
diy shop small gloss roller?
Go find an upholsterers, they should have something and generally pretty cheap
Gloss roller's tad too small and unlikely to take a mans weight

tennis ball, if you put your full weight on it it fekin hurts!

waste pipe is free got buckets of it in my garage but will slip on laminate floor - but i do have an old foam mat , i think a section of foam mat and some duct tape over some waste pipe and we will be laughing
I bought one from this lot on fleabay a while back, tho' I'm not sure they're advertising there now:
8.50 plus p+p
You probably need to check the sizing, but the one I bought was the size yer after, and was the same as the one I'd been using for Pilates, ie v. firm
The 15x45cm one below has been fine for my ITB so may be OK for your calves too?

£13.99 seemed more reasonable to me....
Foam roller? MTFU! 😉
I use a wine bottle (unopened). It's solid, so in the past I've started by not putting my whole weight on it, but once you get to the stage of putting your weight on it you can't go wrong! Failing that, a rolling pin.
