I'm getting one today, just having a look online there now. How big are all of yours? I see some 55cm, 65m and 85cm. Which one!?
 
I have the biger one, but thats because I am 6 foot tall!! The 65cm one is fine for an average adult.
Not that I'm saying you're average Rae:rofl::blush:
 
i got a 65 cm one - don't know if i'll use it - my mate fell off hers while smashed on gas and air! My OH loves it though and tends to spill a lot of drinks whilst messing around on it!
I'm 5 ft 4 and the 65cm is fine for me
 
I've got 55cm one and i'm 5ft 6" and it does me fine!!
 
If you're over 5ft 6 it is recommended that you use the 75 cm- it is to do with the height of your pelvis compared to your knees, so if you're on a ball that is too small then your pelvis will be lower than your knees, thus not the best position for baby or fitness exercises.( I teach sports therapy!)
I find that if you're on a ball that is slightly to small for you- sit more forward on it, rather than centre on it- and you should be able to get your pelvis higher.
I have the biggest one too, as I am 6ft.
 
Mine was 65cm - the ones at the bith centre were 55cm. I think its personal pref really. I like a nice big one....:shy:
