Can anyone shed some light as I am getting very confused about which ball I need. My friend gave me a gym one 65cm, which is OK for my height but it looks very small and my knees are quite high when I am sitting on it. Do I really need to get a birth one?? Thanks ladies

I have a gym one but it's massive. Can you inflate it a bit more?

Your hips should be about 8-10cm higher than your knees when you're sitting on the ball with your feet flat on the floor. You may need to inflate the ball more. How tall are you?
