What's inside a Water Wiggler?

It's a flexible bladder filled with a water-based gel, which is what gives it that jiggly, wobbling movement.

Is it the same as a stress ball?

It's a similar sensory toy category, though the loose gel fill makes it wobble and wiggle rather than just compress like a foam stress ball.
