I have this one which I use on leg days, or before and after running. Its a 26 inch one which you can work both legs at the same time, as well as your back and shoulders. I also have a smaller roller that has handles on each end to target calves, etc when tight. I've used them since 2014 and the quality is good and it holds up. Seems to make a big difference in recovering quicker and not being sore. It takes a couple of weeks to get used to since the rubber is hard, but your body adapts to the pressure and its almost as good as a getting a hard massage.

Follow me to the truth
I got one cause I had some soreness and couldn't get a massage appointment. Rolled out my body and been 
ever since. Use it 3-4 times a week.

Yes, I use one. I bought one after my physical therapist recommended buying one. I use mine when at home, and the one at the gym after a workout.
It helps to release muscles that are in knots. You can go to a massage therapist to do the same thing, how much money is that?
I mainly use it on my legs and back. The weight of your body helps to press down on the roller. If you have a really tight knot, putting pressure on the roller is going to hurt more. Then, you know it is working.
I got mine from Amazon. Basic one-piece styrofoam thingy.

You ain't lying. I didn't know tight mine were until I started going to an isolated stretch therapist. That and foam rolling have been a godsend.

I roll every morning, it's been a God send since I got put on it a few years back.
Really? Once I go over 350 ish lbs on the leg press I know I'll be in for hell the next day. Or just a nice foam rolling session

I don't have an actual roller, I just use a basic piece of PVC pipe that I scooped at Lowes. Mainly use it on my legs after doing squats. LOL I've convinced myself that I'm a masochist because that DOMS pain be having me like 
while I'm rolling it out, especially when I get that real bad knot and just stay in that one area and work on it. My wife be looking at me like 
while I'm dang near in tears on it, like "well nikka don't do that then" but it hurts so goooooood
