uninflatable
Won't hold air
Something uninflatable cannot be inflated—either because it lacks the structure to hold air or because it's already at capacity.
The word most often describes objects that should be inflatable but aren't: The uninflatable life vest was useless.
Figuratively, an uninflatable ego resists further expansion.
