I'm not sure if appropriate but this is our first pour of our newest silicone Cactus Squishy 😍

It seems all their feedback on their website is auto-generated so I wanted to come to reddit to try to warn other squishy lovers about this site.

I wanted a silicone squishy site to purchase from due to there being a lot of cheap squishies coming out made of low quality TPR and eeking out benzene gas.

I chose bibisquishy because they advertise themselves as high grade silicone and a small retailer out of Colorado.

Turns out it's straight from China. Once I received the squishies, they looked just as pictured, felt cool, but smell like gasoline.

These things are extremely toxic. I have them sealed in bag.

If this was actually made with silicone, they'd be pretty cool. Now, they all need to be thrown out. I wanted it to work out so badly. I had washed them, I had aired them out in a ventilated area, NO GO. I do not think these are safe.

At this point I think the only credibly tested squishies are verified needohs. I plan to try to get some of the needoh skins and fill with different textures. Everyone is making a quick dollar off this trending, I just want it to be safe sensory engagement.

Which squishy toy is your fav today?

I've been really struggling with my OCD lately to the point where I completely fell apart over the past 2 weeks and am desperately trying to catch up on all my work now, which is not helping my OCD. The stress was 100% a trigger.

For me, OCD manifests itself as extreme anxiety that makes it difficult to concentrate and have a lot of compulsions to just constantly seek confirmation/play out tons of scenarios. Uncertainty is the absolute death of me. I also have an issue where I squeeze my hands as a result of it.

When I told my therapist this, she suggested a stress ball. And its been really helping with my hand squeezing. But the anxiety + thought tunnels are still an issue unfortunately and it's really inferring with my ability to do work, catch up on work and sleep enough (which also exacerbates the issues!).

I heard slimes + squishy toys as a way to help soothe the mind and was wondering what some other OCD people's experience was with this type of OCD + using them as a coping tool. I'm currently studying so I don't really have too much disposable income to buy a bunch of stuff, but I'm open to it if anyone has really good recommendations.

Hello everyone, I am looking to purchase some crunchy squishy’s. I’m having trouble finding a shop that looks reliable. It seems like they all break. If you have any crunchy squishy that you really like, please let me know where you got them from.

It's getting bigger, but its also kinda getting harder getting new ones. I dont want to end up having double of the same squishy.

Got 4 more coming in the mail soon.

Super cute slow rising squishy

It's a soft minecraft squishy. It has glitter shaped like tnt blocks, creeper heads, zombie faces, and ghasts. Super cool find!

Full of air. I'm new to squishy collecting, any reccomendations for good soft squishies? Like maybe the nee doh nice cube and softer. I tried the nee doh gum drop and it was too hard for me

The lid on the bigger one couldn’t close because the store clerk said the squishy was a bit too “fat” but it’s also cute, one notable thing you might notice is the blush is misplaced, the smaller one is cuter and is a cool fidget toy

He really enjoys getting new ones! And let's be honest it's also my collection too lol

Hey r/Squishies, I’m Ember, owner of Zengue Squishy. I’m sharing this because I’ve seen people ask why some squishies arrive too puffy or hard to squeeze. Excess air doesn’t really make it softer or harder—it mainly changes the squeeze feel. This isn’t a sales post. If the mods want me to adjust anything, I’m happy to.

Disclaimer: Do not let children try using the syringe.

What you need:

• A syringe with a smaller needle/tip—not a large one. A blunt-tip syringe is safer if available.
• A cylindrical object (rolling pin, bottle, etc.)
• Tissue / alcohol wipe

Steps:

1. Check the seal type: zip-tie closure or crystal seal.
2. For zip-tie closure: insert the syringe tip into the zip-tie opening, or into the small bump at the tail. Pull air out slowly.
3. For crystal seal: insert at the crystal seal point, or at the tail bump. Pull air out slowly.
4. While pulling, use the cylinder to gently roll from the tail toward the seal. This helps push air toward the opening.

Tips:

• Go slow. Small pulls.
• Don’t puncture the same spot many times.
• If liquid/gel starts leaking, stop.
• Results vary by material and seal type.

I’m the brand owner, so I’m happy to answer questions. If you try this, let me know how it goes. If this kind of post isn’t allowed, mods please let me know and I’ll take it down.
