What is a squishy? Slow-rising, crunchy, mochi…
All about squishy: the different types, what they are for and how to choose.
A squishy is a soft stress-relief toy you squeeze and squash. Born in Japan, it became hugely popular thanks to TikTok and ASMR videos.
Types of squishy
- Slow-rising: foam squishy that slowly return to shape.
- Crunchy: filled with beads or grainy clay that crackle.
- Slushy / gel: a cool jelly-like feel.
- Mochi: tiny, very soft silicone squishy.
- Plush: soft-coated squishy like our chick.
Squishy help relieve stress, focus and keep hands busy — and they make great gifts.
