What Is a Slow-Rising Squishy? A Simple Guide to TPR Squishies
A slow-rising squishy is a soft toy that you can press flat and that then takes its time returning to its original shape. That slow, steady rebound is what makes squishies satisfying to squeeze again and again.
What is TPR?
Our squishies are made from TPR, short for thermoplastic rubber. TPR is soft and flexible: it compresses when you squeeze it and springs back slowly when you let go. It also has a smooth surface that feels pleasant in the hand.
How slow-rise works
When you squeeze a slow-rising squishy, it flattens under the pressure. Once you release it, it gradually rebuilds its shape. How long that takes depends on how hard and how long you press.
Where people use them
On a desk, as a quiet fidget during calls and meetings
In a bag or pocket, to have something to squeeze on the go
On a shelf or desk as fun, food-shaped decor
How to care for your squishy
