Squishies have come a long way from simple foam shapes. Today there's a squishy for every kind of squeezer, from slow and dreamy to loud and crunchy. If you're shopping for yourself or picking a gift, here's a quick guide to the most popular types.
| Type | How it feels | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Slow-rise foam | Soft, sinks in and slowly puffs back up | Calm, quiet fidgeting |
| Mochi | Small, stretchy, jelly-like | Pocket-size play and collecting |
| Crunchy | Satisfying crunch when you squeeze | Sensory fans who love sound |
| Butter-style | Smooth, rich, buttery squeeze | People who love a soft, thick texture |
| Specialty textures | Oil-style, jelly or mixed textures | Trend lovers and collectors |
Slow-rise foam squishies
The classic. You squeeze them flat and watch them slowly rise back to shape. They're often shaped like food, animals or cute characters and are perfect for quiet, calming play at a desk or in the car.
Mochi squishies
Small, soft and stretchy, mochi squishies fit in a pocket or backpack. Their jelly-like feel makes them a favorite for collecting and trading.
Crunchy squishies
One of the biggest trends right now. Crunchy squishies give a satisfying crunch with every squeeze, which makes them a hit with anyone who loves ASMR-style sounds and textures. Our Blue Crunchy Butter Squishy combines that crunch with a smooth, buttery feel.
Butter-style squishies
Butter squishies have a thick, smooth, almost creamy squeeze. They feel rich in your hand and are great for slow, relaxing play.
Specialty and trend textures
New textures appear all the time, from oil-style squishies to jelly and mixed-texture designs. Our Coconut Oil Squishy is a great example of a trend texture that's fun to squeeze and fun to look at.
How to choose a squishy as a gift
- Know their style: Quiet and calm? Go slow-rise or butter. Loves sound and sensation? Go crunchy.
- Check the age: Always follow the age label on the product, and keep small squishies away from young children who put things in their mouths.
- Think collectible: Limited monthly drops make squishies feel special, because once a design is gone, it's gone.
- Add a personal touch: Pair a squishy with something personalized, like our custom name keyboard clicker.
