Safe enough that we'd give it to our own kids
Because we do. Every piece in this store is one our own children have squeezed. We test to the same standards we'd demand as parents — and we'll send you the paperwork to prove it.

What's actually in them
Two materials, no surprises
Most cheap squishies have a long ingredient list because they use the cheapest filler available. Ours is short on purpose.
Food-grade TPU skin
The outer skin is a thermoplastic polyurethane rated for food contact. It's what makes the surface smooth, tear-resistant, and free of the plastic smell you get with cheaper toys.
Non-toxic fill
Depending on the design, either a cosmetic-grade gel or a soft foam fill. No phthalates, no BPA, no latex, and no heavy-metal stabilisers. This is why our squishies don't smell.
What we leave out
No phthalates. No BPA. No latex. No PVC. No lead or heavy-metal stabilisers. No added fragrance. The glitter is encapsulated in the skin, not loose on the surface where it could be inhaled.
How every batch gets tested
Testing isn't a one-off. Every production batch goes through the same process before a single piece is listed for sale.
- 01
Materials checked on arrival
Incoming TPU and fill are checked against the supplier's certificate of analysis before production starts.
- 02
Independent lab testing
Finished pieces go to an accredited third-party lab for EN71 and CPSC testing — phthalate content, heavy metals, and mechanical safety including tension and drop testing.
- 03
Durability and rebound testing
Each design is compression-tested to 10,000 cycles with no measurable loss of rebound. If a design fails, it doesn't go on sale.
- 04
Hand inspection before packing
Every individual piece is inspected for tears, seams and finish before it's packed. Anything that fails gets pulled, not discounted.

We'll email you the test summary for the specific production run your order came from. Ask us and mention your order number if you have one.
Age guidance
Our range is recommended for ages 5 and over. Here's the honest reasoning behind that number rather than a blanket warning.
5 and over
- Can understand not to chew a soft toy
- Has the hand strength for the full-size pieces
- Will tell you if a seam looks like it's splitting
- Gets the collecting side of it, which is half the fun
Under 5 — with care
- Soft toys can tear; torn filling is the main risk at any age
- Under 3, wait — mouthing is the primary exposure route
- Supervise closely if a younger sibling is playing too
- Check seams regularly and discard if the skin splits
These are not safety equipment or medical devices. Our sensory pieces are designed for calming tactile input, and parents tell us they help — but they aren't a treatment for anxiety, ADHD or any other condition, and they don't replace advice from your paediatrician or occupational therapist.
Looking after them
Cleaning
Wipe with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Don't soak them, don't put them in the washing machine or dishwasher, and don't use alcohol or solvent cleaners — those break down the skin.
Storing
Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from radiators. Prolonged heat can soften the skin and it may take a while to return to shape. Normal room temperature is perfect.
If it tears
Stop using it and discard it if the filling is exposed — don't try to repair it, because household glue isn't food-safe. If it tore during normal play within 30 days, that's a fault and we'll replace it.
Pets and heat
Keep them away from pets. A squishy is not a dog toy no matter how much your dog disagrees, and punctures from teeth aren't covered by the returns policy.
Ask us anything about materials or safety
If you're deciding whether something is right for your child, tell us about them and we'll give you a straight answer — even when that answer is “not this one”.
