What Is a Squishy and Why Is It So Popular? Discover the Pawtoto Touch
Squishies have become a global phenomenon—but what exactly are they, and what makes them so irresistible? From calming stress to providing sensory delight, squishies are more than just toys. In this blog, we’ll explore what squishies are, how they work, what they’re made of, and why Pawtoto Squishies are setting a new standard in quality and safety.
What Is a Squishy?
A squishy is a soft, slow-rebound tactile toy that you can squeeze, press, and watch slowly return to its original shape. Often made in aesthetic, colorful designs—such as jelly cubes, grape bead balls, or glitter-filled blobs—squishies are crafted to deliver satisfying sensory feedback. Whether you’re at your desk, in bed, or on the go, they offer a soothing, repetitive motion that helps release tension and calm the nervous system.
What Are Pawtoto Squishies Made Of?
Unlike mass-produced squishies made of TPR (thermoplastic rubber) that can have harsh odors or poor durability, Pawtoto squishies are handcrafted using high-grade food-safe silicone. This ensures a soft, skin-friendly, and long-lasting product that maintains its shape and texture over time.
Each squishy is:
- Made from food-grade silicone, a non-toxic, durable, and safe material.
- Hand-filled with custom gel, glitter oil, or soft beads
- Free of BPA, phthalates, and toxic additives
This makes Pawtoto squishies suitable for teens, adults, and even collectors who prioritize material safety and comfort. 
Are Pawtoto Squishies Certified Safe?
Yes — and that’s part of what makes Pawtoto special. All squishies are independently tested and meet strict international safety standards:
-
✅ CE certified for European safety compliance
-
✅ SGS tested for non-toxic materials and manufacturing
-
✅ Hand-assembled for consistency and quality control
Pawtoto is committed to transparency and trust, ensuring that what you squeeze is safe, soft, and worry-free.
