Slime Care

IMPORTANT: As delicious as they may appear, SLIME IS NOT EDIBLE! Please wash your hands before and after handling slime. After playing, store the slime back in its original packaging or it will dry up and become hard. Our slimes are intended for individuals aged 7 or older. Children must be supervised when handling slime or borax.

Handmade slime is composed of different ingredients to store-bought slime. As such, it is a perishable item. Handmade slime typically lasts 2-6 months depending on type, handling, and care.

When you first receive your slime, perform a "1 finger test" to make sure it is not too sticky -- upon opening the jar, very quickly poke the slime with one finger to gauge stickiness. If the slime feels firm and doesn't stick or cling to your fingers, it should be ready to play. Please follow the steps below if the slime is sticky or too stiff --

If your slime is STICKY -- If it's hot out, place the slime into the fridge for 30+ minutes to let it cool, then let thaw at room temperature for 5 minutes before opening. If refrigeration doesn't work, empty the enclosed borax powder into 1/2 cup warm water and dissolve completely with warm water until no borax granules are visible to create a "slime activator solution". Do not add undiluted borax powder into slime or it will be ruined -- the powder must be diluted with water before use. Incorporate and knead 1-2 teaspoons of the resulting activator solution into the slime. Add more – 0.5 teaspoon at a time – if needed. Do NOT add too much or the slime will become stiff. Slime can be naturally sticky since it is made from glue, so try handling it in quick motions. Store the remaining solution in a clearly labelled bottle or jar for future use as handmade slime can melt over time. Do not eat borax powder or drink borax activator solution.

If your slime is STIFF -- If your area is experiencing cooler weather, please note that slime does tend to harden/stiffen in cold weather. Please let your slime sit, in its sealed container, at room temperature or in a warm spot for a few hours to thaw. When you open your slime, try warming up the slime with your hands by massaging it for a few minutes. If the slime feels cold or stiff, please start by playing with the slime in slower motions. Since slime naturally softens over time, you may simply leave the slime to liquify and soften in the container for 2-7 days in a warm environment.

If your slime is DEFLATING -- Please note that slime naturally deflates over time or with extensive play. To restore a deflated slime, empty the enclosed borax packet into half a cup of warm water and dissolve completely until no borax granules are visible. Incorporate and knead 1-2 drops of the resulting activator into the slime. To inflate the slime, stretch and pull repeatedly to add more volume to the slime. Make sure to store slime back into its sealed container to minimize evaporation.

Stress Ball Care

Unlike traditional solid stress balls, our handmade creations have a delicate, flexible outer skin that requires gentle handling. Our stress balls are designed for gentle sensory play, not rough handling or heavy-duty squeezing. Follow these simple tips to keep your stress ball looking and feeling its best.

Note: Because our stress balls are handmade and sealed with silicone adhesive, a noticeable scent is normal and sometimes unavoidable. Rest assured, the adhesive is generally considered non-toxic and safe to handle once fully cured. To help reduce the scent, you may leave your stress ball in a cool, well-ventilated area. The scent should gradually fade, typically within 1–2 weeks. You may also place baking soda, activated charcoal, or dry coffee grounds nearby (without direct contact) to help absorb odors. We recommend allowing any strong or irritating odor to dissipate before use. If you have any concerns, we're always happy to help!

How to Play

• Squeeze gently! Enjoy slow, gentle squeezes to experience the different textures and satisfying ASMR sounds.
• Be mindful of your nails. Long or sharp fingernails, jewelry, and other pointed objects can puncture the outer skin.
• Avoid excessive force. Do not overstretch, twist, pull, throw, or squeeze your stress ball aggressively.
• Use clean hands. Wash and dry your hands before playing to prevent dirt and oils from transferring onto the surface.

• Be careful with textured fillings. Some designs contain firmer beads, cubes, and other add-ins that can put extra pressure on the outer skin when squeezed too forcefully.

Cleaning & Storage

If your stress ball gets dirty, gently wipe its surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a small amount of mild soap if needed, then remove any residue with a clean damp cloth. Pat dry completely before storing back in its original container. Avoid soaking, scrubbing, or using alcohol, harsh cleaners, and other chemicals, as these may damage the outer skin or seal. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or direct heat. Do not microwave or heat your stress ball.

Stress Ball Repair

If your stress ball develops a tear or becomes damaged/leaked, stop using it immediately. Carefully contain the damaged ball and any spilled filling, keeping everything away from children and pets. We offer extra stress ball skins and zip ties for purchase -- if you have them on-hand, please follow the instructions below to replace the damaged skin. Please ask an adult for assistance and do not attempt to replace it yourself.

1. To ensure the filling of your stress ball is easy to handle during the replacement process, place the stress ball in the freezer for ~30 minutes.
2. Once the stress ball has cooled and firmed up, set the ball onto a clean table. You may line the table with a waterproof, wipeable mat or plate to contain any potential messes.
3. Pull the old stress ball skin taut and carefully cut the ball open with a pair of scissors. Make the incision wide enough so that you can easily remove the filling.
4. Remove and safely discard the old stress ball skin.
5. Shape the filling into a compact ball shape and let sit on the table.
6. Using both hands, stretch open the new stress ball skin and encase it around the filling.
7. Remove excess air in the filled stress ball and seal the end with the provided zip tie.
8. Don't forget to clean your surfaces and wash your hands thoroughly after the procedure!
