Why is Taba Squishy more expensive than Mochi Squishy?
Many people say that squishies bought on platforms like Amazon and Temu are very cheap, so why is Taba squishy more expensive? The reason is that the squishies sold on these platforms are not Taba squishies; they are actually Mochi squishies.
Taba Squishy is more expensive than Mochi Squishy mainly due to its superior materials, texture, and craftsmanship. Taba Squishies are usually made from more durable and softer slow-rising materials, giving them a more realistic and satisfying feel, ideal for long-term use. Additionally, Taba Squishies often feature more intricate and unique designs—some are even limited editions or handmade—which increases both their collectibility and price.

Are all Taba Squishies handmade?
Yes! Every Taba Squishy is handcrafted with care, which is why each one is slightly unique. This also means they may have small differences or textures — that’s normal!
Why is my Taba Squishy not 100% perfect?
Due to the handmade nature, tiny bubbles, slight color variations, or minor shape differences can happen. These are not defects — they are part of the charm of handmade goods.
What material is Taba squishy made of? Is it safe?
Taba squishy is primarily made from food-grade silicone, which is soft, durable, and non-toxic, meeting global safety standards. The properties of food-grade silicone make it suitable for long-term use without posing any harm to the skin or health. It is safe for both children and adults to use. Its elasticity and softness also make Taba squishy an excellent tool for stress relief.
Why does Taba squishy so sticky? Can the stickiness be reduced?
The stickiness of Taba squishy could be due to the properties of the material itself or external factors like humidity or surface oils. The stickiness can be reduced by regularly cleaning the squishy and keeping it dry. Sometimes, lightly wiping the surface with baby powder can also help reduce stickiness.
Does Taba squishy have a smell?
Taba squishy itself does not have a noticeable odor, but the packaging material may carry a slight chemical smell. This odor is usually caused by certain materials or printing processes during packaging and typically fades after opening the package and airing it out for a while. If you are sensitive to smells, it's recommended to place the product in a well-ventilated area for a period of time to ensure the odor completely disappears.
What are the small fibers on the surface?
The tiny fibers on the surface are flocking powder, primarily used to reduce the stickiness of the product and give it a soft texture. The addition of these fibers enhances the tactile feel of Taba squishy, making it more comfortable to handle and providing a pleasurable sensation when touched. The flocking treatment not only improves the surface's texture but also increases the durability of the product, helping it maintain its appearance and functionality over long-term use.
How to clean Taba squishy?
Cleaning Taba squishy is very simple. Start by gently wiping the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust or stains. If the surface is dirtier, it is recommended to wash it with mild soapy water, but make sure the soap does not negatively affect the silicone material. Avoid using rough materials for wiping as it may damage the surface. When drying, try to avoid using paper towels, as they may leave behind paper fibers. It's better to use a soft cloth or towel to gently absorb the water.
How to dry Taba squishy after cleaning?
After cleaning, gently wrap Taba squishy with a clean towel to absorb excess moisture. Then, place it in a cool, well-ventilated area to air dry naturally. Avoid exposing Taba squishy directly to sunlight, as intense UV rays may cause the silicone to age or deform, affecting its appearance and durability. If you need to speed up the drying process, you can use a fan to help air circulation, but never use hot air or high-temperature devices, as they may damage the material.
Whether you're a passionate collector or simply looking for a stress-relieving companion, Taba Squishies are the perfect choice for adding a bit of charm and relaxation to your life.
