The good bit isn't the squeeze. It's the ten seconds afterwards.

Push this thing flat with both hands and it stays flat, then slowly, lazily begins to fill back out. That's what slow-rise means, and it's completely different to a normal stress ball that snaps back the instant you let go. There's something about watching it come back that's oddly hypnotic, and it's the reason people squash it, wait, and immediately do it again.
At 28cm tall this is properly jumbo. It's not a pocket squishy or a keyring, it's a two-handed one, which is the whole appeal for small kids and for anyone who wants something with real substance to squash. Soft the whole way through, no hard core, nothing to fight against.
It's a rocket pop, so it looks like the thing you begged for from the ice cream van, which does most of the work on the shelf. Bright, unmistakable and genuinely fun to look at, whether it's being squeezed or just sitting on a bed.
We stock the Big Squij range because slow-rise is a big step up on standard squish. It holds attention far longer, it's satisfying for restless hands, and it works just as well for a nine year old as it does for someone who's had a long day. Quiet, too, which counts for a lot in a classroom or on a long drive.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does slow-rise actually mean?
Squash it and it stays squashed, then gradually returns to shape over several seconds rather than springing straight back. It's a completely different feel to a regular stress ball, and for a lot of people it's far more satisfying because you get to watch it happen.
How big is it, really?
28cm tall, so about the length of a school ruler and then some. This is the jumbo size, meant for two hands rather than one, and it's noticeably bigger than most squishies on the shelf.
Is it firm or soft?
Very soft, all the way through, with no hard core to push against. You can squash it almost completely flat with both hands.
Does it make any noise?
None at all. No squeaking, no clicking, nothing. That makes it usable in a classroom, a car or a quiet room without bothering anyone.
How long will it last?
With reasonable handling it'll go a good long while. What kills a slow-rise squishy is sharp fingernails or being torn at, so keep it away from anything pointy and stop using it if the outer skin ever splits.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it over with a damp cloth and let it air dry. Don't soak it or put it through the wash, since the foam holds water and won't dry properly.
Is it suitable for a 3 year old?
Yes, three is the recommended starting age. It's one soft piece with nothing to come loose, though it's worth checking it over now and then and replacing it if it starts to split.
