Rating my squishies

As someone who’s spent a fair amount of time collecting and squeezing squishies, I’ve learned that each one has its own unique appeal and feel. When rating squishies, I consider factors like texture, responsiveness, size, and visual style. For instance, squishies that are too airy sometimes feel less satisfying because they don’t offer enough resistance, causing them to lose shape quickly. That’s why I rated some of the air-filled ones lower. The favorites usually have a dense, slow-rising foam that’s perfect for stress relief. I also appreciate small squishies that pack a punch in terms of squishiness despite their size—they’re great for carrying around and using anytime. Squishies inspired by food, like boba or dumplings, trigger a fun sense of playfulness and sometimes even make me hungry, which adds to their charm! Additionally, tactile features like glitter or soft coatings can make squishies more visually appealing and pleasant to touch, though sometimes they can be a bit slippery. Some squishies even have the fun addition of lights, but they must balance novelty and squishability to maintain a good score. Overall, it’s important for any squishy lover to try a variety and see which textures and designs personally bring joy and stress relief. My ratings reflect not only performance but also the emotional connection and delight each squishy brings into my daily routine.
