New to Slime?

Not a problem! Here you can find everything you need to know about slime and whether or not it's right for you. If you didn't find what you were looking for check out our FAQs section.

  1. Before you play with your slime:
    Make sure you wash and dry your hands both before and after playing with slime. Do not use hand sanitizer - that will make the slime get very sticky.
  2. What to do when you first open your slime:
    Enjoy the aroma! We made sure it's smells amazing - like if you were to meet your slime character in person, this is exactly what we envisioned their scent to be! After that test the slime using one finger to poke into the jar and test to see how it feels.
  3. My slime feels sticky!
    That's ok, when it's warm the slime tends to melt. All you need to do is add activator (either your own or our included "Phancy Fix") one spray at a time and gently work it into the slime. It's easiest if you do it all while the slime is still in it's jar.
  4. What if my slime feels stiff?
    That's ok too! When it's cold the slime tends to stiffen up a bit. Just put it in a warm/room temperature area for a few hours and let it soften up. Do not use a microwave, heat gun, hair dryer, heater, or any other external heat source in an attempt to speed up the process. If you have a stiff white glue and/or butter slime it is recommended to use a small amount of unscented lotion and massage it in gradually until it softens.
  5. I added too much activator and now my slime feels like it's melted (what we refer to as over-activated)...
    Add some glycerin one drop at a time and mix until your slime feels soft again.
  6. How old do I have to be to play with slime? 
    There's no age limit as to how old you can be! There is however an 18 years or older purchasing limitation, and we recommend this product for those that are 13 years and older. If you choose to let any children play with this product we are not liable for any injuries/medical conditions/reactions/death and highly recommend strict adult supervision during play.
  7. What's the best way to play with slime?
    Only play with slime on clean and flat surfaces! Grainy surfaces like wood will get slime inside the cracks. We are not liable for any damages caused by the slime. You can squeeze, fold, twist, and roll up your slime in any way you want! If you do it right you might even get some satisfying popping sounds caused by trapped air! For higher difficulty slime we recommend playing with it using short and quick movements to prevent it from sticking to your hands. Feel free to add more activator as you see fit during play since it'll start to melt the more you play with it. 
  8. What do you mean by higher difficulty slime? 
    Check out our handy-dandy table below at the bottom of the page! We listed down each slime type with their associated skill level (determined by how quickly the slime gets sticky and the possibility of fallout) as well as their relative grip strength requirement (based on our own personal opinion). 
  9. I'm done playing with my slime! What should I do?
    Put the slime back into the jar they came in. If the slime inflated during play you can use any airtight container, or purchase a second jar from us as extra storage. Inflated slime will deflate over the course of a few days. Clear slime will form bubbles and potentially change color during play - once you store this slime it'll take a few days for it to clear back up.
  10. My slime doesn't feel good anymore and I can't get it to activate :(
    Ah, the most dreaded thing to occur to anyone that loves slime. Normally you can play with them for a few months (we've seen ours last up to 8 months with play!) using good care techniques, but unfortunately not everything lasts forever... That's why we include the trading cards in each of our slimes. As a way for you to remember the slime and the good times you had with it! Please remember to recycle the jars they came in as well as the card if you choose to not keep it.
