Slime City Dictionary
Welcome to the Slime City Dictionary, where we break down all the slimy terms you need to know for maximum squishy fun!
Let’s dive in!
butter slime
Soft, creamy, and spreadable—like butter! Butter slime is less sticky than others and perfect for playful, holdable slime fun. Adults love it too for its satisfying, smooth texture.
clear slime
Made with clear glue for ultimate transparency, even when adding colors. Perfect for creating big bubbles and amazing ASMR pops! Keeping it clean is key for that beautiful translucent effect.
clay slime
As you mix the clay into the base slime, it transforms the texture—cloud slimes become cloud dough, and thick, glossy slimes turn buttery. Fun, interactive, and customizable!
crunchy slime
Infused with floam beads for an incredibly satisfying crunch. The beads float to the top overnight, making the first squeeze extra fun! To keep that crunch intact, the base is made slightly stickier so the beads stay inside—no “fall out” here!
icee slime
This frosty feeling creation is made with clear glue and a special blend of fake snow to give it that soft, fluffy, and slightly wet texture that feels just like a frozen treat. The more water we add to the snow, the icier and more slush-like the slime becomes! It’s like the playful cousin of our jelly slime, only with an icy twist. Perfect for cool, squishy fun that you won’t want to put down!
activator
This magical liquid solution is the secret sauce that brings slime to life! It makes glue molecules bond together, creating that perfect slime texture while reducing the stickiness. A little activator goes a long way to get your slime just right for stretching, squeezing, and playing. Slime City wouldn’t be the same without it!
Slime Care
we take slime care as seriously as we do the fun! Here’s how you can keep your squishy sidekick in perfect shape for all your creative adventures:
01.
clean hands, happy slime
Before you dive into your slime, make sure your hands are squeaky clean! Dirt and oils can mess with the slime’s perfect squishy texture, and we want your slime to feel as awesome as possible every time you play.
02.
one-finger test- ready set slime
Give your slime the quick “one-finger test” before jumping in. Just tap it—if it doesn’t stick,
you’re good to go! If it’s a little sticky, grab your activator (we’ve got your back!) and add just a tiny bit until it feels just right.
03.
keep it cool, keep it fun
Slime may love to stretch and squish, but it’s not a fan of heat! Keep it cool, or it might start to melt—yikes! And nobody likes melty slime. So let’s keep your slime chill and ready for action.
04.
slime mishaps
no problem
Oops! Slime on clothes, furniture, or hair? Don’t panic—just reach for some trusty white vinegar, and it’ll clean up in no time. Crisis averted!
05.
too tough, let’s soften it up
If your slime feels a bit stiff or starts to tear. A little lotion will do the trick. If your slime is clear, use some glycerin to get that perfect texture back.
06.
store and score keep the fun going
When the fun is over, make sure to store
your slime in the airtight container we provided. It will keep it fresh for your playtime adventures!
Slime loves attention! Check on it regularly—give it a little TLC with activator when needed, and your slime will stay in prime condition, always ready for its next squeeze.
Our slime is lovingly handmade, each batch crafted with care for that perfect squishy goodness. Not only is it fun, but squeezing and playing with it can help melt away stress and tension, leaving you feeling relaxed and happy. Just a heads-up—small parts aren’t for little ones or pets, so keep your slime away from babies, and furry friends.
Slime City—where fun and slime come together, stress melts away, and adventure is always around the corner!
