Slime Care 101

Welcome to the Ultimate Slime Guide!
Whether you're new to slime or already obsessed, these tips will help you keep your slime fresh, fun, and totally mess-free. Let’s dive in! 🌈

💧 Before You Play

Clean Hands = Happy Slime:
Wash those hands! Keeping them clean helps your slime last longer and stay residue-free.

Is It Sticky?
Give your slime a lil’ poke before playing to check the stickiness. It’ll let you know if it needs some quick TLC.

🩹 Fixing Sticky Slime

Sticky Slime Hack!
If your slime gets sticky from shipping or just sitting around, don’t panic! Here’s how to fix it:

  • For White Glue Base Slime: If it’s stiff, add some unscented lotion bit by bit until it’s stretchy again.
  • For Clear Glue Base Slime: If it feels like it might snap, add a few drops of glycerin and knead until smooth.

🛋️ Set Up Your Slime Space

Slime Safely!
Play on a clean table or hard surface (slime and carpets aren’t besties!). If it accidentally hits the carpet, use hot water or vinegar to clean it up fast.

🛠️ Revive Your Slime

Slime feeling a bit off?

  • White Glue Base Slime: Stiff? Add unscented lotion to make it soft and stretchy again.
  • Clear Glue Base Slime: Snap-prone? Add a touch of glycerin and knead until it’s back to perfect!

🎨 Get Creative!

There are no rules for slime! Whether you stretch it, squish it, or shape it, it’s all about having fun. Let your imagination run wild! 💫

🛍️ How to Store Slime

1. Use an Airtight Container:
Slime loves staying fresh in an airtight container. Make sure the lid is secure to prevent air from getting in, which can dry out your slime.

2. Keep it Cool:
Store your slime in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can make the slime melt or get sticky.

3. Avoid Moisture:
Humidity can affect slime’s texture, so keep it away from wet or damp areas. If your slime absorbs too much moisture, it could become sticky.

4. Separate Different Slimes:
If you have multiple types of slime, store each one in its own container. Mixing them can ruin their unique textures and colors.

5. Check on it Regularly:
Over time, slime can dry out or stiffen. If this happens, don’t worry! You can revive it with a bit of unscented lotion (for regular slime) or glycerin (for clear slime).

⚠️ Slime Safety 101

  • Not Food! As yummy as it might look, slime isn’t edible. Keep it away from little kids, pets, clothes, and furniture.
  • Supervise Kids: Anyone under 7 needs adult supervision while playing.
  • Allergy Check: If you're sensitive to things like borax, fragrance oils, glue, or any slime ingredients, avoid handling slime.

Now you're ready for endless slime fun! 🌟 With these tips, your slime will be in perfect shape for hours of squishy playtime. Enjoy and happy sliming! 💙

Really like the texture of this slime, once you add in the clay piece it becomes very plush and soft

The scent on this one, omg...it made me so hungry. Smells like rich, fresh creamy ice cream!!

best rock slime ever. this base is so satisfying with lava rocks especially. id love to see it come back with even more lava rocks! i love the kind that mmb uses. theyre larger & more chunkier lava rocks that you can actually feel as the star of the slime. i cannot put this one down. I actually randomly crave touching this one. the smell was a risk for me, but it smells SO GOOD. I typically dont buy anything not bakery or fruit, but I cant get enough.

Turns into a squishy butter slime!

It was fun mixing the slime and seeing these pretty clay pieces and getting to mix the gold foil into the slime. Such a nice swirl and I played with the base and topper separately before and that jelly was really nice and juicy. The texture is fantastic and there's lots of bu ble pops. The citrusy scent is one of the best!! Happy New Year!

Such a lovely jelly slime, it has a very gummy thick texture. I love the little dragon charm!! Smells very fresh and tropical.

Smells so nice! The soap shaped clay is so cool and the texture when mixed in is soft and wonderful to play with.

So soft! They have the best packaging and always give lots of goodies! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frog and Sand are Friends

Before clay: This is a wonderful coarse-ish sand slime with a comfortable amount of base to keep the sand from having much fallout. After clay: I agonized for weeks on whether or not I had the heart to squish the world's most whelmed frog into the sand. This is the only DIY sand slime I've ever run across in a slime shop, so curiosity eventually won out over heart -- after all, when would I have the chance to try this texture again? Pics show me squishing the toad after I removed about 1/3 of the slime (I wanted a little extra space in the container for initial squishes).

Final verdict: The scent reminds me so much of my grandparents' very MCM house, but I can't place exactly why. I absolutely love the smell, despite it being very strong at first (this is honestly a smart move by MMB, though, since sand slimes lose scent ridiculously fast!). I'm guessing in a month this will be just a hint of vertiver. There is also a bit of fallout once the clay is added in, but again, clay always causes fallout no matter what slime it is, so it wasn't unexpected at all, and it wasn't excessive. The last time I played with this slime, I realized that the final texture feels a lot like a North American toad, so now I call it my Frog & Toad slime. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a more unusual texture to try out!

This slime is perfection! The glossy base I didn’t wanna mix in because it was so fun but adding the cute little piggies made it even better. The intricate detail on the clay pieces and the soft texture is something I have never experienced before with a slime shop. 🐷💖

The base slime was so yummy that I didn’t want to mix in the seals! The clay seals are so intricate and the clay is super soft. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh my gosh this smells so delicious. I wanna eat it! Love the texture. It did arrive a bit sticky so I had to use the activator, but after a bit of time, it turned into the most beautiful buttery glossy slime! 🧈🍿

Love this one!

I didn’t have any trouble with this slime. I got the teal sand and the woodsy scent. It’s beautiful and smells great. Non tacky, fun to squish the sand in. The mini rake is an adorable touch. I really like that over time the sand drifts to one side so you can mix it all over again. Would buy again!

Water you wading for, this is a great slime!

This is such an enthusiastic slime -- and by enthusiastic, it just wanted to inflate, and inflate, and inflate, even though I was playing with it gently because I didn't have an extra slime container nearby! The scent on this one is amazing; it's not very strong, and it smells like a nice, fresh soap (but not soapy at all, if that makes sense). The base is smooth and soft and very addictive. I've found this to be one of my recent favorites for stress relief; the combination of the plush base and the fresh scent is very calming!

Bobo's Biggest Fan

The inflation and sizzly bubble pops on this slime are INSANE - I can't stop playing with it! MMB has perfected jelly-with-stuff-in-it slimes; I'm already wondering if this is going to end up being my favorite texture of 2025. If you like jelly slimes at all, then please don't pass this one up, you will love it!

Pom-poms aren't just for cheerleaders

Don't pass this one by! The unique texture on this shouldn't be missed. The base is soft, almost plush, and the add-ins are outstanding -- the pom-poms in particular are surprisingly addictive to play with! I haven't been particularly gentle with mine, but I haven't had any fallout yet, and the pom-poms haven't unraveled at all so far. This is definitely one that I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a new texture to try!

Super crunchy and love this scent!

Love this one! A little over activated but it’s calming down and is super crunchy when playing. No fall out and you have to do slow play at first or it breaks but once it warms up it’s super stretchy.

Live hate with this one

I have purchased other slimes from MMB and they’re awesome! This one is extremely tough and way over activated. I’m letting it sit for a bit and have also added some lotion hoping it’ll calm down some and let me play with it more. I got the blue sand and therapeutic scent and that it’s awesome together!

Great scent, tough texture.

It might be because I ordered the small size but when I received it, it was very tough even for a slow pull and would break. I added some glycerin to see if it helps. I still love the scent though! It’s awesome!

You need it!!

I got this slime as a holiday Secret Santa gift and I am so grateful because it's amazing!! If you like DIYs, if you like thick poofy squishy slimes, if you like pops, you need this slime!!
Absolutely get it if you're considering it

Very pretty! The scent is pretty good, people who like cotton candy scents will really like it, the texture is lovely, I love these glow in the dark slimes, definitely recommend.
