7 Signs You're Secretly a Slime Addict (And Why That's a Good Thing)
7 Signs You’re Secretly a Slime Addict (And Why That’s a Good Thing)
Think slime is just a passing phase? Think again. For some of us, slime isn’t just a sensory trend – it’s a full-blown lifestyle. Whether you’re drawn in by the crackle of foam beads, the hypnotic swirl of cloud slime, or the buttery spread of clay-infused concoctions, you might be deeper into the slime life than you think.
Here are seven subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs you might be a certified slime addict – and trust us, you’re in good company.
1. Your Hands Know the Difference Between Butter, Bingsu and Cloud Slime – Blindfolded.
You don’t just play with slime – you know slime. You can tell the texture of a Bingsu slime like our The Luck of the Slime from the fibrous stretch of a cloud slime in seconds. The crisp crackle of beads? That’s your daily ASMR fix. You instinctively know when a slime has too much activator or when it’s just right. In fact, if blindfolded, you’d probably do better identifying textures than in a taste test.
2. You Talk About Slime Like It’s a Gourmet Meal.
Smooth. Fluffy. Satisfying. If someone overheard you describing your latest slime session, they might think you were reviewing a dessert. And who can blame you? Our Sleepy Sheep is as comforting as a bedtime treat, and Splat Attack delivers a chaotic glitter explosion that rivals a glitter canon.
3. You’ve Had Slime in Your Hair, Carpet and Bed Sheets (and You’re Not Even Mad).
Let’s be honest. A true slime addict doesn’t fear the mess. You’ve scraped butter slime off your pillow and fished cloud slime out of your favourite jumper. But the joy outweighs the cleanup every time. Because who could stay mad at a tub of Treasure Bay – a pirate-worthy mix of crunch and colour that delivers more joy than any sand in your shoe could ruin?
4. You Use Slime to Relax – and It’s Better Than Meditation.
Some people do yoga. You? You stretch, swirl, and poke your way to calm. The world melts away with every satisfying pull of our Polyjuice Slime Potion Kit, packed with magical ingredients that transform stress into potion-powered joy. Slime therapy is real – and it’s spellbinding.
5. You Plan Your Day Around When You Can Play With Slime.
Maybe it’s your after-school treat. Or maybe it’s what gets you through your meetings. Either way, you’ve timed your day to ensure you get those precious minutes to dive hands-first into squish heaven. And on weekends? You’re making videos, setting up your desk for optimal stretch angles, and maybe even testing textures from our Olympics Texture Assortment – one for every mood.
6. Your Slime Collection is Starting to Outnumber Your Shoes.
Slime isn’t just a hobby – it’s your hobby. You’ve got a shelf (or five) dedicated to your stash. Clear slimes, butter slimes, crunchy slimes, jelly slimes – they all have a home. And they’re all labelled, loved, and rotated like a fine wine collection. Our The Luck of the Slime is the four-leaf clover of your stash – glittery, smooth, and impossible to part with.
7. You’ve Got a Secret Slime Stash (and You’re Not Sharing).
Sure, the little ones think the slime is theirs. But when bedtime hits, the grown-up slime time begins. You’ve hidden your favourites behind the pasta boxes in the cupboard or at the back of your wardrobe. Holi Pop and Splat Attack are yours – no sticky fingers allowed.
The Slime Side Is Calling…
If even three of these signs felt a little too accurate, congratulations – you’re one of us. But unlike most “addictions,” being a slime fan is nothing to be ashamed of. Slime is creative, sensory, therapeutic, and (let’s be honest) downright fun. It’s tactile joy in a tub.

Whether you’re shopping for potion-style kits like the Polyjuice Slime Potion Kit, playful textured creations like Treasure Bay, or crowd favourites like Sleepy Sheep, we’ve got slime to satisfy every craving.
