Beginner's Guide to Soft Novelty Toys: A No-Nonsense Overview — Tiddy Toys
Welcome to the whimsical world of soft novelty toys! If you're new here, you're in for a delightful surprise. These tactile treasures are designed to bring a touch of fun and a whole lot of squish into your life. But where to start? Let's dive into the essentials every novice needs to know about these jiggly wonders.
Quick Answer: Soft novelty toys, like our Big Naturals and Juicy Jumbos, offer a premium tactile experience. Made from materials like silicone and TPE, they're crafted to be both fun and durable.
Understanding Materials: Silicone vs. TPE
The first step in your soft toy journey is understanding the materials. Two of the most popular options are silicone and TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer). Both offer unique benefits, catering to different preferences.
Platinum-Grade Silicone
Silicone, especially the platinum-grade type used in our Big Naturals, is renowned for its durability and realistic feel. It's hypoallergenic and easy to clean, making it a top choice for those prioritising longevity and hygiene.

High-Quality TPE
On the other hand, TPE is celebrated for its ultra-soft touch and flexibility. Our Juicy Jumbos are crafted from TPE, offering a plush, fantasy-style experience. While TPE may require a bit more care, it's perfect for those who love an oversized, squishy feel.
Choosing the Right Style
Once you've got a handle on materials, it's time to ponder style. Whether you lean towards realism or prefer a more exaggerated form, there's a soft novelty toy waiting for you.
Realistic vs. Fantasy
The Big Naturals offer a life-size, realistic style, ideal for those who appreciate authenticity. Meanwhile, the Juicy Jumbos provide an oversized, fantasy experience that many find irresistibly fun.
Weight and Dimensions
Consider the weight and dimensions when selecting your toy. Our Big Naturals weigh in at 7.5 kg, while the Juicy Jumbos are a hefty 11.5 kg. Both offer a satisfying heft, but if portability is key, you might lean towards a lighter option.
Why Quality Matters
When it comes to novelty toys, quality is paramount. Investing in high-grade materials ensures your toy remains in top condition for years. All Tiddy Toys are crafted from body-safe materials, a topic we explore further in our guide on body-safe materials.
