Can Flex Rubber Be Stored Unpackaged?
Flex Rubber is a stress relief toy with a pillowy soft texture that can be freely reshaped and rebound to its original form. It helps alleviate stress and anxiety while enhancing focus, making them portable stress-relief gadgets. Usually, it is bagged for storage and play. Of course, many people also wonder if it's okay to play with it bare-handed. My answer is: Not recommended. Let me explain why.
Why must it be bagged for storage?
We recommend storing the finished product in a plastic bag for the following reasons:
- Prevent Surface Oxidation Prolonged exposure to air can accelerate aging.
- Avoid Dust Accumulation The sticky surface of the Flex Rubber easily attracts dust and impurities, which can degrade the direct play experience.
- Control Oil Seepage Extended bare-handed play can cause the flex rubber to release oils faster, leading to greasiness and sticky spots. This is an inherent material characteristic, not a quality defect. The bag helps collect excess oil, keeping the product clean.
- Extend Lifespan Proper storage can prolong the finished product's lifespan by 2-3 times.
- Avoid Other Risks Let's Resin Flex Rubber is suitable for ages 8+, but additives used in the process may pose allergy risks for a very small number of sensitive individuals upon direct contact.
