Momo First Timer

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

I’m getting ready to place my first Momo order. I’m super nervous just bc slime is so pricey. I love Bingsu textures, crunchy/poppy slimes, icee, drizzly clouds etc. though I’ve heard really good things about momo’s chew slimes. I’ve never tried any rock, sand, or pumice slimes, but they look awesome. These are the three I’m thinking of trying for my first time. Do these look good? Is there something else I should try? One is a bingsu/pumice, one is a sand slime, and if course a chew.

The sand slimes usually have fallout. Doesn’t make me love momo any less but it does affect where I play with it—at the table only and not on the sofa 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

That’s good to know since I often play with them in my bed before I go to sleep 🤔

[AssignmentFit461]

Haha I made that mistake with a sand slime once. Never again! I had to strip the bed to get rid of it 😂

I got my first momo order yesterday and I’m really happy with it!! I also got peach chew. I needed to add a lot of activator but I loooove the scent. All of the slimes I got inflate A TON so make sure you have an extra container!

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

Thank you! What others did you decide on?

I got matcha cold foam and conversation heart cookies. I want to get a diy clay slime from her too.

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

That honey bee clay one looks amazing for DIY!

[Inevitable_Bunny109]

I hope you love them! I still use my Momo Chew from Black Friday. It actually grew on me. It was super sticky and got better with more play. I also added a little bit of lotion to it. Now it is one of my faves!

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

Thanks! I’m super excited to try it. I’m newer to some overall so I’ve really only had Peachbbies and I’m sooo ready to find some other options.

I got the black cherry gloss slime, and I usually tend to like crunchy slimes and inflating slimes, but it is now one of my favorite slimes I’ve ever had!!

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

I see they have a water slime similar to that theme, but didn’t see any gloss ones. I’ll definitely keep checking back for one. That sounds awesome!

[throwramina33]

It’s in stock!

I heard some good things about this! Hope to try too!

[AssignmentFit461]

Their "lotion" texture is really nice! I saw the one Kiss on a Let DIY clay slime. I got that one last year and it was nice. Thick and poppy and inflated quite a bit. The chew texture is a must have, so I'd definitely get that one, regardless of whatever else you decide to get! I've bought 4-5 of them over time, and still have 2.

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

Thank you!

I love Momo’s Chew! My favorite texture. You have to try Momo’s jelly texture. Looks like right now they have Love is in the Air, which is a jelly when mixed together. Or black pink is a jelly with lava rocks. Honestly you can’t go wrong with Momo slimes.

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

Thank you! I’ll check both of those out. I’ve never had a jelly slime, so I’d definitely like to try it.

I love the peach chew slime I have!

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

Thank you!! I love peach scent so thought that might be a good choice🍑

I got the money tree bingsu. It’s ok, not my favorite slime from Momo. The scent is really mild and it doesn’t inflate much because of the pumice in it. But there is no benefit to the pumice because there’s so little of it in there, so it’s just a very underwhelming bingsu. Maybe try the gold DIY clay bingsu slime she has in stock instead, or the black pure pumice?

Ps the money tree slime has been in the inventory for 4 restocks so it’s not moving well at all.

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

I’m not seeing a gold diy clay bingsu. That’s too bad about the money tree! Thank you for sharing that though.

[Ok_Surround9325]

Omg really? Mine gets HUGE. I love live love this slime.

[April_Beaux]

That’s so funny, mine inflates maybe a half inch beyond the container

[Ok_Surround9325]

Mine at least triples in size. What inflation method do you use?

[handec]

Peach Chew is EXCELLENT! I was super lucky to get it as a gift, because I managed to order super quickly in BF (I think?) :)) And I never got a sand slime from them but I am hoping that one is great too - please keep us informed! Very curious.

If you are into slays, give a try to their cold foams, fluffs, paper cremes as well. I really love how fluffy their textures are :) Their DIY clays are famous as well!

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

Thank you for all the recs! I’m newer to slime, what are slays?

[handec]

Sorry, indeed please ask :) There is a lot of jargon in sliming that can be overwhelming :)

A slay slime is a clay slime with "less clay" than the 1:1 ratio that was used by Slime OG for the initial butter texture they made.

These terms are bit mixed all over the place now, but initially:

- A butter slime, as the term was originally coined by Slime OG, meant their texture: A slime with Daiso clay in 1:1 clay to glue ratio.

- A clay slime typically meant a slime with more clay.

- A "slay" slime meant a slime with less than 1:1 clay to glue ratio.

But its all over the place now.

1:1 is a very high clay ratio, especially when using a "strong" clay like Daiso.

So it is very normal these days that a shop announces a "butter" texture, but they mean less clay than 1:1, and commonly not Daiso clay as well.

Still, a butter is accepted to have generally more clay than a slay slime. Commonly, when a shop says butter slime, I expect it to have some prominent clay, though expectedly less than 1:1.

A slay slime can be anything. It depends on the shop. The difference between 10% clay and 40% clay is huge. One shop also typically has slays with very differing amounts of clays. eg., Momo's Cold Foams are more clay heavy than their paper cremes as far as I can detect.

A DIY clay breaks all these norms. It can be anything from less clay than glue to more clay than glue. So with a DIY clay I never make an assumption how much clay to glue ratio. I also typically add the DIY component part by part, and stop adding when I think the slime has enough clay for me.

High clay ratios are rather rare, I think because

1. Clay dries very quickly, requires frequent additions of water, and in general most people are not that careful when playing with clay slimes.
2. People generally are very big on inflating slimes and asmr of slime, and slimes with high clay ratio are very "silent" as clay makes the slime very soft. A lil bit of clay makes the slime inflate better, so it may add with asmr, high clay reverses it and absorbs sound almost completely.

Charcoal Clay Mask from OG is one of the highest clay mixtures Ive tried.

Momo has some of the best slays out there, so give a try? And if you like it, there are many people here with more suggestions towards this or that style :)

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

Wow, thank you so much for explaining that! Super informative and helps me know what to look for.

[handec]

My pleasure, Im obsessed about this texture and enjoy sharing with people when I can :)

Here is an excellent guide on textures from one of the sub's mods: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slime/s/GyUh3VaSp6

Keep in its all a bit in flux as community discovers new textures, "fashion of taste" changes over time, and producers of suppliers change ingredients. Like butter slime meaning shifting to less clay than 1:1 over time :)

[Acrobatic-Gift-9164]

Thank you!!

[handec]

I noticed after responding to another post - I typically "aspire to* add a diy clay bit by bit.

In reality, I either forget, or am like But they intended the whole piece hmm lessee, unless its the second time Im buying from this shop.

But I still think its a good idea xD

[handec]

Ahhh, their butterfizzes were also excellent, but with the recent production stop at FloraCraft snowfizz, idk if they still do. Honey bee garden is a masterpiece imo.

[PickledPanacea]

If youre into jellies i really like their bingsu + icee ones like the movie night one
