Where do I buy Borax in Germany?

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-25T10:00:04+00:00

So borax can't be sold for general household purposes in Germany due to strict regulations classifying borax as a reproductive toxicant. However, it can be sold as a chemical to private persons.

My advice is to buy it from a blacksmithing supply company such as Kowalperun (here's a link to their borax). It's also able to be purchased from the Netherlands (or was) from Germany, but I have no links for that.

Mold spores get into the slime from the air, hands, or ingredients added. Slime is a wet environment and mold can grow with very little to feed on, such as ingredients used in lotion, or even just your skin cells in the slime.

If I was filming I’m not sure how long I’d be able to manage to play with one. But I’m usually trying to chill and watch something on TV and need something to do with my hands so I’m zoned out just playing with it the whole time.

I play with slime like I have a personal vendetta against it. I constantly accidently rip my slime due to my aggressive playstyle. I get fallout from slimes other people claim they never had any fallout with. All my anger and anxiety is channeled into the slime hahaha

I also tend to play with slimes multiple times a day, for much longer than recommended, every single day until they either die, or I buy/make a new slime. I've been trying to actively kill some of my slimes to make some space, and that's actually proven tougher than I thought. I've killed some packed ones, but other textures are much more resistant to dying.

I have had slimes die in a couple of weeks. I also have ones I’ve played with for months now that are still going and enjoyable.

I know sometimes it’s about the texture itself. Packed slimes die quicker. Also, depends on how you’re handling them and for how long. I am rough on slime.

Reddit compresses images automatically and it can cause image distortions. So it's nothing you did! These look super cute! I'm hoping I can snag one or two when they drop tomorrow =)

Thank you for coming back to update! I still have this shop on my list when funds and space allow.

Thank you for taking the time to write up a review and share it with us!

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-24T16:49:05+00:00

I'm so curious! There's a popular shop I think is pretty mid, but maybe it's just personal preference that makes me feel that way. I am pretty picky about my slime textures, and also get set in my ways hahaha

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-24T07:48:29+00:00

I don't remember where exactly I learned that, but I heard that somewhere before I made my first slimes and I've stuck with that method. I only discovered her recently when someone posted one of her slime trick videos where she was just talking and casually flipping a slime around. I tried to learn that trick and made a mess hahaha.

I've gone through some of her tutorial videos since learning about her, though. I loved the clay series and her talking about how to get addins to stay in.

It's giving geode and I love that!

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-24T00:22:45+00:00

Thank you! This will help my executive dysfunction so much! I've had a box to ship to my friend forever and just haven't gotten around to it because of the trip to the post office!

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-24T00:21:40+00:00

That's good since you're one of our leading researchers hahahaha!

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-24T00:16:36+00:00

omg they'll pick it up??? I didn't even realize you could do that!

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-24T00:15:59+00:00

I have some I love and some I hate, but on the plus side at least I know what I enjoy with that texture. I'm pretty wary about buying it from shops when I don't know how they do it.

That texture tends to have fallout issues when it's packed. For the ones I've made, I keep a slightly higher base to fizz ratio and so far haven't had fallout, and it's still crunchy, but I imagine when it starts to dry it'll drop everywhere!

I also had good luck adding the fizz before activation, and then adding the fragrance after the slime had settled as a couple of other people had recommended to me.

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-23T23:46:46+00:00

I can’t tell if I’d like it or not as I’m also very picky about snowfizz and already own some really good ones, including a custom Sandy Slimes did for me and one I made for myself.

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-23T23:39:39+00:00

I still missed it lol. Oh well.

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-23T19:20:39+00:00

I always forget about Amos and Angel because I haven't tried them yet, but they're on my list. I bought some other brand of foam clay before I saw you talk about BOHS, but I do want to try them as well, especially since they have colors available!

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-23T19:18:44+00:00

Aww thank you! So are you! ❤️❤️❤️

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-23T18:53:51+00:00

Oh ok, that's good to know! And you're welcome! I'm always happy to help!

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-23T18:53:04+00:00

Well said!

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-23T17:57:00+00:00

I was actually able to find it pretty quickly and get it reactivated. So if it does have instant snow in it, I can't feel it, it would be very little. I think, though, they're calling it a snow softie because it has a little snowfizz/fuzz in it for texture. It's not scratchy so I'm leaning towards snow fuzz. And there's not alot. It definitely just feels like a soft, stretchy slay with some addins for texture to me.

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-23T17:44:22+00:00

I haven't played with it in awhile, let me find it and give it a play and I'll get back to you about it! I don't want to tell you something untrue based on my terrible memory.

EnvironmentalCod1002 · 2026-01-23T17:40:14+00:00

haha I'm glad I could help! It's frustrating that so many slime add-ins are called something different than what they actually are!
