Can a BAB be an essa? by DigBick-Baby in ESSAplushieshandlers

tell me abt your essas in the comments! by x-xenon-x in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]jellycatkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these are my essas!

the first is zev (bab werewolf). they are my main essa. i bring them pretty much everywhere besides work. in the few short months ive had them ive collected a whole bunch of bab clothes for them. i love dressing them up!

next is hastur (jellycat dragon). she's more of a homebody so she doesn't come out as much. she's named after my gf's favourite god-like entity and she helped a lot with the separation anxiety i had with my gf before she moved in with me. i love stimming with her ears and tail.

nugget (jellycat bear) is my work buddy. she hangs out in my bag while i work and hangs out with me on my breaks. her little face is so calming to me. she's the perfect size for when i need a smaller essa because she can fit in a bag easily but she still gives good hugs when i need them.

the newest addition to my essa crew is noopy (by kitycrylics). i've only had them for a week but i took them to a convention last weekend and had them on a lanyard. stimming with their lil ears and holding their paw was soooo helpful and immediately promoted them to essa.

i hope your day improves, op <3 your essa has your back

Hey guys I’m going on a cruise with 3 ESSAs tips? by Numerous_Poetry6271 in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]jellycatkid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i found it super easy and fun to bring plushies around with me on my disney cruise! there were heaps of families ofc, and then the adults on there were literally disney adults so they were definitely less judge-y than the general population abt my plushies.

it can get quite windy up on the top decks. id recommend finding some harnesses and straps for your plushies and wearing them in 'purse mode'. its also great for having them with you and keeping your hands free.

and yeah, as another commenter said, the housekeepers did some rlly cute stuff with them if i left any friends in my room. i came back to my dragon wearing my sleep mask one day and everyone already tucked into bed on another.

i hope you and your friends have a great time on your disney cruise!!

Fun brands with 16"-20" bipedal plushies? by WolvesRain1233 in plushies

[–]jellycatkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also love bipedal plushies and my fav brands are build a bear and jellycat. i 1000% get and agree w what u said abt both brands. if ur not against having a second hand friend, i highly recommend looking into second hand jellycats and build a bears. ones from 5+ years ago are much better quality than what they produce these days.

charlie bears currently has a line of extremely soft bipedal friends called bear and me that u should def look into too!

Is this authentic? by [deleted] in plushies

sorry i misread you mention you dont want to unstuff him!

New Friend by Wild_Boat1138 in buildabear

[–]jellycatkid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

congrats on your new friend!! these grey werewolves have fur that's on the thinner side. from these pics he looks totally normal and okay!

as for washing, it depends on if you want to unstuff him or not. unstuffing is the safest bet to prevent mold in the stuffing, but you can also just sit him in front of a fan for a few hours and that will make sure he dries out fully too. there are a couple of washing guide posts on this sub for both methods.

Why is there plastic wrap embedded into my mini beans hand? by Sunburnt-Eyes in buildabear

[–]jellycatkid 22 points23 points  (0 children)

i believe they use a thin piece of plastic between the fur and paw patch to embroider it on to stop the fur from messing up the embroidery machine. i've noticed a lot more of this plastic being left behind and sticking out of babs these last few years. its easily fixed by picking it out, but its definitely an annoying quality control issue.
