Our Journey
September 2020
The "Balcony Lab" was born. A group of college students, navigating the pressures of final exams and future uncertainties, began experimenting with materials to create the perfect stress-relief outlet.
May 2021
After hundreds of failed, "bubbly" prototypes, we perfected our signature slow-rise formula. The first batch of CYICTOY hand-crafted squishies was shared among fellow students, sparking a viral "soft revolution" on campus.
March 2023
Officially ventured into the global market. We launched our international platform, bringing our student-designed, premium sensory toys to the United States and Europe, challenging the status quo of low-quality mass production.
August 2024
Achieved a milestone of 100+ original designs. Our commitment to "Human-to-Human" service and high-grade materials earned us a dedicated community of "Squishy Enthusiasts" across social media.
January 2026
CYICTOY has now become a global phenomenon, bringing a "moment of pause" to millions of students and professionals across 30+ countries. From dorm rooms to executive desks, we are proud to be the world’s favorite soft escape.
ABOUT CYICTOY:A Soft Response to a Hard World
Hi, you. Have you ever experienced such moments? Losing focus before piles of homework? Feeling restless in endless video conferences? Or needing a little gentle company when your child is having a tantrum?
We just got through those moments.
The story started during our last semester in college — the hottest, most stressful time of our lives. We spent long days in the library, worrying about exams, resumes, and job interviews. It felt like life was pushing us to the limit.
Without even noticing, we would squeeze water bottles, tear the corners of papers, or click pens over and over again, just trying to stay calm. That restless feeling was exhausting.
Everything changed when we discovered squishy toys. The soft feeling of slowly pressing down and watching it bounce back gave us a small sense of comfort during those stressful days.
As longtime gamers and stress-toy lovers, we tried almost every product on the market. But most of them disappointed us. Some smelled strongly of rubber, some broke after only a few uses, and some bounced back too fast, making the experience feel cold and mechanical instead of relaxing.
One late night, while rushing to finish deadlines, we had a simple thought:
“If we can’t find the perfect one, why not make it ourselves?”
So we did.
Our very first product was honestly pretty ugly — just a round shape with bubbles on the surface and uneven colors. “Rough” would be putting it nicely. But the moment we pressed it for the first time, something felt different. After countless adjustments, we finally created that slow, comforting rebound we had been looking for. That little “ugly ball” carried all the stress and frustration of our day.
And that’s when we realized something important:
People don’t just want a beautiful product. They want something that feels comforting, something that understands them.
From that first imperfect prototype to the carefully refined products we make today — made with food-grade silicone and tested through hundreds of improvements — we’ve poured our own experiences and emotions into every detail.
Life is still stressful sometimes. But now, we have something we wish we had back then.
We’re not just making toys.
We’re creating small moments of comfort — the kind you need in the library, on the balcony after a long day, or during any overwhelming moment in life.
