Excellent Product, But they need a better disclaimer
I cannot say enough good things about this brand. I have purchased multiple stuffies from them and they absolutely cannot be beat for the price point. For the quality of the materials themselves, you won't find other stuffies of the same quality at the same price point. This being said the one thing that they SHOULD do is make a more visible disclaimer about how to welcome your new friend home. They come vacuum packed and very tightly wrapped in a plastic bag inside of a canvas bag. This is part of how they offer the low price point - these items are designed to take up as little warehouse shelf space as possible, minimizing that cost. So with that said, you DO need to be aware that upon arrival, you do need to put some TLC into your new friend to make them as fluffy and beautiful as they are in the pictures. The cotton has been compressed into probably less than 1/4 of its 'fully fluffed' volume, and it needs to be, well, fully fluffed. I do NOT recommend simply trying to fluff the whole stuffie as it comes out of the bag, or "waiting 48hr" as it recommends on the packing. You might get OK results putting it in a dryer on no heat, but the surefire way is to just start from scratch. What I do is to just take all of the cotton out immediately into the plastic bag it came in. Then I take that cotton a handful at a time and roll it around in my hands and also use my fingers to just gently pull cotton fibers apart and fluff it up. Yes, it takes a while - I think this one took me about 90 minutes from unboxing to finished product - and there are probably better/faster methods - tumble dry no heat in the dryer, for JUST the cotton, would probably work with the right garment bag - but I don't mind. Once you're done fluffing the cotton you simply re-stuff your new friend, and give it a nice big hug! I personally like my stuffies a little overstuffed so I always buy a little extra to throw in as well, but for the average plushie lover there's plenty of stuffing, promise! But yes, this is definitely information that should be more explicitly presented with the marketing, especially for people buying these as gifts for children. Don't just give this to a kid straight out the box! Take the time to put the love into it and it ill be 50x better. Beautiful design, sturdy fabric, and yes, PLENTY of stuffing!
