In Poor Taste [P2]

[Series Link]

(Yandere x Reader)

[Warning: misogyny, xenophobia, hint to racism, explicit language, asshole male lead]

You were never crazy about spoiled rich men. They were nothing but troubles.

He knew your type. Quiet, agreeable, and a little bit of a pushover.

He didn't say it, but he had noticed your lack of reaction when Tahara revoked your right to the summer break. Truth was, he never paid attention to women like you when he was in college. The quiet ones who took things seriously as if they had something to lose, those were hard to get. He never bothered with those who were hard to get when there were plenty of other options. He liked the sunkissed blondes who knew to dress up in white sundresses and spaghetti straps, those who knew to party on Saturday and yoga class on Sunday. They never put up a hard fight, just the right amount, and when he got bored so did they. In and out of his bedroom they whirled, whimsical and effortless. He never bothered to find out if they were smart or complicated, and if they tried to show him, he'd move on to the next. A part of him felt bad, but the encouraging jokes and nudges of his frat brothers overrode that twinge in his chest when he saw sad eyes following him down the campus walkway. It didn't matter, not if he got the liquor and summer yatch trips.

He also liked other types. Soft-spoken brunettes who listened to sad songs and doodled hearts onto his notes. Fierce raven-haired girls who knew to throw back shots and moved their bodies to the music. The rich exchange girls who, despite their attitudes, knew their ways around his body and submitted to his rhythm. He liked them all because he could consume them, so he said he support women. Those he didn't like, well, they were on their own.

So he didn't mind that you were older and reserved. True, he never bothered with women like you because he thought he could do without them, but now that he was in Tokyo all alone, he could see your values. So, he thought to look.

You were the serious type. Soft-spoken, patient, and reserved. You looked after yourself rather dilligently - your clothes fit well, and you smelled of subtle floral perfume. Your movement when you walked around the school were gentle but decisive - you knew what to do, and you did it quick, as if you always had something better to do. A part of him didn't like that. For why, he didn't interrogate. "Why" was never a questioned he bothered with, since he could do well for the first 22 years of his life without it. When someone always get what they want, they hardly ever want to know "why".

He knew he was brash and bold to ask you out for dinner, but he assumed you knew the implication. He was interested enough. You had a fine body, and you knew how to look good. "Late bloomer" was what he liked to call women like you, the type who took themselves too seriously in school, but then learnt how to be pretty in their latter years. They would know how to relax, to not be so uptight.

So there he sat in a booth at a restaurant downtown, waiting, a little impatient to see that you were late. Perhaps he was to blame to tell you to take your time and freshen up at home. He wondered if you would doll up. Where would you show your skin? Where would you shave? He liked it shaved. His fingers toyed with the small tea cup, tapping its side and running down the curve of its rim.

"Hi! Sorry for the wait... I was caught up with a phone call."

He looked up. There you were, smiling down at him. He shamelessly looked at your body, studying the way the nice dress pants accentuate your hip and ass. Then, as you sat down, he took notes of your off-shoulder top, then the blink of your earrings. You may tried to make it seem innocuous, but he could tell. You dressed up for him.

"Not at all! I just got here."

You kept your smile on. He didn't notice that it was manufactured. He was caught up watching you leaning forward, your fingers flipping over the menu. The way your cleavage was catching shadow captured his attention.

"So, how is Tokyo treating you?"

He didn't think you would speak first. You barely humored any small talks during the day, only giving him just enough.

"It's good, it's good", he mused, "I'm enjoying the new culture and people. It's all very new to me, so I'm excited."

You looked up at him now, your eyes narrowing as your smile widened.

"It's a great city. There's always something to look at. Do you ever miss your friends and family, though?"

He leaned in as well, closing the gap. He could see you flinch just barely as his fluffy black curls almost tickle your forehead.

"Well, of course. I miss my family a lot, especially my sister. She's applying for college soon, and I wish I could be there to support her, you know?"

"You have a sister?"

He was pleased to see you following the script so far. Girls were often intrigued by the fact that he had a sister - it means he grew up knowing how to be sensitive and protective. It was a reliable card to play.

"Yeah, we grew up quite close, you know. I still remember her crying like a baby when I left for college", he chuckled, "now it's her turn."

You laughed softly at that.

"Yeah... she must be so sad to see you go to Japan, right?"

He nods, his eyes flickering between your face and your neck, eager to peer right down your top. You must be wearing those stick-on nipple covers to rock a top like that.

"Oh, she was, but she's more excited to be independent in college. Too excited, to be honest. I had to warn her not to get in troubles."

"What kind of trouble?"

He found himself looking at your lips now. Your gentle voice and soft gaze managed to distract him. For a second, he found himself pausing to stare.

"Oh... alcohol, drugs, bad friends. You know the deal."

"Did you get into troubles in college, too?"

The simple question now seemed so implicative. He swallowed, his adam's apple bobbing, and he saw that you looked. Your lashes flutterred for a second before your eyes met his.

Empty.

You were harder to read than he thought. Perhaps it was the age difference, he wondered, or the fact that your naturally composed attitude had sealed your attraction toward him. He never hit on an older woman before, so he supposed it was only natural that he couldn't catch your energy right away. Or were you secretly experienced? Three years seemed little to him at first, but he suddenly felt self-conscious at your still demeanor. You were still smiling and expectant, but in a different way than he imagined. You were yet to be doe-eyed, yet to melt when she heard about his bond with his sister. How many men had had their ways with you? Did you please them well? Did you moved and squirm under their touch? He felt himself heating up.

"Good afternoon, dear customers. May I take your order?"

He almost jumped. You didn't. Awkwardly pointing to the menu, he glanced at you who quickly said your orders. You seemed comfortable.

Did he lose his edge?

The waiter swiftly left. Lukas felt that the chemistry was disrupted. His keen eyes watched your form pulling back away from him, and he caught the faint perfume wafting his way. He decided to keep his posture forward, staying on the offensive side.

"I guess I did get into some troubles", he admitted, his hand instinctively rubbing the nape of his neck, as if to conceal what his clothes couldn't. His skin was warm to the touch.

"Well, what kind?"

He couldn't tell if you were interested. You were asking him lots of questions, even from the start. Did you want to know more about him?

"Oh, we were crazy. One time, a pledge covered himself in lighter fluid and lit himself on fire before jumping into the pool."

"Ah... so the typical frat bros stuff. I guess I've seen something like that at X. Uni", you nodded, your smile turning a bit cheeky.

He shifted even closer.

"Yeah, we were bad boys. Were you in a sorrority? Greek life is big at X."

You shook yout head slowly.

"No... It seemed very fun, but I guess I was too focused on other stuff."

"What stuff?"

"I was trying to keep my scholarship, so that took most of my time, I guess. I wasn't too involved with student life aside trom the school's art magazine."

"So you are a smartie?"

You hung your head humbly.

"I guess you could say that."

"So what did you do to blow off steam, then? Or were you at the library all day?"

He felt just a bit desperate trying to know you. He knew his bombarding questions were coming off a little strong, but he didn't want to feel exposed and insecure anymore. He had opened up, he thought it would be fair if you let him in a little. Wind down, be less uptight.

"I went to Ellum sometimes."

Ellum, the bar street. So you knew how to party after all. Maybe you did have experiences with men.

"Oh, me and my boys liked it there."

"For troubles?"

He laughed.

"For troubles, yeah. It'd be crazy if we met and never knew it."

"Well, it was all dark and loud in there. Maybe we did."

"Then it's fate."

He felt corny saying it, but the words slipped out anyway. His heart twisted when you laughed at that, your chest vibrating. You lifted your hand to cover your smile, and he saw a glimpse of ink as your top pulled against your shoulder. Tattoos, huh? He didn't peg you as the type to get them.

Seeing that it was his chance, he reached over to adjust the fabric, his fingertips lingering just a moment too long. He felt it, the electric as he felt your cool skin against his own. You were soft and smooth, like a nice spread of butter against crispy toast.

"Oh, my bad, I just saw your shirt falling off a little there."

Your laugh dwindled. You touched where he touched, your chest rising and lowering at a slower beat.

Lukas found himself feeling expectant.

"Ah, well, thank you", you said, your voice more relaxed now. That was a good sign.

The waiters came back with the orders and left just as hurriedly.

"I have a question", Lukas mused, somehow anxious to lose your attention when you reached for your utensils.

"Pray tell."

"What's the best food place that you've ever been in Tokyo?"

He winced internally. Corny and immature, that was what he was being. What a 17-year-old first date question that was.

"I'd say the unlabelled streetfood carts at the open-air markets", you said, your finger resting on your chin for a moment, "I like to go there if I ever have to stay late at work."

"You gotta show me sometimes, then. I love streetfood!"

He felt stupid clawing at any ways he could to compel your interest. You were right there, laughing at his jokes, asking about his family, paying attention to him. Yet somehow he still felt like you were distant, somewhere in an invisible fish bowl, and what he had said to you were muffled through the water and glass.

"Of course, I'd be happy to. But let me know if you are allergic to anything, or if you are scared of seafood."

"Not at all", he confidently shook his head, "I went to Italy last summer, and the seafood was amazing!"

"Trip across Europe?"

"Trip across Europe", he nodded, "I'd say, Italy for best seafood, France for best wine, Germany for best beer, and Netherlands for the best, well, you know..."

You playfully rolled your eyes.

"I see you like to travel."

"Oh, it changes my whole perspective. I really found myself, you know. It's like... I come back a whole different person. I think everyone should travel."

You gave him a strange look. Not a scowl nor a frown. A gentle squint of the eyes. It could be anything. He couldn't decide if he was being too boastful, or if he had said something wrong. Did you not like that? Maybe you hadn't been as well-travelled as he was, and what he said had come across as unrelatable.

"But of course, you know, if your money allows it. It doesn't cost as much as you think if you know how to budget."

The playful twinkle in your eyes told him that you were responding to him, and likely not negatively. Still, he felt more stupid adding on to what he said. He didn't know why, but he felt as though you were looking down on him.

Why would you look down on him?

Lukas may not realize it, but this was one of the rare occasions when he let the "why" bother him.

"Of course, travelling can be great. I haven't travelled much, but I imagine that when I have enough money, I would travel. I have a few places in mind."

"Where to?"

"For starter, Norway."

Weird answer.

"What's in Norway?"

"The aurora borealis."

He furrowed his brows.

"You want to see the northern light?"

"More than anything."

"It doesn't cost that much though."

"Yeah, but solo travelling costs more, I imagine."

"I can go with you."

He felt decidedly stupid and overconfident.

"Wouldn't that be something...", you commented, your eyes casting aside, "well, that's my top destination for sure."

You were growing cold again. Lukas couldn't for the life of him figure out where he was going wrong. Maybe you just weren't attracted to him, but that was unlikely. He knew how good he looked. He may have heard "sorry I have a boyfriend" and "I'm looking for something serious", but he couldn't think of a time when someone had admitted to him not being their type. Not even behind his back.

"Also, you seem to like to drink. Two out of the four places you mentioned was about alcohol."

He didn't expect you to pick up on the conversation. Maybe he simply had gotten into his head.

"Oh, I guess. I did drink a lot in college, but that's just what it was all about, you know?"

"About troubles, I know."

He felt his face growing hot.

"Right... well, I'd love to know what other Japanese drinks are like, too. I've tasted sake, but it was mild. I'm more of a beer and shots guy."

"Wine, too, right? In France."

You had not once lost your composure. He felt like he was squirming in his seat. He wanted to sleep with you, that was clear. He needed to know what it was like to get with someone older than him, even if it was a mere three years. What would you be like in bed? What did you learn from all the men from your past? The unphased facade, the tattoo, the way you maintained your calm upon his touch and his banter... you knew something he didn't. You had experienced things he hadn't.

"Right, that. Do you drink at all? Here, in Japan, I mean."

"Sometimes."

"Hey, it's a Friday night. Do you maybe want to grab a drink at a pub somewhere after this?"

You raised an eyebrow at him, incredulous. He knew he was being brash and bold, but he couldn't help it. You were something he wanted to add to his collection.

Letting you mull over it, he watched your calm face.

"Sure...", you softly agreed, "but only for a little while."

"Something coming up tomorrow?"

Someone to see tomorrow?

Your blank eyes glimmered under the flourescent light for a second. He almost wanted to hold his breath.

"Just some personal affair in the afternoon."

There you go being elusive again. He thought he would have had you in his palm by now, but not yet. Maybe he didn't know your type.

Ranking Plush Cobras 🐍

Part 1: ranking plush anacondas 🐍

"Cobra" is a little vaguer than anaconda, because "cobras" include a specific genus and the common names of a variety of snake species. As such, I'll give them more leeway in terms of color accuracy, but I think the shape of the hood will make or break these snake plushes.

Cobra Stuffed Animal by Wild Republic

Length: 54 in

11/10. I chose cobras after I found this guy because I love him, so much. Her cute little face. Their perfect little hood. They look like they're smiling. I can't see the back, but I think this is a creative interpretation of a monocled cobra, which can be striped. The spectacled cobra also has similar front-hood ornamentation, usually seem more "freckled" than "striped". I think this could pass for a creative interpretation of both. Unlike most snake plushies, the proportion of the head is much more accurate and in my opinion, cuter. Wild Republic really redeemed themselves from last time.

Cobra Snake Plush by Top Toy

1.5m

4/10, this guy certainly has the look of maybe a king cobra, and that chunky head shape so many retailers seem to use for snakes actually fits the cobra. But if I want a plush of a deadly snake I would prefer it have the :< expression of a cobra and the big, charming eyes. Also, king cobras should have round pupils.

Cobra Pillow Snake by Unknown (via whiteblackstore)

2.1m

8/10 This is one of the longer cobra plushes, and he has an excellent shape, very huggable, soft, and does look like he'd work as a pillow although I couldn't confirm whether there is wire in her body. I'll note that even the product photo seems to have a manufacturing defect in one eye. This cobra was found on several websites, but I couldn't find the manu. The cape cobra can be orange, so even that works!

Plush Cobra by Haihuiyuan (?) (via aliexpress)

Length unknown

10/10 considering the size and simplicity I actually really like these ones. They all look a little angry but extremely cute, which is what I want in a cobra stuffie. Not angry as in vicious but angry like you just walked in on them at a bad moment and they turned around in surprise. Again, the cobras have heads the same size as their body, which I think is great. There are no blue cobras (I think) but I will accept this inaccuracy for the sake of cuteness.

Cobra snake plush by iharttoys

1+ m

2/10. My partner described these as "muppet like" and I actually added a point of that because thats a cute concept, but I hate these. I despise cartoon animals with this much white in their eyes, but other than that I think the hood just looks awful, like terrible finds, and the scales look too fish-y because they're big. I wish more plushies had open mouths, though, but I would definitely put fangs in them if I did an open mouth.

Cobra Stuffed Animal by WildRepublic (2)

12in* *standing up, longer uncoiled.

6/10 This small cobra is like the platonic ideal of cobra plushes. Its fairly accurate in color, fairly accurate in shape, and uses simple patterns effectively. Its like an 8/10 for accuracy, but it just doesn't charm me as much as some of the others I've seen.

Realistic stuffed cobra by Aurora (via stuffedsafari on pinterest)

13in* *may be standing up, couldnt find confirmation, looks to be longer uncoiled

9/10 another excellent cobra plush. This is more perfect than I ever could have imagined. The material used looks to be textured with different textures on top and bottom. My only complaint with the toy is the hood should be connected a little lower to match the shape of the head. My other complaint is that I can't actually find this anywhere for sale- I think it was sold out but still appeared on the pinterest page for the online store.

Foilkins Cobra by WildRepublic (3)

54in

7/10 I really like the vibe of this guy. Definitely a more flashy variety, not really trying to be realistic with its gimmick of having shiny scales, but it has a cute shape. Could use a bigger hood, maybe. Adorable though.

Cuddlekins cobra by Wildrepublic (4 or 2b?)

12in* *probably longer uncoiled, unclear

7/10 I have no idea if this is real. This snake is present on the wildrepublic amazon page and I could find no other pictures of it. Here is the saga of what I found about it:

One US reviewer posted a photo (2022) of what they purchased and it was clearly the cobra reviewed in WR 2, which does not have the fancier materials. The WR website has the WR 2 snake as being $23 but the amazon listing lists WR 4 as $55. In fact, a UK reviewer on Amazon from 2023 posted that the snake was not shiny and in the photo it looks the same as WR 2. I do hope people aren't buying for $55 from amazon when it is only $22 on their website- assuming everyone is getting WR 2 instead of the above picture. I did check and confirm the prices for plushes are normally the same on amazon and their website. I also went ahead and reported this to amazon, although I have no idea whether they take action on things like this.

Stuffed cobra from Sunny Toy (via stuffedark)

62in

8/10 Now THIS is what I'm looking for when I see a snake with an open mouth. This guy is discontinued so I couldn't find many details but he appears to be a puppet. I love his little fangs and delightful expression. Definitely a shape > pattern and color design, but it works.

Stuffed cobra from Fiesta Toy (via stuffedark)

49in

10/10 I think this snake has excellent vibes and could be my friend. no notes.

Wild Eyes king cobra by Animal Planet

38in (?)

1/10 I despise this snake. Its so ugly. why would you do this to me.

In conclusion

There are way more cobras than anacondas, and I would say they're generally more charming. I think the hood makes the cobra plushes instantly recognizable, but it also seems to be the only thing that will convince designers to make a snake plushes head a reasonable size compared to its body. Most of the hoods do tend to be a bit fin-ish and the nicer ones have the hood taper down the body.

Cobras dont always have their hood up- they do so as a threat display- so I've been ruminating on the techniques one could use to make a fold-out hood without ruining the plushness of the toy. I have not been able to think up a good solution.

𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞

Elizabeth has to return early for unknown reasons with a fainted Grell. Whatever the hell happened, don't wanna know. [Y] on the other hand decided to stay for dinner. He was also left with a bump on the head after trying to get freaky with Sebastian. At least the dinner is ready. Ciel sweatdropped, “...Did you hit your head or something?”

“Something heavy fell on top of my head. Doesn't hurt much~” [Y] chuckled, scratching the back of head as Sebastian walked in the dining room. The taller male made a request, “Say, you wouldn't mind if I could give a request.”

“A request? And what's that?” Ciel questioned just as Sebastian poured him tea. The taller male patted his child on the head, “Watch Nova for three days while I go on a business trip?”

“Eh? Me? Why?” The earl's eyes widened. “Couldn't you ask Lizzy?!”

“Nova couldn't handle her very well, she nearly gave him more anxiety. You wouldn't want to imagine what happens when she sees cute things?” [Y] questioned. Ciel shuddered at the thought of it, knowing what the male meant, “Fair point…I’ll watch over him since he's a quiet child.”

“Wonderful! Please forgive me for putting him under your care. I'll repay you back for your help.” [Y] beamed before turning to Nova with a bright smile, “You hear that, Nova? Phantomhive will watch over you. It'll take three days. I promise to bring you new toys and books that you like.”

“Thank you, Ciel-nii.” Nova thanked the earl in a polite manner. Sebastian held back his chuckle as Ciel turned red, “I told you not to call me that!”

“Look like this child taken liking to you~” Sebastian teased.

“Silence!”

▬▬ι══════════════ι▬▬

It was time for [Y] to head home. Nova fell asleep after eating dinner. Ciel demanded Sebastian to take the [h] haired earl home by carriage which is a perfect opportunity for the lovers to have more time together.

“I will escort you home safely, Sire [L].” Sebastian smiled. Secretly happy to be able to have more time with his beloved human. The raven haired male then rode the [L] home. As they were on their way to the [L] manor, Sebastian began a conversation.

“A three day business trip. Did something happen at the factory?” Sebastian asked.

“There had been manufacturing or perhaps something else…” [Y] responded while stroking a sleeping Nova’s hair. “I don't know what happened, but I'm sorry that something unfortunate is happening again.”

“Again…? Did something happen while you were there?” The butler questioned, concerned that something might happen to his husband. The male answered, “Just a few scars and lost a leg when it got stuck into a machine.”

“...!” Sebastian flinched. “Are you alright?”

“Don't worry. I was given a leg to help me walk again.” [Y] chuckled. “I've never thought a demon like yourself would care so much.”

“I suggest you stop joking around…” Sebastian pouted. “You're gonna give me a heart attack, you know?”

“You're a demon. You wouldn't have one.” the taller male teased. He got a point. Sebastian couldn't argue with that. The carriage arrived at the manor. The butler opened the door to let the older earl and son out of the carriage. Sebastian smiled, “Have a goodnight, [Y]. See you tonight.”

“...Since you're here, why don't we do it now?” [Y] asked, grabbing Sebastian by the wrist with his free hand. Sebastian blinked owlishly at the male, “Are you sure you don't want to do it later? Master might—”

“Don't worry. When I put Nova to bed, we can get started.” The taller male told the butler in black before leading Sebastian in the manor. [Y] told the butler to wait in his room. Sebastian knows his way in the manor, which means he knows where [Y]’s room is. The raven haired butler seated on the soft, queen-sized bed, waiting for his husband to arrive.

“...The room still looks the same as I remember…” Sebastian mumbled to himself as he looked around the room. He then noticed a photo of himself resting on the nightstand, causing him to chuckle, “He must've missed me a lot…”

The butler perked up when he heard a click from the door. He looks up to see his tall and handsome husband. Sebastian seductively smirks, “Well…? Aren't you gonna strip?”

“I can strip you first~” [Y] purred as he took off his tailcoat and walked over to Sebastian. “Are you ready?”

“You're impatient…” Sebastian chuckled.

“I want to experience it with you for the first time. What if your master demands you to do something sus?” [Y] questioned, laying Sebastian down on his back. The butler deadpanned, “Master is 13, he wouldn't do that.”

[Y] stared at Sebastian with a jealous gaze, “You always used your whore technique to charm others. What if you do that when you're mine?”

“W-whore…?” Sebastian sweatdropped before pulling the taller male’s cheeks, “Don't call me that. And let's get started already, if you don't want someone to be my first.”

“Whatever…” [Y] pouted before leaning towards the butler's neck, “I'll make you satisfied tonight.”

“I'm sure you could— Ngh.” Sebastian cut himself off with a moan when the taller male nom on his neck. How can he forget that this man has sharp teeth? Like how the hell can a human have that?

“Surely it wouldn't hurt, right…?” [Y] teased against Sebastian's neck as he slowly intertwined his fingers with the butler. “You're a demon. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt.”

“S…silence. Don't waste your time talking. Master is waiting for me.” Sebastian scolds the male. [Y] chuckled, “Shall I get to it now?”

“Just hurry…”

“Alright~”

▬▬ι══════════════ι▬▬

“You went overboard…” Sebastian sighed after getting dressed. There's so many bites and bruises on him. For someone who WAS a previously virgin, [Y] sure do know how to get rough. [Y] chuckled, “Say that to someone who nearly peels the skin off my back. Your screams were so unlike you.”

“I just hope I'll be able to walk. I wouldn't want master to notice.” The butler said as he stood up from the bed, only to wobble back on the bed. “Ah. You really went too rough.”

“Good luck hiding it.” The taller male smirked.

▬▬ι══════════════ι▬▬

The butler in black returns back to the manor. Ciel was waiting for him at the study, looking annoyed, “You're late. It's already past my bedtime.”

“Apologies, master. I had to stop on the way when the horses were acting up.” Sebastian lied. He was ordered not to lie, but he wouldn't want his master to know about the experience he had with his husband.

“...Of course one of them was probably upset about their apples this morning. I just probably forgot to feed them.” Oh thank god, he fell for it. Ciel sighed, “I should've just gone to bed then just waited.”

“If you were to go to bed alone, then you wouldn't get ready for bed yourself.” Sebastian teased.

“Enough teasing! And get me ready for bed!” Ciel scolded the butler. Sebastian chuckled, “Understood~”

#AnimalPlanet #2014AnimalPlanetSqueakyZerbraDogToy #DogToy #ZerbraPlush #ZebraDogToyPlush #DogToyPlushies #Plushies #PlushPals

This is a 2014 Animal Planet Squeaky Zebra Dog Toy Plush and it was pretty cute.

The 2014 Animal Planet Squeaky Zebra Dog Toy Plush is in great used condition but this dog toy may have wear, lint, wear on the eyes, and strings loose. .

The 2014 Animal Planet Squeaky Zebra Dog Toy Plush does have a tush tag but not a hang tag and I didn't have the original packing that came with this plush.

The 2014 Animal Planet Squeaky Zebra Dog Toy Plush is 9 inches from the top of the nose on the head to the butt and 11 inches from the top of the head to the foot.

The front of the tush tag says Please note this item is for Pet use ONLY. ©2014 DCL. ©2014 MerchSource,LLC. The back of the tush tag says ALL NEW MATERIAL. 100% POLYESTER-EXCLUSIVE OF DECORATION FILLED WITH POLYESTER FIBERS. Certification is made by the manufacturer that the materials in this article are described in accordance with law. Made in China.

This dog toy plush was soft but felt like it had stuffing inside like normal stuffed animals and the squeaker inside felt oval to circle in shape when I felt it.

This plush was soft and looks well made for a dog toy plush.

This plush can kind of wear the toy glasses but needs to be positioned in a certain way so glasses won't fall off the plush's face.

This is a very cute and unique 2014 Animal Planet Squeaky Zebra Dog Toy Plush that I sold.

Why Every Toy Maker Needs a Teddy Bear Stuffing Machine

In the world of toy manufacturing, especially when it comes to plush toys like teddy bears, precision and efficiency are key. Whether you're running a small workshop or a large-scale production line, the Teddy Bear Stuffing Machine is an essential tool that can significantly improve your process. Here's why every toy maker needs one.

1. Consistency and Quality Control

A major challenge in handmade teddy bear production is achieving uniform stuffing. When done manually, there’s a risk of overstuffing or understuffing, which can affect the toy’s shape and feel. A Teddy Bear Stuffing Machine ensures that each bear is filled evenly, providing consistent results that meet your desired standards. This level of consistency helps maintain quality across large batches, which is crucial for customer satisfaction.

2. Time Efficiency

Manually stuffing each teddy bear can be a slow process, especially when large orders need to be completed. With a Toy Teddy Bear Stuffing Machine, the stuffing process becomes faster, allowing manufacturers to meet deadlines more effectively. This increase in speed does not compromise the quality of the toys, allowing manufacturers to produce more in less time and maximize output.

3. Cost-Effective Production

While investing in a Teddy Bear Stuffing Machine may initially seem costly, it proves to be a smart investment in the long run. The increased production efficiency reduces labor costs and allows businesses to scale up operations. Additionally, by automating the stuffing process, businesses reduce material waste, ensuring that every piece of stuffing is utilized effectively.

4. Customization and Flexibility

Modern Teddy Bear Stuffing Machines offer customization options that allow toy makers to adjust the level of stuffing based on the type of plush toy being produced. Whether it's a small, soft bear or a larger, firmer one, these machines provide flexibility, ensuring that your toys meet the exact specifications your customers expect.

5. Improved Worker Safety

Manual stuffing can be physically demanding and sometimes leads to repetitive strain injuries. By using a Teddy Bear Stuffing Machine, toy manufacturers can reduce the physical strain on their workers, promoting a safer working environment and minimizing health risks associated with manual labor.

Conclusion

The Teddy Bear Stuffing Machine is a game-changer for toy manufacturers looking to improve efficiency, consistency, and quality in their production process. Whether you're a small business or a large factory, investing in this machine can streamline your operations and help you deliver top-quality toys every time. For those seeking reliable, high-performance stuffing machines, Terron India offers state-of-the-art solutions that can meet the diverse needs of the toy-making industry.

How to Clean and Maintain Your Dog’s Snuffle Mat?

A snuffle mat, also known as a sniffing mat or dog sensory mat, is a fantastic enrichment toy that engages your dog’s natural foraging instincts. To keep this valuable tool in top condition, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. Here’s a concise guide to ensure your snuffle mat remains hygienic and enjoyable for your furry friend.

Why Clean Your Snuffle Mat?

A snuffle mat for dogs can collect dirt, crumbs, and saliva, leading to potential health risks and unpleasant odors. Proper cleaning ensures your dog’s safety and prolongs the mat’s lifespan.

Cleaning Your Snuffle Mat

1. Refer to Manufacturer Instructions

Always start by checking the care instructions provided by the manufacturer. Some mats have specific cleaning recommendations that you should follow.

2. Shake Out Debris

Before washing, take the snuffle mat outside and give it a thorough shake. This step will help remove loose dirt, crumbs, and hair, making the cleaning process more effective.

3. Hand Wash

Prepare the Solution: Fill a basin or sink with warm water and add a mild, dog-safe detergent.

Submerge and Agitate: Place the snuffle mat in the water and gently agitate it to help release any trapped debris.

Scrub: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub any particularly soiled areas.

4. Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse the mat thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue. Leftover detergent can irritate your dog’s skin, so ensure it’s completely rinsed.

5. Machine Wash (If Applicable)

For snuffle mats labeled as machine washable:

Use a Mesh Bag: Place the mat in a mesh laundry bag to protect it during the wash cycle.

Select Gentle Cycle: Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.

6. Drying

Air Dry: Lay the snuffle mat flat on a clean towel and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using a dryer or placing it in direct sunlight, as these can damage the mat.

Maintenance Tips

1. Inspect Regularly

Regularly check the mat for signs of wear and tear. Look for frayed edges, loose parts, or any damage that could pose a choking hazard. Repair or replace the mat as needed.

2. Rotate and Store

To ensure even wear, rotate the snuffle mat with other enrichment mats or snuffle toys for dogs. When not in use, store the mat in a dry, clean place to avoid moisture buildup.

3. Use Pet-Safe Detergents

When cleaning, always use detergents that are safe for pets. Avoid harsh chemicals and strong fragrances that could irritate your dog’s skin.

4. Monitor Usage

Observe how your dog interacts with the mat. Supervise playtime to prevent excessive chewing or destruction, especially if the mat is used frequently.

Choosing the Best Snuffle Mat

When selecting a snuffle mat, consider the size and breed of your dog. For larger dogs, the best snuffle mats for large dogs are more durable and offer ample space. For smaller breeds, a standard dog snuffle pad or enrichment mat will be suitable.

Conclusion

Proper cleaning and maintenance of your dog’s snuffle mat are key to ensuring it remains a safe and engaging toy. By following these simple steps, you can help your dog enjoy their snuffle mat for years to come, providing them with the mental stimulation and enrichment they need.

How Toy Certification Labs Test for Flammability Risks in Children's Toys?

In the world of children's toys, safety is the top priority. With young children often putting toys in their mouths or playing with them in unpredictable ways, manufacturers must ensure that every product meets strict safety standards. One of the key aspects of toy safety is ensuring that toys are not flammable and do not pose a risk of fire hazards to children. Toy Certification Labs play a critical role in testing toys for flammability risks and ensuring that they comply with national and international fire safety regulations.

In this blog, we’ll explore how Toy Certification Lab test for flammability risks in children's toys and why these tests are so crucial in protecting children from potential harm.

The Importance of Flammability Testing for Toys

Flammability testing is vital in determining how a toy or its components will behave if exposed to fire or extreme heat. Toys made from flammable materials or that contain highly flammable components can easily catch fire, leading to serious injuries or even fatalities. In fact, a toy that catches fire in a child’s play environment can spread flames rapidly, especially if the toy is made from synthetic materials that are highly flammable.

Given that children are more likely to engage with toys in settings where fire risks exist—such as near candles, stoves, or electrical outlets—flame resistance is a critical safety feature. Because young children tend to explore the world by touching, tasting, and playing with toys in close proximity to their bodies, ensuring that toys are non-flammable is essential to their safety.

How Toy Certification Labs Perform Flammability Testing

Toy Certification Labs adhere to a variety of standards that are set by both national and international authorities to ensure toys are safe for children. In particular, ASTM F963 (the standard for toy safety in the U.S.) and the EN 71-2 standard (a European toy safety standard) provide guidelines on flammability testing for toys. These standards specify the flammability properties that must be assessed to ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Here’s a look at how toy certification labs test for flammability risks:

1. Material Evaluation and Selection

Before performing any flammability tests, a Toy Certification Lab starts by evaluating the materials used in the toy’s construction. Different materials, such as plastic, fabric, wood, and paint, have varying degrees of flammability. Testing begins with identifying the materials used in the toy to assess whether any of them are prone to catching fire or burning quickly.

Some materials, such as certain types of plastics or fabrics, may be inherently flammable. In such cases, toy manufacturers may need to use flame-resistant or non-combustible materials to ensure compliance with safety standards.

2. Flammability Testing Methods

Once the materials are evaluated, the actual flammability testing takes place. Here are some of the methods that Toy Certification Labs commonly use to test toys for fire resistance:

a) The Vertical Flammability Test

This test is used primarily for soft toys, stuffed animals, and any toy made from fabric. The toy is exposed to a controlled flame for a specific period, typically around 10 seconds. The flame is applied vertically to the toy's surface, and the rate at which the flame spreads is carefully monitored.

For a toy to pass this test, the material must not catch fire or, if it does, it must extinguish itself quickly. The ASTM F963 standard specifies that any fabric used in a toy must not burn more than a certain distance after the flame is removed, ensuring that the toy does not pose a fire hazard.

b) The Horizontal Flammability Test

In this test, a toy or its material is placed horizontally and exposed to a flame. The test is designed to evaluate how quickly the flame spreads across the surface of the toy or material. This test is commonly used for harder materials, like plastics or certain types of wood used in toy construction.

Similar to the vertical test, the toy must not catch fire easily, and if it does, the fire should extinguish quickly once the flame is removed. If the fire continues to spread, the toy will fail the test.

c) Flame Retardant Testing

For certain toys, especially those that are designed for younger children or babies, additional flame-retardant treatments are often used. A Toy Certification Lab will test the effectiveness of these treatments by exposing the toy to fire and observing whether the treated materials prevent or slow the spread of flames.

Toys that are coated or treated with flame-retardant chemicals must pass specific tests to ensure that the chemicals are safe and effective. The EN 71-2 standard outlines the conditions under which flame-retardant chemicals must be tested for toys, including exposure limits and performance criteria.

3. Temperature Tolerance Testing

In some cases, toys may be exposed to high heat instead of direct flames. This is especially relevant for toys that may be used in warmer environments, such as toys meant for outdoor play or toys that use electrical components like lights or heating elements.

Toy Certification Labs assess how a toy’s components behave when exposed to extreme heat conditions. This testing ensures that any part of the toy that may heat up (such as LED lights or electrical wires) does not become a fire hazard.

4. Assessing Small Parts and Accessibility

In addition to testing materials, Toy Certification Labs also examine the design of the toy to ensure that small parts, which could catch fire, are not easily accessible by children. For instance, certain small plastic parts, such as buttons or accessories, could be vulnerable to ignition, and their design and placement within the toy are crucial factors in passing flammability tests.

Toys that contain small parts are subject to strict regulations, especially for children under three years old, who may put the parts in their mouths. These parts must be either flame-resistant or protected by a barrier that prevents exposure to heat.

Why Flammability Testing is Crucial

Ensuring that children’s toys meet the highest standards of flammability safety is essential for several reasons:

1. Protecting Children from Fire Hazards

The primary objective of flammability testing is to protect children from the dangers of fire. Given that children are at a higher risk of injury or death in fire-related incidents due to their smaller size and unpredictable behavior, flammability testing ensures that toys do not pose a fire hazard during everyday play.

2. Regulatory Compliance

Flammability testing is mandated by various regulatory bodies to ensure that toys meet the standards outlined in laws like the CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) in the United States and EN 71-2 in the European Union. These regulations require manufacturers to pass rigorous safety tests before their toys can be sold on the market. Failing to meet flammability standards can result in costly recalls, fines, and brand damage.

3. Building Consumer Trust

Parents and caregivers want to ensure that the toys they purchase for their children are safe. When a Toy Certification Lab certifies a toy as flame-resistant, it helps to build trust with consumers. Knowing that a product has passed flammability testing provides peace of mind to parents, ultimately influencing purchasing decisions.

Conclusion

Flammability testing is a critical part of the toy certification process. Toy Certification Labs help ensure that children's toys are safe, compliant with regulations, and free from fire risks. By conducting tests such as vertical and horizontal flammability assessments, temperature tolerance checks, and evaluating flame retardant treatments, these labs help manufacturers produce toys that are safe for children to play with.

For manufacturers, investing in flammability testing not only protects children but also ensures compliance with regulatory standards and boosts consumer confidence. Ultimately, the work of Toy Certification Labs plays a vital role in safeguarding children from potential fire hazards and making the toy industry safer for future generations.
