Cuddle Bug Update – We're Almost There!
11 months ago – Sat, May 17, 2025 at 08:54:15 AM

Hi everyone!

I want to sincerely thank you for your patience — I know I’ve been a bit quiet this month, and I truly appreciate your support and understanding. As a small business, things can move quickly and unexpectedly, and I’ve been swept up in the exciting final stages of preparing for production!
I'm thrilled to share that all plush prototypes have been finalized and are now off for safety testing — the most important and final step before full production begins! This is a huge milestone, and I couldn't have made it here without you!

I also wanted to explain the delay in sending out your surveys is because I chose to wait until the prototypes were finalized so that you could make your Cuddle Bug selections with confidence, knowing exactly what they'll look like. That said, I recognize I could have shared more frequent updates along the way — and I’m committed to doing better on that front moving forward.

Prototype updates and surveys are being prepped and will be heading your way very soon as well! Thank you again for your continued support, excitement, and patience. We're so close, and I can't wait for you to meet your new Cuddle Bugs!

Hey Cuddle Bugs! Let’s check out our new Add-on!

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I HAVE BEEN BLOWN CLEAR OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!

I never thought I would get this far, let alone so fast! I am still working as fast as I can on getting the ball rolling for the new isopod prototypes so I can start on THE FIGHTING BEETLES!! A rambunctious group, Bing, Bop, Boom and BAM! Are excited to offer their own warm weighted cuddle to the colony!
Right now I am elbow deep in perfecting the microwaveable pouches and adding an unfilled option for those of you scared of the clay ball filling considering they can heat up quite quickly! But I’ve found that the clay also holds heat the longest, without scent and can be reheated by adding simple friction, so I still plan on having them but will need to make sure it is clear to not microwave them for more than 40 seconds to be safest!

My tests were done on a 900-1200 watt microwave, if yours is a higher wattage, use less time!

  • NEW ADD-ONS!! 


I’ve added an option to grab another bug  and even added an option to help me restock an already established bug OOMURA!

Oomura was the first to launch the Cuddle Bugs 2.0, the inspiration coming from the hell that was shipping over 800 of her brothers and sisters, her extra large size of a whooping 40 inches made it almost impossible to ship, but rather than go through that again, I added a zipper to her stomach and thus the skins where born!  

When you add Oomura, she will be a pre-order and will be shipped with the rest of the bugs at the end of this campaign, but if you are excited to have your own Cuddle Bugs now you can go to my online shop here;
