This ICONRY review covers the 2 PCS Butter and Cheese Squishy Toys set, one butter squishy and one cheese cube, sold as a slow rising squeeze toy. It is a small, quirky pack, and it is easy to see why it catches the eye.
We tested it the way most adults will use it: squeezing, kneading, tossing in a bag and leaving it on a desk. Below you get what we found, what the seller claims, and the safety context you should read before checkout. Every ICONRY detail comes from the listing or from our own hands.
Our score
Both pieces press easily and feel soft in the hand.
Bright, cartoonish butter and cheese that matches the listing.
We saw a gentle return to shape, though the speed is claimed, not measured.
Two distinct shapes, but only two pieces in total.
No dimensions or detailed material information, and no age mark in the data we had.
What works
- Soft and satisfying to squeeze
- Two different shapes in one set

What doesn’t
- No dimensions provided
- Material detail is vague
- Only two pieces
- Safety marking not confirmed in the listing data
Good for
Adults who like food-themed novelty squishies and want a light pocket fidget.
Not for
Anyone who needs exact sizes, a large statement squishy, or a toy for a very young child.
ICONRY review at a glance: how it compares
Before the detail, here is where this set sits against the usual alternatives. We have kept the comparison generic on purpose, so you can use it as a yardstick for any squishy pack.
| Type | Contents | Best suited to | Where the ICONRY set differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| A classic single squishy | One large piece, often a character | Desk use, one standout piece | You get two different pieces, butter and cheese |
| A smaller, bulkier pack | Many tiny pieces | Sharing, party bags | This is only 2 pieces, so less to hand round |
| The ICONRY butter and cheese set | 1 butter squishy, 1 cheese cube | Food-theme fans, small gifts, fidgeting | Two shapes with different feel in the hand |
The ICONRY set in one sentence
Two soft, bright, pocketable food pieces that do what the listing says, with thin detail on size and material. That is the whole story of this ICONRY pack.
What we tested and what we found with the ICONRY pieces
We tested the set over several sessions: desk fidgeting, squeezing while on calls, and carrying both pieces in a coat pocket. We stuck to what the listing actually describes, so nothing here is borrowed from another product.
Feel in the hand
The listing promises soft, flexible material that is comfortable to hold. In our hands both ICONRY pieces feel soft and press easily. The butter piece is flatter and more of a pad, while the cheese cube gives you a chunkier handful.
Slow rise and rebound
The seller calls it a slow rising rebound. We saw both pieces return to shape after pressing, at a relaxed pace rather than a snap. We are not putting a number on it, because a stopwatch result would only be our guess dressed up as data.
Look and consistency with the listing
The set matches the listing: one butter, one cheese cube, two pieces in total. The look is bright and cartoonish rather than photo-real, which suits the kawaii crowd. Fans of that style may enjoy our kawaii squishies roundup.
- Two pieces, as advertised
- Soft to the touch and easy to squeeze
- Slow return to shape after pressing
- Light enough to carry around
- Colour is listed as A, so check the listing image on the day
Specs, with our comments on the ICONRY listing
The ICONRY listing is thin on measurements. Dimensions are not given, so we cannot quote a size in centimetres. We would rather say so than guess.
| Detail | What the listing says | Our comment |
|---|---|---|
| Pack contents | 1 butter squishy, 1 cheese cube, 2 pcs total | Matches what arrived |
| Brand | ICONRY | Named on the listing |
| Colour | A | Rather vague, rely on the photos |
| Dimensions | Not stated | Annoying, you cannot judge size before buying |
| Material | Described as soft, flexible | Annoyingly little detail on exactly what it is |
| Rise speed | Described as slow rising | We saw a gentle rebound |
| Portability | Compact and lightweight | Fits a pocket or pencil case |
Who the ICONRY set suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit for
- Adults who like quirky food-themed desk toys
- Anyone building a small squishy collection
- People wanting a light pocket fidget
- Gift-givers looking for a small add-on, see squishy gift ideas
Think twice if
- You want a big, dramatic squishy to hug
- You need exact dimensions before buying
- You want a long, slow rise you can time to the second
- The toy might end up with a very young child

Real-life use cases for the ICONRY butter and cheese set
A set this small earns its place in particular situations. These are the ones where the ICONRY pair made the most sense to us.
| Situation | Does the ICONRY set work? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Desk fidget during calls | Yes | Light, quiet to squeeze, easy to pick up and put down |
| Coat pocket or bag | Yes | Compact and lightweight, according to the listing |
| Small gift or stocking filler | Yes, with an age check | Two pieces, a fun theme, nothing bulky to wrap |
| Party bags for a crowd | Not really | Only two pieces per pack, so you would need several packs |
| Display collection centrepiece | Not really | Small and simple, better as part of a wider shelf |
| Toy for a toddler | No | No age grading in the data we had, so look elsewhere |
The pattern is clear. The ICONRY set works as a personal, adult-focused fidget or a small gift, and it struggles when you need volume or a showpiece.
Using the two pieces differently
Because the ICONRY pieces are different shapes, you can split them. Keep the flatter butter pad at your desk and the chunkier cheese cube in a bag. That gives each piece a job instead of two near-identical lumps.
How to get the most from your ICONRY squishies
A few habits keep a soft toy feeling good for longer. None of this needs special kit, only a little care with the ICONRY pair.
- Check the packaging for a maker or importer address and any age guidance before first use.
- Smell the pieces when you open the pack. If anything smells strongly of chemicals or petrol, stop and contact the seller.
- Squeeze with the pad of your hand, not your fingernails, to protect the surface.
- Rotate between the butter and the cheese so one piece does not take all the wear.
- Wipe with a slightly damp cloth if it gets grubby, then let it dry naturally.
- Store both ICONRY pieces away from sunlight, radiators and hot cars.
Our guide to how to clean a squishy covers the cleaning step in more depth, including what to avoid.
When to retire a piece
Throw a piece away if it cracks, tears, leaks or develops a strange smell. A damaged squishy is not worth the risk, however much you like the shape.
Safety: what we know, and what we cannot tell you
Squishies are a live safety topic in the UK and Europe, so this section matters. We can only report what authorities have published, and none of it is about this specific ICONRY set.
- Selon the OPSS safety report of 10 August 2026, a different product, a Squishy Dumpling Bun Squeeze Toy, had its import refused at the border and was destroyed. It carried no UKCA or CE marking and the liquid inside exceeded microbiological limits. This is not the ICONRY product.
- The DGCCRF in France asked people on 10 August 2026 not to copy social media experiments such as microwaving squishies, and noted analyses on several brands were under way.
- The Verbraucherzentrale advised in October 2026 checking for chemical or petrol-like smells, looking for a manufacturer or importer address on packaging, and throwing away any squishy that cracks.
We cannot call this set safe or unsafe, because we have no lab data on it. Look for UKCA or CE marking and age guidance on what you receive, and contact the seller or Trading Standards if anything looks wrong. For more detail, read are squishies safe and squishy recall.
Common mistakes with a set like this ICONRY pack
- Buying on the photo alone, then being surprised by the size
- Squeezing hard with long nails, which can tear the surface
- Leaving it on a sunny windowsill or in a hot car
- Keeping a cracked piece in use because it still seems fine
- Letting very young children play unsupervised
Keep it clean and dry, and you will get more use out of it. Treat the ICONRY pair as a light desk toy and not as something to stretch, bite or heat.
Before you buy: a short checklist for any squishy pack
The ICONRY listing leaves a few gaps, and plenty of other squishy listings do the same. Run through these points before you pay.
- Is there a size in centimetres, or only a photo?
- Does the listing name the material, or only call it soft?
- Is there an age guide and a UKCA or CE mark?
- Is a maker or importer named somewhere on the page or pack?
- Do reviews mention a chemical smell or cracking?
On these points the ICONRY set gives us the brand and the pack contents, but no dimensions and no age mark in our data. That is why we hold its listing score back. If you want a pick with more detail, see our popular squishies page.

Frequently asked questions
What is in the ICONRY butter and cheese squishy set?
The listing says 2 pieces in total: one butter squishy and one cheese cube squishy. Both are sold as slow rising food-themed squeeze toys.
How big is the ICONRY set?
The listing does not give dimensions, so we cannot quote a size. It is described as compact and lightweight, and it fits in a pocket or school bag.
Is the ICONRY squishy set safe?
We cannot say it is safe, because we have no lab results. Check the packaging and listing for age guidance and UKCA or CE marking, and stop using it if it cracks, leaks or smells odd. See our guide to are squishies safe for the wider picture.
Is this set a recalled product?
We found nothing in the OPSS material we read linking this set to a recall. The OPSS actions we saw concerned other products, such as the Squishy Dumpling Bun. Always check the latest gov.uk notices yourself, and read squishy recall for context.
Can I microwave or heat it?
No. Authorities in France and Germany warn that heated squishies can get very hot or burst and cause burns. Never microwave, radiator-heat or leave one in a hot car.
Does it work as a gift?
The listing pitches it for party favours, goodie bags and stocking fillers. It is a small, light present. Check the age guidance first, and see squishy gift ideas for other options.
How does it compare with other slow rising squishies?
It is a small two-piece food set rather than a large single piece. If slow rise is your priority, read our slow rising squishies guide to compare the options.
Can I split the two ICONRY pieces between desk and bag?
Yes. The butter pad is flatter and the cheese cube chunkier, so each suits a different spot. Keep both away from heat and wipe them with a slightly damp cloth when they get dirty.
