At Breathing Buddies Co., we bring plush toys to life! Our collection features adorable characters that realistically simulate gentle breathing, creating an unparalleled sense of companionship and connection. These aren't just static toys; they feel warm, present, and responsive in their own quiet way. Perfect for anyone seeking a comforting friend that feels truly special and alive.

Our Buddies blend cuddly comfort with genuine calming benefits. While most plush toys are just soft companions, Breathing Buddies feature a gentle, rhythmic breathing motion designed to soothe anxiety, promote mindfulness, and ease you into relaxation or sleep. They offer a unique, tangible way to find calm in moments of stress or overwhelm, making them more than just a toy—they're a partner in peace.

Our Buddies are crafted primarily from ultra-soft, premium plush polyester fabric, chosen specifically for its exceptional cuddliness and gentle touch against the skin. The interior filling is also soft polyester, perfect for hugging and holding close. We prioritize comfort and sensory soothing in every material choice.All materials used are non-toxic, rigorously tested, and meet or exceed international safety standards for toys, ensuring a safe and comforting experience.

We currently focus on providing the best service to our customers within the United States. Therefore, shipping is available exclusively to U.S. addresses. We hope to expand in the future!Important Note: Deliveries to non-contiguous states and territories (like Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, etc.) typically require additional transit time compared to the mainland U.S.

To manage inventory efficiently, we utilize warehouses in both the US and Hong Kong (near our production facility). Your order's delivery speed depends on which warehouse fulfills it:

• If shipped from the US: Expect delivery within 1-5 business days after a 1-2 day processing period.
• If shipped from Hong Kong: Please allow up to 20 business days for delivery after a 1-2 day processing period, as it includes international shipping to the US.We always aim to ship from the closest warehouse with available stock. Alaska, Hawaii & U.S. territories may require additional time.

Tracking your Breathing Buddy is easy! Once your order ships (typically 1-2 business days after processing), you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number and link. This email is sent to the address used during checkout.Alternatively, you can use the"Track Your Order"section directly on our homepage ([Your Store URL]#track-order) or find the link in our main menu.

Our goal is to get your Breathing Buddy to you efficiently. We operate warehouses in the US and Hong Kong. The maximum delivery window of up to 20 business days applies primarily when your order is fulfilled from our Hong Kong facility due to the international shipping involved.Shipments from our US warehouse arrive much quicker (1-5 business days). Using both locations allows us to manage stock effectively, but occasionally means longer transit times for items coming from overseas.

We prioritize creating an exceptional sensory experience:

• Ultra-Soft Plush: We use high-grade polyester plush that's incredibly soft to the touch, perfect for hugging and gentle contact.
• Soothing Motion: The subtle rise-and-fall breathing motion provides a calming, tactile feedback you can feel when holding your Buddy close.
• Hypoallergenic Materials: Crafted with safety and comfort in mind, using materials suitable for close companionship.Combining luxurious softness with gentle, rhythmic movement creates a uniquely comforting and grounding experience unlike standard plush toys.

Keeping your Buddy clean is simple, but requires care due to the electronics:

1. (If applicable & possible) Remove batteries first.
2. Spot clean: Prepare a solution of lukewarm water and a tiny amount of mild soap.
3. Dampen, don't soak: Dip a clean cloth in the solution and wring it out well. It should be damp, not wet.
4. Gently wipe: Carefully wipe the surface of the plush, paying attention to dirty areas. Avoid scrubbing hard and keep moisture away from the internal mechanism areas.[2]
5. Rinse cloth: Rinse the cloth thoroughly with clean water, wring it out.
6. Wipe again: Gently wipe the toy again to remove any soap residue.
7. Air dry: Let the Breathing Buddy air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Do not apply heat.

Yes, absolutely! That is their primary purpose.The gentle, rhythmic breathing motion is specifically designed to help soothe the nervous system.By providing calming visual and tactile sensory input, the Buddies can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, promote mindfulness, and create a sense of peace. This makes them a wonderful calming tool forboth children and adultsseeking comfort and relaxation.
