Because the product comes into direct contact with your body, look beyond its appearance and check what it is made from.
Soft materials such as TPE can vary in firmness, elasticity, how much they deform under pressure, and how they return to their original shape.
Softness depends on more than firmness: the way a material deforms and recovers also affects how it feels.Understanding elasticity, viscosity, and viscoelasticity helps explain why products made from TPE can feel different.
Why Can Products Made from the Same Material Feel Different?
Products made from the same type of material do not necessarily feel identical. The material formulation, thickness, structure, and overall shape can all affect how a product compresses and recovers.
For example, a softer product may deform more easily under pressure, while a firmer product may offer greater resistance and retain its shape more noticeably.
Differences between Soft and Original materials can affect compression, flexibility, texture, and shape retention.
