Can this bunny be machine washed?

Yes, it is designed to withstand gentle machine wash cycles. The polyester fill and double-stitched seams hold up well to repeated washing, though you should air dry or use low heat to preserve the plush texture.

Will the ears and limbs stay floppy or stiffen over time?

The limbs and ears remain floppy because they are lightly stuffed by design. They will not stiffen unless the fabric itself becomes matted or stiff from improper washing or drying at high heat.

How does the medium size compare to other stuffed animals?

At 31 cm tall, it is roughly the size of a standard teddy bear. It is large enough to be a substantial companion but small and light enough for a toddler to carry comfortably.

Why it's on GiftsFeed

Floppy-eared plush bunny built for years of carrying, squeezing, and reassurance

Most plush toys marketed as "soft" use fabrics that feel nice in the store but pill, flatten, or stiffen after a few washes. Bashful Bunny uses a plush pile and polyester fill combination that bounces back cycle after cycle, which matters when the toy will be dragged through mud, dropped in food, or clutched through a fever.

The floppy construction is the other deciding factor. Stiff stuffed animals are fine for decoration, but children who actually carry a comfort object need something they can grab by an ear or a leg without the weight pulling it from their hands. This bunny's design makes it a tool for reassurance rather than a decoration, and that difference shows in how long it stays in use.

Good gift when

Skip it if You want a plush that can sit upright on a shelf without flopping over, since the unstuffed limbs and ears make it better for holding than displaying

The details

This beige bunny stands just over a foot tall with long drooping ears, a tiny tail, and limbs that dangle rather than pose. The fabric is a short plush pile that rebounds after squeezing and stays soft through repeated handling. The body is stuffed enough to hold its shape but not so firmly that it resists hugging. Arms, legs, and ears are floppy, making it easy for small hands to grip or carry by a limb.

The face is embroidered, so there are no hard eyes or nose to come loose. The seams are double-stitched and the fill is polyester, both chosen to withstand washing machines on gentle cycles. The color is a warm beige that hides minor dirt better than white or pale pink.

This medium size measures 31 centimeters tall by 12 centimeters wide. It is large enough to be a permanent bedroom companion but light enough for a toddler to carry from room to room. The ears are about as long as the body, and they become a focal point for fidgeting or stroking.

Bashful Bunny has been tested to EN71 parts 1, 2, and 3, the European safety standard covering mechanical hazards, flammability, and chemical migration. It passes for all ages, though the manufacturer advises against leaving any plush toy in a cot or crib with an unsupervised infant.

The design is simple: no clothes, no accessories, no battery compartment. It is a straightforward stuffed animal that relies on durability and tactile appeal rather than novelty. Over time, the fabric may mat slightly in areas that receive the most handling, but the overall structure holds up well. Many owners report the same bunny lasting from infancy into elementary school.
