There are different types of slime.

Slime with baking soda, contact solution, and even edible slime. I tried many homemade slime recipes that I found online but none of them worked for me. The edible slime didn’t really have a good texture. It wasn’t stretchy at all. It was more like play dough than slime.

The first time I tried to make slime I wasted a lot of slime ingredients (glue, laundry detergent, and shaving cream) until I got it right. Eventually, it worked and I measured the exact quantities to save you wasting ingredients on slime recipes that don’t actually work. I then tried the exact same slime recipe a few more times to ensure that it worked and it did. So if you want to know how to make slime without borax then follow the easy slime recipe below.
