Powder, with a spare bag! (^^) Although it's new and unused, I opened it to check for any defects. Due to the nature of the product, the squeeze bag is prone to tearing. Even if there are no issues during shipping, the bag may have tears or holes upon arrival. Please understand that this is not a defect but a characteristic of the product. It's especially prone to tearing in the cold winter months. *Explanation from Mellojoy also included. If you are concerned, please replace it with the included bag. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to imperfections or seek a perfect product, as this is a handmade, overseas product. The product and box will be flattened for shipping. The product will also be shipped in a flattened state, but it will return to its original shape as it is a squeeze toy.
