pulpier

Softer and squishier

Pulpier is the comparative form of pulpy, meaning having more of the soft, moist texture associated with fruit flesh or mashed plant material.

An orange with more flesh than juice is pulpier than one that's been strained.

The word extends to anything with that characteristic softness: The cheaper paper towels felt pulpier.

Pulpier also describes writing or media with more sensational, lurid qualities in the style of pulp fiction.
