squishier

Easier to compress

Squishier is the comparative form of squishy—softer, more yielding to pressure, more easily compressed.

Something squishier than something else gives way more readily when squeezed: The ripe peaches were squishier than I expected.

Can describe physical texture or, figuratively, emotional sentimentality: The sequel had a squishier ending.
