squishily

In squelching fashion

In a squishy manner—soft, yielding, and slightly wet-sounding.

The word suggests something that compresses with a moist give: Her sneakers squished squishily through the mud, The overripe tomato landed squishily on the counter.

The adverb captures both the tactile sensation and the sound of something squelching underfoot or in hand.
