There are currently two main sex doll materials on the market: silicone gel (silicone) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
Many newbies usually have a lot of concerns before buying a real life sex doll before they enter the circle, and a popular question in sex doll knowledge is how to buy a sex doll. but for the induction sex doll itself, you usually only have to pay attention to the following four main points: material, feel, weight and price. Then take a look at the selection by budget and type for yourself. For the dolls, local effects such as makeup, eyes and eyebrows are considered in the details of the head modeling and bone structure and body makeup in the details of the body.
The choice of material for sex dolls
The advantages and disadvantages of TPE sex dolls and silicone sex dolls are obvious. Silicone beats TPE for odor control, durability, and makeup application, but silicone is expensive.
Because silicone raw materials are many times more expensive than TPEs and the material cannot be recycled, in the event of a mold failure (blisters and defects), these raw materials are wasted and cannot be remanufactured. Of course, this is also the reason why silicone can become food-safe. Tpe is generally softer than silicone, the raw material cost is lower, and there is more room for error, so the Tpe sex doll market is generally cheaper.
The difference in the feeling of the sex doll
The general opinion is now that silicone material is harder than TPE as hardness is also related to the manufacturer's material formulation ratio. Some manufacturers focus on the look of the makeup so that silicone is harder to allow the makeup to be applied well and also makes the makeup last longer. The softness of the TPE material, on the other hand, is related to the oil content. A common problem with extra soft TPE is that it is often oily and requires constant cleaning and powdering. So when you buy a doll, you should be clear about what material you can accept to make sure you can enjoy a good feeling.
The weight of a physical doll
Many doll owners feel that the physical dolls they purchase are so heavy that opening the box and removing the doll makes them sweat. This is due to the high degree of body simulation. In order to keep the feeling of real flesh and blood on the body material, most of the material is realistically plasticized by molding, for example the material on the thighs is very thick. It is strongly discouraged to choose dolls with exaggerated body proportions or dolls that are too large to avoid detracting from the experience.
