Temps de lecture estimé : 10 minutes

Introduction:

If you want to buy a sex doll and you don’t know where to start, this blog post can maybe help you pick the right doll for you from a large offer of size/weight.

In the last few years, Sex Dolls went “more popular”, I use ” because 10 years before it was totally weird to own a doll in the eyes of the mass population. Now sex toys are fairly common and love dolls are getting out from the shadows.

We will get through different scenarios and help you find what could fit you the most! Either you want a companion, a bigger sex toy! or you want to use a doll for artistic purposes.

1. Understanding Your Motivation:

Let’s get through some different situations we had over the years with our customers! You will see that anything is possible.

  • The Artist

We had several cases like this and can be an artisan looking for a mannequin to showcase some handcrafted outfits.

Maybe you need a realistic mannequin that can hold a lot of different poses wearing your creation (painting, photography, sculpting), so why not consider a sex doll?

From super thin body to generous curves you will find something that can fit your customer’s base!

  • Companionship

Life can be harsh and being alone is a tough life, even if sex dolls are only mannequins, having something to care about, a new goal can help the mind.

We are very happy when we receive emails from customers sharing with us this change we brought to their life. Whatever happened in their life we are glad to be able to help!

  • Hobby, collection

When you are hooked on sex dolls you can turn really into the hobby side. Collecting dolls, collecting outfits, and sharing with other doll enthusiasts all your tips!

With time you will even be able to create to own Harem!

  • Secret desire, and sex!

You can own a sex doll to spice up your couple, a threesome with a doll isis easier to set up and can fulfill a desire.

You can have a penis attachment to turn your doll into a shemale! Or you can choose a male doll with different penis sizes.

Also, for every position you dream of, a doll will do it! (just pay attention for your own safety a doll can be heavy).

2. Types of Sex Dolls:

In the last 10 years, the sex doll market exploded! With new brands, and new manufacturers but mostly with the improvement of the raw materials and the constant innovation in the different options you can choose.

The Sex dolls are separated into 2 groups, TPE and Silicone. they both are good and have pros and cons according to your budget and goal, and the price range is different.

  • TPE Love Dolls

The TPE dolls are a segment where you will find the biggest offers and also most of the copies. TPE is a blend of different rubber and the main property is being able to stretch a lot and come back to the original shape.

Because the TPE can be sourced from anywhere, cheap dolls (copies) will use recycled TPE whereas the top brands will import TPE from Japan and will offer all test reports to ensure the dolls meet all safety conditions.

Major actors, like WM Dolls, stepped into the business with TPE dolls.

  • Silicone Sex Dolls

If you ask someone about sex dolls, he will say “Ha yes the Silicone dolls”! Silicone is the original material from the top Japanese brand back in the early days.

All top brands are using Silicone, the feeling is different, is easier to clean (non-porous), has fewer bas smell than TPE when new, in one word “high-end”

Because Silicone itself is more expensive than TPE dolls will be more expensive too. But brands will also pay more attention to these dolls, better makeup, more details, and more time spent on creating a doll. Altogether you will have a better product, a super realistic face with most of the time implanted hair and eyebrows.

3. Research and Budgeting:

Before buying a sex doll you will need to consider a few things and some are more important than they look like

  • Moving the doll

Will you be able to safely move the doll from one room to another or to your bathroom? TPE or Silicone will require some cleaning from time to time and if this can be done on a bed, it can’t be more convenient to do it close to a water source.

Also when it’s especially your first doll, we always recommend buying something light and easy to move rather than going for the super big, heavy, and expensive and damaging it in a couple of days from bad handling.

  • Storage solutions for your love doll

This is an important topic, it covers the storage itself and a way to conceal your purchase. It can be for a ton of reasons you want to hide your doll, and hiding a 170cm doll is quite a task. Some brands are offering solutions to sort of dismantle your doll into pieces making it easier to store.

Smaller size dolls are also easy to store, as they are super light it’s easy to lift them in higher locations.

We offer also some storage boxes with locks and wheels.

  • Budgeting your doll

Once you cleared out the first 2 you can now think about a price within the options that best fit you. Of course, a smaller, lighter doll will be cheaper, but with some options, the price can go up (Heating, implanted hair, or not). One option I would recommend for everyone is the improved skeleton hand. It’s not cheap but getting away from the traditional wire fingers will greatly improve your doll’s lifetime.

The second huge gap will be between TPE and Silicone. Silicone is a more high-end product, and so does the price. Most manufacturers will offer lots of options but still, it’s expensive to produce as the silicone itself is more expensive than the TPE.

4. Selecting the Right Doll:

  • Choosing your body

Now you have a better idea of what you need and what you are willing to spend, but it’s just the beginning. You have to choose your dolls from a lot of different bodies with sometimes a lot of options to choose from.

For this part it’s all on your personal tastes, we have narrowed down some of the big categories like BBW sex dolls, or Asian Sex Dolls, it can help you to choose, but remind that not all the dolls are listed there.

For the options, you will find detailed explanations of all options available, and if you still have a question you can reach us at any time!

  • Affordable or High-End sex doll?

The budget you are allowed to spend will decide if you are going for small dolls, or an entry-level brand (AF Doll), or if you want to go to expensive Silicone dolls like AK Dolls.

  • The clothing aspect

Another aspect to have in mind is the clothing problem for some dolls. If you choose a doll with a super huge breast or ass, you may have some trouble finding clothes to dress her.

It’s the same for smaller-size dolls, it’s quite hard to find clothes, but with the help of other smaller doll enthusiasts, you may have some places to shop!

5. Materials and Maintenance:

  • TPE vs Silicone

The main difference between TPE & Silicone is that TPE is a blend of rubber and Silicone not. TPE is porous so will require more care or with time bad smell can develop with bacteria.

Silicone is a bit firm on touch and the overall result is more realistic. There are also more opportunities for makeup and hair implantations over the TPE. The Silicone faces have stunning results and it’s harder for TPE ones to follow! But the price is also different.

  • How to store your doll

Basically, you don’t want your doll to have the articulations bent for too long (days), having a doll seated for weeks if not months (in a showroom for example) will result in small tears appearing in the joint with longer stress on the TPE/Silicone.

Ideally, you want to store your doll the same way it was delivered (laying in a box, or in a standing position – in a closet with a hook for example).

  • Daily care

Needless to say that after using your doll you will need to clean her, and from time to time a deep clean can be done and the use of baby powder or baby oil to make the doll soft again.

Taking good care of your doll will increase its lifetime and will also ensure your own safety.
