When purchasing a sex doll, one of the most important factors to consider is the material it is made from. The material directly impacts the feel, durability, and overall experience of the doll. The two most common materials used in sex doll production are silicone and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer).
- Silicone:
Silicone dolls are known for their durability and hygienic properties. They are non-porous, meaning they are less likely to harbor bacteria or mold. Silicone has a firmer, more solid feel compared to TPE and retains its shape over time, making it a popular choice for those looking for a long-lasting product. However, silicone dolls tend to be more expensive than TPE dolls. - TPE:
TPE is softer and more flexible, offering a more realistic feel that mimics human skin. It’s also generally more affordable than silicone. However, TPE is more porous, which means it requires more care in cleaning and maintenance to avoid bacteria buildup. TPE dolls may also show signs of wear and tear over time, such as cracking or fading, but they are still a popular option for many buyers due to their lifelike texture.
When choosing between silicone and TPE, consider your budget, the level of realism you desire, and how much time you are willing to invest in care and maintenance.
