The materials used to make sex dolls are mainly two: silicone and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer).
Both materials have been studied and tested to achieve maximum realism.
Silicone is a common material, the most popular and in use on many sex toys, it enhances the artistic details of love dolls.
PRO OF SILICONE:
• It is a robust and resistant material;
• It is a non-porous material resistant to stains, it can be sterilized useful if you buy a used doll;
• It is super smooth to the touch;
CONS OF SILICONE:
• Much more expensive;
• It is a not very elastic and hard material;
• It is colder to the touch;
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), unlike silicone, is a compound material, similar to rubber that worked with new technologies, it is ideal for sex dolls because it makes them softer to the touch and similar to real women’s skin.
In addition, the TPE is very flexible and elastic, perfect to withstand to shocks and stress.
PRO OF TPE:
• Excellent quality-price ration TPE is a cheaper material than silicone but it guarantees a better realism to the touch;
• Non-toxic and safe;
• Due to its softness, the skin, the mouth and the vagina seem real;
• Resistant to fatigue and pressure;
• It can be recycled to respect the environment;
• It has a wide range of hardnesses and colors;
• Compared to silicone it is warmer to the touch;
CONS OF TPE:
• Unlike silicone, TPE is porous and can easily stain, it is always advisable to test the clothes before wearing them on the doll;
• Due to its porosity it cannot be completely sterilized, it is important to clean the doll after use;
• It is not very resistant to heat, the temperature cannot exceed 80 degrees;
• TPE is prone to liquid retention, after washing it is recommended to use a little bit of talcum powder;
In fact, there are more advanced TPEs such as Jelly TPE which is even softer and more delicate to the touch, the final effect is truly amazing, much more realistic and vibrant compared to normal TPE.
The top of the TPE is definitely the Platinum TPE which is soft like Jelly TPE but it does not need to be oiled so there’s no need to use talcum powder, this reduces the maintenance time of the doll.
