Are you in the market for a love doll or sex doll? If so, one of the most important decisions you’ll have to make is the material from which your doll is made. Two of the most popular materials used for sex dolls today are silicone and TPE. These materials are highly sought after due to their realistic appearance and lifelike feel. However, it’s important to know the advantages and disadvantages of each material to help you make an informed decision.
TPE Sex Dolls
Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) is a combination of rubber and plastic that makes TPE dolls flexible, slip-resistant, and shock-absorbent. They are also popular due to their affordability.
Pros
TPE sex dolls are less expensive than silicone dolls, but offer almost the same characteristics. They have a soft and smooth body that is human-like to the touch and can retain warmth. The elastic features of the TPE material allow them to be squeezed like a real human. The material is odorless and hypoallergenic, reducing the likelihood of allergic reactions.
Cons
TPE is a more porous material than silicone, making it easier for fluids to become trapped and allowing germs and bacteria to thrive if not cleaned properly. One way to simplify the cleaning process is to select a removable vagina when ordering from Annie’s Dollhouse. Additionally, since TPE is a blend of materials, dolls from different manufacturers may feel slightly different.
Silicone Sex Dolls
Silicone is a man-made, rubbery, and heat-resistant polymer material that is available in a range of forms. It is a very versatile material with many uses, including breast implants used in cosmetic surgery.
Pros
Silicone sex dolls are the closest to actual human beings when it comes to sexual stimulation and have a very realistic feel when touched. They are more durable than TPE dolls and retain warmth, providing a more human-like experience. Silicone dolls are easier to sterilize due to their non-porous material and rarely cause allergic reactions.
Cons
Silicone sex dolls are more expensive than TPE dolls due to the cost of materials and production. They are also heavier and slightly more rigid than TPE dolls due to their lack of elasticity.
