The most common question that is asked is regarding which doll to buy in the end. Thermo-Plastic Elastomer (TPE) or Silicone considering they are the most popular materials in the market as of now? Since both of the materials have they own consistency and quality, here are a few a fascinating facts to keep in mind before you buy.
TPE dolls are the most widely used dolls for the bare fact of it being reasonably priced. The material itself is very porous in comparison to silicon and gives a more realistic feeling to the flesh itself. Many buyers have mentioned that silicone flesh is quite taut as compared to TPE, wherein the breasts wobble as well giving a more realistic approach to the acts of passion itself.
The major dispute when it comes to TPE is that though cheaper than the silicone variety, it takes quite a bit of the owner’s time in maintenance alone. The porous nature of the skin itself becomes problematic especially considering the cleaning, aftercare and becomes a problem in the long run. A lot of consideration is necessary considering clothing the doll as the cheap clothes and leathers can stain the very flesh of the doll. These dolls are not to be washed or handled with hot water as the skin being plastic can easily damage or worse melt, even if the waters are not that hot, there is always the possibility of essential oils being leeched out. A word to the wise, frequent cleaning and oiling with proper powder care cares for these babies in the longer run. All in all if you are new to the doll community, TPE is the go-to approach considering the learning process involved.
However, Silicone dolls have existed for a longer period of time and are a tried and tested material which has lasted many a generation of dolls. Unlike TPE, silicone is non porous and therefore durable and hardy in a way that could make a sailor blush. It’s much easier to clean and maintain as well and could work well for the right price. Though the appearance looks more realistic than TPE dolls, the approach is not. Nevertheless it is said by many that a well maintained silicone sex doll is a not only a pleasure to have but keep as well as it can easily serve a lifetime of pleasure and joy.
