1.Full-body VS half-body sex dolls: How to choose the type that suits you best

An important consideration when choosing a sex doll is the difference between full-body and half-body sex dolls. Each type of sex doll has its own unique characteristics and suitable user needs. Understanding their differences can help you make a more informed choice and ensure that the doll you buy meets your actual needs and preferences.

What is a full-body sex doll?

A full-body sex doll is a sex doll with a complete body, from head to feet, even including every detail such as fingertips, toes, etc., almost everything. They are usually equipped with adjustable metal skeletons and highly realistic skin textures, and are the first choice for users who pursue highly realistic and immersive experiences.

Features of full-body sex dolls:
1. Fully anthropomorphic design: Full-body dolls pay more attention to realism in details, including eyes, hair, nails, and hair, etc., and usually show extremely high simulation.
2. High degree of freedom of posture: These dolls are usually equipped with a complete metal skeleton, allowing you to adjust their postures at will, and can simulate almost anyone's movements and postures.
3. Suitable for long-term interaction: For those who like to interact with the doll for a long time or pursue a more complete immersion, full-body sex dolls are the most suitable choice.
4. Weight and storage: Full-body sex dolls are usually heavy, and some taller dolls may be close to 40 kilograms or more. Therefore, storage and transportation are relatively inconvenient, and additional space may be needed to place and protect them.

Suitable users:
Full-body sex dolls are suitable for users who are looking for high-quality, full-body interactive experiences, especially those who want a more realistic experience with the doll in various postures and scenes.

What is a half-body sex doll?

Unlike full-body sex dolls, half-body sex dolls usually only have parts from the chest to the waist, or only contain a part of the body (such as hips, legs). These dolls are simple in design, and the focus is usually on the detailed performance of specific areas, such as the chest, hips, etc., so they are lighter and easier to store and move.

Features of half-body sex dolls:
1. More flexibility: Since they only contain the upper or lower body, half-body sex dolls are more flexible in weight and volume. They are suitable for users who need less storage space and are easier to move.
2. Lower price: Half-body dolls are usually cheaper than full-body dolls because they use less materials and craftsmanship and are cheaper to make.
3. More targeted: Half-body sex dolls are often more focused on specific parts (such as breasts, buttocks, genitals, etc.). If your needs are biased towards specific experiences, then half-body dolls may be more in line with your needs.
4. Suitable for short-term or partial use: Half-body sex dolls are usually not suitable for long-term full-body interaction, but they are very suitable for quick use or partial interactive experience.

Suitable users:
Half-body sex dolls are suitable for users with limited budgets, those who pursue specific parts or those with limited space. They are suitable for people with local needs or those who need to be easy to store and move.

2. TPE VS Silicone Sex Dolls: How to Choose the Right Material for You

When buying a sex doll, the material is a key selection factor. TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and silicone are the two most common materials on the market, each with different advantages and disadvantages. Understanding these differences can help you make the most appropriate choice based on your budget, usage preferences, and durability needs.

What are TPE and silicone?

TPE is a synthetic elastic plastic that is generally known for its soft, elastic touch, similar to the feel of human skin. TPE is less expensive to manufacture, so it is usually found in sex dolls with more affordable prices.

Silicone is a mixture of silicone polymers and other chemicals. It is widely used in medical, electronic and other fields due to its extremely high chemical stability, water resistance, and reliability at high and low temperatures. Its high cost makes silicone sex dolls usually more expensive than TPE dolls.

Advantages and Disadvantages of TPE Sex Dolls

Advantages:
1. Affordable: TPE sex dolls are usually cheaper than silicone sex dolls and are suitable for users with limited budgets.
2. Realistic touch: TPE has a softer and more elastic texture, close to the touch of real skin, which can bring a more realistic experience. Especially in parts such as the chest and buttocks, the soft feel is amazing.
3. Thermal stability: Many TPE dolls have built-in heating systems that can imitate the natural temperature of the human body, giving users a warmer and more comfortable feeling.
4. Flexibility: TPE sex dolls equipped with metal skeletons have higher plasticity and can achieve a wider range of posture changes, similar to real people.
5. Safe and harmless: TPE materials are safe for the human body, do not contain harmful chemicals, and are not easy to cause allergic reactions.

Disadvantages:
1. Susceptible to stains: TPE material is highly hygroscopic and easy to dye. To avoid affecting the appearance, it is recommended to wear colorless or light-colored clothes and avoid contact with dark clothes.
2. Frequent maintenance required: TPE’s surface is easily damaged, especially after contact with dirt, and must be cleaned and maintained regularly, especially in the vagina, anus and mouth of the sex doll.
3. Sensitive to heat: TPE may lose its flexibility or deform in high temperature environments. Therefore, TPE dolls should be kept away from high temperature sources such as direct sunlight and heaters.

Advantages and disadvantages of silicone sex dolls

Advantages:
1. Ultra-realistic appearance: The surface of silicone sex dolls is harder and smoother, and can show higher details such as veins, muscle lines and freckles, which is closer to real people and provides an ultimate visual experience.
2. Durable and easy to clean: Silicone is not easy to absorb dirt due to its non-porous nature, making it easier to clean. It is highly resistant to water and chemicals and can be easily disinfected.
3. High temperature resistance and durability: Silicone can withstand higher temperatures and is more heat-resistant and less likely to deform than TPE. You can even take a warm bath with a silicone doll to enjoy the extra pleasure brought by the water temperature.
4. Low maintenance cost: Silicone is more resistant to stains and durable, and usually does not require frequent maintenance. Once cleaned, it maintains its shape and appearance longer.

Disadvantages:
1. More expensive: Due to the complexity of the production process, silicone sex dolls are usually more expensive than TPE dolls. For users with limited budgets, silicone dolls may not be suitable.
2. Poor flexibility: Although silicone is strong and durable, it is not as flexible as TPE. For users who like to change postures and experience different movements, silicone dolls may feel a little stiff.
3. Low elasticity: The hips and chest of silicone dolls are not as elastic as TPE dolls. For users who pay more attention to "natural shaking", silicone may feel a little stiff.

3. How to choose the size and weight of sex dolls

When choosing sex dolls, size and weight are two very important considerations. They not only affect the user experience, but also involve storage, maintenance, convenience and other aspects.

Sex doll size selection

1. Height and body shape
The height of sex dolls usually ranges from 1.3 meters to 1.7 meters, with the most common sizes being 1.5 meters, 1.6 meters, and 1.7 meters. Choosing the right height depends on several factors:
Personal preference: Some users prefer a more realistic experience, so they tend to choose dolls that are close to their own height; others pay more attention to the "ideal" body shape and may choose taller or smaller dolls.
Storage space: Taller dolls are usually heavier and require more space when stored. If you live in a smaller apartment or room, you may want to consider choosing a more compact size.
2. Body proportions and shape
In addition to height, the body shape of the doll (such as bust, hips, and waist) is also an important criterion for selection. Many sex dolls have different body proportions, such as plump, slim, etc. You can choose according to your personal preferences.
Plump: Dolls with large breasts and large hips usually give a plump and curvy visual effect, suitable for those who prefer this body shape.
Slim type: For those who like thin figures, it would be more suitable to choose a relatively slender and well-proportioned doll.

Weight selection of sex dolls

1. The impact of weight on the use experience
The weight of sex dolls is usually between 20 kg and 50 kg, or even heavier. The choice of weight directly affects the use experience. Heavier dolls are more realistic when used, but they also bring more challenges.
Lighter dolls (20-30 kg): Suitable for users who have needs for handling and storage, or users with weak physical strength. Although lighter dolls may not be as realistic as heavy dolls when interacting, they are easy to operate and store.
Heavier dolls (over 40-50 kg): Provide a more realistic touch and experience, but are relatively difficult to move and clean. Suitable for those who seek a high degree of realism and have sufficient storage space and physical strength.

2. Handling and storage
Heavier dolls require a larger space to store, and also require additional handling work. Considering the convenience of long-term use, you can choose a storage bag or box with rollers or a design that is easy to move.

3. The impact of materials on size and weight
The material of sex dolls (such as TPE, silicone, etc.) will affect their size and weight. Silicone dolls are relatively hard and heavy, while TPE dolls are softer, slightly lighter, and more realistic to the touch.
Silicone dolls: They are usually heavier and harder, with a more realistic appearance, suitable for those who pay attention to vision and touch.
TPE dolls: Although relatively light and softer, their touch and elasticity may not be as close to the real human body as silicone dolls.

4. Comprehensive considerations
Choosing the right sex doll size and weight requires comprehensive consideration of personal usage needs, storage space, carrying capacity, and other aspects.
● Frequency of use: If it is used occasionally, you can choose a lighter doll for easy operation. If it is used for a long time, you may need to consider a more realistic experience and choose a heavier doll.
● Space issues: Whether there is enough storage space at home is a key factor in determining the size. If space is limited, you can choose a doll with a smaller height or detachable.
● Personal strength: Heavy dolls usually require strong physical strength to move, so it is best to measure your own physical condition before choosing.
