Silicone Sex Dolls
Although the name silicone sex doll has become popular and is used as a general name for all sex dolls, in this category you only find silicone dolls with a body and head made of silicone.
Compared to other materials, it has the following advantages: higher resistance to heat, water, and stains, it is less porous, odorless, more stable, and durable. In addition, it is less susceptible to damage and easier to repair and clean.
The exceptional properties of silicone allow the creation of even the smallest details on the body. The disadvantage of silicone love dolls is their higher price, which is due to the very detailed processing of the dolls, the resistance of silicone, its durability, and toughness.
Silicone wifes aka silicone adult dolls are a trend. Designers use silicone to make silicone dolls that look great - beauties that, at first and second glance, are indistinguishable from living women. Brands specializing in silicone sexy dolls include, for example, Elsa Babe, Zelex, and Future Doll.
TPE vs silicone sex doll
The surface of realistic silicone sex dolls is completely odorless and has a higher resistance to heat, water, and stains. It is less porous and sticky than TPE, more durable and less prone to damage, and easier to repair and clean. It enables a more detailed processing of the skin and thus a higher realism of the overall appearance of the virgin. However, it is more expensive than TPE, harder, and less elastic.
TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is more flexible, softer, and smoother than silicone. It has a high material memory, thanks to which the virgin is better positioned, and conducts heat well. However, it is less resistant to higher temperatures and stains, and new virgins have a slight plastic smell (which fades soon). Greater porosity and stickiness can easily be solved with powder. TPE dolls are more affordable.
It is impossible to say which material is better or worse. They have different characteristics and it depends on what purpose you are primarily buying the doll for. Learn more about TPE and silicone.
