When you find a sex doll in the market, one of the first decisions you will have to make is which material you want your doll to be made of. Two of the most popular materials used for sex dolls today are silicone and TPE. Both of these materials are usually the most sought after because the dolls made from these materials not only look incredibly realistic but they provide you with next-to-real sensation. However, knowing the pros and cons of both of them can guide you in making the right decision that will meet your needs.

What is TPE?

TPE, or thermoplastic elastomer, is a type of material commonly used in the manufacturing of sex dolls. It is a blend of plastic and rubber, which gives it a soft and realistic feel. TPE sex dolls are known for their affordability and flexibility.

What is Silicone?

Silicone is another popular material used in the production of sex dolls. It is a synthetic polymer that offers a more realistic and lifelike texture compared to TPE. Silicone sex dolls are often considered to be of higher quality and durability.

Physical Characteristics

When it comes to physical characteristics, TPE sex dolls are generally softer and more flexible than silicone sex dolls. They have a squishy texture and can be stretched or manipulated into different positions. On the other hand, silicone sex dolls have a firmer and more solid feel, closely resembling the touch and texture of human skin.

Realism

Both TPE and silicone sex dolls are designed to provide a realistic sexual experience. However, silicone sex dolls are often considered to be more lifelike in terms of their appearance and texture. The smoothness and elasticity of silicone make it highly sought after by those looking for an authentic experience.

Maintenance

When it comes to maintenance, TPE sex dolls require more care and attention compared to silicone sex dolls. TPE is porous, which means it can absorb moisture and oils from the skin. This makes TPE dolls more prone to staining and requires regular cleaning and powdering to maintain their quality. Silicone sex dolls, on the other hand, are non-porous and easier to clean.

Price

TPE sex dolls are generally more affordable compared to silicone sex dolls. The cost of a sex doll can vary depending on the brand, size, and customization options. If budget is a concern, TPE sex dolls offer a more cost-effective option without compromising on the overall experience.

Conclusion

When choosing between a TPE and silicone sex doll, it ultimately comes down to personal preference and budget. TPE sex dolls are a popular choice for those looking for a softer and more affordable option, while silicone sex dolls offer a higher level of realism and durability. Consider your priorities and desired experience to make an informed decision.
