This is a frequently asked questions by our customers. Yes, we understand that it's always hard for you to choose between these two kinds of love dolls.
Actually, it's very easy to make a decision after you read this article.
First, you have to know the advantages and disadvantages of both materials. Every coin has two sides, so do they.
Let's study what the two materials are?
TPE stands for ThermoPlastic Elastomer, also called thermoplastic rubbers, is a physical mix of polymers that consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. As a result, the material is soft and elastic.
Compared to silicone sex dolls, love dolls made from TPE materials are much cheaper. The price ranges from USD500-USD2000, depending on sizes. While a silicone sex doll starts from USD2000. Though the price of TPE dolls is less expensive, their quality is still great.
The soft and elastic properties of TPE material provide a very realistic feeling, which makes you feel like touching a real woman.
What's more, the sex doll's breasts and buttocks will wobble and act naturally when you rock your doll back and forth. So the TPE love doll feels more realistic than the silicone doll.
TPE is more elastic, it allows pore dolls to posture more positions.
Kinder reminder: Even your doll is flexible, please don't over-bend her to shorten her life-span. And please always return the sexy doll to a stress-free position once you finish.
Heat preservation
Real dolls in TPE material retain warmth for a long time. It makes you feel more like a real woman. You can use a heater to warm your doll or wrap the love doll with an electric blanket for a while to warm her. Please note that the temperate should be LESS THAN 40 centigrade degrees.
It does not cause allergic reactions, even for people with very sensitive skin. TPE love dolls don't have plastic scents.
TPE is a porous material, which means that it is more sensitive to stains from clothes. So please always put on light color clothes for your doll. Please clean your doll and dry them completely after you use them every time. Or the bacteria may grow there.
The material may become sticky after some time, but you can easily wash it with soap and use baby powder to remove greasy stains.
TPE material is not resistant to heat. So we don't suggest you have a bath with your doll in warm water.
Silicone is a polymer made up of siloxane. They are typically colorless, oils, or rubber-like substances. Silicone rubber is generally non-reactive, stable, and resistant to extreme environments and temperatures from −55 to 300 °C (−67 to 572 °F) while still maintaining its useful properties.
