TPE vs Silicone: Which Sex Doll Material Is Right for You?
Why Material Matters？
Sex dolls today are made from different materials. The most common are TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and silicone. Choosing the right material affects how the doll feels, how much it costs, and how easy it is to take care of. In this post, we compare TPE and silicone to help you decide which one is better for your needs.
What is TPE?
TPE is soft and stretchy. It feels more like human skin and is known for its elasticity. TPE sex dolls are cheaper, which makes them a good choice for beginners. Many users say TPE gives a more realistic touch than silicone. But TPE has downsides. It can stain easily and does not handle heat well. It is also easier to damage, though it is often easier to repair than silicone.
What is Silicone?
Silicone is firmer than TPE. It gives a more realistic look, especially in the face and body details. Silicone can handle heat better and is easier to clean. It is often used for premium sex dolls because it holds shape better and shows more detail. But silicone sex dolls are more expensive, and the touch is firmer, which some users may not like.
