Frequently asked questions
Is a silicone doll worth the extra cost?
If you'll keep the doll for years, clean it often, or care most about realism, yes. Silicone lasts longer and holds detail better than TPE.
Do silicone dolls feel hard?
They're firmer than TPE but still soft. Gel-filled breasts and buttocks add softness.
