Lifelike Dolls

3. Storage and weight: People often skip these important factors... But you might get a surprise when you handle your doll for the first time... Why is this important? Dolls are big, they can be heavy, and they need to be stored properly. Most Dolls can be moved by yourself, but always check the weight before you buy to avoid any surprises, some Dolls weigh over 50KG (that's a lot), if you are concerned, go for a lighter model, there are many available. Any good supplier will be able to advise on the weight of the doll you are interested in buying. Think of your new doll as a long-term investment that needs to be stored and looked after properly to ensure a long and prosperous life... Dolls can be stored in their original packaging box, or a flight case, or can be hung in a wardrobe with a special hanging attachment available at most suppliers. For more info on storage, check out our maintenance guide here. 4. Manufacturers & Suppliers: Manufacturers are not to be confused with suppliers (Also know as Vendors). Manufacturers are the companies that design, fabricate and make Dolls, they are the "creators" of these fine products, from concept to completion, they are the gods of Dolls if you like... Suppliers are the online shops that have permission and authority from the manufactures to supply Dolls to customers.

There are good ones and bad ones of both manufacturers and suppliers. What makes a good manufacturer? A good manufacturer is a manufacturer that specialises in the production of excellently designed, tried and tested, high-quality Dolls and nothing else. They offer hundreds of moulded designs and customisation options for all types of Dolls. A good manufacturer has extensive experience in the production of Dolls and a long history in the industry, they meet worldwide safety standards and have excellent communication departments who have with a worldwide communication reach, they have extensive quality control measures and ensure a high-quality product line. A bad manufacturer is inexperienced and often purchases a single doll from a good manufacturer with the intention to replicate it without any of the extensive knowledge or know-how that goes into the fabrication of these wonderful Dolls (avoid at all times). Expect poor quality materials, sloppy workmanship, poor communication, little knowledge of Dolls etc. A 'good supplier' has a working relationship with 'good manufacturers', offers a money-back guarantee on all purchases and has extensive knowledge of the industry. A good supplier is authorised to sell high-quality Dolls and is registered with HMRC to import products globally (If operating from the UK). A good supplier will always prioritise customer satisfaction and quality products over a "quick buck". A 'bad supplier' works with and enables the 'bad manufacturers', together they are basically scammers selling fakes and poor quality rubbish for a high price tag. They can be easily spotted on sites like eBay or gumtree, some even have proper websites and are selling fake Dolls for cheaper than the original manufacturer. Don't fall for it- do the research. We consider ourselves 'good vendors'. We are in this game for the long run, and you don't get far in this business by offering poor service and poor quality products. We don't like receiving poor customer service, so we certainly don't give it out. We have a specific protocol that we follow when choosing our preferred manufacturers to ensure we only provide the very best Dolls available today.

What is the difference between TPE Dolls and Silicone Dolls? TPE vs SILICONE: The big debate! TPE: Softer to touch. More flexible. Meaning the Dolls are more flexible. Good conductor of heat, but sensitive to excessive heat. Cheaper. Hypoallergenic material. (Won't cause allergic reactions). Vulnerable to stains. Sticky to touch without talcum powder. Porous material. Moisture left inside openings can result in mould growing if not kept maintained properly. Harder to sterilise due to pours nature. SILICONE: More detailed and realistic features. Can retain heat, less sensitive to excessive heat. Easy to clean Easy to sterilise Resistant to stains Low maintenance Hypoallergenic. More expensive. Sticky to touch without talcum powder. Not as soft to touch Less realistic “wobble” We personally prefer TPE, but it’s a personal decision in the end…

Sex Doll

What is the difference between a real doll, a love doll and a silicone doll? Nothing, just different names for the same thing. They are all Dolls. Some are made from a different material but they all serve the same purpose. Is a doll a toy? Yes. An Adult toy. What’s the real story? Some of the first Dolls were invented by Dutch sailors in the seventeenth century who would be isolated at sea during long voyages. These masturbatory Dolls referred to by the French as ‘dame de voyage’ and by the Spanish as ‘dama de Viaje’, were made of sewn cloth or old clothes and were a direct predecessor to today's Dolls. The Dutch sold some of these Dolls to Japanese people during the Rangaku period, and the term "Dutch wives" is still sometimes used in Japan to refer to Dolls. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/_doll What happens if I damage my doll? Dolls can get damaged, it happens. But do not fear, most damage is reparable. Many suppliers offer a repair service directly with them, or they will sell a repair kit if you are up for the challenge yourself. It’s not too complicated to fix a tear in the silicone or TPE, but it does need to be done correctly. There are videos on youtube but best to contact your vendor direct as Dolls can vary and you need to know what you're doing. How do I clean a doll? Cleaning a doll is a bit like cleaning yourself, you can bathe a doll in the bath, have a shower, or pat down with a clean cloth with soapy warm water.
