What is Silicone?
Silicone, also called polysiloxane, is a mixture of silicon polymer with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Due to its chemical inertness, resistance to water and oxidation, and stability at both high and low temperatures, Silicone has been used in a wide range of commercial applications, from lubricating greases to electrical-wire insulation and biomedical implants. That’s why the sex toy and sex doll industry have been using silicone for many years. Generally, silicone sex dolls are more expensive than TPE dolls on the market.
Unique Features of Silicone Sex dolls
1. Hyper Realistic Appearance
Usually, silicone sex dolls have a better real-life appearance in look. In order to satisfy some users with the super-real sensory experience, we offer a more luxurious option – H.R. series sex dolls. H.R. is kind of painting that makes dolls extremely real. There are veins and freckles all over the doll. It also enhances the skin texture. One of the comments from customers is that you may even hardly tell whether the legs are from a human or a doll if there is no seam on them. In a word, H.R. turns the doll visually into a real human.
2. Weight Reduction
In the current market, nearly all silicone sex doll manufacturers announce that they have achieved weight reduction for their silicone love dolls. One of them lists that a 172cm doll weights only 36 kg. However, this information brought them a crisis in 2018. The truth is, all silicone sex dolls are 10% heavier than TPE sex dolls.
As for ours, silicone dolls are 25-30% lighter than before, 15-20% lighter than TPE dolls. For example, 160bb, one of the best sellers, is 28 kg. The 162 is 32 kg. The biggest in the market, 170, is 41 kg. Lighter weight means easier to handle during use, or more flexible for more poses.
3. More Durable
There are two things that concern the durability of sex dolls, resilience, and anti-tearing. The latest platinum silicone we use is different from the most material in the market. It is a bit less soft in order to enhance resilience and anti-tearing. There used to be a delivery risk that dolls may get some dents under terrible shipping circumstances. With this silicone, it is no longer a problem. Also, after lying on the hard floor for long, the butt will be sunk and never get back. But ours will get back within 90 minutes, usually 30-45 minutes.
4. Low maintenance
Silicone sex dolls are more convenient to clean, and sanitized than TPE sex dolls. They can be sterilized without fear that the liquid will seep into the skin and cause damage. They can hold their shape better and need less maintenance because of their stain-resistant value and the incompressible nature of the skin. However, don’t forget to clean their anus and vagina after use. (Learn how to clean & care for your own sex doll from here!)
