If you’ve been searching for sex dolls for any length of time, you probably know that most are either made of silicone or TPE. What you may not know is exactly what this means. Silicone and TPE are the two types of material out of which most sex dolls are made. At Silicon wives, we sell both.
So, which one should you choose? It’s best to learn the differences between the two materials. Then make that decision. We’ve included some information here to help you learn about more about both.
All About Silicone
Most people have at least some experience with silicone. Chances are you have a silicone spatula in a kitchen drawer. And yes, that is what breast implants are made of. Silicone is durable and heat resistant. It’s also easy to clean. You can use a damp rag to wipe down silicone, even expose it to boiling water without damaging the material.
Depending on how it’s created, silicone rubber doll can come in liquid or solid form, with a lot of options between. Silicone sex dolls are made with silicone rubber. They tend to be firm, and quite durable. These dolls tend to last longer. As a result, they are priced just a bit higher.
All About TPE
TPE stands for thermoplastic elastomer. TPE is softer than silicone. It’s also porous. This means it can take on water. This can be problematic, and means that TPE dolls must be cleaned carefully. Otherwise, the product can stain, or be negatively impacted by moisture.
TPE wins out when it comes to realism. Our TPE dolls have that realistic ‘jiggle’. The material is simply more flexible, and has some give to it. On the downside, the material is a bit heat sensitive. Finally, TPE is a bit less expensive.
Making Your Choice
