What are the difference of TPE dolls and silicone adult dolls
TPE adult dolls and silicone adult dolls each have their own advantages and disadvantages, as follows:
Advantages of TPE adult dolls:
Soft Material: TPE material has a soft touch, which can bring a more realistic skin feeling.
Relatively low price: Compared to silicone adult dolls, TPE dolls are usually more affordable, which allows more people to come into contact with and purchase them.
Easy to produce: Due to the good processing performance of TPE materials, manufacturers can produce dolls more quickly to meet market demand.
However, TPE adult dolls also have some drawbacks:
Poor heat resistance: In high-temperature environments, TPE materials are prone to softening or even deformation, which may affect the service life of dolls.
Insufficient durability: Compared to silicone materials, TPE may be more prone to wear or aging.
The advantages of silicone adult dolls are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
High heat resistance: Silicone material can withstand high temperatures without deformation, ensuring the stability of dolls in various environments.
Longer lifespan: Due to its excellent durability, silicone adult dolls often have a longer lifespan.
Good transparency: Some silicone materials have good transparency, which can bring more realistic effects to dolls.
Environmental safety: Silicone is widely regarded as a safe and harmless material, so adult dolls made with silicone are more secure in terms of safety.
However, silicone adult dolls also have some shortcomings:
Higher price: Compared to TPE dolls, silicone adult dolls have a higher cost, resulting in a corresponding increase in selling price.
High hardness: Although silicone materials have a certain degree of elasticity, overall their hardness is relatively high and may not be as soft as TPE materials.
1. Material of adult dolls
Silicone is a thermosetting elastomer, while TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer material. The density of silica gel is higher than TPE, so it has better anti-aging performance than TPE. The high density of silicone gives it stronger plasticity and greater space for weight loss. Therefore, details such as body curves and skin texture are better in production than TPE. TPE has the characteristics of high strength, high resilience, and injection molding. It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and safe, with a soft touch. It can be reused or molded separately. It should be noted that due to its excellent coloring properties, TPE material is relatively easy to dye.
2. The texture of adult dolls
The elasticity of TPE is incomparable to that of silicone, but due to its low material density, it is more prone to breakage and damage when squeezed by sharp objects. The silicone material has excellent plasticity, so the doll's body curve is more beautiful and details are better.
3. Skeleton and face
Because the plastic shape of silicone material, combined with advanced skeleton, can create more favorable movements and postures for shooting. However, the skeleton of TPE dolls is limited by joints and cannot achieve a complete kneeling position, which is relatively less aesthetically pleasing than silicone dolls.
The silicone adult doll has a more delicate face, prominent skin texture, exquisite makeup, and more delicate eyelashes and eyebrows. The hairline is realistic, more realistic, and beautiful.
The makeup of TPE dolls requires high standards from makeup artists. TPE dolls may have photographic makeup, but daily production is another type of makeup. The silicone doll's face can reflect fine lines and edges, making it more rounded in appearance compared to TPE dolls.
4. The smell of adult dolls
Dolls made of molded silica gel have no smell, while TPE materials have some smell of glue. Many businesses use the method of adding flavor agents, and essence is mainly used to remove the smell of the material itself.
5. The price of adult dolls
The raw material price of silicone is several times that of TPE, so all silicone adult dolls are also much more expensive than all TPE dolls. The price of all silicone dolls ranges from four to five thousand to tens of thousands; The normal TPE physical doll range is around 2000-5000; Due to the advantages and disadvantages of silicone and TPE materials, more users are now choosing the combination of silicone head and TPE body, with a price range of around 3000-6000.
6. The service life of adult sex dolls
The lifespan and frequency of use, cleanliness, care, and storage methods of dolls are all related.
Some adult sex dolls are detachable and have replaceable parts because the materials used to make dolls are not very good, and long-term use can cause doll wear and even parts to fall off; After use, it is also important to clean the doll in a timely manner, not only to extend its lifespan, but also for the sake of one's own health, to avoid bacterial accumulation caused by unclean use; Store in a dark and damp place as much as possible, and avoid squeezing. Taking good care of your doll can extend its lifespan appropriately. Silicone dolls can last for around 2-8 years, while TPE can last for around 1-4 years.
Taking into account the above points, both silicone and TPE have their own advantages and disadvantages. TPE adult dolls have the lowest price and are more suitable for new players who are price sensitive and pursue a soft touch. On the other hand, all silicone adult dolls are expensive and suitable for high-end players who need higher heat resistance, durability, and safety protection. The combination of silicone head and TPE body dolls has a moderate price range and is also a good choice. No matter which type of physical doll you purchase, it is important to take care of and maintain it, in order to extend your lifespan, and more importantly, for your own health and user experience!
