Elizabeth 171 sex doll: TPE vs Silicone version
Hi there! Last week our workmate in factory shot a couple of interesting images and videos. Today, let's read more about Tpe/silicone sex dolls, and you can further decide which to opt for....okay pic first:
TPE Body(Natural light) Silicone Body(Light-tan)
I'd like to discuss these advantages and disadvantages in 3 aspects - Softness, Maintenance costs, Realism.
1. Softness:
Here he did a small test that he try to pinch these two dolls into the same shape. As a result, the TPE's body could be easily shaped while the silicone one took more strength. Undoutedly, In terms of softness, TPE dolls are incredibly excellent that their bodies are similar to human's. When you grab her arms, pinch her skin, or just press onto her belly, you can literally feel the amazing softness and smoothnesss which makes you feel like she is a real women. Certainly we can't say silicone dolls are not soft. Actually silicone dolls are comfortably soft as well, you can enjoy the same gel boobs and elastic-firm butts simultaneously. If you must choose a exreme sexual-partner, TPE dolls do take the lead.
2. Maintenance:
With regard to dolls' care and long-term maintenance, it's been a restless topic we always argue about. The commonest after-sale issues are tearing&oil, especially for TPE dolls. As an experienced doll maker, we exactly know that different materials have coherent advantages and disadvantages. Have a look below:
| Material | Silicone | TPE |
| Pros | 1. Highly stable 2. Long longevity 3. Non-porous Material, easy-cleaning 4. No odor, Amost no oil 5. Realistic |
1. Cheap 2. Fast production 3. Excellent softness and elasticity 4. Recyclable |
| Cons | 1. Unrecyclable 2. Expensive |
1. Porous Material, need cleaning timely and carefully 2. Oil and ordor |
| Conclusion | Silicone is a sturdy and stable material, especially Platinum silicone we are using. It's extensively applied in food/medical industry for its high safety, stability and sanitation |
Porous Means its structure can't be as sturdy as silicone, can be easily shaped and torn-up. its cleaning will take you more attention. Plus, softer means more oil. Luckily, Starpery dolls are doing this well, our newest TPE processing tech can make the least odor & oil. |
From the form we can know silicone excels in terms of maintenance and longevity. Compare to the TPE, it will cost you the least time to do these caring works. But TPE dolls need a regular cleaning. and Softer means more oil, after longtime use, oil might be a issue too. Anyway, with proper care. both of the two dolls can please and acompany you a long time. A TPE doll can also work fine for 4years+, although the univeral industry standard is 1-3years. you may notice it's a range and wonder why 1-year. Because the longevity of dolls largely depends on users as well.
(NOTE: Actually the black bras/stockings will stain doll's skin 100%, don't even have a try of dark clothes when you possess a doll. )
3. Realism
Presumably, most of us know the silicone dolls are super realistic, the skin texture, veins, freckles, bikini lines etc. Silicone dolls can perform these well; Not saying TPE dolls can' t have these features, actually they can, but you know, for its material nature, the make-up effects of TPE dolls is relatively weak. From the picture above, we may notice the left TPE one is natural white, and right Silicone one is light-tan. oh, the left one should be light-tan, then it's a good comparison.yup, but even it's light-tan, its realism effect can't be as well as the silicone one.
Why talk about realism? cuz everybody likes beautiful things and we also chase more, not just sex, it's about accompany, soul companion, or daily life partner. In quiet and non-disturbing settings, when you see such a realistic doll, even unable to recoganize she is a real woman or doll. it's hard to still remain motionless, right?
Ending:
It's really a personal thing. For Starpery dolls, Both of TPE/Silicone dolls are nice sexual partners because we use the best materials and techs; All Starpery dolls use silicone heads for the best realism.
We also will prepare a detailed article about TPE and silicone doll comparison!
