The internal structure of this dolls are (from inside to outside) :
skeleton--->PU sponge --->silicone

Thank you very much for your answer and your compliments on Kayla.
Yes, I agree with you completely concerning the area of the buttocks and the thighs. As I mentioned, technically, it probably has to be this way. Perhaps through further development these areas on ds can become a little softer, but stay secure structurally. I know some manufacturers do have gel inserts in the buttocks area, but I'm not familiar with their process or know if they stay structurally sound over time.
Thought I would add a sketch/picture of the structure of the DS doll as it relates to the silicone issue.
A few weeks ago I was having an email exchange with John at DS about the complexities of the silicone structure. He sent me this picture, and perhaps it will help others to see this, even though it is not a highly technical drawing. In this particular picture you can see that the proportion of the sponge muscle is fairly substantial compared to the other elements. I'm assuming that this proportion is probably similar, or perhaps even greater, to that of the buttocks and upper thigh areas that we were discussing earlier.
You'll also notice a protective layer that surrounds the sponge muscle. I would think that among other characteristics, this helps to keep the sponge in tact, allowing it to maintain its conformity.
Anyway, thought this might be helpful.
Best regards.
