weight and softness

[anataus]

hello

WM dolls are known as soft dolls... that's good...softness is a key feature for a sexual use , every body agree , I suppose
On the other hand WM dolls are also quite heavy...that's bad...in my opinion.... I know that a minority disagree

What's the reason ?
Is TPE specific weight higher than silicone's
or, may be
To reduce the weight you must stuff the doll with foam thus reducing her softness ?

btw, Is it true that WM dolls are much softer than silicone* dolls ?
If I must trade off softness and weight, well... I go for softness

btw, Is it true that WM dolls are much softer than [other manufacturer] ?

Yes.

Silicone and TPE are similar in weight. Manufacturers use different construction methods though. [Some] use foam cores to reduce weight, for example. The advantages for TPE are softness and price. The advantages for silicone are durability and detail. you decide which is most important for you. Good luck!

Edit: I think our posts will require modification if they remain in WM sub forum, or moved to general. Do not think we can mention competitors in same breath on sub forums. Sorry mods!

Thanks
if so no doubt I go for TPE

just a question more
Also another manufacturer* use TPE but they supply also temperature and sound which are also interesting features to me, even though not as important as softness

Does anybody know whether others* and WM dolls are equivalent as far as softness is concerned ?

For a while this has been my biggest concern in deciding between both doll types. It's like, Mac vs Windows, or iPhone vs Android. The only deciding factor is personal preference. But it's hard to have a preference when you haven't experienced. Like saying you hate Macs when you never even tried to use one. This is why it would be very nice to see both of these dolls in person side-by-side.

Inexpensive + Soft, but Heavy + Fragile

vs

Durable + Light, but Expensive + Harder

They share exact opposite advantages and disadvantages in that it causes them to be no better choice than the other.

You've summed it up quite concisely. If you want a doll primarily for lovemaking, then go with the first choice. If you want a doll primarily for photography, then go with the second.

Mando's photography and karrot's challenge the photo potential assertion. Albeit, there's little doubt of the claim in general.

Other attributes to consider have been observed. TPE is more difficult to tear than silicone but difficult to repair. Silicone rips more easily than TPE but is easy to repair.

I definitely agree. Their photography is great. I can hardly look at Karrot's doll and not want to get one myself.

I was thinking more along the lines of standing poses for photography. TPE dolls at the moment aren't designed to stand for long without possible foot damage. Also, the lightweight silicone / foam dolls like from DSdoll and Silicone Art are easier to move around for posing. Harem seems to pack his up in the car and take them with him out for photographic adventures.

One thing that just occurred to me regarding photography is that the TPE dolls don't have the seam around the sides that many silicone dolls have. So for someone looking for a lot of flexibility with close-ups, maybe a TPE doll would be a better choice.

Correction: sillicone tears easily (all the torn vagina i see people saying they were not even rough) but can be easily fixed with conventional glue.

I stretch the hell out of the pussy to fit the insert for my tpe and there is no tearing. It is much harder to repair because people put too much of the tpe meld chemical which makes it worse.

And silicone is only lighter because they get to cheat with foam stuffing. Qnd hollow breasts. Which can be good if you plan to fill the breast with alchoholic breaverage and use as a dispencer.

WM and ** are different and distinguishable - possibly even to the point of not competing with each other - on account of the difference between TPE and Silicone. From my flirtation with a TPE doll earlier this year I'm inclined to the thought that ideally one might simply settle for having one of each - and a WM doll has been looking at me and pleading to come in my direction for quite a while and hopefully my silicone girls will be entertained by a TPE sister before long.

If Pippa Pendleton's a fair example, https://www.flickr.com/photos/125656216@N06/ I can't imagine that my adventures with a WM girl would have been limited. . . .

Best wishes
