Testing what weight you feel comfortable with
Testing what weight you feel comfortable with
I do my activeness in spurts so thats why I am making so many threads. So I havent gotten a doll yet but I am close to deciding. I figured anything heavier than 70lb is too much and thats what i have been going by, but I dont want to guess.
Anyone have any ideas for what a person can carry around or use to simulate the dead weight of a doll, so a person can have an idea of how much weight they can feel comfortable moving and positioning around. Cause more weight from what i hear equals better if you can handle it not to mention it expands your doll options.
I am game for any off the wall ideas.

Honestly the closet thing you can do is lift a real person. I can't see any other way to try to simulate that.

Re: Testing what weight you feel comfortable with
For some perspective; Try find something around house/work that weighs the same. Try visiting a gym; get a weight bar (45#) with 10# on each end....now try to go from standing, to laying down while cradling the weight (and vise-versa). A large doll requires that kind of stamina. It's not just getting the doll out of the box and onto the bed. Where are you going to store her? Where will you interact with her? How will you get her anywhere in between? Where will you do maintenance and showers? Not to mention managing all that while wet and soapy in a shower (bath tub submersion is generally a no-no).
So do your homework, and shop around ask more questions. There are always sales going on. Take your time and do not rush into it. TDF vendors will often make every effort to meet or beat a reasonable price match offer. Narrow your decision to a TPE doll and a silicon doll. Email or PM 2-3 vendors directly from here (TDF) and ask any questions to gauge your desired level of customer service and for pricing/available discounts.
Best wishes!

I don't know, you could start with going to Ikea, pick up some long heavy package at the warehouse, and try to carry it through the tighter sections with plants, lamps, and kitchen-stuff without ruining something Good luck and godspeed to you sir! o7

It is not how slow you go, but how you go slow.

Trying to position her during playtime, posing, and dressing is the hard part. I had her on top
until I couldn't breathe, remember most of the time you're trying to do this laying down and
being careful not to damage her. Ever tried to move someone that is passed out? It is quite a workout.

Re: Testing what weight you feel comfortable with
Been looking for a little bit and the best I can find at the moment thats decently cheap is a halloween dummy https://www.amazon.com/Dummy-Full-Size- ... equin+body
Its 4lbs by default but, if you cut open the stitching a little bit I am sure you can fill it with sand or something else to get it heavier. I dont know the waits of different minerals and compounds to stuff it with though.
Only other thing I can think of but is more work is Make one yourself using a Duct tape dummy and use it to make a simple cloth human figured dummy you can fill with whatever you want....but having already made the duct tape dummy I can tell you its a lot of work.
Re: Testing what weight you feel comfortable with
I havent looked a huge amount into cleaning TPE dolls yet (I have some), but that's a big reason i was considering a silicone doll. Sadly I am a very kinastetic person (touch oriented) so Im not sure I can resist TPE unless I getting some super expensive realistic silicone dolls (which i want so bad ;_;) like https://secure.realdoll.com/hybrid-doll ... ries-doll/Dollfriend wrote:The Big Issue for me is cleaning the Doll, never mind moving her around the house. Bringing her into the shower and making sure she gets clean while I do not get soaking wet is a Major Pain, The biggest Doll So Far I have had to do thiis with is a 132cm and that was Big and Heavy Enough for me, sometimes to save the trouble I would prefer to just use an Onahole, and use the Doll as my Muse...
God I want to make a super sexy mithra/miquote (cat girl) out of her soo bad @~@.

i find once im moving her, all my attention is on her well being not mine. its stupid and i know better but its something i cant help as i know one wrong move equals a possible permanent damage.
Re: Testing what weight you feel comfortable with
If my doll is in bed with me and I hear my wife pulling up in the driveway, I need a quick plan. My bed is high off the ground with a step stool for my wife to climb up. Lots of room and clearance under the bed. I would have a plastic tarp on the side of the bed to lower the doll onto. Then, the doll would just glide under the bed like butter without injury to her delicate skin grabbing the carpet. The doll would be small and light enough to easily maneuver and conceal.
I have a game plan for every room of the house and will always be ready for the unexpected.
I don't have a doll yet, but I never rush in without research, preparation and have an emergency game plan. My wife would be like an earthquake that you have to always be prepared for.

Re: Testing what weight you feel comfortable with
The most realistic way to simulate this experience would be to swing by a firehouse and ask to handle one of their training dummies. The excuse you would use as to why you wish to do this would require more creativity than I have available at the moment
