Do you have ratings for the softer formulas? E.g., supposedly Jinsan brands are available in:
  • Normal (75)
  • Extra soft (??)
  • Ultra soft (??)
I've read that Jinsan "Ultra soft" has poor durability, but it would be interesting to know the rating for comparison.

What’s the methodology here? I’d be curious to try it for myself.

Please feel free to send TPE material samples to Indigo, and you will get a softness rating within a couple of days.

This method to measure TPE softness requires lab equiment; it can not be done at home by yourself.

The problem that I see with the measurement device is that softness is actually best represented as a curve with depth of deformity on the y-axis and resistance on the x-axis. As someone above pointed out tpe is homogeneous and can start off soft but gather a lot of resistance fast on depth deformation. Unlike the human breast which has very little pushback at most any depth except the very end up against bone.
