Replaceable vs fixed

Re: Replaceable vs fixed
So ... inserts. They look ridiculous. They can be difficult to put in and pull out if you don't powder them every time you use them. You can easily miss the hole and slip in the side if you go in blind. They also don't prevent all mess, like with the WM style you still get lube all over the labia and even a little inside her. But even with all these downsides they still keep you from having to clean deep inside the doll.

Sadly, I have to agree.jonn wrote:They look ridiculous.
I use a wooden dowel (3/4" diameter with rounded end). Run it under tap a bit to make it wet, stick it in the insert, then use it to push the insert into the doll and the stick will slide right back out. I still powder it so it goes in easier but I'm not certain I absolutely need to.jonn wrote:They can be difficult to put in and pull out if you don't powder them every time you use them.
Pulling out should be the easier action. Just pinch and pull (powdering beforehand may help here.)
That sounds like a you problem.jonn wrote:You can easily miss the hole and slip in the side if you go in blind.
If positioned properly I can't see how you'd slip in the side without trying to do so. Unless the cavity on your doll is so large that the insert doesn't fit snugly...

It applies easily, doesn't spill out, and is much less expensive. I can't remember who recommended it but after trying it I've not gone back to the Fleshwater stuff since.

Re: Replaceable vs fixed
I've done 1 fixed TPE, 1 insert TPE, 1 insert silicone (RD2), and am now ordering a fixed RD2 as my final doll. I am really excited to go back to fixed; I've had 1 amazing experience with the RD2 but in general the fixed insert wasn't doing it for me, despite the rest of the doll being awesome. The other fun times I've had were mostly with that first fixed TPE model.
You really have to consider your current physical strength on these dolls in so many ways, and the fixed vs insert argument is no exception. Over my year of ownership I've grown into being able to move a dead-weight 105 lb body with only moderate effort (up from significant effort on a 70 lb body), and I find that since I have to move these things to the bathroom relatively frequently regardless, there's simply no point in going the lazy route of the insert...especially when fixed does it for me, in both look and feel, sooooo much better.

Re: Replaceable vs fixed
Now I'm no expert so please correct me if I'm wrong. But there's one thing that worries me about fixed, is if it gets damaged or worn out. You wouldn't be able to replace it. Friction is inevitable in this situation, and friction causes corrosion. Meaning no matter how good you take care of your doll, the vagina will wear out eventually right? Has anyone experienced this? And has anyone had a fixed vagina stay tight for long periods of time?
If a fixed can last me a long time, I'd definitely go for that. If not, I'd go with replaceable.
Re: Replaceable vs fixed
Sensation aside are condoms an answer here or are there issues with rubber vs TPE? I could see perhaps using condoms for more day to day quickies, while enjoying the occasional bareback treat when time allows for a longer session and a good clean up?
Would this be a viable compromise?

Re: Replaceable vs fixed
Here's my question though.....if I don't put the insert in, would it be the same as fixed, or would it just be an open hole?
Re: Replaceable vs fixed
Rubber isn't the problem but lube and spermicide could be. You want a water based lube (not silicone). May need to research chemicals or test on spare chunk of TPE to ensure no damage.slider2 wrote:Sensation aside are condoms an answer here or are there issues with rubber vs TPE?
Without insert it is a smooth open hole about 6-7 cm in diameter and about 17-18cm deep. The vaginal cavity for dolls with inserts does not simulate a vagina's interior; it is only designed to contain the insert which does.Freddielinton wrote:if I don't put the insert in, would it be the same as fixed, or would it just be an open hole?
Re: Replaceable vs fixed
Well you still need to use lube when you use a normal condom, so you still need to clean and dry when you are done. It is a lot easier to just clean water based lube though compared to a full "load".slider2 wrote:Sensation aside are condoms an answer here or are there issues with rubber vs TPE?

I tried a condom once, back when my only doll was a plush torso that took inserts. I don't know if it was a poor choice of condom/lube or what, but it was fairly uncomfortable. There was more friction, and the condom would bunch up a little near the tip and create uncomfortably sharp ridges. And it smelled quite strongly of latex (Trojan brand often does from what I've read).
Some people recommend a "female condom" as they are supposed to feel better and be washable and reusable to make up for the higher price per condom. I haven't used one myself since to this date I only have insert dolls, but I think the usual advice for these is to wash off the lube that comes pre-applied, and remove a little o-ring from the tip, if it has one.
