1 AM inflatables

So, I'm new to all this forgive the ignorant question.
This fine lady showed up in the mail yesterday: http://iamdollusa.com/dolls/inflatable/ ... paula.html
I was looking for something that wasn't super expensive, would arrive by regular mail in non-descript packaging and be portable for storage/travel - which basically limited me to an inflatable, and the one I linked above was basically exactly what I was looking for. I got what I expected and am generally satisfied so far, pending the question at the end.
(and a big THANK YOU to the folks where who answered my questions while I was shopping around)
A few observations for the curious : The shipping/handling was a bit slow, but that is ok - just something to be aware of. It was drop-shipped from the factory (again, totally ok, just something to know so you aren't biting your fingernails wondering when your order would arrive). Took about 2.5 weeks from order to arrival. About what I expected.
Shipping was nondescript box, about 1ftX1ftX1.5ft and required sig confirmation on delivery.
As others have observed, the hair on the head is a little weak. It looks fine, but it's plugged very sparsely in lines, and if you run your fingers through it, there are big gaps. THe top of the scalp is painted black under the hair, which makes the sparse hair a little less obvious. I may eventually graft a wig, as others have posted about doing.
EDIT: Forgot to mention - the eyes. The eyes are quite well done, high quality and convincing. The only possible gripe is that they aren't centered exactly perfectly, maybe cross-eyed by 1 or 2 degrees. It's very hard to notice, but I'm an engineer so I spot things like that. It doesn't bother me, and the face is quite 'cute' overall - much nicer than the pictures on the site made it look.
Filling the chest with water proved extremely problematic. Even using a funnel with a long straw to hold the safety valve open, it just wasn't happening so I eventually gave up and just used air. The pump that came packaged is adequate for folks like me who don't randomly have an airpump sitting around. The seams are mostly ok, or hidden. The waistline is the only one that protrudes at all, but its not "sharp" or anything. Basically all the others are 'inward', I suspect the two halves were manufactured inside-out if that makes sense. Overall size and shape is slightly more petite than I expected (everywhere but the chest), which is ok. It's not always easy to tell from pictures. Even filled with air, rather than water, the chest feels great - but I'll disclaim that by saying I have a gentle touch. The hands are also a nice addition, and don't feel as plasticy as I expected. Overall, after I got her full of air it was time for a quick shower ; she arrived with a strong factory scent (not unexpected, really) which is completely gone after 5 minutes of water.
Which brings me to the main question and my only gripe/concern so far... the molded vaginal insert is a bit too tight .. I had trouble getting a couple of fingers in, and even with a decent amount of lube my member was just too much for her to take. A flattering moment I suppose, but I can't get in at all. I'm pretty averagely sized I guess, so this surprised me. I guess my question is, anyone have any tips for loosening her up a bit? [EDIT: on more examination, it's only the opening that's super tight, the inside expands a bit. The opening as a second 'lip' type seal just inside the exterior opening which has a VERY small diameter] Do these types of inserts eventually "break in" ? It's fixed, and not changeable, so I figured I'd ask before risking any surgical alterations.
Advice appreciated.

Well, one technique that I know of vv187 is to stretch the insert out using a dildo. In a pinch, you might be able to use a pvc pipe of an adequate diameter, or really, anything that is round. Just make sure that it is lubricated with a good water based lube. I think that pvc might work, but you must round the edges on the two ends, and probably have to add a cap at the end.
As far as break in goes, I've never had one of these dolls, but on my Agent 69, she never really did loosen up for me. You had to have a rock hard boner, and it was still a fight to get into her, making one feel like a blow up doll rapist
Best of luck,
Sam

No matter what I did I couldn't get rid of the sharp edges, always poking my 'nads during any use. Even tried another insert that was much bigger to cover up the sharp edges from the cracks in the seams. Second, the breasts weren't equipped with check valves so impossible to blow up and get enough pressure to inflate the breasts adequately. Tried stuffing the doll with some of Walmarts' fiberfill which worked fairly well but the seam where I filled to doll kept tearing further even though I patched the cut where I filled the doll. Biggest problem appears to be the seams are very brittle, probably from heat welding and are prone to cracking easily. Finally cut out head, hands, feet and arms and will try to use them to fabricate something else. Doll came straight from China and I've seen several places that sell the same dolls for much less $ on Alibaba though normally minimum order is generally 3 units.
Summing up, all around bad deal.
I'm curious as to whether you complained to Brent, and his reaction.

Re: 1 AM inflatables
and cover the existing doll's vinyl body as a kind of inner frame work.
I will fill the body with fiber fill and use Romex flexable rods as an
internal frame work. I am considering to purchase a more realistic set
of boobs as well.

I am expecting the nude body suit to arrive by mail sometime tomorrow. The only thing I have to buy is a roll of Romex cable.
