New category of inflatable dolls - TPE inflatables ?

JustinBridou · Post by **JustinBridou** » Mon Jan 11, 2016 12:18 pm

Hi,

A new category of inflatable dolls begins to appear on the market. They are neither made with Latex, nor vinyl. Perhaps should be create a new section in TDF forum (or consolidate all the inflatable dolls in one category and create three subcategories, Latex, Vinyl and TPE/others).

Who own such a doll and can share informations with TDF community (about quality, durability, softness, prices...) ?

Browsing Chinese sites (Aliexpress), I found this doll:

The weight is 13 Kgs, so it's not a solid doll with skeleton (more than 20 Kgs), but heavier than a Vinyl doll (less than 5 Kgs).

You can believe it's just another fake, as many are sold by Chinese vendors. But this one is really an inflatable.
Look at the details:

1 - There is a visible inlet for air (and this is not a photoshoped picture).
2 - The shoulders are too thin to hold a joint (it's not a solid doll).
3 - The lower back is not as detailed as a solid doll.
4 - A nice butt ! never has seen that on an inflatable Vinyl or Latex.

Looking at the body, the hands are something like a Latex doll. But there is also details, like nostril or clavicle.

Another good and definitely reason to not believe at a fake, is that there is also an unflated picture:

The skin of the doll seems actually very thick. But sure it's an inflatable.
The head is not moveable, nor removable.
There is no options for this doll. As far as I can see, the vagina is built-in.

The price is about 800$

That's the first time I've seen that not be a scam.

Looks interesting - a little heavy for an air girl. With the difficulty repairing a solid TPE doll not sure I would be the first to test it, not at $800 a pop.

Something intermediate between an heavy solid doll (>25 Kg for the same size) and a light inflatable.

This vendor look serious, he has some others inflatables at usual prices (less than $100) and some solid models. No fake picture on his site (but I've never ordered at this shop).
The price of this doll is $899 and can be show here : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Invention-Inflatable-Silicone-Doll-2015-Sexy-Doll-For-Men-Realistic-Inflatable-Sex-Doll-Lifelike-Real/32398770222.html

But for sure, it's too much overpriced for an inflatable.
She has a standard face, without oral function and not moveable eyes.
For $300, I could give her a try, but not for $899

I agree this is an interesting find. I am in the USA and do not recommend buying from aliexpress. I ordered from them once and never received my order. I did get my money back but only after waiting a required number of weeks. Also, I ordered a 90 cm doll from China from a similar site, DH Gate, and the doll arrived severely damaged. The seller said he would replace it but never did. If you are in the USA I recommend against buying directly from China unless you buy through a US site.

Although I buy many things on Internet using Aliexpress, EBay and Amazon, I also avoid buying an expensive doll in China.
As most of the dolls are made in China, it is normal to see new models first in this country.
I hope that we will soon see these dolls in Europe and America, and at a more reasonable price. I've often seen products cheaper here in France, than in China - and without vagaries of transportation ! there are speculators everywhere.

Howdy

Merci - JustinBridou -

- for getting this information out to all of us -

I certainly like the look of this new type inflata-babe - and her details look very nice -

I always find these advertisements a tad confusing - as it appears even the people selling these air dolls have no real understanding what the dolls are made of - as I am always reading of air dolls made of silicone or semi silicone - when all it is made of is PVC vinyl body TPR nipples and inserts

Now if this whole doll is made of TPR - then she sure is going to be a heavy doll - but what's worse is that TPE/ TPR are so susceptible to tears - and if that's what holding the air in - well better get a whole lot of glue -

The price is very high - for an inflatable - but I get it she is the first of her kind I believe

Happy Trails -

It would be nice if someone with affiliations with Chinese MFRs (xsdolls? alex77?) could check more into this. I'd be interested if it proved to be a reasonable quality product and could be obtained from a reputable seller.

If your going to spend that kind of money and not want a heavy silicone doll, you might as well buy a beautiful Textile Doll for a little more. I ordered mine a couple months ago.

Yes, Textile Dolls are truly beautiful, but they have an extremely long lead time. Also, the vagina is so far back on these dolls that missionary must be awkward.

I am intrigued by the idea of a TPE inflatable for sure; however, I agree that $899 is just too much for an inflatable. I would just go ahead and buy the full solid TPE doll for a bit more. If they can get the price down to $400 or less, then I see this being a very viable option and an excellent skin with which to perform a stuffing project with polyfill.

Could it be it's a TPE skin on vinyl? As TPE is porous, I don't think it will hold air. Also TPE will easily tear and it's hard to glue.

There are more photos here. http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=62888

Sadly, the company doesn't have a good track record of producing quality dolls. Maybe, this will be an exception, and they'll do well.

Hi,

Indeed, the first time I saw this doll, I thought that it couldn't be TPE, because it is usually porous and not suitable for an inflatable.

But the world of plastics and elastomers is huge and there is tons of different materials under the same generic name.
TPE is just a family of product. Like Silicon and Vinyl !
There is greats variations for the same name. For Silicon, there is few common points, between the cement you used for bathroom (one component), and a RTV (room temp vulcanisation) resin (liquid, using two component like Epoxy resins).
Vinyl can also be very hard or soft: LP vinyl disc and pool toys, suits are good examples.
And this can also be modified adding some additives and charges (like micro-balls, microspheres or fibers).

It's interesting to see that the characteristic table mention the SHORE indice. It is say that it's a C8 Shao hardness.
I've barely see this technical value for TPE or Silicon dolls. It is usually for solid (and elastic) materials like elastomers (so TPE, and not for Vinyl). Don't know if this informations is exact, but if it's only a stupid copy of a text description, I wonder where it come from. I have never see that for a TPE doll.

The doll seems molded from liquid plastics, exactly as a latex. If it was Vinyl (PVC), it was film assembled, but no sewing are visible.

In fact, we don't care about what material this doll is made. We just want something soft, near human skin, resistant and durable. And of course, inexpensive

This is the lone store where I see this doll, just wait and see if others will follow this line of product.
