Ahoy Shipmates

Howdy - Simoniz - welcome aboard i see you signed on July 4, that's great thank you for joining the TDF and even more to posting your question - and a good one too -

Well as in all things being subjective to ones experiences and preferences - we all like this and that which to some may seem odd or out of step to what others believe conventional wisdom - so with said- sorta kinda - like a disclaimer -

i have been riding with the inflata-gang since 1983 so in all these decades i will have become bias to the positive of inflates - but - in all fairness i do keep an open mind to other things - and when i did see the Teddy Babe up close i was impressed they seemed very nice - my only concern was the size as all inflates are about 5 foot and some even bigger than that which is what i had become accustomed too - so when i became aware of an increased size Teddy Babe-Deluxe - i was so there and couldn't wait -

Having recieved my TB-D Akiko back in the earlier spring of this year 2011 - i am still very impressed - she is still a bit stiff and having read much here at TDF i know she will loosen up as time goes by -

I am also "in my mind" at least new to the French made Poupee-latex - i had also become aware of them from reading here at the TDF and was so thrilled to order one, that in the end i purchased 3 of them - i recieved all 3 last year also in the early spring thru late spring of 2010 -

The Poupee-latex dolls are a great inflata-babe and i do highly recommend them as an excellent doll - as all things are they perfect - well the answer is no as - no item ever is but as far as quality is concerned they are a well built doll and while i did have some initial issues with my first one made worse by accident in the home - the other 2 have been flawless - and even now the first one i got is back in action as good as new -

Simoniz you mentioned some issues that you are aware of with the poupee-latex - such as ;

1. -Head comes off;

-Is this is the weak link of this doll design ? well as a mutli-media doll made of a latex body with a vinyl head - the head is glued onto the latex body - this is not really a weak link as long as you take some precautions to prevent undue stress to this area - but even if this were to fail - you can easily re-glue - her head back into the latex body - so the idea of just her popping off at random is not true its a well conceived idea and after heavy use over a year this hasn't been an issue with two of my inflata-babes -

2.- Paint falls off hands & footsies
- Well that true - but - so too of any other doll i have had its a simple fix - just select a new color and re-do her up - no big deal and it took some time for the paint to come off so again no big deal -

3.- Bad Sex -
- Wow that's a new one on me - well from experience i can truly say that one is untrue - very much the opposite she is a good doll - just remember any action with an inflata-babe requires a water based personal lubricant - this is a must to prevent damage to you and dolly period - others might think different - but don't be fooled water based lube is a must with these dolls period -

4.- Transportable
-Well all inflata-babes is truley one of the most portable dolls to travel with - and the safest too so if travel plans are in the future take the Poupee-latex as she loves to travel - ** travel tips below **

5.- Cuddle Comparison -
- okay here is what i think - remember what i wrote above - and cover Lilith ears - ---- okay her ears covered - well the Poupee-latex are very cuddly and are a wonder to sleep with - i live in a seasonal climate area so latex with her cool to the touch feel are a wonder to sleep with in the summer as they don't get burning hot from your body heat and keep nice in bed where as the Teddy Babe with her polyester skin can get warm - so for a seasonal person latex for summer & Teddy Babe for a winter -

Okay both are a wonderful doll - we all take comfort in what we like and for me to type you a definative answer of what you should like would be unfair - i like inflata-dolls period - there is nothing wrong with TB or TB-D when they are new yes they are a bit stiff but again they loosen up - and there is never fear of a TB springing a leak or at least if they do there will just be polly fill all over -

Travel with a Poupee-latex makes the most sense - and i do it a lot never with any trouble - things to remember when traveling with a Poupee-latex - protect the head to body joint so that the head doesn't get flattened which will pull the glue off from the latex body - take the air valve off from the back of the head and place in either of her entries so it does not get lost - but manly as cabin pressure changes as the plane travels causes a doll with the air valve in to inflate and deflate and in a stored position - this is not a good idea - open air valve allows the doll to vent pressure and prevent damage - always put doll in a checked bag not as a carry on -
Train/bus travel the air valve should be done the same way too -

Hope i have helped in some way - Simoniz-

Except for the 1st generation Hannah Harper. I'm sure that's what the King meant to post.

Hi!

Provided you shake some talc in the holes and spread it around with a finger a bit, one can go in dry without fear of injury - unlike any other inflatababes of any description. It's very erotic and then when you're ready, just apply some saliva and . . .

Head - if you're lucky enough that it wants to come off, take it off and do some interior reinforcement which will enable use with higher pressure and give a better "ribcage"

Best wishes

Wow. Those French dollies look really good.

But they feel even better. Seriously, that's where they really dominate.

If I do get a second dollie, most likely be one of those. The Stephanie dollie looks killer.

NEVER ever use spit (saliva) on latex!

It contains acids and enzymes those decompose latex rapidly. Baby pacifiers of latex turn brown and survive only few weeks to months (despite they are much thicker) because of spit. Use water based lube or silicone oil and a condom!

the french poupee looks pretty but i think a little small,to stand my nearly 240 lbs weight is difficult.i like a bigger and taller,stronger one.thanks all the above sharing.

Good question - hzzf -

I have read some other members also complain about the French poupee-latex expanding when over inflated

I never over inflate any doll be it latex or vinyl - I also never get on top (missionary) postion when having fun with my Inflata-babes

So for me having the doll loose her shape or worse pop has never been an issue for me - there are positions other than on top (missionary) in order to have pleasure with this doll - life is meant to experiment and try new things - sometimes we might find more pleasure in just the learning and doing new things - but - I have found that some dolls might be better for some positions & other dolls such as the sitting/ kneeling types better for others - same can be said for latex VS vinyl

I have several types of latex dolls - maybe - hzzf - you should try the NANMA - CONBO latex types - I have the Jana Cova doll from them and she is a possibly what your looking for as she is a taller doll than the French Pouppee-latex and she is constructed with an internal vinyl skin for the dolls firmness & and a latex external skin - these type of dolls can be used in the guy on top (missionary) postion -

You might want to explore that type of doll - hzzf -

I have purchased several types of latex dolls from NANMA/ CONBO all have been very well constructed - well with the exception of (Jessie Jane) doll - all are very well constructed and meant for guy on top

Good luck in your quest - hzzf -

Hi Respected Yorktown,
very thanks for your answer.yes i have done some homework to know these dolls,about their history,where coming from,and the manufacturers.fortunately i can got almost everything i need of the knowledge here,which contributed and shared by you and other great elders.

i also looked into poupee site and nanma site to know their official infomation about the dolls.

to me living in china mainland,nanma always be a hongkong company,not a mainland company,so latex dolls is seldom can be found in the market,i think a lot of these dolls been modified and exported to euro and america.
miranda is only one of the dolls commonly can be bought in china mainland,but still much fewer than vinyl dolls,and the domination domma is the same looking across the continents but seems never sold in china.all the others although famous in west,like tera patric,jena cova,jessy jane etc.,i can't find them on nanma's site.

i search for "conbo",but the result is very confusing.i know some famous manufacturers in china,but none of their name linked to "conbo".so who can tell me the conbo's website domain name or url?

about the love pose.i think when one makes love with a doll,is to make oneself happy and comfort,not to make the doll happy.missionary pose is a human pose,which makes the male on the top most relax and comfort pose,so give up a missionary pose to protect a dead doll,is not worthy,especially for big fat man like me,although i try to experiment different and exotic poses,but still want a usually missionary pose.

to a done latex airdoll,straight legs and on her knees,used to be a single check from 2 choices.i know this rule,and realized that's why skeleton with joints solid doll coming into reality.but as a latex air doll,still exist lot of details can be uplifted from low end to higher.

some people can afford expensive bill for silicon high end dolls,but i think more people will welcome functional,strong enough,durable and not very ugly dolls they can afford.and not all silicon dolls satisfied more than any non-silicon ones.that's why both latex and vinyl dolls can still be alive and develop.

Howdy

All good points - hzzf -

I learned something too from your post - hzzf - as i assumed that NANMA/ CONBO was based in China not Hong Kong - so thank you for that -

As to Conbo - well the air valve of all the NANMA made vinyl dolls states "CONBO" on it so its not a different company that i know of just corporate partner or so of NANMA -

The dolls that NANMA/ CONBO makes are for all markets of the world - some importers - for example the USA importer "CalExotics" - makes special deals - that are for many hundreds if not thousands of dolls of a particular design - since your interested in latex - lets be specific to "Jana Cova"

The Jana Cova doll that NANMA/ CONBO makes for CalExotics is for release by CalExotics only and that version of the latex doll can't be made for any other importer - so CalExotics has the license for that doll even though NANMA/ CONBO makes it - only CalExotics and thier agents can market the doll - presumably in the USA but dolls do get sold in case lots and end up all over the world -

So thats why some dolls might not be on the NANMA/ CONBO internet site - even though they are the maker of that doll -

Happy Trails -
