Hey Staycool, I didn’t mean to imply that her butt isn’t soft…as you can see in the factory video, it’s quite squeezable. It’s not as squishy soft as the breasts, but that is appropriate for such a slim figure. The gel butt is definitely softer than her limbs. What I was trying to say was that the gel butt felt like a person who wasn’t fully toned but also not purely fat. If you are seeking a really soft butt that wobbles and is jiggly when you smack it, then this isn’t it, and I think that’s reasonable given her relatively slim and trim physique.staycool64 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 1:24 am Congrats DL
Thank you for the very informative review. I hope you can put some bolts in feet so she can stand. I know you don't have any experience with silicone but you mentioned her Butt and body isn't very soft from the impression I got. I do have some experience with silicone and from the videos I have seen thus far the Butt, Body and Breast looks softer than Sanhui. Also I do agree on the upper Butt crack being a little oddly designed. The way you mentioned the breast they seem very soft but most silicone manufactures have achieved this. Most have not achieved a soft Butt, and hoping it is different with Tayu. You were upset to find your doll wouldn't stand, I would be upset if mine was not softer and more real to the touch, this is the main reason I purchased Tayu is they are more soft and real than any manufacture. Once again I hope you can install bolts, that would be very upsetting if you couldn't. It would be a hard lesson for Tayu to learn that words have meaning and you can Not BS people, I would want another doll if the bolts can not be installed but you should be able to.
Supposedly, TAYU adjusted the silicone blend after the initial release of the 148D so the current 161F (and possibly future 148s??) use an overall softer silicone. Pros and cons though because with the softer silicone, finger pokes are more likely as Mishka has already mentioned. If Sanhui’s silicone appears more firm to you, it’s quite possibly more durable as well. What’s a bit frustrating is that TAYU have been iterating blends and other design choices (like not using pre-drilled foot plates by default), making impossible to know what you’re going to get from one month to the next. It’s conceivable that someone who orders a 148 or 161 this month will get something that isn’t the same as what Mishka, Crazedcat, or I got when we ordered ours in the October/November timeframe last year.
I’ve probably harped on the foot plate bs more than enough. I’m still debating whether I want to attempt to add the bolts because drilling holes in a stainless steel plate without clamping it firmly in a vice seems like an opportunity for disaster and that’s before taking into consideration the damage to the surrounding silicone.
