The body is 2008 and is TPE softness (experimental supersoft tin silicone - softer than shore 0010 ).
Based on my own dolls, the silicone should last 25Y or longer and still be soft.

TPE I think stays the same, but tends to degrade with 'use' (tearing, micro tearing, etc) and is rather prone to compression/stretch damage.

I have seen comment that TPE life is no more than 5 years.DarkOne wrote: TPE I think stays the same, but tends to degrade with 'use' (tearing, micro tearing, etc) and is rather prone to compression/stretch damage.
For longevity, buy silicone.

Re: Is it true that silicone and/or TPE can go hard over tim
Harem's advice is solid. I dunno about the 5 year part, but my WM TPE of four years just today showed tiny delamination behind one knee (so oil bath & Vaseline will be her next maintenance). I've personally yet to experience any silicone softer than TPE, but do agree it lasts longer.haremlover wrote:I have seen comment that TPE life is no more than 5 years.DarkOne wrote: TPE I think stays the same, but tends to degrade with 'use' (tearing, micro tearing, etc) and is rather prone to compression/stretch damage.

TPE crack lines - if warm, let vaseline soak in.
Best wishes and HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

The Advantages of TPE
Soft, elastic, ergonomically comfortable, slip resistant. More than regular silicone.
Excellent shock absorption.
Hypoallergenic. it is unlikely to cause allergic reactions.
Compatible with both water-based and silicone lubricants. Silicone dolls are only compatible with water based lubricants.
The Disadvantages of TPE
Porosity. Fluids might get trapped inside the pores leading to bacteria and germs growth. This can be avoided though if the dolls is cleaned with antibacterial soap after use. Also due to porosity, TPE stains more easily than silicone. Clothes that may color transfer should be avoided.
Cannot be sterilized. Porous materials can’t be sterilized.
The quality depends on the blend used. The softness and the flexibility of the doll largely depends on the formula used. Such formulas vary across different manufacturers.
Softer blends can be more prone to cutting than silicone, especially in areas such as fingers, toes, sexual cavities.
