Hi Latexman,
You are certainly right here.
I hestitated and went with a Lorissa vinyl doll from the shop. Sex with that doll was fine, but the Lolita doll that I had planned first to buy as my first serious sex doll might have looked greater. For lack of experience with latexdolls I thought Lorissa was more durable. No that is not true I suppose a latex doll is more durable than any vinyl doll!
H'mm they are good dolls, and could be superdolls with the improvements (*futurotic pussy*) you suggest <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" /> .
No they aren't as good as silicone dolls for photograpy. Maybe a silicone doll is bit better for sex, but you always have to handle it carefully.
Latexdolls are I suppose sure good dolls to start with and to experiment with to see if you eventually like an expensive silicone doll.
Will prevent desilusion!
No certainly value for money and they are great doll's that is wat I have experienced from my Tera.

Water = Bad? Dispell some Myths for me.
Hi, All!
I've had vinyl dolls. I think one of them might have lasted about three nights before developing an unpatchable seam tear. The rest didn't last that long. Not to mention the fact that the seams all have razor edges, and being scraped by them in my sleep was - not fun.
Then I got a Latex Lady.
That was maybe five years ago, and I still use her on a pretty regular basis. I've never inflated her with anything other than my mouth, I've had her in the shower a time or three, and other than some paint loss on her nipples & nails, she's nearly as good as the day I bought her. "Shelly" is quite comfy to sleep with, and I enjoy the ability to wrap her arm around me, and back up to her all night long almost more than the sex. No seams to slice me up, and no seams to leak. (good thing, too, as the repair kit she came with was for a vinyl doll... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif" /> )
She has developed a slow leak as well, but since I deflate her each morning, it hasn't become a real problem. Yet. Gotta give that Goop! a shot...
I'm kinda interested in the Tera doll - since she's got a vinyl doll inside, and a latex shell, will she still have latex's inherent durability, or be prone to leaks like vinyl? Otherwise, she looks like a real winner. Pretty face (for an inflatable), usable mouth, and decent shape. I could like that doll.
Still...
I have this body seven dream that just _refuses_ to go away...

I bought a latex lady several years ago. The doll was exactly like a balloon. The vag and anus were like these huge indentions in the front and back. The mouth looked like if it COULD open, you could get oral from it.
I couldn't open the mouth without damaging it (AND ME). The vagina and anal holes were so huge that it offered no feeling at all. I'm reasonably endowed...at least "average". So, that was 400 bucks in the dumpster behind my apartment.
Live and learn.
When all of you post that letha weapons is such a good doll and that sex is actually as good as a real doll, I am VERY skeptical.
Please post more info and maybe some pictures of the holes in the dolls for comparison.

Hi Jedi Knight,
I think it is a matter of size.
You could better have bought a Tera doll (narrow entrances).
Bit a pity that you cannot enjoy the entrances of the Lethal.
Try titty fucking, then you'll get some milage from this doll, or sell her in the "for sale" *you'll lose a lot then i suppose, but get something back*
But... the high end and almost seamless vinyl dolls are I think better in sex than the Latex dolls for the reason of the futurotic material, and they do not balloon.
But Latex dolls are still more durable than that vinyl dolls.
And if... the Latex doll or the vinyl doll beats the RD in sex experiences, I think they don't.
But for their strength they are better to use frequently, you can't damage them so easy as an real doll.
And the Latex material feels quite skin like, but the silicone does feel even more realistic I suppose...

Water = Bad? Dispell some Myths for me.
My Letha doll arrived yesterday and I have to say it was worth every penny and more. I just can't get over how tall she is, its a nice change compaired to those short dolls out there. I had thought latex feeling like skin wouldn't work that well, but by gawd she feels real to me.
I suggest her to anyone, even though I can't compare her to any other latex doll. Heck of a lot better than Chasey Lain doll though.

Well so far I have no complaints really, enjoying how well made she is. The air hole system threw me for a loop, but all in all it seems like it works nicely. Though the air pump that came with her is extremely noisey, might buy a new one thats quicker and hopefully not as noisey.
Seems she has a small leak somewhere, I left her inflated for a couple hours and she lost about a 4th of her air. Not sure if I'll bother trying to fix it or not soon, might put it off.
All entries are perfect, a small amount of some Wet brand water lube I ordered and shes very inviting. You mentioned a balance with the lube so I might try playing with that, but I can't imagine her any better.

Anyway, I've read that blowing up a Latex doll by mouth will trap humidity inside the doll thus making it rot from the inside out.
Noble (pure natural) latex rubber does definitely rot from contact with water. Short contact (like showering oor bathing with a doll) won't destroy it, but long exposure water inside (e.g. from blowing by mouth) can not vapour out quickly and this way is definitely harmful for latex. Latex is a plant product and the situation is very much like with exposing unpainted wood furnitures to water. You can rinse wood under a water tap without much trouble, but leaving it in the rain for some weeks will make it swell, warp and eventually rot.
If you don't believe me, leave a latex toy balloon or disposable glove in a jar full of water for some weeks and see what happens. It will turn brown and sticky and finally transform into a smeary, gummy mess. The proper treatment of latex can be therefore rather compared with the care for paper and not with the one for plastic.
The cacophrastus Latexman mocked:
That misinformation was started by "Aerial" at the old Yahoo Club Latex Love Dolls, and has been perpetuated on the newer Yahoo Group Latex Love Doll. It's total bullshit started by someone who doesn't even own a doll.
I do own a latex doll (French "Madame") which body is made from quite noble (pure natural) latex, which soon turns milky and sticky from washing so long it is wet, and it would certainly not survive to stay soaked this way for many days.
It may be that there are dolls made of semi- synthetic or even synthetic rubber sorts those indeed water proof - I read that even inflatable or foldable boats and diving suits exist those material is claimed to be of "natural rubber" (and may be also mislabeled "latex"), but such rubber is chemically very modified (chlorinated, freed from water soluble protein components etc. etc. - possibly even silicone coated) and has in fact not much to do anymore with noble (pure natural) latex (which is simply rubber tree sap mixed with sulphur - a totally non-toxic and bio-degradable natural product).
As for cleaning, the box has a warning not to immerse the doll in water. This is because if you get a lot of water in the doll and you can't or don't bother to remove it, the doll develops an algae inside that makes it smell bad. It ain't rotting, it just smells like an old tire.
"Algae" can not grow inside a doll anyway,because they are by definition green plants and thus would need direct sunlight for photosynthesis to stay alive. Only plant degrading mould funguses or possibly such bacteria can grow inside the humid doll and may degrade/ digest the latex this way.
The other type of cleaning to do is in the vaginal/anal orifices.
This is not only a health matter, but the natural oils in sperm or other body fluids would dissolve the latex rapidly when not washed off properly. The use of condoms is therefore strictly recommended if you make sex with your doll. Even the oils from sweat are bad for latex, therefore latex garments must be washed immediately after each wear.
For a real clean out I occasionaly use acetone...
I can not recommend to regularly clean latex with acetone or any other organic solvents, because it temporary weakens latex and may decompose it over time, and at least will turn noble latex very sticky and may cause it to grow (glue) together.
A latex doll that is used for sex must be cleaned with water and unscented dish washing soap, but it needs to dry well afterward (with a towel - never use heat) and therefore should not be stored in an airtight container (e.g. plastic bag) for the day to permit water residues to vapour out completely. The doll can be also washed in a bath tub, so far the inflation inlet hole is firmly plugged closed, but be very careful not to get water into the inlet. I also discovered that tiny amounts of water even diffuse through a membrane of noble latex (e.g. with resonators made from Denber garments) and thus can leak into an inflatable even when it had no orifices open during wash, therefore latex should always dry for some hours, especially before putting it away into a sealed box or bag. Be careful not to wash latex warmer than body temperature, since particularly in wet state it reacts very sensitive on heat and can turn brown from it; also wrong soaps tend to darken latex bronish.
I have also used a hair dryer... Be careful though, don't just jam a dryer up her snatch and hit the switch or you'll pop your doll.
That's unlikely since a hair dryer fan builds up far too little pressure (far less than your lungs can do). Be only careful that you indeed switch it into cold mode since latex must not get hotter than 60°C, and even this it can only survive for few hours.
Talc = Baby Powder?"
Yes, talcum powder/talc/ baby powder.
Talc is a mineral powder and thus must not be inhaled because otherwise your immune system will attempt to dissolve its particles in the lung with lots of acid, which may finally cause a latex allergy (see health care page on my site). Baby poweders can be made from different ingredients, and some of them contain oils those attack latex over time. I therefore only use corn starch for latex. (But particularly corn starch powdered latex must not be stored in humid state because the bio-degradable starch can accellerate moulding.)
All the dolls come from the factory with a fine powder coating.
This one is often zinc oxide (aka itching-powder), which is very skin irritating and therefore should be urgently washed off before use.
Also they do need some more pussy detailing or some device that allows futurotic material to be placed in the vaginal/anal areas.
Is that another name for PVC jelly/Cyberskin? This material is horribly toxic (see my health care page) and consists to 80% of phthalate (plasticizer oil), which dissolves latex within few days. Silicone otherwise does not damage latex, and likely also non-toxic sorts exist, although I once severely poisoned me by pranayama (yoga breathe control) experiments with toxic silicone swimcaps over the head.
As of yet there has been only one male doll made in latex
When I inflate my French "Madame" a bit larger, her breast shapes disappear and she starts to look almost like a man. (If someone would intend sex with such a doll, a V-shaped vibrator would easily make a male genital.)

Unlike with PVC dolls (those seams weaken, leak and suddenly pop without any warnings), with latex you can see well how far it stretches (see LWEP Letha Weapons overinflation experiment at Yahoo LatexLoveDoll to get an idea how much it can survive for a short time), thus it is very unlikely to accidentally burst it during normal operation so far there are no sharp edged objects or material faults. During alchemistic experiments I had inflated the limbs of my "Madame" doll to maximum size (like in LWEP) to stretch them larger (which makes her look more masculine), and there indeed I discovered some dangerous material faults (thin bubbles) in her membrane, those I later fixed with ammonia based white rubber cement, but during normal operation such faults are unlikely to constitute any danger.
Latexman quoted:
...All of these dolls do have some imperfections...
My "Madame" had also various pimples, scars, thin areas and even a few red nail varnish paint blobs spilled on the rest of her body. Also her nipples were unpainted, thus I removed her excess lipstick paint with isopropanol and a Q-Tip, which I then re-applied onto her nipples to paint them.
