12 month anniversary review/retrospective my experience

Post by **bigchilli** » Thu Jun 11, 2020 2:35 pm

Hey folks
Mia and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary a couple of weeks back and I wanted to share some of my thoughts and experiences of doll ownership.

I've had an interest in dolls since abyss came on the scene really but never in a million years would I have been willing to spend £5000-6000+ on a doll
I actually joined the forum back in 2012 but only came back to the site in 2018 when I discovered Chinese tpe dolls.
It was at this point I made the decision to go for it

I spent months looking at various dolls changing my mind constantly,until I had settled pretty much on the 157b or 166cm from WM
The slenderness of the 157 was making me have doubts so the 166 it was and I placed my order with the-doll-house.com.
She arrived the next day

The unboxing:
I'm not going to lie when I opened the box I immediately felt I had made a mistake.
I was so underwhelmed especially after spending months looking at the photos from mandos etc
She looked so small,weighed what felt an absolute tonne and was very stiff.She was so pink looking also

Sex:
This was the main reason for purchasing a doll and for the first month or so it just wasn't working.
I originally planned to use condoms then switched to female condoms,neither of these worked very well.
I had all these ideas of positions we would do in my mind but in reality missionary was the only one I could really do
Doggy is my favourite but I just could not get this to work at all at first

Putting her up for sale:
After a couple of months my 15yo son came to live with me
It was at this point I decided to put her up for sale on the forum
She was quickly snapped up by a fellow member and at this point I started to have regrets about getting rid of her.
Fortunately the sale fell through on a shipping issue and I never looked back

She began to take on her own look and personality
I told my son about her(although he was clearly weirded out about her he didn't seem too fussed)
I ditched the condoms/femidoms
She began sleeping beside me more and less time locked away.

The breakthrough came around the 6 month mark
The weight became really manageable
Her joints loosened up massively and I had learned how to manipulate her into any position with relative ease.
At this point I also stopped worrying about danaging and staining her.

Fast forward to today:
She now lives in my bedroom 24/7
Both my kids have now seen her
She has some damage now,all her fingers broke,I replaced them and they broke again
She has grazing around her lady parts and holes in both elbows but she has held up pretty well and still cleans up nicely.

Sex with her now is incredible!
Especially with her on top
How do I feel about her now?hmm hard to say
I wouldn't say love but I definitely have feelings for her
She's not just a lump of pink rubber anymore...
She's Mia...my baby girl
She makes me smile...
I love giving her lots of little kisses before bed and cuddling up to her on a night

Not really sure of the point of this post
Just basically to say if any new owners have regrets give it time
As I celebrate my 39th birthday tomorrow I know I will definitely own more dolls over the coming years
Honestly at this point I'm not sure if I will date real women again!maybe at some point but not in the next 5-10 years I don't think

Sorry for the long ramble

Here's some shots of how Mia has progressed over the last year

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask
Will do my best to answer them

Great Photos, they definitely bring her to life, glad to see it turned out OK.

I NEEDED to see this! Congrats to you and your girl. I’m so happy for you both and happy that fate kept you both together! My heart was so warmed by this post

Great post, bigchilli and I am sure it will be very helpful for all those who have bought a doll and are having second thoughts.

I remember when my first JY, Patsy, a 166 muscular arrived and a feeling of slight disappointment when I opened the box and thought she looked rather small. Then there was the weight issue - I thought I'd made a big mistake! The sex wasn't as good as I'd hoped too, at least not at first. A few months after she arrived, her lower back suddenly became very loose, partly I think because of my inexperience in handling her, partly perhaps because of a fault with the skeleton. I eventually sent her off to a new home, but knowing what I know now, I should have kept her and attempted to operate on her back.

Before Patsy left, Sophie arrived - a JY 175 with various enhancements that Patsy did not have. Sophie has been with me for 11 months and has been joined by Kiania, a Sino 161, and Rashona, a WM 172B. And Patsy is coming back! A new JY 166 should be with me very soon, with the enhancements brought out since the original 166 ("Platinum" TPE, "uterus-style" vagina, gel breasts).

So, to anyone who thinks they've made a mistake, take heart - these girls are worth persevering with.

Mia looking lovely, btw

Hi bigchilli, great one year review! I think your initial experience will be familiar to many of us, especially when things just seem to click. It took a few months for Sarah and me too and as for the damage, again we've all been there but you can fix so much of this with a hot air rework station so it's definitely a good investment. As for Mia, she is looking mighty fine right now so please keep sharing those pics!

She looks as lovely today as when she arrived. The initial hesitation and frustration seem very normal. I am glad that improved and she became a companion in time.

Mate I can’t tell you how much this resonates with me! Reading your story really felt like reading my own!

It does definitely take time and for me it took an few wigs, clothes, makeup etc to feel like Isabella was home.

Bigchilli essentially has an awesome message here, take your time,
human emotions are very complex obviously, but maybe after the initial shock/honeymoon whatever you may find yourself feeling very different about your girl.

Awesome post man, and allow me to wish you a very Happy Birthday too !

Awesome story behind the connection to your lady. Good to see the development over time.

I can highly recommend mini hand gloves:

Actually it's the cover of a pocket hand warmer

I used a pair of them both on my WM155DD (which was sleeping for three years in my bed) and now on Kyra (which took over, each night since January

)
Until now I never had any broken finger at all.

One of the things I am relating to most is that anxiety over damaging your doll that you deal with. I feel like I’m too careful and not fully enjoying my doll because of that fear that I’ll do irreparable damage, I hope to be over that fear sooner rather than later. Tomorrow marks 2 weeks of ownership for me so this thread has been massively insightful.

Mia looking lovely, btw

Thanks pDutus
That was my thinking with the post
I see so many members buy a doll then put her up for sale

Thanks Dean
Was just hoping it could help some new owners
I've been meaning to get a hot air station for a few months
New pics coming soon
Hoping they will be the best/hottest yet

Looking forward to seeing more of Kyra
The YL 166 is definitely on my shopping list

I was exactly the same
Until I inevitably damaged her hands and elbows
Now i throw her around without worry(she hasn't really had anymore damage)
Her left knee is loose so she won't really stand anymore but her joints now have a fluidity about them that make sex much more natural

Great post bigchilli! The learning curve is real. Joint movement, makeup, wigs, managing the weight, finding the dolls "persona", sex... you covered it all.

Happy Birthday man! Few years behind you, 36 this year.

Well written bigchilli,
Congratulations on the 1yr anniversary. Wow, you can really see the transition in Mia. She went from the girl next door to GAWD DAMN! I'm glad you didn't sell her too.
Cheers,
Dsstealth

Thank you for sharing. This has been my experience as well as I seek to attain the minimum number of posts to be able to put Daisy "up for adoption". Do not intend to share with my family the "new addition" to the family, and am looking for a bachelor's den for her. Perhaps a rental house with an extra unit for her. Feel like I made a huge mistake after having contemplated the doll lifestyle for years. The work associated with covert storage and her weight are my two biggest detractors. This gives me some hope. But if I go the other way, how does one price an adoption?
