.
Thanks for your message tubbienine , i will try to explain myself the best i can
Let me please start saying that what im gonna state its my own and personal experience and opinion . Whatever i can feel or express had nothing to do ,or can be related with the great work from the different manufacturers as for creating these dolls ,neither the vendor for its outstanding service offered during the purchase and afterwards , or other forum members experiences / reviews of their silicone dolls .
Also ,please bear in mind that i dont know how a 5000-10000 euros elite silicone doll would be regarding her softness/elasticity , as i will never take the risk to check it .
As i had seen lately ,the elite brands , as well as the non elites ,are offering gel option for butt , buttocks , belly , and other body parts for their silicone dolls , so I can only ask myself :
-Its needed because of the non elastic properties of the silicone all around the doll ? So this way , at least few parts of her body would be ?
-Or is just something extra as gel would be on an already jiggly wm/yl tpe doll ass ?
Imho , is not as an extra ,instead is 'order it if you want some elasticity on certain points of a silicone doll'
This option of gel butt ,buttocks,belly,etc... is mostly being offered with an extra cost , and already read at the forum that some vendors does not even offer a warranty of the doll for being delivered in good conditions if this gel features are ordered ,leaving us completely naked if something goes wrong ,even if the problem is due a neglected act packaging the doll at the fabric ,or in case it fells apart in no long
For me , the experience with dolls started on April / May 2021 , with 2 tpe ladies,which non of them weight less than 40kg and i got very used to the tpe softness/elasticity and to have much meat all around the doll when squeezing her
So ,you would ask ,Why did you purchased her ? Few reasons come to my mind , but the first is the extremely beautiful heads and that they released the XL tits on their 148 body
When she arrived , and unboxed her , i was greatly surprised by the feeling of her tities , wish my huge breasted ladies have that feeling . But ,i wasnt expecting at all , and couldnt believe ,the elasticity of the material compared to tpe ,when , for example ,trying to sink my fingers around her body
There are many other users whom have a completely different experience with their silicone dolls , this may be for many different reasons that i cant say , but maybe they simply like it as it is
The reasons can be unlimited. I recently read a user on the forum, on a tpe vs silicone, state the following :
__
Tpe dolls are unsusable , because they deteriorate so fast once you sink your fingers on its skin , better to be harder to last long . Go silicone
__
This user , for example , is on the other extreme of what i want . And good for him , i respect that and love that everybody is looking for different certain qualities on a doll and manufacturers can offer them
But , of course , its inevitable to ask myself :
-Its because they simply conform how it is ?
- Did they try a tpe ?
- Do they use the doll for sex ? They bought it for companion only ? photography ? And is just based on true first sight love ?
- Maybe they dont want to complain about it and they will only focus on her positive things ?
- Or even political correctness ?
- Why do they constantly speak about vagina softness of their silicone dolls ? It is because if it were to be as hard as the body , it wont be possible at all to have sex ?
- And finally , why ordering , paying extra , a soft belly/ass/tights,etc.. ? When the standard version ,with all it sales/recommendations/positive reviews , already suposse to be enough soft/elastic ?
As for myself ,my dissapointment with silicone go that far , that i absolutely love two silicone dolls out there ( the SM136 and the Starpery BBW ) but ,i will never buy again a silicone doll after such experience , as much as i could love their body shape or get attracted to , as i got to the Elsa
Back to the doll , im not complaining that there is not as much mass on her body as with my other ladies , i know this in advanced and didnt mind at all , is just , that the mass available isnt squishable as the tpe
Regarding softness , her skin , once powdered , i can venture to say that is softer than tpe when caress , you dont have that sandpaper feeling that some tpe dolls have in some areas , but the huge inconvenience , and what i become to realise , is that , the most important thing for me on a sex doll ( and i have learn the lesson the hard way ) is the elasticity of the material . And that , based on what i tried , is only available in tpe .
I had been months thinking about to sell her , it was 31st August when i get done the template ,but when i got to the room to take her sale photos , a huge pity feeling invade me : No , her tits are great and you love both heads . So, i tried once again to appreciate or get attracted by her changing her clothes , but nothing.
Since then , the 'sell it ,you dont use it at all' feeling had overcome , and here we are , trying to find a new place for her , with somebody whom like silicone dolls and their properties and want a beautiful doll for a reduced price
Cant speak on the long run as for durability ,silicone neither tpe , as i start on this just one year ago
All i can say is that i got a tpe light tan YL ,a white/natural Hidoll and a tan Dolls Castle ,all of them are already older than a year , and except for a loose hip joint on the YL , all of them almost look like the first day , being the Hidoll the one looking best ,as its tpe is firmer/little bit harder than YL or Dolls Castle , that seems very similar . I dont use them more than twice per week and they are always rotating , not like the Elsa , that poor soul is always watching how the others enjoy .
So , there is no reason at all to keep her at home , I dont get that click , emotion , love ,spark , call it whatever , as i do with my other dolls , would rather sell her to somebody whom will give her love and truly appreciate her as she deserves.
All the best
