Have you weighed her yet? Curious what her weight is.

I weighed her this morning and she weighs 93 pounds (42.1kg) wearing lightweight slippers and a some lingerie.

So, I did a quick test. Yes, her breasts naturally change with position.

Standing measurement around the bust at the nipple is 36" when bent over it's 37.5". I combined a couple photos and adjusted opacity so you can see the difference between standing and bent over, with the more transparent breast being from the bent over shot. Let me know if you have any questions.

I should have some time for a shoot on Monday, I hope.

Lara had previously worn the black dress (a very old 100x-washed dress from my wife) for a couple months with no issue. Then one day...staining in the dress's tighter areas on the body. The sweating has continued since--oddly enough not on her butt where the material is tight, but in spots of her torso where the dress is barely in contact. I'm not sure what prompted the event, but coincidentally it was within the first couple days of the in-floor heat turning on for the season. So maybe temperature related, but I can't see how a few degrees would have such an impact.

I generally give my dolls a gentle patting with a damp skin-safe cloth when they arrive and thats about it--I photograph way more than I "use" them. I figure all that helps to minimize damage to the paint/seal/material. I haven't powdered either of my silicone dolls as I haven't felt the need to do so. I kind of like the wet look to Marina.

So yeah, that's the deal so far with that.
Hrrmm... that is super strange, I'd also be quite shocked if the real reason was a couple degree change in temperature. My only guess temp wise would be inclusion of humidity, but if humidity were a real issue I don't know if it'd take 10 months to manifest. Honestly the only solution I can think of would be a full wash with soap and then a light powdering, but if the sweating still continues I wonder if the powder would get clumpy and make her look worse? I really have no clue. I'll keep an eye on my GLD and DM you in the future if I notice any constant sweating occur with mine, maybe a solution will present itself. The only shiny look I get on mine are where I kiss her frequently

Looking forward to the next photos!

Well that didn't take long. I noticed some oil sweating on my FanReal this morning. Pretty low humidity where I live and temperatures are stable in the house. Could having a TPE fleshlight in the closet be causing such a reaction?

Already?

What on earth could be causing that...? I know silicone and TPE don't play well, but in all my time poking around TDF the main commonality I found was not to let them touch one another. Even then, it was more to protect the TPE than the silicone if I remember right. I've seen the pic with the ladies in the closet, assuming that's their normal storage area and position I'm super stumped now.

For Lara, sure maybe it's the blend of chemicals in the silicone finally breaking down after a period of time (even if 10 months seems short for platinum materials, imo)- but on Fanreal's Maria this early? I'm kind of curious if they have any comment on it. Is it only her body, or the head as well?

Yeah, I heard the same about TPE, so I don't think that's it. I thought silicone was supposed to be fairly non-reactive, so it's hard to figure what could be causing it. Could be this is just par for the course with silicone dolls, but I'm not sure, I've only ever had these two.

It's only on her body and in an area that I don't grab to move her around. So strange.

What's strange is that it's very localized.
In the photo, it looks like it starts from the junction between the lace and the satin (could this be a reaction to the thread which is used to join these two fabrics?).

She looks really beautiful! I like her in white, but i can imagine in black she is looking hot as well...
Which Bra, Pants and cloth size you use for her? (US Size)

That's a good observation. I will examine her closely to see if that is the case in any other areas. Thanks!

Hello LaraLover.

Today I placed an order for a 170cm Fanreal with the Maria and Della heads. I love this doll and decided to purchase it after seeing this post. It helped me see how good Maria's head looks on that beautiful, curvy body.

What concerns me now is seeing the doll sweating, like what happens with TPE dolls, and I didn't like that much, to be honest. I hope everything goes well and it's just a silly scare.

Currently, I have a 170cm WM DOLL made of TPE and a 170cm Zelex, and honestly, after the bad experience with the TPE doll, I wouldn't want the same to happen with the Fanreal.

The Zelex is doing fine for now, although one nipple has started to lose a bit of color, and Zelex dolls have joints that are too tight.

Best regards.

Hello
Does this doll have this effect: over time, the border between hard and soft silicone becomes very noticeable?

Congrats I think you will be happy with her.

The sweating seems to have stopped, but it’s to be expected for silicone dolls from my research and experience. The amount of sweating isn’t even close to my old TPE doll, at least not yet anyway.

I have not noticed this, but she is still fairly new.

Good question, I made a post earlier about her bra. In short, a 26GG bra fits her snugly, but different manufacturers/countries use different sizing.

I will post more sizes when I find out what fits her, I've been pretty busy lately and haven't been experimenting with outfits. I'm curious too as she has rather large hips.
