How to Choose Your First Doll
Choosing your first doll can be overwhelming with so many options available. This guide breaks down the key factors to help you make an informed decision.
1. Material: Silicone vs TPE
Silicone: More realistic touch, better durability, superior detail. Higher price point, ideal for those with sufficient budget.
TPE: Softer feel, more affordable. Requires more careful maintenance, relatively shorter lifespan. Great for beginners.
2. Size Considerations
Dolls range from 65cm mini to 165cm full-size. Smaller sizes are easier to store and carry; larger sizes offer a more realistic experience. For first-time buyers, we recommend standard sizes between 150-160cm.
3. Budget Planning
Entry-level TPE dolls: ¥5,000-10,000; mid-to-high-end silicone dolls: ¥15,000-30,000; custom flagship models: ¥50,000+. We recommend beginners start with TPE or basic silicone models.
4. Brand Selection
Choose brands with good reputations and after-sales service. Check user reviews, warranty policies, and accessory availability.
