Sex Doll Guide for First-Time Buyers
Where can I buy authentic, real sex dolls & how do I avoid scam sites? Got questions? Don't worry... This guide will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know before buying your first love doll.
The purpose of this guide is to ensure newcomers and first-time buyers who are less familiar with the sex doll market do not get scammed or tricked into buying something they will regret.
1.
Why are you getting a sex doll?
Before you buy, ask yourself:
Companionship?
Sexual exploration?
Fantasy fulfillment?
Photography/modeling?
Knowing your purpose will help guide your choices in realism, price, and features.
2. Pick the Right Material
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)
Pros: Softer, more realistic to the touch, cheaper
Cons: More porous (harder to clean), more sensitive to heat
Ideal for: Budget buyers and those prioritizing softness
Silicone:
Pros: Less porous, easier to clean, better for photography (more detailed skin)
Cons: Firmer feel, more expensive
Ideal for: Hygiene-conscious users and those wanting high realism
3: Choose the Right Size & Weight
Mid-size |
140–160 cm |
50–70 lbs |
Good compromise for realism & handling |
Tall-size |
160+ cm |
70–100+ lbs |
Most realistic, but hard to move/store |
If you're concerned about lifting or storage, avoid the heaviest models.
4.Customize to Your Preferences
Common customization options:
Height, body shape, breast/butt size
Skin tone, eye color, makeup
Wig style & face (interchangeable heads optional)
Vagina type: Built-in or removable
Feet: Regular or standing (useful for storage)
Add-ons: Heating, moaning, realistic joints, oral/anal compatibility
Start with basic features, then upgrade in future purchases.
5. Buy from Trusted Sellers
Avoid scams and counterfeit dolls.
Top Brands: WM Doll, Irontech, Starpery, JX Doll, SY Doll
Trusted Resellers: Hisexdolls
Look for:
Real product photos & customer reviews
Discreet shipping
Customization tools
Responsive customer support
6. Check Local Laws & Ethics
Before purchasing:
Ensure dolls over 140cm are legal in your region (some places ban small/young-looking dolls)
Be respectful: sex dolls are private tools, not substitutes for relationships or human consent
7. Tips for First-Time Buyers
Start with a realistic, mid-size TPE doll
Don’t go ultra-cheap — quality matters
Join online forums (e.g., The Doll Forum) for tips, reviews, and troubleshooting
Be patient — production can take 2–4 weeks

I had been fretting over the purchase of my first doll for months, saving money and constantly weighing the factors of looks, weight, realism, durability, and cost. I had always been interested in the concept of a torso doll because I’ve read that for “play” they were much easier to work with, with fewer moving parts to damage or break. Plus you get the full-size experience without the weight! Opening it up carefully I could tell that nothing was amiss, nothing looked out of place or damaged. The packaging was done very well and even came with quite a few freebies that while not requested were very appreciated! Thank you.

The skin surface over all was amazingly soft. There was a very light chemical smell to the TPE but greatly diminished after her first cleaning. Yes, they all recommend cleaning your doll well when it arrives. I have to say that the packing was better than I had seen. They are a trustworthy business partner.
