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

Louis –
This was my first purchase.I’m recently separated so the doll was a perfect balance to keeping me focused.This being my firstdoll so l struggled adjusting her at first. Overall l’m satisfied with the doll. Nothing beats the real thing but this came pretty close.It is worth the investment for me. My doll came with an outfit that was double her size. besides that l’m happy with what l received.
