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

The doll looks so real and sexy. She makes me very happy. The customer service from YourDoll was great every step of the way.

This is my first doll, so I was really concerned about receiving exactly what is advertised. True, the process of making the doll, customizing it, and shipping it, could have been a bit more fluid, but now that I received it, all I can say is WOW! I have to confess that I laugh when I saw inside the user guide a cartoon of the doll that says, “I mRead more about This is my first doll, so I was reallyay not be perfect, but who is.” Well, I may have gotten lucky then, because my doll is absolute perfection!

It makes it easier to wash clean the doll with not as much physical stress getting spots or areas. Only tricky part is getting the doll on, and other than that it’s easy from there on.
