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

Feels very realistic. 5 stars are a must. The doll was delivered after 5 days, after I ordered. Support was there for me 24 hours and was extremely supportive. I’ll think about the next few weeks to buy more dolls.

Shen arrived home today! I’m in love with her already and it’s just the beginning. I feel super lucky to have her in my life!

I received a doll with silver hair, very realistic. It is slightly different from the picture, but very beautiful

This is the second one I bought in one month and the best. These dolls are an amazing value for the price. Realistic beyond all expectations. They feel amazing & look great. made me a very happy repeat customer. It’s important knowing that they stand behind their products and they do. I recommend them highly. My advice is to get a doll that is as lightweight as possible for ease of moving it around. Be careful with joints & be patient. Joints are stiff at first but never force any joint movements until you get the hang of how it is designed to move. Cleaning is much easier than I thought. The product exceeded my expectations for the price. The product is much better than expectations.

Very nicely. Succulent perky breasts that are just the right size. Feels like the real thing when squeezing them. Vagina cavity and anal cavity are really well done and look like the real thing. Easy to clean with mild soap and water. Just make sure to dry out the insides to keep it clean and fresh. Very happy with this purchase!

This doll is pretty damn realistic. Just know that it is indeed as heavy as a real woman so bear that in mind if you plan to buy one otherwise I think it’s well worth the purchase. Jiggly breasts and butt, wide hips and the poses you can get the doll the be in are all very nice.

This doll is well made and is cute. In fact, I got a surprise with her when I open the large case that was delivered to my place. Although its joints are some kind of solid at first, after several times of adjustment, it is much more flexible now.
