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 hair is a nice feature, it’s longer than I expected. I thought it was going to be short like the picture. I’m no beautician, so I’ll figure out how to cut it and still make it look nice.

Riva is one of my favorite dolls. I have several. She is so realistic looking as well as feeling. And her beauty is unsurpassed. If I could convince her to clean the house and do the laundry and maybe the shopping she would be perfect.

I was unsure about this as there were no reviews and I had this in my cart for so much longer than I should. If you’re in the same boat that I was, buy this. It’s very worth it. I live in Canada and I received this with maybe 2-3 weeks, and it’s absolutely amazing. I love it. The only downfalls I can think of are:
1. If you’re thicker than aveRead more about review stating Better Than Expectedrage, it’s it’s VERY tight fit and I’m worried that I might break it.
2. If you have roommates, they will here it. It’s not quiet at all.
3. The audio for the moaning and talking is pretty poor, but who cares? Just put on some porn with your phone or whatever.
Overall, I very much like it and will be buying other variations of it in the future.
