Dolls
A male doll is a full-body or partial doll in an adult male form with a penis. It comes in: inflatable, cheap, full-body, light; TPE, flexible plastic, a realistic feel, mid-price; silicone, a quality material, a realistic feel and durability, high price; torso, just a torso with genitals, no head/legs, light, with or without a vibrating penis. Purpose: solo use or in a couple as an additional partner.
Two options. A static penis: fixed at one size, no electronics; more durable, with no need for charging; almost all models start here. A vibrating penis: a built-in vibrator with a battery, USB charging; it gives extra sensation; in some models the penis is removable and interchangeable. Advice: for a first purchase, a static one if cheaper, or an interchangeable system for flexibility. A vibrating one is worth it for a larger investment.
Comparing materials. Inflatable PVC: price 30-80 euros, easy storage, a low feel; for occasional use. TPE: price 200-800 euros, a fairly realistic skin feel, 15-30 kg weight; downside, porous, hard to fully disinfect. Silicone: price 800-3000 euros, a more realistic feel, 20-40 kg, easy disinfection, 5+ years durability. Silicone torso: price 150-500 euros, light (3-10 kg), easy. Beginner advice: a TPE torso or inflatable.
Storage matters for preservation. Inflatable: deflates, folds, goes in a box; easy. Torso: fits in a wardrobe or under the bed in a fabric pouch. Full-body TPE/silicone: a bigger problem; without proper storage the material deforms; options: a special 1.5x2 metre case, hung by the armpits in a wardrobe or on a special stand. Avoid sunlight, high temperature, humidity. Change position every 1-2 months to avoid creasing.
Cleaning by material. Inflatable PVC: remove from the penis, rinse with warm water, mild soap; dry fully. TPE: a warm-water shower on the outside, clean inside with a special pump or applicator; talc afterwards so it doesn't get sticky. Silicone: a full wash with warm water + mild soap; silicone needs no powder. Torso: a similar process, removing the internal sleeve if present. Frequency: after every use. Gradual drying.
A female doll is a full-body or partial doll in an adult female form with a vagina, mouth and anus (usually 3 openings). It comes in: inflatable, 30-100 euros, easy storage; TPE, 200-1500 euros, a realistic feel; silicone, 1000-5000 euros, a premium feel and durability; torso (a body with breasts + vagina), 150-600 euros, light. It usually has realistic hair, eyes, makeup. It's the most common sex doll category on the market.
The 3 openings in a female doll are. Vaginal: the main one, with an internal sleeve mimicking the vaginal anatomy (textured for extra feel). Oral: usually with teeth and a tongue, for oral. Anal: narrower, for anal. In some dolls the openings are removable and interchangeable (insertable inserts), allowing separate cleaning and replacement. Not all have 3 openings: some have 2 (vagina+anus) or 1 (vagina only).
Selection points. Height: full-size 140-170 cm (an adult form) or torso 50-90 cm. Weight: full TPE 15-40 kg, full silicone 20-45 kg, torso 3-12 kg. Weight affects ease of use and storage. Body: slim or curvy. Breast size: A, B, C, D, F+ cup. Leg height (for full-size): affects positioning. Advice: start with a torso to understand preferences before investing in a full-size 30+ kg one.
In premium dolls (mainly silicone 1000+ euros) there's extensive customisation. Skin colour: light, olive, dark, pale. Hair colour/style: a removable wig. Eye colour: removable eyes. Makeup: permanent or removable. Face shape: a choice of heads. Breast and vulva shape/size. Nails. Heated body: internal heating to 37°C. Voice/AI: some have voice playback. Customisation makes the price 50-200% above the base.
For a first purchase. Start with a torso (not full-size): light, easy, relatively affordable at 150-400 euros. TPE material: fairly realistic at an accessible price. 2 openings (vagina+mouth or vagina+anus): covers basic scenarios. A branded make: WM Doll, Irontech, SE Doll; avoid cheap online imitations with unclear materials. Warranty and buyer reviews. A trial: the first doll teaches what you like. Then upgrade to a full-size 140-170 cm if interest continues.
A trans doll is an adult doll combining male and female characteristics. Most commonly: a female-appearing body with breasts + a penis; a female face; 2 or 3 openings (mouth, anus, some also an open vagina behind the penis). It comes in TPE or silicone, full-size or torso. Often with a removable penis for flexibility (it can be used as a female doll too). A more specialised category, with less variety but growing demand.
It's for various audiences: men attracted to trans women; bi-curious users exploring their desire without involving a third person; lesbian/queer people wanting an alternative partner; couples exploring kink; collectors/cosplayers. It isn't for just one profile, it's an option on equal footing with the other doll categories. In some Asian markets demand for trans dolls is among the highest.
Yes, a significant one. Advantages of a removable one. Flexibility of use: the same doll works as a trans or a female doll. Cleaning: the penis is removed and cleaned separately. Swapping: different penis sizes/shapes with the same doll. In storage: the doll goes in a case without the penis, easier transport. System: usually a magnetic connector or a click-on. Downside: removing/adding can get tiresome for frequent swapping.
Smaller than classic female dolls, but growing. The current picture. Big brands (WM Doll, SE Doll, Irontech) offer 5-15 trans models each. Specialised brands dedicated exclusively to trans dolls. They usually have 30-50% fewer customisations than female ones. Price typically in the same range as a comparable female doll. Delivery: some custom models need 6-10 weeks. In the Greek market, availability comes mainly through orders from abroad.
Similar to classic dolls, with two extra points. The penis: if removable, cleaned separately with warm water + mild soap; if fixed, rinsed in its natural position. The anal and oral openings: as in a classic female doll. Silicone: easy, no powder. TPE: talc afterwards so the surface doesn't get sticky. Check the magnetic connectors (if present) so they don't rust. Always dry fully before storage. Frequency: after every use.
