2. Materials: Silicone & TPE

2.1 Medical silicone

Medical-grade silicone is non-porous, hypoallergenic, and easy to maintain. It retains its texture and color even after hundreds of cleanings and replicates body heat thanks to its thermal memory. Ideal for demanding users, it offers a realistic and durable feel.

2.2 Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)

TPE is softer and often less expensive. It feels very close to skin, but requires extra care when cleaning and drying. To maintain its softness, regularly apply a light finishing powder.

3. Sizes & Templates

Sex dolls come in several sizes:

  • Compact (120–140 cm) : easy to store and transport, ideal for beginners.
  • Standards (145–150 cm) : perfect compromise between realism and maneuverability.
  • Large size (160 cm+) : more stable and visually impressive.

Choose based on your space, budget, and intended use. Want to compare all sizes? Check out our 2025 Sex Toy Guide for a complete overview of the best options.

4. Personalization & options

Modularity and customization allow you to create a unique sex doll:

  • Interchangeable heads and faces
  • Implanted hair or wigs
  • Various eyes and makeup
  • Integrated heating systems
  • Adjustable fillings to adjust weight and firmness

Customization isn't just about looks: some models offer different internal textures to vary the feel.

Beyond the basic options, you can leverage cutting-edge technologies to personalize and enhance your sex doll experience:

The most advanced models now incorporate tactile surfaces with haptic feedback, simulating pressure reactions on contact with surprising realism. This innovation, coupled with temperature sensors, allows the doll's warmth to be automatically adjusted to match body temperature, without manual intervention. This allows you to immerse yourself in an immersive approach where the doll responds to your gestures, creating an interaction faithful to natural sensations.

Personalization can also be achieved through 3D printing: some brands offer the possibility of 3D scanning a face, a torso, or a clothing accessory and adding it to your doll. This technique allows you to create faces in your image, or to integrate precise anatomical details, for a companion perfectly adapted to your aesthetic and sensory expectations. The creation of these custom pieces is free or at low cost, as 3D printing, in continuous progress, becomes increasingly economical and rapid.

On the surface fiber side, shape-memory coatings are making their appearance. These microfibers, held in silicone or TPE, subtly retract to mimic the slight fluffiness of fine hairs, intensifying tactile perception in erogenous zones. Cleaning remains simple: a gentle rinse is enough to remove all traces of lubricant, without altering the texture or suppleness of the material.

To enhance your sense of connection, you can opt for a sex doll equipped with modular compartments that can be downloaded and inserted. Imagine adding a vein enhancer, an aromatherapy insert, or even a harmless pheromone diffuser that releases a subtle scent with each touch: these multi-sensory innovations enhance immersion and can open up new avenues of olfactory and tactile exploration.

Customization isn't limited to high-tech options: many users are creating their own accessories using home 3D printers or makerspaces. Protective resin cases, custom travel cases, or stands tailored to fit your usual furniture: the DIY sex doll community is growing and sharing STL files to allow everyone to find or design the perfect accessory.

Finally, the social and community dimension is gaining momentum: forums, private groups, and specialized networks offer maintenance advice, feedback, and customization tutorials. You'll find step-by-step guides for creating realistic makeup, applying temporary tattoos, or even sewing cosplay outfits for your sex doll. This collective support guarantees a longer lifespan for your investment and stimulates everyone's creativity. Learn more about sex dolls (Wikipedia)

These technological additions and innovations enhance your sex doll beyond a simple object of pleasure.
