What Should Beginners Consider When Choosing a Japanese Love Doll?

Japanese sex dolls are famous for their exquisite craftsmanship and lifelike design—but beginners should consider several key factors before making a purchase.

1. Material Matters: Silicone vs. TPE

The most important decision is choosing the material.

Silicone dolls are firmer but offer more detailed facial features, longer-lasting makeup, and better realism—ideal for collectors and those who appreciate anime or figure-like aesthetics.

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) dolls are softer and smoother to the touch, but slightly less realistic in appearance and cannot be implanted with real hair. They're better suited for those on a budget or who prioritize physical intimacy.

Pro Tip: For a balance between realism and comfort, consider a silicone head with a TPE body.

2.Size & Weight Considerations

Choosing the right size is important for ease of use and storage:

Smaller dolls (140cm–150cm) are easier to move, clean, and store—ideal for apartment living or limited spaces.

Larger dolls (e.g., 170cm) can weigh 36kg or more, while a 158cm doll typically weighs around 27kg.

Make sure to select a doll that suits your physical strength and available space.

3. Customization Options

Most Japanese doll brands offer extensive customization options, allowing you to choose:

Face typeSkin toneEye and hair colorWig styles and more

This ensures your doll reflects your personal aesthetic preference.

 4. After-Sales Support

Reliable after-sales support is critical, especially for long-term ownership.

Choose a manufacturer or dealer that offers technical assistance, spare parts, and responsive customer service in case you need maintenance or repairs.

5. Price vs. Quality

Authentic Japanese sex dolls are not cheap.

Low-budget dolls under $100 usually lack quality and may be unsafe.

For mini toys or internal sleeves, around $50–$100 might be enough.

For full-body love dolls, you should budget at least $1,000 or more to get a well-crafted, durable product.

Invest wisely—you get what you pay for in this category.
