New member, hoping to buy a doll soon!

[MikhailN]

Hello! I've been a long time user of different sex toys for a while but I've wanted to buy a sex doll for the longest time. However, I've been worried about being scammed or potentially spending a lot of money on a doll that will not be good quality.

To give some brief information about myself, I'm currently a University student. I am not currently interested in dating or relationships with real people, as I am far too focused on my studies and my career. Hence why for the time being, I wish to get myself a doll companion who will help me feel less lonely, especially during such unusual times. (Although I hope that we're nearing the end of the pandemic)

One that I have been eyeing up for a little while has been the 90cm Akane Anime Doll by Dollhouse168 (https://www.tenderdolls.com/product/aka ... -sex-doll/). I'm interested in this one due to the fact that I'm a University student and I'll be able to hide it in my lockable room much easier and she seems to be one of the only dolls of her size to not look childlike. I must ask, has anyone here had experience with the doll or brand? And is TenderDolls reputable? I've seen they have a Trustpilot with 80~ reviews and with how detailed their website are and the fact they only accept PayPal it seems legit enough.

I'd love some recommendation on dolls of a similar size and price. I'd be spending a lot of money on this and I'd like something that can last a lonely University boy like me for a while. Thank you everyone who reads this and I'm looking forward to partaking in talking with people on this website!

Hey!
Also new user here in search of information and thinking about getting a smaller doll that is not child like.

I haven't made my mind yet because I am still saving money but those are the options I've found so far:

DH168 (or Irokebijin) Akane 90cm
https://thedollchannel.com/product/in-s ... -cm-akane/
I only posted this link here because I don't know much about Tenderdolls, but I know that Ricky from TheDollChannel does a good job with customer communication. I haven't bought any doll with him yet but he produces a lot of nice content.

Elsababe 102cm
https://www.elsababe.com/index.php/sili ... /102-dolls
Elsababe is very active in this forum, they also seem to have a nice customer support. Personally I like their design more than Akane, but their dolls are more expensive if you also consider shipping, take longer to deliver and apparently their head tend to pop off quite easily.

JM Dolls
http://www.jmdoll.com/M/en_productList.asp?SortID=3
There are many smaller and compact sized dolls on their website and they are the cheapest options I've found so far. But the drawbacks is that it seems like their TPE is not that high quality and the skeletons are wire. (I also don't like their designs very much, but that's personal opinion)

Six House Dolls 59cm BJD, 60cm BJD and 73cm silicone
https://dollto-china.com/six-house-sili ... dolls.html
From what I saw on foruns, Doll to China seems to be a legit vendor. What really interested me in those dolls is that they have the size and measurement of BJDs, making it much easier to get clothes and also "camouflage" them as collection dolls. I just find them quite experiensive and they're probably gonna be less cuddly than the slightly bigger TPE/Silicone dolls

Estartek BJD 58cm
https://www.estartek.com/product/53cm-e ... gure-doll/
Last but not least, Estartek also sells 58cm BJD sex dolls. Apparently those are the same as the Six House 58cm but the body is the older model, which has less posing capabilities and hard breasts, but I guess pess hinges means less chance for something to break.

Honorable mention to the Elsababe mini doll masturbators:

and MRL mini doll masturbators:

I've never tried the Elsababe Masturbators but I have the Elf from MRL. They're beautifully scumpted but at least the MRL ones are soft, but not that much. Which is good for durability but if you're not used to it, it might not feel very good when using it.

Well, that's it.
That's all I gathered so far and it really amuses me that nobody talks about most of those dolls on this forum.
At least I can't find deep discussions about them.

Welcome to TDF!

I have not heard of that company. If you want other recommendations, my Tina is 72cm while Yulia is a torso doll. Both are easily stored, lightweight, and lots of fun. Breanna is even smaller (a true torso doll). All are listed in my signature block.

Minis can be fun, would consider a reliable vendor if the site sends up alarms. 6yE has a curvy 65cm too. viewtopic.php?p=1599535#p1599535

Hey!
and MRL mini doll masturbators:
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/100500202 ... .jpg_.webp

I've never tried the Elsababe Masturbators but I have the Elf from MRL. They're beautifully scumpted but at least the MRL ones are soft, but not that much. Which is good for durability but if you're not used to it, it might not feel very good when using it.

Curious to hear more about the MRL figure masturbators. There seem to be a lot of different stores that carry these but the prices all over the place and some websites look sketchy. Which store did you buy it from? I like the sculpts for sure but wondering if they're way too tight/hard to use like the Elsababe ones.

Hey friend!

I bought mine directly from their Store page at AliExpress.
https://m.aliexpress.com/store/v3/home. ... =index.htm

I agree that it looks sketchy and confusing that they lost the same model multiple times with different prices. But I was curious about it and decided to buy one to give it a try.

Again, they are beautifully sculpted but they are tight indeed. If you are used to stuff like onaholes or flashlights, I would guess the MRL ones are twice as tight.
For me it feels good some times, others is too much. Hardnto say because in the end the acceptable level of tightness is very relative.

[BenJonsonBen]

Oh!
I forgot to mention: I don't know if you are aware but ElsaBabe is working on a larger version of their masturbators. It looks like they're twice as big and dual channel.

But there is no release date yet.
I was considering a Mini Doll but am waiting for more information on those as I might end up buying one instead.
(For me it's really important to have the backdoor entrance and almost none of the minidolls have it.)

Dollhouse168 is a very good brand... its the same manufacture as Piper Doll.

Good luck with your search!

[SMdoll]

We also provide mini dolls, please contact me!

I highly recommend the 136cm elf by SM.

I own a TPE one right now and am planning on getting a silicone one in the future.

3 of my dolls are SM brand and all of them are great and haven't had any issues.

The 136cm is a bit taller than the other ones you mentioned but she is quite small and would be easy to hide if needed.
