Re: Review 158 Silicone with Isla head
Well, what tunnel sizes and design concerns, we doll users aren´t built all the same. Both (erect) length and diameter. Then comes sensitivity. Some are oversensitive and get finished in half a minute. Others need a snatching and sucking pussy so they feel anything at all. Doll manufacturers need putting far more thought into all of this and listen to their customers. THEN think about how to design the "pussy complex" needed by particular customer groups. THEN design the doll around it if they want selling a "sex doll" and not just a perfect looking mannequin IMO. The "pussy complex" also needs skeleton design around it considered. The U shape hip skeleton part is highly inappropriate when comparing with human female pelvic and its inner functions. I think the current trend to focus on silicone and exaggerated exterior details is a dead end. Those who also focus on the "inner values" can very likely win a leading market role. The more if an appropriate "pussy complex" solution is paired with i.e doll weight reduction and center of gravity optimization. Maybe manufacturers doll designers should start "testing" their own products and that for extended periods. Maybe they get the idea then.DollCommander wrote: ↑Sun Dec 25, 2022 10:51 pmExperienced silicone manufacturers size the openings and tunnels appropriately so extreme tightness and tearing is not an issue.

But yeah manufacturers should test all products (all products/industries, not just dolls) before releasing.
So, the thing with silicone is that it can be as soft or even softer (touch/feel) than TPE, but it will never be as elastic; this is why silicone is gaurenteed to tear unless openings are appropriately sized (whatever opening size works for an individual in TPE, that same individual would need a larger opening in a silicone version) and engineered (optimizing molds to eliminate/reduce stress risers etc.) in general. All else being the same, silicone openings must be larger than TPE to combat tearing, it is a natural limitation of the material.

Re: Review 158 Silicone with Isla head
So you can of course also ensure that customers bounce. I have better experience with non-TDF accredited manufacturers.
Too bad, YL still has a few nice bodies in the program, but my learning curve is quite steep.

Re: Review 158 Silicone with Isla head
The doll was reviewed right after she arrived. So what you see is what you get.wondering wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 7:37 pm What alarmed me was that your picture of her private parts didn't look anything like the picture from YL. Did you wear down her labia from constant use or did YL have a specially prepared doll for the advertising pictures? I, too, think I will keep looking elsewhere after some of the negatives I've seen.

Re: Review 158 Silicone with Isla head
There was a revision to the vagina specifically after the very first promo photos. There is a thread about it.wondering wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 7:37 pm What alarmed me was that your picture of her private parts didn't look anything like the picture from YL.

Re: Review 158 Silicone with Isla head
Would you mind sending me a private message regarding "considerations"? I have this and the 153 in my wish list.DollCommander wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 12:51 pm Nice review! I've had my 158 silicone for around a month now and my experience with her is pretty close to yours. I was thinking about doing a review, but not sure if I will. There are some things about this model that should be considered before purchase, especially at anything above the introductory promo price (approx. $1,7XX).
