"Textured Skin" option

Hello,

I will buy an Sanhui product and I see the "Textured skin" option. The texture seems to be close to the skin but how is the skin without this option ?
I don't find any photos for this case ...

Look at my posts on Sanhui in there posting section. I just purchased a 168cm with part of the doll textured and part not. Extremely satisfied with there dolls.

Is this the video or the photo where there is no textured skin?

Yes and there is texture in various places and I ordered a new 158cm with textured skin all over the body. It actually feels very nice and adds realism. It is very subtle and hard to see in pictures or videos.

After having two Sanhui dolls, since 2017 and my 3rd waiting for factory pics, I have come to a personal preference based on multiple little reasons. I actually can not say if this option is worth it, however I have read veteran doll owners and newbies rave about how cool it is. I had it on my first doll and I didnt really pay attention to it. My doll was constantly clothed from head to toe and if not, was in a kimono or bath robe. I can not prove this but I am of the opinion that over time the wear and tear of clothes and contact erodes and smooths the texture like a smooth rock. I dont have the patience to test this but it makes sense in my mind. Like all solids, silicone has to follow the laws of phisics too.

Lighting. Lighting with dolls is different than lighting with humans. Over time I came to prefer moderately dim lighting when hanging out with my doll. So unless my eyes were close to her skin all the time I didnt get to enjoy the texture to its fullest extent. Its really different when taking a picture of a doll at home versus seeing the professional photos for marketing dolls and I get it. I wanna say its HARD to photo dolls but its not, its just different. thier skin absorbs and reflects light way differenty than humans. So for me personally to enjoy the texture on the skin the light has to be bright and my eyes close to the surface.

It all depends what you will primarily be doing with your doll. And then there is skin tone to choose. my first doll was the darkest tone available. She came to me looking like and absolute beautiful hybrid of Arab/Oriental heritage. 2nd doll was tone 3. New doll is tone 2. i can say the darker the skin the harder to see the fine details.

Also I like to take my glasses off when wrestling with my doll so again, no benefits of textured skin if im not wearing my glasses. After 4 years I have never regreted or wished I had chose textured skin. Even after I got the photography bug.

Im not trying to tell you its not worth it. MANY people swear by it and sing songs about it when they review their doll. Im just explaining why I dont choose it for me.

Good luck deciding,
Manabu

For the price of like 65$ or so imo its a very nice feature to have. Without it the skin shines a bit more, the skin textures gives the doll a more matte finish plus of course you have skin texture.

For me at least, it was soft breast, soft vagina (if I ordered another one) and all the permanate pigmentations. Good I love sanhui's implanted hair but for me in a bit careless so a high quality wig rather than implanted hair.

Just don't go overboard with the feature, you can easily add 800$

The same is true for me, I take off my glasses and in the end, I risk taking an option that will smooth out over time and that I could not visually enjoy.

My fear is to have an ultra-bright doll, which would break the immersion.

If it were up to me, I would have taken all the options.
But my banker wouldn't think so.

It‘s not the visual effect, it‘s more tactile. And she needs less powdering. The textured skin is not as sticky as the smooth skin. It is an option I‘d choose if I‘d ever buy another sanhui.
