What would be the ideal weight of your male doll.

Hello everyone, :D

The weight of male dolls is a burning question that often comes up on the forum.

Indeed, whether you are a man or a woman, their weight is a real problem!

Often users are forced to equip themselves with wheelchairs and other lifting machines in order to manipulate their male dolls...

It's not normal, I don't want my accommodation to become a hospital room!

So here is my question, dear friends:

For you, what would be the ideal weight for your male doll?

And what would be the maximum weight not to exceed?

Thank you for your answers. :razz:

agree. this is i would say 60 is a good weight for a doll. Enough to be heavy, but manageable, and never a safety risk.

Hello friends,

Thank you for your answers.

I believe we are around a similar weight range.

In my case it would be between 50 and 55 pounds (22 and 25 kg)

Maybe, and I hope, that other members will answer my question to know what weight they want for their male dolls.

I think it is necessary to come forward to be heard by our dear manufacturers.

This post is also made for them in order to guide them on our requests.

Owners of both genders should be able to handle a male doll of 50 lbs (without the head). Dressing and posing him would be a breeze!

I wonder how heavy a posable foam doll base in a silicone muscle suit would be?

Hello Poseoasis,

Yes, that's what it's about:

Resonable weight of male dolls so that they are easily manipulated and moved without making great efforts and without the need for machines to do so.

The techniques you put forward seem to be interresting.

Hi, sebast. I'm glad you posted this thread. My WM 160cm weighs 36.8kg/81.1 lbs and even though he's one of the lighter dolls, it's still quite an effort to lift him. (I'm female so I don't have as much strength in my arms as most men do.) I'd be happy to see a 160cm doll produced at roughly half the weight: 20kg/44 lbs. Although I think a lot of realism in regard to the body would be sacrificed in the process. I would not want to exceed 25kg/55 lbs.

Hello True_blue,

I am a man and I recognize that above 30 Kg the slightest manipulation becomes complicated...

Especially when you have back pain, it's hell!

So I am in solidarity with you.

I completely agree with you on the weight:

25 Kg (55 lbs) seems ideal to me because in the average of the weight desired by the members who expressed themselves.

It's both light enough to handle without too much effort and heavy enough to feel the mass of a body.

I am working on that.. For this doll I am building I am using a modified doll skeleton that I had welded together out of 2 different doll skeletons, packed with foam is going into a spandex bodysuit, so hopefully I can get it into the silicone suit easier.. Then I will cast his hands and feet out of dyed silicone. I am estimating with just with the materials I have he will weigh around 65lbs (30kg) and will be a little over 6 feet (180-185cm).

The packing of the suit I am using a variety of foam density to simulate the muscular structure with it's different masses.. That is one thing I find discomforting about the dolls body, is the lack of various densities in the human body.. This is what I plan to do when I do weight reductions on the dolls is pack the areas I remove TPE with foam that will provide the feeling of the muscular structure in a man's body.. I have visions of being able to buff up Agares as we all know WM males have skinny arms and legs..

It would be easier if the manufacturers would update the skeletons to stronger and lighter material, that didn't break so easily. I have seen some horrible damage done to dolls because of crappy welding on the cheapest stainless steel.. With whatever foam they have found that can handle the molding process of TPE dolls. They really only need about 4cm thick tpe over the foam.. For more of the jiggly in the butts and for female dolls in the breast offer gel filled.. Just a thought

Hi sebast. It's nice to hear that you agree on 25kg/55lbs being a manageable weight. I wish the doll manufacturers would pay attention to what we want and start making much lighter male dolls!

hello muesky,

We have the same criteria on the weight of male dolls, moreover many of us share the same opinions:

That male dolls are far too heavy!

Unity is strength, we must come together to be heard by manufacturers.

That's why I created this thread, the more testimonials there will be, the more manufacturers will rush to create male dolls as beautiful as they are light (25kg).

I am glad you created this thread and that many are already participating. Now if the doll manufacturers will take note...

Hello DG,

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Manufacturers have everything to gain from listening to constructive criticism from their customers, otherwise it would be very unfortunate!

I think many customers are disappointed with their first purchase of dolls because of the considerable weight which makes them unusable...

The dolls would be lighter I'm sure that would comfort many customers in a second doll purchase (see more).

A good hearing gentlemen manufacturers.

I think around 160cm and 25Kg would be the best

Hello Nyd,

Thank you for your participation.

This weight of 25 Kg seems to be the one that makes everyone agree...

Neither too light nor too heavy, the ideal weight to cuddle without hurting yourself :razz: .

I am still waiting for other answers from members, the more of us there are to express themselves, the better we will be heard.
