Going to buy a doll
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2024 6:16 pm
Hi everyone,
Happy to introduce myself to everyone! I joined the forum out of curiosity years ago, but more recently, when I found out I am going to become single again, I have become serious about buying a full size doll, say about 4'11" to 5'3". I've had two wives, marriages that both lasted many years, and while I have no regrets, I just am not interested in remarrying. Marriage is a lot of work, and while it took me many years to get to this point, I'm now ready to just be on my own. But I want the feeling of the presence of a woman, and a substitute that is nice to look at and hug and snuggle with and of course to have sex with whenever I feel like it. I'm fine with my personal relationships with real women just being friendly and platonic.
So lately I have been reading a lot on the forums and looking at vendor and manufacturer sites.
I want to say this is such a wonderfully supportive and informative forum. I really appreciate it.
Sometime in the next several months I am planning to buy a doll, but I'm still in the middle of thinking about different options and would like further feedback regarding the points I make below about different options.
I considered starting with a Kimber, but I just do not like the face. I considered getting a Kimber then buying a separate head, but I have read on here some people feel the Kimber tpe is not of good enough quality and I wondered what people think about that. And the body is not exactly what I'd like, although it is nice enough. I still wonder about that option though.
I also considered buying a non-approved more inexpensive a---i doll, but people on the forum do urge that you go with a more known quantity that has more consistently high quality so I changed my mind about that. I'm still considering.
And I also like the look of the Zelex SLE dolls, I'm just not sure about it because it's a newer material, softness between TPE and soft silicone. Is it more realistic to the touch, more like a toned body than TPE? Is TPE too squishy? And I don't know if the SLE will hold makeup. I'd also be interested in member's thoughts on this.
After doing a lot of reading and considering, I am considering a WM doll that is light weight but with decent sized (DD,E,F,G,H) breasts and a thin waist and not a big butt.
I am not as interested in the versimilitude of silicone, more in the soft feeling of TPE. The TPE doll heads and bodies look real enough for me from the various factory photos and videos I have seen.
I like these bodies:
wmdoll-155cm-dd-cup-body
wmdoll-158cm-g-cup-body
Here are some links to an approved vendor for the bodies:
https://www.sexdolls-shop.com/product/w ... -cup-body/
https://www.sexdolls-shop.com/product/w ... -cup-body/
Does anyone have other suggestions for bodies in this arena? They don't HAVE to be WM doll bodies.
Another question - I was wondering what exactly the option to coat the lips means? And would I then be not able to change the lip color?
I would like to be able to make up the doll to my tastes and change that periodically. That is another reason I am considering TPE, I gather it's easier to make up than silicone.
I really like the look of the WM #237 head. I've look at the marketing photos and also several factory photos. Does anyone have any links to a live moving video with that head?
Can anyone share any pics besides the ones I've found here on the forum and out on the doll factory photos site? I also found a few factory photos on X.
I don't like the new bimbo doll head. #237 is the only one with exaggerated features that I like. I also like and am open to dolls with beautiful faces. I know they are almost all really pretty, but the most attractive heads. I know the makeup and marketing photos can obscure this, so I wonder what your thoughts on the most attractive and yet still sexy heads are.
I would like to be able to make up and dress up a doll and take photos of specific scenarios that interest me, but I don't care if the photo is indistinguishable from a real woman. I'd like to be able to stand the doll up without spending hundreds on a stand and I wonder what options people have found for this. I also understand you can request a bolt in the upper back to stand the doll up, and I am wondering exactly how that works, like maybe with photos where the bolt is visibly in use? And I assume this back bolt can be removed when desired and screwed back in when needed again?
Thanks so much!
