All You Need to Know About TPE Sex Dolls
When you buy sex dolls, you must have heard of TPE dolls. Next, let’s learn all You Need to Know About TPE Sex Dolls
1.What is TPE?
TPE, named Thermoplastic elastomer in English, is a kind of soft rubber material which can be processed by a general thermoplastic forming machine. TPE appearance is TPE color, black, translucent or transparent round particles. TPE materials can be processed by injection, extrusion, blow moulding, salivation and pouring. TPE has the characteristics of high elasticity, high strength, high resilience and injection moulding.
Environmental protection, non-toxic and safe, wide hardness range, excellent coloring, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, excellent processing performance, without vulcanization, can be recycled to reduce costs. It can be used for secondary injection moulding, coating and bonding with PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS and other matrix materials, and can also be formed separately.
So TPE is often used as skin material for sex dolls.
2.TPE VS Silica gel
When it comes to TPE, we have to talk about silica gel, another material widely used in the skin of sex dolls.
Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of silica gel and TPE.
The advantages of TPE:
- It is an ideal material to replace silica gel because it can recycle and save energy effectively.
- It has stable properties, good temperature resistance (use temperature range – 50 – 100 C), aging resistance, chemical resistance and solvent resistance. Processing performance is superior.
- Environmental protection, non-toxic and safe, with excellent coloring and soft touch. TPE material does not introduce heavy metals and toxic phthalate plasticizers in the production process, which meets the environmental protection test of ROHS, REACH, EN71, PAHS and FDA.
- Energy saving. Most thermoplastic elastomers do not need curing or curing time is very short, the production efficiency is greatly improved, and the forming cycle is short. This can speed up the production of dolls.
- It has the characteristics of high elasticity and injection moulding. Very close to the skin’s tou
The disadvantages of TPE:
- Usually the temperature can not exceed 80 C.
- TPE soft rubber dolls have a little gum or flavor added.
The advantages of Silica gel:
- Silicone gel is harder than TPE, so it is stronger than TPE in reality. So now some manufacturers will use silicone gel to make facial skin of sex doll and TPE to make body of sex doll, so as to achieve a balance of reality and cost.
- Silica gel dolls have high temperature resistance, low temperature, acid and alkali resistance. Except for highly corrosive products, silica gel dolls can hardly react with any substance. TPE soft rubber dolls are not heat-resistant and ageing-resistant as silica gel products. So silicone sex dolls can last longer.
The disadvantages of Silica gel:
- The raw material price of silica gel doll is several times that of TPE soft gel doll.
- Silicone dolls are easy to tear if they are not cared for properly.
3.Whether TPE is worth buying?
This is a question that many people have mentioned. You should consider the following factors:
- If your budget is only $800-1500, you can buy TPE sex dolls. TPE dolls are more cost-effective, and silicone dolls cost at least $2500 or more.
- If you are allergic to fragrances, then you’d better not buy TPE sex dolls, which may cause you to feel unwell.
- If you have a high demand for realistic dolls, there is no doubt that silicone dolls are a better choice.
- If your favorite doll has only TPE or silicone version, ok, then you really have no choice.
4.How to Maintain My TPE Doll
- About opening the package box. When the baby is taken out, please make sure it is not stained. It’s better to lay a blanket with it first to prevent some bedsheets, clothes, etc. from staining the Dolls.
- Regarding bathing, you can use bath gel to bathe your Dolls. You can wash it on a small bench or in a bathtub. Make sure that the neck joint does not enter the water. It is suggested to take off the head and wash the body separately. The neck joint can be wrapped in plastic bags.
- About the use of talcum powder. It’s not harmful to use talcum powder more, because it can insulate the skin of sex dolls from dust, and the skin will become smooth and not easy to be rubbed.
- About head mounting. It is suggested to put the screw on the neck first and then twist the head, so that the head won’t be disturbed by itself. Pretend your head before wearing a wig, and remember to comb it several times before wearing it.
- About sex dolls standing up. At present, most of the TPE sex dolls have iron sheets under their feet, which are not easy to pierce, so ordinary dolls can also stand against the wall for a short time. Standing with screw can stand independently for a long time, but screw is easy to break stockings and scrape the floor, and has been standing in a few cases, so generally not recommended standing.
- About posture. Generally, posture is not a problem in the range of physiological activities, but it is the safest position to lie down when used.
- About dressing. Pullovers are not easy to wear. It’s better to buy cardigans and wear them easily. If you really want to wear a pullover, take off your head first, raise your arms (it’s better to raise them flat, if you really want to lift them up, and don’t lift them for a long time), put your arms on first, then tie your neck.
- About dyeing. Light-colored clothes are safer than dark-colored clothes. If you are not sure about the cloth, you’d better wash it several times first, or wear silk stockings inside to separate it.
- About makeup. Baby face makeup can be washed off, so try not to wet your face when cleaning. Eyebrows are not easy to remove makeup, you can also use eyebrow brush. Lipstick is the easiest to lose. It is recommended that you use a cotton swab to cover it, or if there is no cotton swab, you can touch it with your fingers. It is not recommended to apply lipstick directly. It is not easy to operate.
