Sex dolls originated from inflatable dolls, which were made of rubber or PVC, had a simple structure, and were formed into a basic human shape by inflating with air. Their advantages were low price and relative ease of production. With economic development and the gradual increase in human demand, inflatable dolls slowly evolved into today’s adult sex dolls, which are closer to real human bodies in shape and feel—in other words, realistic sex dolls.

Adult realistic sex dolls come in two types: TPE and silicone, we will introduce the differences between TPE and silicone below:

What’s TPE Sex Dolls?
A TPE sex doll is a realistic doll made primarily from Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), a soft, flexible, and skin-like material. TPE sex dolls are designed to provide a lifelike appearance and touch, and they are widely used in the adult doll industry due to their comfort and affordability.

TPE outer body: Soft, elastic, and skin-friendly material
Internal metal skeleton: Allows the doll to hold different poses
Head (TPE or silicone): With detailed facial features

What’s Silicone Sex Dolls?
Silicone is a high-molecular-weight elastic material with a main chain composed of silicon-oxygen bonds, possessing excellent flexibility, aging resistance with chemical stability. A silicone doll is designed for realism, durability, and a natural, skin-like feel. The silicone material is renowned for its durability and detailed realism.

Most TPE and silicone sex dolls mimic human anatomy, possessing three passages: a mouth, vagina, and anus. The sex doll industry is now mature, evolving from simple dolls to those with realistic features such as body heating, automatic vaginal suction, breathing, oral sex suction, automatic oral sex, automatic hip movement, moaning (groans), and more recently, AI dialogue and AI robots. Manufacturers are adding increasingly realistic and interesting functions to their dolls, giving us more and more customization options. In short, this industry is booming.
