FAQ

All about Sex Dolls

What positions can be practiced with sex dolls?

You can enjoy almost all sexual positions with your sex doll. From missionary, dogy-style, to horsie, to sitting or standing sex. With a steel skeleton and movable joints, the sex doll can be moved and positioned like a real person.

Where can I find the exact dimensions of sex dolls?

Exact measurements for all body types can be found in the product description. Here you will see information about breast, hip, waist, mouth, anal and vagina size.

What materials are sex dolls made of?

We offer high quality medical grade silicone sex dolls and TPE sex dolls, read this article or contact us.

What is TPE material

TPE or thermoplastic elastomer is a mixture of rubber and plastic, which makes it flexible and easier to work with. This mixture of rubber and plastic has thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. It can be repeatedly stretched and returns to its original shape immediately.

TPE is widely used in the manufacture of sex dolls, due to its ability to mold, soft texture and flexible properties. It is soft to the touch and feels more like real human skin. The TPE material is tested to be completely safe for humans. More about TPE material...

Fixed or removable vagina?

A fixed, or "built-in" vagina is a direct replica of a real woman's vagina, which also means you can't remove it from the sex doll. A removable vagina is a cylinder with a hole that you insert inside your sex doll and remove when you need to clean it. Which one to choose? Our customers usually prefer a built-in vagina because it gives them an almost indistinguishable experience compared to a real woman. However, the removable vagina is easier to clean and you can change it if you want a different kind of vagina. Both of these options are great choices, but if you value realism, you should stick with a built-in vagina, and if you want ease of use and maintenance, you should choose a removable vagina. In this article you'll learn the pros and cons of both options.

Do these sex dolls contain toxic materials?

Not in the slightest. Our team will be happy to provide you with full material testing reports if required. However, all of our manufacturing facilities are regularly inspected and tested to make sure your sex doll is 100% safe.

TPE and silicone sex dolls do not contain any harmful, toxic or allergenic materials or chemicals. TPE and silicone sex dolls are sterilized and manufactured with similar procedures as sex toys. If you have a history of silicone allergy, we do not recommend using a sex sex doll.

How close to the product photos will my sex doll resemble?

Each sex doll model has a custom mold that cannot be modified and into which silicone or TPE is injected. The shape is therefore always the same. We can make your sex doll the same as in the product photos if you choose the parameters "Same from photos" and indicate this in the order notes. Or you can choose different custom parameters and create your own model. Before we ship each order, we always send photos of the finished product, where it is still possible, with a response within 24 hours, to adjust the makeup, wig and eyes.

Why isn't the wig in the product photos in the parameter menu

Wigs in product photos, unfortunately, are often used for photo shoot purposes only, outside of the normal range. You have the option to add 1 free wig to your order. So choose a similar one or write "Same from photos, if not so XY" in the box for the second wig. We cannot promise availability of the same, but we will do our best.

Do you only sell sex dolls heads?

Yes, we have separate sex dolls heads.

Do you sell male sex dolls?

Yes, we have Male Dolls.

What is the best way to warm up sex dolls?

Some brands of sex dolls have built-in body part heating. You can also buy an electric blanket or USB heating stick that can be inserted into various holes of the sex dolls in order to warm them up.

I would like a fantasy sex doll. Can you make me one?

Yes! We already have several standard fantasy sex dolls available including custom skin tones, specialty and animal

Can my sex doll sit, stand, and hold positions?

Yes, you can set your sex doll up in most positions that the average person can reach without pain. However, sex dolls can't completely support their own weight and sometimes require support for certain poses. A sex doll can hold the position you place it in as long as no strong pressures are applied to the limbs in that pose.

Can sex dolls stand upright, unsupported?

A standard sex doll cannot stand unsupported. The skeletal system is too flexible and collapsible to allow the dolls to stand upright. The sex doll has the balanced and relaxed state of a sleeping girl. The skeleton will maintain its position until a strong force, such as gravity, acts against it. We try to take many of our photos of sex dolls without props, but in some images the props have been removed for artistic quality. A sex doll can sit without support.

Most of our sex dolls come with a "Standing Legs" option, where supports are added to the skeletal system for standing.

Can a sex doll reproduce all sexual positions?

Here you will need to use support to distribute weight for many positions, such as on a doggie. Shoulder, elbow and knee joints sex dolls need to be in balance to distribute the weight. We recommend supporting the sex dolls upper body with pillows to ensure that this position is maintained during use. Leaning the sex dolls against a table or sofa also allows the position from behind.

How do I pose and protect my sex dolls arms?

Always make sure your hands are close to your body when moving your sex doll. Never let your sex doll fall on your hands, as this could cause the wires of your fingers to tear through the silicone. Always place your hands gently and do not put pressure on your fingers. If one of the finger wires should come out, you can easily push it back into the silicone.

How strong are the joints?

The joints on sex dolls are made of stainless steel. They are very strong and are designed to bend in a very human-like way. Although the joints are strong, bending a joint in an unnatural way or setting sex dolls in a position that would be difficult for most people could lead to a broken joint and is considered abuse of sex dolls. Joints can be stiff when the sex doll is new and joints should be posed using a firm two-handed grip on either side of the joint, taking care not to twist the silicone unnaturally. The joints may make a slight creaking sound, which is normal and will become less noticeable over time. Loosening of the joints with use should be expected.

How flexible are sex dolls?

The TPE or silicone skin is extremely flexible and will hold almost any reasonable position. There are positions that are more stressful on both the skin and the internal joints. Most sex dolls cannot be "twisted into a pretzel", squeezed into a tight fetal position, or squeezed into a small storage space and not be expected to break or tear. These sex dolls are designed to be operated in positions that are natural and painless for most adults. Excessive stress on the joint can result in breakage.

What is the joint range of sex dolls?

Most sex dolls joints have a very good range of motion - in most cases about 180 degrees or more. The skeleton used in the latest dolls moves in almost every way a real human being does - including squatting. However, these new skeletons (EVO) are not available in all brands.

How to have sex with a TPE or silicone sex doll?

Sex dolls have 3 inputs for penetration - oral, anal and vaginal. Male sex dolls have 2 inputs for penetration - oral and anal. These inlets are designed to provide maximum pleasure and are made of durable silicone or TPE. Although the holes are designed to fit most sizes, we are able to use smaller, or larger inserts per special request. However, this is very rare. For the best pleasure with your sex doll ALWAYS use a water-based lubricant!

How does it feel when having sex with a sex doll?

How does it feel when kissing and touching with sex dolls?

Sex dolls are made to feel "just like the real thing". They are soft to the touch and very realistic. Facial features and body parts are modeled after real women and then often enhanced to suit your needs.

Kissing can seem very realistic! The face is soft, you can put your tongue in her mouth and feel hers. The sex dolls breasts are soft, beautifully shaped and very realistic to the touch.

What is oral sex with sex dolls like?

The oral opening has very soft, flexible lips, ultra soft tongue (depending on the choice of face design), soft teeth (depending on the face design). The inside of the mouth is wrinkled for a very pleasing effect.

What is vaginal sex like with sex dolls?

The sex doll vagina is where most of the care and attention is directed. The inside of the vaginal entrances have a texture and shape that make you feel very much like having real sex. The doll's labia can be stretched very realistically.

When penetrated, the sex dolls will create a vacuum that provides a powerful suction effect. This specific feature delivers very intense orgasms.

What is anal sex like with sex dolls?

Like the vagina, the anus is anatomically perfect and simulates the actual sensation of anal sex. It is tighter than a vagina and a completely different feeling. If you're more of an asshole, you'll love the look and feel of her anus.

How realistic are breasts on a sex doll?

Realism depends on several factors. Silicone breasts are much more realistic than TPE. At the same time, in TPE, some people like hollow (semi-rigid) breasts, while some like the feel of firm breasts.

Can my sex doll change facial expressions or wink?

Even if faces can't change expressions and don't close their eyes, we offer versions of faces with closed eyes, or with facial expressions of pleasure and moans.

What type of people buy sex dolls?

There is no specific type of person who buys sex dolls. Although it is a relatively new sex toy, society already accepts sex dolls quite normally, like thousands of other sex toys, and it should not be a taboo. Sexuality is a perfectly natural thing. Our customers include people from all walks of life, such as photographers, filmmakers, scientists, artisans, medical professionals, housewives, single men and women, couples seeking to enrich their sex lives, or anyone who desires to own a realistic sex doll.

How can I order a doll?

Here is an article, how to shop.

Sex Doll Options & Upgrades

Is it possible to adjust the breast size?

Unfortunately no. Each sex doll model is made by injection molding silicone or TPE into pre-made molds that cannot be reshaped. This ensures an identical product every time.

If you have specific requirements, we can create a custom body and head mold for you, according to the photos you send us.

Do you offer transsexual sex dolls?

Yes, we offer a transsexual penis adapter on almost all sex dolls. This is a penis adapter that can be inserted into the sex dolls vagina and turn it into a trans-doll.

Can I use my sex doll without lube?

No way! Always use water-based lubricant, otherwise your sex dolls will be irreversibly damaged.

What items are included in a sex doll order?

All sex doll orders, include the chosen body, head, wig, simple dress, gloves, USB heater for sex dolls holes and a blanket to wrap the sex dolls, for storage. Unfortunately, sex dolls cannot be ordered with the outfit that is in the pictures. The extra accessories can be purchased separately.

What are hollow, firm and gel breasts?

This is a matter of each individual's preference, and in general it is not possible to recommend the right option to suit you.

Hollow breasts:

They are very soft and pleasant to the touch. They are filled with an air pocket. You can choose this option on almost all models that are C-cup or D-cup and above.

Firm breasts:

Firm breasts in larger sizes are sometimes compared to the feel of silicone breast implants, which can sometimes look unnatural, but are still the most chosen option.

Gel breasts:

A novelty that is being introduced by most manufacturers as time goes on, it is probably the most realistic breast enhancement in shape, and feel.

Please note that hollow and gel breasts may not be available from all manufacturers and on all models. For smaller breasts, the hollow and gel breast option is usually not available from most manufacturers.

What is an EVO frame?

It is a more modern innovation in the structural ability of sex dolls that allows for greater flexibility in the hip area and allows for better control in sitting positions. The sex doll can also perform a position known as the "Asian squat"

EVO Skeleton has several key benefits that DollForever exclusively offers for its brands (including Piper Doll and Doll House 168 2019):

Ramens can be bent
The spine bends in all four directions
Legs bend into a squat to touch buttocks
Legs bend to W position

Legs with or without the ability to stand?

The skin on the legs is soft, and the sex dolls "No Standing" position will damage the appearance of the legs by breaking the skin, or bending the lower skeleton. Sex dolls made "With standing option" not only have screws on the foot, but also have a different "foot plate" attached to the inner skeleton that is larger and allows the screws to transfer weight from the frame directly to the ground.

Basically, the footplates are three weight bearing points that are on the underside of the feet to ensure weight is distributed from the skeleton directly to the floor (without applying force to the soft TPE or silicone). They also offer more stability when standing, but the weight must be evenly distributed.

In most cases, you need a three-point stance (i.e., a wall or some sort of structure to lean against) for a sex doll to actually "stand". More in this article.

Fixed or removable vagina?

Both variants are now almost identical in appearance, where the insertable insert may not be visible at first glance. Here are the differences, advantages and disadvantages of the two variants in detail.

What makeup will my sex doll come with?

When it comes to makeup, semi-permanent makeup will be used in the base. It's water and touch resistant and light wear and tear, but most makeup will eventually wash off with normal cleaning (with the exception of permanent makeup, which is advertised mostly on silicone models). You can reapply the makeup yourself with regular, non-aggressive drugstore makeup.

When the sex doll is finished, you will receive factory photos of it. Although the makeup artists make every effort to recreate the makeup from the product photos, it is not guaranteed to be a 100% match. If you are not satisfied with the makeup, you must respond to the photos sent within 24 hours before the sex doll will be shipped.

Also - it is not possible to reproduce exactly the exact same makeup as the makeup is applied by hand by makeup artists, and each makeup may have its own subtle artistic touch.

What are sound and internal body heating systems?

Sound and moaning system

It is installed in the back of the head (hidden under the wig), or on the back, between the shoulder blades. They use an internal battery that is charged by an adapter, just like a cell phone, by plugging it into an electrical outlet in the wall.

In some manufacturers, the sound system is supplemented with motion and touch sensors that interact with each other. Some, such as Sino-doll also offer voice commands, to which the sex doll responds with answers or a pleasurable moan.

Body heating system

It is a set of heating bodies under the sex dolls skin that are powered by the mains. When heating, the plug must be connected to the sex doll and it takes approximately 40 - 60 minutes. A sex doll heated in this way will last 2 - 3 hours. Each manufacturer has its own body heating system. The Sino-doll has the connector located at the back of the head, where the connecting cables to the body run through the neck (they can be disconnected). The WM / YL Dolls have the connector on the left side and provide a body-colored seal to it, to eliminate water ingress. The JY Doll have a connector on the back, between the shoulder blades. For info on other brands, please contact us.

The heaters are usually located only in the torso and thighs, sometimes in the upper arms and calves. Thighs, buttocks and breasts heat up more slowly as they have a thicker layer of TPE and silicone.

For both systems, extra care must be taken when cleaning to avoid coming into contact with water or increased humidity. Always try to cover the contacts. Never wash Sex Dolls when plugged into the mains.

How can I dress the sex dolls?

Before dressing sex dolls with any new clothing, wash it thoroughly first, ideally more than once as you could stain the sex dolls skin with it. Then, leave the garment on the inconspicuous parts of the sex dolls, such as the foot, for at least a day to make sure the garment does not stain the skin. This is the safest way to prevent skin contamination and is recommended. Even a leather or vinyl chair, can stain sex doll skin, so you should always have a non-colored towel or blanket underneath.

The outfits in the product photos are not included with your order. However, you can purchase some here.

When staining your skin, we recommend that you use only stain remover from our range and follow this manual. We estimate the effectiveness to be 85%, and light spots may remain after stain removal.

Can I paint my nails or replace them?

You can, they're plastic. Be careful not to stain your skin when painting. If you do, don't use nail polish remover or petrol. They dissolve the TPE. Better to let the varnish come off over time.

If your nails eventually fall off or you want to replace them, buy a set of artificial nails and nail glue from a drugstore and reapply them.

Do not use any chemicals when removing your nails. Try using a gentle stream of warm air with a hair dryer.

My eyelashes have come off, what should I do?

This is a common thing. Fine eyelashes are very susceptible to detachment. However, these are the same false eyelashes that women routinely glue on and are cheap to get at any drugstore, along with glue. Use caution when gluing them to your eyelids, but there is no risk of any damage if you use the right drugstore products.

Can I choose the same wig as in the product photos?

Unfortunately, many of the wigs in the sex dolls product photos are used for photo shoot purposes only, and are not in the manufacturer's permanent range. However, there are exceptions and you can request them. We will always do our best to get one for you. As you have a choice of second wigs for free, please choose a similar one from the product photos, or write in the order note in the basket, before shipping, that you require the same one. We can't promise it, but we'll do our best.

What is the difference between a fixed and a removable head?

So far, only models from Piper Doll offer a fixed head that is connected to the torso. Their advantage is mainly in the aesthetics and realistic design of the whole model, which forms a single unit. Also, during washing, water cannot get into the susceptible metal parts, in the neck area. The disadvantage may be in handling and storage, when the head cannot be detached from the hull.

All other brands offer a removable threaded head, or a one-click system where you always have the option to swap the head for a different head model, allowing you almost infinite variation in configuring your sex doll. By purchasing multiple heads, combined with wigs, you can have many variations of partners with one body.

What is the delivery time of sex dolls after payment?

Most TPE sex dolls are produced in an average of 7 - 15 days. Silicone ones can take 2 - 4 weeks to produce. Shipping then takes 12 to 30 days.

If I am absent during delivery, what happens?

On delivery, the courier will contact you by phone and a different date and address for delivery can be arranged.

Quality Guarantee

All shipments are insured against loss and damage and all products are covered by a legal 24 month warranty.

Topsexdolls guarantees that if there is an error on our part, in your order or a significant defect in your sex doll, we will compensate you free of charge, help you repair it or replace it completely.

How does the warranty work?

Inspect your sex doll immediately upon delivery.

If you feel you are entitled to compensation, do not use your sex doll. Keep it in new and unused condition, with box and all packing material. We cannot accept sex dolls back if they are used.

Unfortunately no. There is a statutory exception for customized "Made to Order" orders and erotic goods where it is not possible to withdraw from the contract.

Shipping & Tracking

Is shipping really free?

For custom orders, we ship worldwide and shipping is free for all orders.

For orders from stock, we only charge postage outside the country, up to a maximum of €100.

Does the price of the order include taxes and duty charges?

The prices you see on the site already include import duties, taxes and VAT. Topsexdolls will handle everything on your behalf. Therefore, shipments arrive at your door without any hassle and at no extra cost.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. We can ship sex dolls and accessories to many countries. However, some countries are excluded because government laws do not allow the import of sex dolls. For this reason, we do not ship to countries such as:

India
Malaysia
Islamic countries
South America
Africa

How long does it take to ship?

Continental shipping time

Europe ~ 15 - 30 days

North America ~ 5-12 days

Australia ~ 5-12 days

Asia/Russia ~ 15 - 20 days

In rare cases, especially due to a crisis due to Covid-19, natural disasters or Christmas, delivery times can climb up to 90 days. If we still do not deliver after 90 days, we will refund the undelivered goods.

What logistics company do you use to deliver your dolls?

Topsexdolls uses the following logistics companies: UPS, DHL, FedEx, EMS (air and sea container shipping). The final logistics company depends on your delivery address and country of destination.

Where can I track my order?

Once the product is made, we will send photos of it and shipping will begin within 48 hours. After that, we will send a tracking code within a week. We will also send you a link to the UPS/Fedex/DHL website where you can check the progress of the shipment.

Why hasn't the tracking code been updated after 2 weeks?

Most often, for these shipments from China, to EU/USA and other countries, container shipping without tracking is used. The tracking is only updated once the shipment is cleared in the country of delivery or in another EU country. Unfortunately, once the shipment is in transit, we have no control over it and ask for your patience. All shipments are insured and we are responsible for delivery or refund. However, apart from significant delays in transit, we have not experienced any non-delivery.

Is the delivery discreet? What does the packaging look like?

The packaging is designed for absolute privacy, which means there will be no label on the box. The sex doll will arrive in a plain brown box with no identification of the contents. Only the shipping address and recipient need to be tagged to identify the final destination.

Can I pick up my sex doll at the shipping carrier's drop-off location instead of home delivery?

If you do not want home delivery, we can have your order delivered to the shipping company's depot or pickup point. Please contact us with this request, including the location where pickup is convenient for you.

From which country will my doll arrive?

All of our custom sex dolls are made in China. Sex dolls are shipped directly from the factories to the customers.

Stock sex dolls are shipped from Prague, Czech Republic, where you can also view and pick them up in person.

Do not want to take your order at home

If you don't want to pick up your order at home, we can deliver to the nearest UPS, DPD, Toptrans, FedEx, or DHL drop-off location depending on your address. Simply leave a note with your order or let us know in advance. We select carriers based on the weight of the shipment, so only one of the listed carriers may be available.

Alternatively, you can always arrange with the courier for a different address and day for delivery when they call you.

I don't want anyone to know I bought a doll

We use a plain brown box to ship sex dolls, without any text or branding. No one knows what's inside except you. We have shipped hundreds of sex dolls, we know how to take care of your privacy.

Can you ship the head and body separately?

Yes, the head and body can be shipped separately.

Does delivery require a signature?

The rules vary in each country of delivery. We most often use UPS, where they have waived the signature as of mid-2020, but that may change again without our control.
