After running a sex doll store for 1 year, I learned a lot about top sex doll brands and manufacturers. This included recognizing all their dolls, specifications, customization options, and more. However, there is always more to learn. Since then, I continued to learn about sex dolls for another 3+ years, eagerly reading about various doll owners’ experiences. I think it’s safe to say I know a lot about sex dolls! I have a wealth of knowledge regarding top doll brands, manufacturers, vendors, industry news, and more! My specialty includes information about manufacturers and brands, identifying trustworthy vendors, and blogging about sex doll news.

If you’re looking for a trustworthy store to order from, here is my list of trusted sex doll vendors: Trusted Sex Doll Websites
Is moon-doll legit? They have the best price for the doll I want and their website is pretty clean.
Hi Cole,
They could be legit. Some of their recognizable brand listings (like Irontech and Zelex) seem correct, but I don’t recognize many of the brands they carry. They carry a lot of cheaper, lesser-known brands. Also their in-stock dolls section is full of knockoff dolls (under the Aibei, SY, and Cosdoll brand). I’m curious which doll you’re looking at. Otherwise, they could be legit but they sell a big mixture of different brands including some knockoff dolls so the risk is up to you.
Hey Steven, the Final Fantasy ones. Their prices are pretty competitive and they seem legit. I asked some questions and they’ve been pretty responsive. I’ll probably take the chance since PayPal has my back. Do you know if they are able to stand on their own without the “nailless standing feet” option? It looks like it has 3 visible bolts at the bottom of the feet.
Hi Steven,
It’s the Tifa and Aerith ones. They also offer the flight case for an additional $200 which seems like a good deal for moving situations. I honestly want them as collectables, lol. Are the feet hard enough to stand on their own? Or should I opt for the standing feet with the 3 visible screws?
Hi Cole,
I’m guessing their Game Lady Dolls are probably authentic since they listed the newest one pretty quick (must have gotten the photos directly from the brand) but I don’t know for certain. I’m 99% sure they are made at the Zelex factory, so quality-wise it should be similar. Zelex just recently added a hard feet option (standing without bolts). You should ask if Game Lady has that.
There’s 3 feet types: Normal (no bolts but can’t stand, the weight of the doll will crush the bottom of the feet), Standing with bolts (the bolts support the weight of the doll without any pressure on the bottom of the feet), and Standing without bolts/Hard Feet- the feet are hardened so the doll can stand without bolts (the doll can stand without bolts but technically the doll’s feet can still get damaged if left standing long-term, can stand but shouldn’t be stored standing nonstop for weeks/months).
Steven,
Thanks for the quick replies. I’ll get the bolt option to play it safe, since I do plan on leaving it standing for long periods.
Hey Steven,
I’m planning to purchase a doll mostly for sleeping and sex purposes. Between tayu 163cm and Cst doll 160. I have heard many good reviews about Tayu, but being much more pricey, is it that much better quality?
(I am fine with whatever the price) What is your thoughts on the comparison between these two? Thank you
Hi Paw,
TAYU and CST are both good brands. TAYU is a more premium brand while CST is more affordable. From what I heard, TAYU is very high quality. You pay a premium price and get a premium product. With CST, you pay a lower price but still get a surprisingly good product. In other words, both are good quality but TAYU is probably better (but also costs more). It comes down to which doll you like better. If money isn’t an issue, go with TAYU. If all you’ll do is sleep and have sex with the doll (and nothing else) and want to save some money, then CST is probably a better choice.
What’s the best site for mini dolls as far as price goes?
Hi James,
Unfortunately, most established vendors don’t carry mini dolls due to controversy with smaller dolls. If you want an authentic doll and live in the US, then TheDollChannel has some mini dolls for sale. Dollto-China also has the Irokebijin mini dolls. Otherwise I don’t know much websites with mini dolls other than knockoff websites. Usually Chinese knockoff doll vendors sell the most mini dolls.
i want be very rough in the bed with my doll but i dont wanna feel rubber can a thick tpe girl handle me or do i need silicone
Hi Delivery guy,
To be brief, sex dolls are very delicate despite the high price tag. They aren’t meant to be thrown around or handled too roughly. It really depends how you use it, but too much pressure and carelessness can tear the skin and damage the joints. Silicone is more durable and firm while TPE is more soft and stretchy. There are pros and cons of both, and if powdered properly, they don’t feel like rubber. A torso doll could also be a good starting option. Ultimately, it’s up to you, but both TPE and silicone sex dolls can break if repeatedly mishandled, although regular sexual acts alone aren’t enough to damage it. I’m just assuming you mean the highest level of rough.
I really want to get this doll, this doll is heavy will a TPE doll as volputous as this survive the highest level of rough. But really reply where I can get this doll
https://life-likedoll.com/collections/local-delivery/products/jennifer-huge-booty-love-doll
That is a SY Doll, a brand that makes cheaper dolls. Sexxdolls.co is a legit vendor that sells them. Personally I wouldn’t get a doll that heavy. It will be like lifting a 150 pound bag of cement (all dead weight). I don’t fully know what you mean by rough, but I assume so although TPE can still tear depending on what you do, and the skeleton could still break.
Well go for hours squeezing sererval positions for hours at a time. Repositing here and there but mainly enjoying that body to my hungers content. I am not going to throw her around slam her on the floor and choke her and hit her. For better context this is the video which will illustrate what I will do https://spankbang.com/5i6ne/video/hataraki+ari+parra+comp
So should I get the silicone version I found their site https://www.sexxdolls.co/collections/150-159-lbs/products/sy-doll-163cm-54-head-138. it is the perfect body 154 lbs is massive you are right I tried to lift 100 in the gym, I can see how I endup hurting myself. Should I get the silicone I want to have the storage case next to the bed. Will delivery time here be quickI also want this as a second head on this doll https://anniesdollhouse.com/meet-millie-163cm-h-cup-sex-doll/?msclkid=cbe72a04baeb11ec84623c972ffe892aIf. Be as detailed as possible I think im about to make a first purchase :). How can I make payment without my personal information showing up. If something goes wrong I heard I need to reach out to dollforms to mediate between the seller. What should I do if something goes wrong with them
From that link, it looks like they have a silicone head option, not silicone body. I would not recommend the silicone head simply because SY Doll is not technically the best brand so I wouldn’t spend $300 more on a silicone head. Silicone heads also usually don’t have oral function. Because the doll has to be produced and then shipped, it will take at least 2 weeks to arrive. The 2nd head you posted is from a different brand. Ask the vendor if they are compatible (sexxdolls probably sells it too) but it’s generally not recommended because different brands have slightly different skin tones, and they would come from 2 different factories, which is a hassle and most brands don’t like simply shipping 1 head alone. You have to use your personal information for the billing information but the shipped box is usually discreet. If something goes wrong, contact the vendor immediately for a resolution. Inspect the doll upon arrival and don’t use the doll yet otherwise you will have no chance to return it. Dollforum can mediate as a last resort.
Well I want to buy which sites you trust have this 163 cm doll
Sexxdolls.co and SexDollGenie have SY Dolls.
So upset Sexxdolls.co and SexDollGenie are not responsding as I liked, what should I dod here
They did not reply at all? From a quick google search, it looks like Sexyrealsexdolls, TheSilverDoll, Siliconwives, and Silicone-sexy-doll also carry SY Doll. Those vendors should also be legit. If all else fails, you can order directly from SY Dolls (sydolls.com) but I normally wouldn’t recommend that (since vendors generally have better customer service and buyer protection).
They responded but as often as I liked they are not responding to my emails now
What is the battery powered moving hips about should I get that
I’ve seen some videos of that. SY Doll has this robotic moving hips feature. I would be hesitant to order it, mainly because sex doll electronics tend to be bad (such as the heating and moaning systems). You never know when it will malfunction and stop working. I generally don’t recommend getting any electronic features on sex dolls.
Hey Steven!
I am looking for a budget doll that isn’t going to be a scam. I’ve read through your trusted stores post and have been trying to find a trustworthy retailer.
I saw your recommendation of the Kimber Doll however they only ship within the US and I am in Canada. Any suggestions on something around the same price/quality that would be available here?
Thanks!
Hi Alex,
I think Kimber Doll does ship to Canada now (https://kimberdoll.ca). Other than Kimber Doll, it’s hard to find good-quality, budget sex dolls. Sex dolls are simply expensive since they are considered luxury items. For example, you can’t find cars under a certain price unless they’re used. They’re expensive to manufacture and ship. That’s also why there’s so many knockoffs out there- like how there’s cheap imitations of phones and jewelry. The only dolls you can find on a budget are really only Kimber Doll, mini dolls, and knockoff dolls. You can gamble on a knockoff doll but I can’t recommend any websites. Most trustworthy vendors (and even manufacturers) sell dolls for $1000-$2000+.
Thanks! I actually did find the Canadian Kimber Doll site!
Yeah I’ve noticed any legit stores are all selling above the $1000USD range at minimum (even more in Canada because our currency sucks lol)
I appreciate your insight a lot! Your writings have honestly saved me from a lot of scams so I just wanted to say thank you for that!
Keep up the good work!
Hi,
I’m thinking of getting my first doll and was gravitating towards Kiko (based on Alita Battle Angel), but the placement of the holes seems off. Many other people have said this, but Indobt know whether Sedona have fixed it.
Is it possible to request more accurate placement? Otherwise this doll is a dream come true.
I’d be willing to pay a premium if this could be fixed.
Thanks!
Hi Michael,
The LHP of a doll can’t be changed. The bodies are made from existing molds and they would have to create a new mold to change it. You can, however, mix and match heads and bodies, so you choose the same head with a different body. Perhaps a different body has better LHP. In general, dolls by Jinsan don’t have the greatest placement, but they improved on their newer models. I recommend asking SE Doll anyway or finding a different body.
Thanks for the response Steven.
Any recommendation as to where to start looking for a different body? Which brands have a good reputation and would match that head?
I will ask SE Doll their opinion, but wondering what might be good from what you are familiar with. Obviously something of high quality. Budget up to $4000, maybe more if it’s spectacular. I suppose SE Doll gets all its bodies from Jinsan?
If you’re saying I could really mix and match a very high quality doll, then that’s what I think I want to do. Quality for me matters over price.
Thanks!
One more question:
I suppose what I am ultimately asking, as a potential first time buyer, is how to purchase a customized doll, and what degrees of customization are possible.
For me, a doll with the facial features, makeup/paint, wig, body type, and costume of the character is most important to me, alongside of course high quality skeleton, skin, correct physical proportions, placements , etc.
Are there services where I can describe what I want and they can give me a quote? I think I could probably use a pre-existing body.
But for future reference are there services that do 100% customizable dolls regardless of price?
Thanks.
Hi Michael,
There are many different factors when choosing a first doll. Everyone is different. Some people spend $4000 on their first doll and realize the doll life isn’t for them. Others buy a cheap doll and wish they bought a better one. It’s usually recommended to start off with something cheap and light first, but it sounds like you want to go all-out on your first doll, which is fine. SE Doll is made in the Jinsan factory, which also makes WM, YL, and OR Doll. Their heads and bodies are interchangeable and their skin tones should theoretically be the same. It’s better not to mix-and-match any other brands since the skin tones may not match.
There are two brands that make an Alita-inspired doll, the SE Doll Kiko and MyLoliWaifu Alita. A 100% custom doll from scratch is extremely expensive, usually over $3000 for a head alone, which is why choosing a pre-existing head and body is a better option. Usually the doll page shows the typical, basic customization options, such as eye color, skin tone, etc. You can get them to match the makeup in the photos by letting the vendor know. Sometimes they don’t have the same wig, and they won’t have the costume either. For the SE Doll, you can look at some other SE and WM Doll bodies. Just be careful because sometimes the head might look too big or small on another body. The manufacturers usually choose the best combination to photograph. There’s also many other brands out there to look at, not just SE Doll.
Hi Steven, do you happen to know the website https://japanxshop.com and if they’re legit? They claim to be holding an anniversary sale where they’re selling a lot of dolls for just $69, which seems way too good to be true, even if one were to assume that the dolls have some slight defects or whatever.
Hi Finley,
Sex dolls for $69 are definitely not legit. It would cost more than that in shipping alone. They will either send you something unrelated, a blow-up doll, or nothing at all. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a world where free or $69 sex dolls exist. They are considered expensive, luxury products. That website is very deceptive with fake reviews and many fake sales plugins. Definitely scammers.
Hi Steven,
thanks for your reply. That’s about what I figured. But I was ever so slightly hoping that your reply might be something like “oh yeah, I know those guys, great people, they’re trying to clear out their inventory as quickly as possible because [reasons]”
I have seen this doll site on the web. With the prices they have do you know if there legit or fakes.
Thanks
oops forget to mention website name . 2am in the morning, have asleep. https://bululusexdoll.com/
Hi Chad,
I’m pretty sure that is a knockoff doll website. They are related to another website called bululu.shop that sells knockoffs. Although some of their prices seem legit, there are many red flags such as: no brand names, incorrect customization options, height options, lots of fake sales gimmicks, etc. I personally don’t trust this website but it’s up to you.
hello steven I am looking for a legit page that sells this doll dolls sq-ma20029. Is there a site that sells it?
Hi Robin,
Are you referring to the torso doll? Unfortunately, I don’t know where you can get those torso dolls. I see a lot of Chinese vendors selling them. They seem to be unbranded from a factory somewhere.
Hi, is there any news in the doll market recently? new models perhaps?
Because it’s been a while since you published something.
Also, thanks for your advices bro
Hi Renzo,
There’s always new models and news in the doll market. However, I’ve been very busy lately so unfortunately I haven’t kept up with my blog much. With new heads and bodies coming out every week from every brand, it would be too much work to write about every single one. I try to focus on more interesting and unique news, which is why I mainly focused on Piper Doll in the past (since their dolls are all-in-one, which are like completely new models instead of just interchangeable heads and bodies). I’ll try to get more posts out, but the news right now is mainly “WM Doll released a new head,” “X released a new body,” etc. Nothing too interesting.
Thank you man, you do a great job. Btw I am only interested in Piper Dolls since I think they are the cutest of them all. Hope to buy one of them once this pandemic ends.
Curious if you have any advice or warnings when shopping in this area of the sex doll world. I like this particular model and the price is right, I know not to expect perfection for this price range but would you guess that absolute garbage will arrive?

Your help is very much appreciated
Hi Liquid Image,
The dolls on eBay are all cheap knockoff dolls. You’ve probably seen cheap Chinese products on eBay before. They are a gamble in quality and most of them are just stolen photos. You don’t really know what you’ll get and whether it’ll be garbage or not. At that price range, it’s probably poor quality and won’t look like the photos. Ultimately, it’s up to you and how much you’re willing to gamble.
Thank you for your reply.
Hi Steven, hope you’re doing well. 😉
I just wanted to ask if you’d happen to know if this site is legit; en.myloliwaifu.com
Hi Mayjim,
That is the official website of the MyLoliWaifu brand, which is a real brand. It should be safe to order from. What you need to determine next is their customer service and doll quality. Unfortunately, I don’t know too much about them. I heard some good things but there aren’t many reviews out there. They are part of another brand called Jiusheng if that helps you find more info.
Thanks for letting me know Steven, really appreciate it and the quick reply. XD
Hi I was thinking of ordering from this site the en.myloliwaifu.com are you fairly certain they are legit I’m trying to customize the e doll and you can’t really pick option it shows options that made me a little nervous but maybe you just have to tell them what you want via email I’m not really sure??
Hi Mike,
I’m pretty sure they are legit. However, like many Chinese brand websites, it is very simple or poorly designed. It doesn’t look like there’s a way to manually select the customization options. I recommend contacting them first before ordering.
Ok thanks for the advice!!
Hey, probably a stupid cliche question, but is sexdolltorso a legit site? I’ve been eyeing for a first doll. The Shailene lightweight doll specifically.
Hi Key,
Unfortunately, I’m not an expert on sex torsos since most of them are unbranded. While some sex doll brands offer torsos (which tend to be expensive), most are unbranded like on the website you posted. Judging from the unusually high amount of reviews and “total sold,” these are likely the same ones you find on websites like Aliexpress and similar websites. It’s legit in that they’ll probably send you something, but the quality is a gamble. I can’t say whether their quality is good or not. For torsos, also be sure to look at the size/dimensions since a lot of them are smaller than a real person to reduce costs. One torso website a lot of people seem to like is Tantaly. I don’t know too much about the website you posted.
Hello Steven!
I am interested in a Sexdoll. I read that silicon dolls are somewhat better than TPE dolls when it comes to durability or whatnot.
Can you maybe help me out and guide give me some advice on what I need to know about sexdolls in general? I was browsing your trusted sex doll store section and was browsing the store “Doll to China” a little. Some Irokebijin dolls look cute and the Gynoid models are gorgeous. However I do not know, If I should get a cheaper version at first like a 600-700€ doll or a more expensive one like a 1500€ and up version.
How would you recommend I should proceed?
Hi Hellleon,
Everyone is different. It depends on many factors such as your financial situation and why you’re buying a sex doll. Some first-time buyers go straight for an expensive, full-sized doll and find out the doll life isn’t for them and regret their purchase. Some people buy a small doll and wish they got a larger doll, and vice versa. Everyone is different. People who buy dolls purely for sex are usually disappointed quickly while people who order a doll for companionship are usually the most happy. Some may recommend starting with a smaller, cheaper doll to learn from first (so you don’t make mistakes on a more expensive doll), but smaller dolls tend to resemble a toy more than a person so you don’t quite get the “full experience.” As you can see, there’s lots of factors at play.
Silicone dolls do generally last longer than TPE dolls, but there’s a whole list of pros and cons between the two materials. I have a blog post about it (https://celesdolls.com/tpe-vs-silicone-sex-dolls) but it’s a little outdated. You can check out some doll communities like Dollforum or r/SexDolls subreddit. Maybe talk to some other doll owners to get an idea of what you’re looking for. As I said, there are many factors. I don’t know enough about your situation to strongly recommend anything.
Is usbbdoll.com legit?
Hi Zen,
From what I heard, usbbdoll is legit. The brand they sell, CST Doll/BB Doll, seems to have good reviews too. Since they are somewhat new in the West, I don’t know too much about them right now.
Has anyone heard of dealt with passiondolls?
Hi Zero,
They have been TDF-approved since 2016 so they’re probably legit. However, their website looks very outdated to me. Very old-fashioned and missing all the new models and customization options. It’s also odd that they don’t list the brand names. Might be worth it if you like their customer service, but otherwise, there are probably better websites to order from.
Update. The 6YE doll arrived and she’s perfect. Great detail, looks exactly like photo, great updates and follow ups by tech. Arrived a week earlier than quoted. Now I just have to learn all the how to’s. This is my first.
I just ordered my first doll (5′ D cup 6ye amor) and I’m wondering how soft and jiggly her butt is??? I chose this particular one, because of the perfection of the shape of the ass, vagina, and anus. I didn’t see another brand in this size that looked as appealing to me, I hope I’m satisfied.
any web to buy doll safely to indonesia or japan?
Hi Rexsia,
Sex dolls are illegal in Indonesia. If you live in Japan, some popular Japanese vendors are kuma-doll and rakuendoll.
Saw wm overbearing ceo 160cm 5ft3 a-cup sakura 6ye a-cup dolls and 6ye amor dolls on sexysexdolls.Which doll has the best qualities including feel and looks?
I’m looking for a a-cup 6ye amor doll Sexysexdoll has a wet dream sex doll 158cm a-cup reena a 6ye 158cm a-cup doll. Is this doll p***y in the right spot will all the amor qualities come in a 6ye a-cup sexdoll
Hi Taylor,
From what I heard, the 6YE 158cm A-cup’s love hole placement is very similar to that of the Amor series. Maybe not exactly in the right spot, but it’s very close. All the other qualities should be the same between premium and Amor.
Hey maybe weird question but do you know a site where i could get the doll that wiass used to use in allot of videos (sadly deleted now) was 1 with purple hair based on a vtuber or vocaloid im pretty sure.
Hi Tim,
Don’t worry, this is not a weird question. Many people have asked this before. He has the EXDOLL 145cm NinaE doll with large breasts. Or maybe a different body, not sure. I’m not really sure where you can get it. Either contact EXDOLL which is in Chinese, or try asking a DS Doll vendor. DS Doll is the Western version of EXDOLL but they usually don’t sell the Nina/NinaE head or body.
ooh thnx for the quick reply will try to look a bit more in to it <3
Hi,
I appreciate your help. I’ve seen some presence on thedollforum and reddit and from other users but there are a few signs of untrustworthiness from a site I’m interested in and would love your input on whether it is safe:
https://www.sm-doll.com/About-Us-n275304.html
Thank you!
Hi Josh,
That is the official SM Doll website. It should be safe to order from. Or you can order from a vendor, which usually have better customer service and buyer protection, but I think the SM Doll agent (Star) is pretty good. You can find more info here: https://dollforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=269
Howdy there Steven I’m brand freaking new to the sexdoll world and was hoping you could give me some pro advice #1 on the legitimacy of the doll site called vsdoll.com & #2 which doll do you think would be best for a brand new first timer? These are the two I was considering because they are the most affordable and their styles seem enjoyable, I’m debating either the Akane -Big Breast Anime Sex Doll, or the Lillian – Beautiful Curvy Mini-Plus BBW Doll – which comes from a US Stock inventory, lastly they offer both credit-card and PayPal payment options so I was double curious if that means they are more legitimate or illegitimate depending on their prices and payment options?
P.s. I’ve heard a large chunk of good reviews and a small handful of bad reviews from other ladies and gents in the sexdoll community who’ve done business with them but i’m still conflicted about the reliability of their products so some clean perspective would be awesome.
Hi IZE,
Vsdoll sells knockoff dolls (with stolen photos). Their dolls are imitations and not authentic hence the low prices. This isn’t to say that their quality is automatically bad. It’s just more of a gamble. Therefore, I’m not surprised by the mixed reviews. If you want to get the Akane doll, I recommend TheDollChannel (if you live in the US) or Dollto-China. The authentic one costs about the same price. You can find the links here: https://celesdolls.com/trusted-sex-doll-websites/
For “Lillian”, that is supposed to be a WM Doll. Some WM vendors have her but she costs over $1000. It’s up to you if you want to go with an authentic doll or knockoff. Knockoffs are cheaper but more of a gamble. Be sure to contact them before ordering (ask questions and to see factory photos of the doll) and have a backup plan in case something goes wrong. Good luck.
Hi again Steven thank you so much dude for the quick reply to my previous question earlier, if I could ask one more though I was able to find another Akane doll for about $700.00 from the site lovedollpalace.com are they a bit more legitimate and trustworthy of a doll retailer for a first time newbie in the sexdoll world???
Hi IZE,
That website is probably legit. The brands, prices, specs, customization options, etc. all look about right. I don’t know anything else about them though so I can’t vouch for them. I recommend contacting them first before ordering.
Hi could someone please help me figure out how legit the site Vsdoll.com is I’m looking to buy a bbw doll for my first time?
Vsdoll is a scam site. I ordered a doll from them and I did get a doll like 3 months late. There customer service sucks and to top it all off the doll I got looked nothing like the doll I purchased. I reached out and never got a response. I’d stay far away from them.
Hello. I have a TPE sex doll (full size). Legs get in the way and impossible to get in perfect position instantly without hassle. Is it possible to cut the legs off at mid-thigh? Would a hacksaw do it? Thanks
Hi, Im in a situation right now where I am not really enjoying my doll and thinking about selling it. The one I have is the Irokebejin 90 cm TPE Akane. I bought her on September, and to this day, I have only used her twice. I think it’s just not the experience I was expecting. That said, before selling, I just want to know how exactly do people make the most of dolls.
The main problems I been having, is that she is too small as a 90cm doll. I bought a 90 cm because I thought it was a good beginner one, but its just not ‘realistic’ as you know, an average woman size. Also, prices are definitely cheaper and better storage purposes.
Stupid me also bought all the clothes they have on the first purchase which totaled to like ~$800, more than the actual doll which is $625 (plus the flight case for $250 or $300). I have a hard and long time fitting the clothes too as I thought it would be easy.
Another reason is all the maintenance and care I have to put in. It really takes a lot of time, simple as that.
If there’s something I’m not trying out that would make it enjoyable, let me know. Otherwise, can you also describe how to safely and/or anonymously sell a doll at a fair price? Thanks!
Hi Matt,
Sorry to hear about your experience. In my opinion, one of the main cons of owning a mini doll is that it feels more like a toy than a real person. It’s harder to get immersed with a mini doll compared to a full-sized doll due to the small size. I mention it in a blog post here. To get the most out of a doll, one has to form a bond or connection with the doll (which requires some imagination). It’s harder with a mini doll but is still possible. Most happy doll owners successfully form a bond with their dolls. They give her a name, personality, and interact with her regularly. Many people who buy a doll just for sex are usually disappointed after one use and want to sell it. Forming a connection with the doll is really the key part but requires a certain level of imagination. Photography and sharing photos in doll groups is also one fun activity with dolls.
If you plan to sell your doll, you can try Dollforum here (https://dollforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=77&sid=8c73d3c33085b92ada68624a888df6ef) or via doll groups on discord/reddit/etc or marketplace websites.
I am wondering what size in Cm and what breast size is ok to send to the ban states.. Fl…Tn…. Is it 140+ with b-cup or C-cup or D-cup not a whole lot of info on this seems like there should jus be a definitive answer to avoid confusion but idk thanks in advance!!
Hi Miguel,
I answered this question from you earlier: https://celesdolls.com/contact/comment-page-1/#comment-5630 From what I can tell, the laws are vague with no specific details on height or breast size. The state and customs get to decide based on their own perceptions.
Hi
Im wanting to find out what size dolls are allowed to be shipped to Australia?
I know they have started to seize the small child like dolls, but I also hear that even if it looks adult but is small size, then thats illegal too, and you can get into quite some trouble for it.
I cannot find any firm facts on what constitutes a legal doll.
Is it based on height? Looks? Breast size?
Thanks for your time 😀
Hi Gorny,
Unfortunately, I don’t live in Australia so I don’t know the laws in detail. Child-like doll laws tend to be very vague and Australia is the strictest country on these laws. I recommend getting a doll above 140cm with large breasts and hips, but be sure to do your own research. I wouldn’t take any unnecessary risks in Australia. Ordering from or contacting an Australian vendor like Sex Doll Australia may help.
I want to purchase blue elf sex doll. Do you have blue elf sex doll?
Hi Kalana,
I only know of Aibei who offers a Blue Elf doll, and SM Doll which has the blue Avatar doll.
Hi Steven, I was looking for small anime style dolls and came across the here https://www.hydoll.com/anime-sex-dolls. Now I’m not quite sure if its legit so I wanted to ask you about that. If it’s not can you point me to stores that are please?
Hi Dollin,
I’m not a big fan of that website. That page shows a few brands such as Doll House 168/Irokebijin, Aotume, and Mozu Doll. For Aotume, I recommend TheDollChannel, MyRobotDoll, and Dollto-China. For DH168/Irokebijin, I recommend TheDollChannel and Dollto-China. You can find links to those websites here: https://celesdolls.com/trusted-sex-doll-websites/ The only website I know that has Mozu Doll is Dollter.
Steve,
I wondered if you know of esdoll.com, they have products for somewhat less then others. But mainly they have a face I like that I have not seen elsewhere.
Thanks for your feedback.
Tim
Hi Tim,
ESDoll sells knockoff dolls based on their low prices. They also list themselves as the brand when most of their photos are stolen from WM Doll (big red flag), and most of their reviews seem fake too. If you send me a link of the doll you’re interested in, I can help you identify the brand.
Steve,
Here is the link to the ESDoll that caught my eye.
https://www.esdoll.com/sex-toys/busty-breasts-and-sexy-buttocks-doll-156cm-hedy/
Thanks.
Hi Tim,
The real brand of that doll is Starpery, which makes silicone and TPE sex dolls. That is the Starpery 156cm Amy. She costs much more than on that website.
Thanks for the input Steve. Do you know anything about Starpery? Are they reputable? Quality? It’s hard to know just looking at the web site and photos.
Starpery is a good brand. They make both silicone and TPE dolls. One of the more realistic-looking doll brands. I recommend looking here for more info and customer reviews: https://dollforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=548
Hi, I was curious if you knew anything about AIBEI Girls ? It’s a brand that does not seem to be in any list ! So it has me second guessing a doll from premium dolls .com
Hi Blake,
Aibei is a very big brand despite the lack of name-recognition. I’m not 100% sure if Aibei owns the factory, but to simplify things, I’ll just call it the Aibei factory. The Aibei factory is basically the largest (WM) knockoff doll manufacturer in China. Most knockoff dolls come from there under various brand names such as Entity Doll, 3X, ALY, Hanidoll, etc. Their photos are very recognizable; they look like imitations of WM Dolls but they also make some unique models. From what I heard, their quality is decent assuming it comes from that factory (and not a different one). There are knockoffs of knockoffs too. Their factory has recognizable green floors, different from that of Jinsan. Could be a good choice for a more budget-friendly doll, but make sure you choose a good vendor.
Thank you . I can’t believe how much there is too investigate on this topic. Went too a few sites , and find myself second guessing everything! Like this Premium dolls site. Was feeling good about it, and then a day later I’m unsure….lol
Steven really has a lot of knowledge! I was catching up on to that green floor factory selling on multiple different name. Would you happen to know the green floor factory that have the cheapest price of all of them? xD
From what the WM doll guy said it seems like Linkooer was their biggest knockoff “competitor” and they are suing them so i would guess they also sell from that aibei(green floor) factory?
I just started looking at various brands and see that most if not all are sold through dealers, vendors or brokers. Are there any like Real Doll that manufacture and sell their own product? Seems like the manufacturer would have more skin in the game (pun not intended) and stand behind their product better than the others. Just curious.
Thanks.
Hi Tim,
Great question. Most brands actually do sell directly to customers (they all have their own websites), but I generally recommend ordering through vendors. Real Doll is an exception because they are a US company that makes and sells their own products. Things are different with Chinese brands. The most common “path” is manufacturer/brand > vendor > customer. The simplest explanation is that manufacturers focus on production while the vendors focus on sales and customer service. Brands depend on vendors to help them get sales, which is why the prices are usually the same or higher on the brand’s official website (i.e. WM’s official website). However, it’s actually more complicated than this. Some brands do focus on sales and will undercut their vendors and offer better deals to make more money (without a middleman), but most of the big brands don’t do this. In the sex doll marketplace, well-known brands and vendors usually go hand-in-hand. You can order directly from the manufacturer, but it’s more risky because most are based in China. Unless you pay with a credit card, you don’t have much buyer protection. Most sex doll manufacturers are not like big companies like Apple, Microsoft, etc where they guarantee your satisfaction. They don’t accept returns or repair used dolls. Ordering through a vendor will give better customer service and buyer protection because their job is customer service. Vendors have leverage over the manufacturers to resolve problems that arise that you as an individual don’t have. Long story short, I recommend buying from vendors.
Thanks for the explanation Steve.
So is yourdoll.com a legit website? Since I do live in California an I see that there based there and was just curious if it’s a legit site to order from them
Hi Ryan,
Some people don’t like YourDoll because of their shady past, but they are most likely legit now. They are also not based in California. They are based in China. They just have a California warehouse for in-stock dolls. They’re probably fine to order from nowadays, but you should always contact them first to check their customer service.
Just thought I’d let everyone know The Doll Channel is San Antonio has really stepped up on in stocks dolls. Big variety and great customer service. I just purchased a 65cm dark tan Chloe and she is flawless. She is my second purchase from them and I couldn’t be happier. I wouldn’t have known about them if I hadn’t come to this blog where they are listed as a trusted vendor. So Thank you Steven for sending me on the right path and checking the trusted sites. It must take a lot of work to do what you do for us doll enthusiasts. Thank you.
Is Loxdolls a good quality brand?
Hi Jerry,
That’s a knockoff doll brand I see a lot on Ebay. They make imitation dolls with stolen photos. I don’t know if their quality is good or not, but their prices seem too good to be true. Also they don’t accept returns on Ebay (if that’s where you found them). Seems risky to me. I personally wouldn’t order it but it’s up to you.
Hi Steven
Thanks for the advice, I have another question, is Rosemary Doll a reputable doll vendor, I see they have some pretty good deals on quality dolls on their website?
Hi Jerry,
From what I can tell, Rosemarydoll is legit. I haven’t seen many reviews about them but they are probably safe to order from. They have all the proper brand authorization letters and I don’t see any red flags. I don’t have any personal experience with them though.
hi Steven, wundersexpuppen.de is legit?
Hi George,
None of those websites you posted works for me. If you live in Germany, Dollstudio is a good vendor.
Hi Steven,
I am just wondering what your opinion is about an emerging brand “Future Doll” that some of your listed trusted doll vendors are selling (e.g. https://thedollchannel.com/future-dolls/). It’s weird that I can’t find its own website, though.
The other brand of silicon dolls is CST (Chun Shui Tang). I am attracted by its promotional price in China but not sure about its quality.
Any of your comments would be highly appreciated!
Hi W.S.,
Unfortunately, I don’t know too much about Future Doll since they’re not very popular, and CST Doll is very new in the Western market. From what I heard, they are both decent quality at reasonable prices. I also read many good CST reviews lately. Between the two, I think CST might be a little better, but Future Doll is probably good too.
Thanks so much for your reply!
Hello Steven,
how robust are doll skeletons?
Will I end up breaking my doll’s “bones” if I put my weight onto it, e.g. by collapsing onto it after coitus in missionary position?
Hi Elad,
Doll skeletons are made of steel and fairly sturdy. Laying on top of your doll should be fine for short periods but you shouldn’t overdo it. It also depends on how much force and weight you are putting on the doll. The skeleton is, unfortunately, one of the more inconsistent areas when it comes to sex dolls. Some people’s doll skeleton lasts a long time with much use while other’s break with little use. It’s very inconsistent. I doubt you will break your doll’s “bones” unless you are bending it in the wrong direction, but I have heard stories about the arms/legs/back of the skeleton breaking. Since dolls are delicate, it’s best to be careful with them for a longer lifespan.
hello, What about the shoppingdolls.com?
It looks good. They sell some cute love doll that without brand, they name them as Shoppingdolls..
Is it a factory online store?
Or maybe only photos are taken from their team.
See this : https://www.shoppingdolls.com/collections/shoppingdolls-1
Hi Yamaki,
I wouldn’t recommend them. Based on their prices, they sell knockoff dolls (imitations of the photos). If you’re willing to gamble on something cheap, then you can take a chance, but they basically sell cheap dolls with stolen photos.
What’s the take on Moon-doll.com? Legit?
Hi Steve,
They are based in China. They seem to be legit if they actually sell what is listed. They sell some authentic brands and knockoff brands like SY Doll, ADSDoll, Cosdoll, and Aibei. Prices and customization options seem correct, but I don’t know if they are really legit or not. I can only guess based on what I see. Be sure to do your own research. They are not a website I would personally order from.
Anybody have experience with the Ridmii dolls? They appear on ridmii.com and are also for sale at bestrealdoll.com
Are these scammers or legit? Bestrealdoll seems to have wm copies and then sells the ridmii “unique design” models that don’t seem to be from any other vendor and have silicone heads. Curios if they are legit.
Hi Curioso,
I never heard of Ridmii, but bestrealdoll sells knockoff dolls under that brand so I’m guessing Ridmii makes knockoff dolls. They do have some silicone heads I’ve never seen before. Some of the Ridmii photos are strange though. One of them is just CGI photos and another is a doll’s head photoshopped on a real person’s body. I personally wouldn’t order one but you can try doing more research on your own first.
Hi Steven,
You told me that Catdoll.club is the official vendor for catdolls to Europe, but what makes me a think a little is, they have only Credit Card by Aliexpress or Western Union and Bank Transfer as payment option, no Paypal. So i’m not sure if they’re trustworthy, especially cause you said that most vendors who also sell on Aliexpress, Alibaba or Amazon you wouldn’t recommend. So which Catdoll Vendor should i use? Thanks in advance for your response.
Best regards
Bruce
Hi Bruce,
Catdoll.club is the official website of the Catdoll brand. I believe they ship globally, not just to Europe. Unfortunately, Paypal banned most vendors that sell small dolls, which is why a lot of similar websites don’t offer Paypal. I don’t recommend buying dolls from Aliexpress but some Chinese vendors use Aliexpress as a payment method since they can’t use Paypal. You could order directly from Catdoll, but I usually recommend ordering from vendors rather than directly from manufacturers. HGDoll is a good vendor for Catdoll. However, someone told me recently that they were also banned from Paypal but they accept payments through Aliexpress. It’s quite a mess actually. I can only suggest HGDoll for Catdolls but can’t vouch for either website. HGDoll is legit though.
Hello Steven,
how does one dispose of a life-sized doll once they’re no longer in working condition?
The last thing I want is some old lady calling the police because she thinks there’s a dead body in the recycling bin outside our apartment building.
Are the dolls easy to disassemble with basic tools, like a knife and a screwdriver?
Can you just cut through the silicone and break/screw off their limbs one by one, then put the parts into black trash bags?
Hi Sanjay,
It’s possible to cut the TPE or silicone flesh off the skeleton, but it’s a lot of work and might require some hefty tools. Depending on where you live, I recommend selling or donating it on Dollforum. There are many people there willing to buy used dolls and will pay the shipping fee for free dolls. It’s worth a try, otherwise, you can try “skinning” the doll, but it will be much harder to disassemble the skeleton. I don’t think a metal skeleton in the trash will scare anyone. You could also keep the material to repair future dolls.
Thank you sir, the thought that there would be people willing to use 2nd hand sex dolls had never even crossed my mind.
I shall attempt to donate it when the time comes.
Hey Steven,
Was wondering if you could help me find any and all dolls made by respectable manufacturers with hips bigger than the 158cm YL Doll, as seen here: https://www.yldoll.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=76
Do any exist? Thank you in advance
Hi Tad,
The YL 158cm has very large hips indeed. She is also extremely heavy. Some people might call her a “back-breaker.” I haven’t paid too much attention to the very exaggerated or super big breasts/hips dolls, so I don’t know of anything bigger off the top of my head. There’s definitely a lot of big hip dolls out there. Some brands with big hip dolls include, WM Doll, YL Doll, Irontech, Climax Doll, and probably more. The YL 158cm body also has like 400+ different heads to choose from. For some reviews of the YL 158cm doll, you can look at some of these search results: YL 158cm results Hope this helps.
Has anyone asked about ainidoll.com?
Hi Blake,
Many people have asked me about Ainidoll. Most of their dolls are knockoff dolls (i.e. they are imitations of the promo photos) but they are at least transparent about it. They don’t try to hide it. I mostly heard good things about them. If you understand what you’re getting, then it can be a good value. It is at your own risk though so be sure to contact them and do your research.
Hi, I been comparing the trust-worthy vendors you have listed on your site and I found something weird. Initially, I found this Dollhouse 168 ‘Abby’ listed as $2649 on sexdolls-shop.com. I just brushed it off as way too expensive. However, I found the ‘same’ model on dollto-china.com listed as $1100. I don’t really see a sale ongoing here. Do you have any clue what’s going on here with this insane price gap? (P.S. dollto-china site design is so hard to know what I’m clicking on, my god lol)
Edit: There’s some other things I noticed: spelling error ‘facotry’ in the context of [Warm Prompt: We now offer free expedited shipping service exclusively for this model, and we won’t offer any facotry photos after the doll is finished, we’ll just ship it out and offer you the tracking number, so please make sure you won’t change your mind after your order is placed.
We ship this model to the USA and most countries in Europe. We Do Not ship this model to the UK, Canada, Australia, Norway, Switzerland, Russia.]
I don’t know what to make of this.
Dollto-china is a very popular and trusted vendor, but they are based in China so I’m not surprised there are some spelling and grammar errors. None of the smaller Piper, DH168, or Irojebijin dolls come with factory photos. It’s the factory’s way of cutting down costs on their smaller dolls. They also don’t ship to countries that have banned small dolls. I don’t see any red flags there.
They have a section of Dollforum if you want to read some reviews: https://dollforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=542
While Im on the topic for Abby, I was wondering for her silicone head to pair up with Akane’s TPE body. I asked the customer service person on dollto-china.com and they said its a bad idea since there may be a bad interaction between the 2 materials. I just want to hear your opinion on this conclusion. Because, I really want that Abby blonde twin-tails head on a cheaper Akane body, but I dont want to mess up the doll because of that.
Also, the person told me that the silicone will look and feel better than TPE despite people that say TPE feels better; and that I need to pay more attention to silicone.
Generally TPE and silicone should not mix. I don’t know all the chemical details, but the two materials break each other down. You can find some more info on Google regarding this. However, in the last few years, some manufacturers such as JY Doll discovered a way to combine silicone heads with TPE bodies so it’s possible for some brands. However, it may not be possible for all brands. If a manufacturer says not to mix them, then I wouldn’t mix them.
One thing I always noticed is that silicone heads don’t fully match TPE bodies. Silicone does look more realistic (since it allows for more detail), but it’s also shinier and stands out from the “matte” appearance of TPE bodies. I personally don’t like silicone heads with TPE bodies due to the contrast. As for feel, the new Irojebijin silicone dolls supposedly have a different blend from the silicone Piper Dolls so no one really knows how it feels, but it looks very soft in the videos I’ve seen. It also depends on the person. Some people like softer dolls and some people like firmer dolls. There’s also pros and cons for both TPE and silicone. I won’t go into too much detail unless you want to know more.
Nah, that explanation was enough for me. Im most likely going to get the Akane and hope that in the future, there will be a TPE version of Abby’s head lol.
You should reply to Mizuwali’s tweets on Twitter and ask for a TPE head for Abby. 😆 Maybe if enough people ask him, he’ll do it. However, Mizuwali has a trend of converting TPE dolls into silicone and not the other way around.
Hi Matt,
It is simply overpriced on Sexdolls-Shop. I’m not sure why they listed her so high. She should be closer to the $1100 price.
Hi Steve, thanks for this blog, do u much about usbbdoll.com ,thank you
Hi Rabih,
From what I can tell, usbbdoll is one of the vendors for the BBDoll/CST Doll brand. Some people have successfully ordered from that website. It should be safe.
Thank you, they seem to have awsome dolls for the price, which in my opinion is still ridiculous for something made out of silicon but they did a good job, with the pics and videos at least, let’s hope they last and are as good as they look…beats a yapping wife anyway lol
No problem. I’m still doing some research into their brand. Apparently, they have been around for a long time and have only recently started advertising in the West. From the reviews I’ve read (from real people), their quality seems surprisingly good for the price. They definitely have attractive dolls and photography. I plan to list them soon in my Complete List of Brands post. If you ever order one, let me know what you think about the quality. 🙂 I can’t vouch for them or anything, but I have read some good reviews.
Awsome news cause I already paid a big deposit so that they start making it after I saw a few positive reviews on tdf, let’s see what happens when she comes
Hi, I know that many have asked about Sexy Real Sex Dolls or SRSD, however, I am in the process of buying using their Layaway flex pay option…and have asked the question for several days now if the email that I received from JLL was truly from SRSD for my $200 deposit…because it didn’t come from SRSD, I haven’t even received a response….have you heard of such bad customer service before? To be honest I’m 75% ready to cancel the sale and find another real vendor that has much better service…are you able to recommend some? I was also looking at Rosemarydoll, but I noticed that the bottom says it’s in China.
What’s your thoughts?
Hi Marc,
SRSD is legit as I mentioned before but it is possible they have poor customer service, which is why I removed them from my list in the past. From my experience, they usually reply within 1-2 days by email. Have you tried their live chat option? I believe JLML LLC is their registered name, but like you said, if they don’t reply, then you should probably find another vendor (if it’s not too late to cancel). Rosemarydoll is probably legit. They have all the authorized reseller letters from the top brands, but I haven’t seen much reviews about them nor do I have personal experience with them. I have a list of trusted vendors here: https://celesdolls.com/trusted-sex-doll-websites/
What about http://www.realdoll.com... is it legit?
Hi Tobey,
RealDoll is legit. They are one of the most popular sex doll companies in the media and their dolls are made in the USA.
Sorry, I meant to ask about http://www.rosemarydoll.com
Thank you,
T
Hi Tobey,
I already answered this yesterday.
“Rosemarydoll is probably legit. I don’t see any red flags and they have all the proper authorization letters from the brands they sell. I don’t have any personal experience with them though.” That’s really the best I can answer. They look legit to me but I’m not 100% sure since I have never ordered from them.
There is a picture on the top of the page titled “Complete List of Top TPE and Silicone Sex Doll Brands” – it has two dolls: a cartoonish one on the left, and a very realistic looking one on the right. What is the make and model of the one on the right, please? And thank you for all the hard work you do putting this website together – it is very helpful.
Hi justthinkingaboutadoll,
The dolls in that photo are the Piper Doll Silicone Jessica on the left, and the XYcolo Vala on the right.
