Sex dolls have definitely grown in popularity in recent years, and thousands of people are now collecting them and using them on a regular basis. However, many people are still hesitant to get one due to common mistakes often made when trying to buy one.
To help those of you who want to avoid these common mistakes, here are the top 5 sex doll mistakes to avoid. This list will give you an idea of what NOT to do when buying your first sex doll and let you take advantage of all the benefits that come with owning one.
Sex Doll Mistake #1 – Buying A Sex Doll Without Research
With hundreds of different sex dolls available on a variety of online stores, selecting one can be pretty tricky. However, when it comes to sex dolls, it is extremely important that you do your research before purchasing.
While some options are better than others, cheap does not always equal good and spending more does not always equal better. Before making any decisions about which doll or brand to buy, take some time and read the available reviews. Online forums are a great place for people with common interests (e.g., sex dolls) to congregate and share their opinions on everything from size and shape preferences to brands they like and dislike.
Various sex doll forums offer numerous threads where you can find information on popular brands as well as specific products before buying anything. This can be very helpful, especially if you’re not sure what to look for before buying a sex doll. People on forums talk about every aspect of owning a sex doll and you can get valuable insights into things that haven’t even come to mind when you got the idea of buying a sex doll in the first place.
Sex Doll Mistake #2 – Overlooking Quality & Materials
The second biggest mistake sex doll shoppers make is overlooking quality and materials. The majority of sex dolls are made of Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE). TPE is a material that’s durable and easy to clean. Most inflatable dolls are made of vinyl or latex, which don’t last as long as TPE or feel as good during use. High-end sex dolls made from silicone can be more expensive, but they feel better than TPE alternatives due to their ability to stretch and form fit around a body.
Every material used for sex doll production has its pros and cons, and it’s important to understand them before making a final decision. TPE feels and looks better but it’s much more complex to clean thoroughly due to its porous structure. These small holes are an ideal place for residue and bacteria to stick on to, thus making it bigger health and safety hazard. Silicone sex dolls, on the other hand, aren’t so porous, but are less lifelike than TPE dolls.
Sex Doll Mistake #3 – Not Knowing About Cleaning & Maintenance
There are certain items that require a more intensive cleaning process (different than just spritzing your doll with a sex toy cleaner) – we’re talking about things like porous TPE, stainless steel and latex materials. The process for cleaning these materials is a bit different and will require you to purchase specific cleaners – which all doll manufacturers will provide in their maintenance kits.
Just be sure you don’t also use a silicone-based lubricant with them as it will degrade them over time. Storing your doll properly after each use will also extend its lifespan. Be sure to clean out any lube residue from inside the vagina, anus and mouth, otherwise, it’ll be absorbed into her body and there’ll be corrosion between where her limbs meet the torso.
Most sex dolls in the current market can be divided into two specific categories – TPE and silicone dolls. TPE are more lifelike but are porous and harder to clean. This means you’ll be spending much more time in the regular maintenance cleaning process, but you’ll also get to enjoy a much better experience. Silicone dolls on the other hand require less maintenance when it comes to cleaning.

Sex Doll Mistake #4 – Having Unrealistic Expectations
When you think about purchasing a sex doll, you probably have some general expectations. But here’s what most people don’t realize – every type of sex doll has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Different designs provide better functionality, while others offer better portability. These things matter a lot more than most customers realize until they actually start using their new purchase. If you want your sexual experiences with a sex doll to be as realistic as possible, then it’s important that you thoroughly research each model before buying it. And if all else fails – ask for advice from someone who already owns one! Reading reviews and checking out different forums online can be very helpful when it comes to finding first-hand information.
Unfortunately, people still consider owning a sex doll taboo, so you’re not likely going to approach someone on the street and ask them about owning a sex doll, right?
Sex Doll Mistake #5 – Not Considering Your Requirements
While there are many different types of sex dolls, most share certain characteristics and traits. However, it’s important that you consider exactly what type of doll is right for you. Some dolls are made for those with a more vanilla taste – while others are better suited to those looking for an adventure.
Other toys may be geared towards couples looking to add something extra into their love life or possibly singles looking for a partner without having to actually commit. Still, other toys are specifically built to enhance one specific thing. If oral is your thing (pun intended), then there’s nothing better than receiving head from your very own sex doll! However, it can be difficult to find precisely what you’re looking for if you don’t know where to start.
