When it comes to finding the softness you're looking for on silicone doll, this is the beginning of a quest, especially if you're used to TPE. Should you opt for weight reduction, or even super weight reduction, as is the case with XT Doll, do you want a soft, classic body or a gel butt?
We'll take a look at all the points to consider and compare various configurations, which you'll find at the bottom of the article.
Before getting to the heart of the matter, it's important to understand how a silicone doll is designed. If in the early days most were manufactured like the TPE versions, a major problem soon arose. An silicone doll is much heavier than with weight reduction. It could be argued that manufacturers want to pull down the price of raw materials, but this argument doesn't hold water. Silicone prices are relatively stable, despite a spike during the Covid period, as shown in the chart below here.
To keep things as simple as possible, we can say that :
If you would like to know more about this topic, this article on the weight reduction on silicone or TPE doll is made for you.
Of course, there's the silicone itself, which will depend on the recipe and materials used by the manufacturer. In 2024, everyone has understood that we want realism, softness and the lowest possible weight. In other words, nobody will be making tire-hard silicone dolls any more, unless there's an exceptional demand.
Nevertheless, there may still be nuances from one brand to another that can be considered negligible.
Here are the main parameters that have a real impact:
If you don't know what a foam core is, in a nutshell it's the famous foam that surrounds the skeleton of a silicone doll, making it lighter, and which you'll find pictured just below.
To answer this question, you first need to ask yourself the right questions!
Before explaining the advantages and disadvantages of both, here's a video comparing the two types.
The advantages of classic silicone: shock resistance, more precise make-up and better hold.
Disadvantage: not suitable for comfortable cuddling.
Suitable for purely visual use in exhibitions and photography.
The advantages of soft silicone: its smooth glide and, of course, its softness.
Disadvantages: less resistant to knocks or punches, more sensitive to tears, especially on intimate parts, make-up holds less well when rubbed.
Suitable for mixed use or 100 % cuddles.
If you're going for soft silicone with a view to regularly feeding the lady with various fluids, it's highly advisable to take note of the big mistakes that you can easily avoid by reading this post.
Note that not all brands offer a choice of classic or soft silicone, for example Zelex Inspiration Serie, Bezlya or Irontech. When this isn't the case, silicone is automatically cuddle-oriented for most of them, as for example with the bimbos from Zelex SLE, which generate winter heatwaves. Here's an article on Zelex SLE.
If you have any doubts about the softness of a brand, the best thing to do is ask us for a video of it.
Now that you've determined your use and the type of silicone you want, it's time to weigh up the pros and cons of weight reduction. If you take a block of silicone, it will be soft under pressure, but if you place a thin layer on a table, you'll quickly feel its resistance. To put it simply, if you press on your thigh or your stomach, the result will not be the same.
Weight reduction is a bit like pressing on your thigh - it's soft and smooth on the surface, but there's a muscle underneath that offers resistance. If it's more anatomically realistic for a silicone doll, the impact on the sensory experience is noticeable, and the same goes for your muscles and vertebrae.
The absence of weight reduction is like pressing on your belly, it's softer. An option to consider if you want the max on this parameter, but beware the weight generally rises to +20 - 30 % of the displayed weight depending on the doll's morphology. In other words, the taller and/or more shapely the doll, the more the weight rises towards +30 rather than +20 %.
Recently, several brands such as Fanreal or Irontech have incorporated the possibility of a softer vagina to combine a strong classic silicone body with the pleasure of penetrating a more inviting miss. What the story doesn't say is whether this isn't already the default on other brands.
This is the case, for example, with all the Evas doll, a brand founded by, among others, a former employee of Gynoid. Their dolls come with an ultra-soft vagina by default, leaving little doubt as to the high level of softness, never seen before.
Still on the subject of innovation, Evas Doll offers a self-lubricating system by default. Just fill Madame's reservoir, discreetly hidden around the ribs, and let her wet herself - technological evolution never stop!
In all cases, since the exterior strength is not affected, the soft vagina when available in the brand is always recommended for intercourse.
The gel options apply to the three parts of the body: breasts, buttocks and possibly thighs. The aim is to give a boost of softness to enhance realism and pleasure. One thing you need to know about silicone dolls is that breasts are always made of gel. This puts into perspective any "free gel breasts", which are always the default. To date, only Irontech offers an ultra-soft version of the breasts as a paying option, for even more hypnotic movements. An option to be relativized, since the story doesn't say how soft the others are.
For example, I experimented with injecting gel into the breasts of two of my Future Dolls, one to reshape them and the other to enlarge them. I found that the injected gel was slightly less soft than the original one.
These are now a pay-as-you-go option offered by virtually all brands of silicone dolls, overcoming a shortcoming of the latter whose buttocks used to be a little too concrete. The gel butts provide more realistic behavior and a more pleasant feel, a must-have if you're planning naughty things. Note that this option is generally incompatible with a body without weight reduction, as there's too much risk of tearing, so you'll have to make a compromise.
Irontech also offers a choice of three types: gel-free, with gel or ultra-soft. Other brands offer only two types, without or with gel, which is not an indicator of the level of softness. Understand that X's utra soft may be just as soft as Y's "classic" gel buttocks.
The video below gives an interesting comparative idea.
When it comes to gel butts, it's important to take a few factors into account.
To prevent deformations and tears, prefer soft surfaces for sitting or lying, such as a sofa or bed, and avoid hard surfaces, especially if the doll is heavy.
Now that we've covered the main options that can impact the softness and totally change your experience, we can deduce five main configurations that make sense. Some are totally photo or exposure oriented, others optimized for cuddling and finally those that can do a mix of both.
Since a photo shoot can be time-consuming, requiring sometimes extreme poses lasting dozens of minutes, or when exposure means standing still for days or weeks at a time, we're going to emphasize aspects such as realism, strength and mobility with the lightest possible weight. Here's a suitable configuration.
Can possibly combine sturdiness and cuddles with the soft vagina option when available in the brand.
The few configurations below can bring together the best of both worlds, i.e. exposure - photo and naughty things. You'll lose a little in make-up precision, but the long-term hold will be less good.
Finally, here are a few decidedly sex-oriented configurations
