The evolution of material science has played a pivotal role in making sex dolls more realistic, both in appearance and feel. In the past, sex dolls were made from rigid, plastic materials that lacked the softness, flexibility, and lifelike texture desired by users. However, advances in materials like silicone, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), and polyurethane have allowed for the creation of dolls that closely mimic human skin, with a soft, pliable feel that adds to their realism.
Silicone, in particular, is one of the most popular materials used in modern sex dolls due to its ability to replicate human skin’s texture and elasticity. It is hypoallergenic, durable, and can be easily cleaned, making it a practical choice for those looking for a lifelike experience. TPE, another widely used material, is softer and more flexible, providing a different feel that some users find more comfortable.
In addition to the skin-like materials, improvements in internal structures—such as metal skeletons and articulated joints—allow sex dolls to maintain more natural postures and movements. The integration of these materials has enabled manufacturers to create dolls that not only look more realistic but also feel more authentic, contributing to a heightened sense of intimacy and engagement for users.
