The two main types of materials used in manufacturing dolls are silica gel and TPE.
Silicone is a non-porous material that can be easily cleaned and provides better water resistance. It can withstand longer heats and can therefore incorporate an integrated heating system. Silicone also has a longer service life than TPE. However, TPE has outstanding performance in terms of competitive prices. Moreover, the TPE sex doll's skin is softer, more elastic and realistic, and it is more attractive to more people than silicone.
