Hardness and softness in Real-Feel sex dolls refer to the durometer of the silicone or TPE material, affecting tactile feel, durability, and performance. Softer blends feel more lifelike to the touch and can mimic the yielding resistance of human skin, while harder blends offer more structure and longevity, especially in joint areas. The choice depends on personal preference and intended use.
Consider the climate and cleaning routine. Softer materials may show stretching or indentation with repeated bending, particularly in cooler environments. Harder materials tend to resist these issues but may feel less natural to the touch. A balanced selection, perhaps with a mix of softer skin on exposed surfaces and slightly firmer areas at joints, can optimize both realism and durability.
Finally, maintenance plays a role. Softer materials may require gentler cleaning and more careful storage to prevent surface wear. Regular inspection of seams and removable components helps catch early signs of degradation. By understanding these material properties, users can select a doll that aligns with tactile expectations while maximizing lifespan.
