How to Choose Your First Sex Doll: Size, Material and Budget
By Velvet Muse
Short answer: decide on size first, then material, then budget. A 157cm / 5ft 2in or 160cm / 5ft 3in doll, at 28–33 kg, is the easiest to lift, dress and store. Full TPE feels softest and costs least, from £719. A silicone head gives a more lifelike face, from £1,039. Then check her measurements, weight and box size, and choose any factory add-ons before you order.
1. What size sex doll should I choose?
Height matters less than you might think. Weight and storage space are what you'll notice every day.
| Size | Weight | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Petite, 157cm / 5ft 2in | 28–30 kg | Lightest and easiest to handle, B–C cup |
| Petite, 158cm / 5ft 2in | 40–43 kg | Full H-cup curves on a shorter frame |
| Mid, 160–165cm / 5ft 3in–5ft 5in | 33–37 kg | A natural in-between size, C–E cup |
| Curvy, 162cm / 5ft 4in | 50 kg | J cup, our heaviest dolls |
| Tall, 170cm / 5ft 7in | 37–46 kg | Longer legs, C, D or G cup |
See how heavy a sex doll is for every height.
2. What cup size should I choose?
Our dolls range from B to J cup. A larger bust adds weight, so a 158cm / 5ft 2in H-cup is heavier than a 170cm / 5ft 7in D-cup. For a softer, more natural bounce, gel-filled breasts are available as a £129 add-on.
3. TPE or silicone head?
- Full TPE is softer and squishier, with more jiggle, and costs less. It needs a light dusting of cornstarch after washing and can pick up dye from dark fabrics.
- A silicone head on a TPE body gives you a firmer, more detailed and more stain-resistant face, with the same soft body.

4. How much should I spend?
Full TPE dolls cost £719 to £999 and silicone-head dolls £1,039 to £1,199, with free delivery to the UK and EU. Our sex doll price guide breaks down what you get at each price.
5. Which add-ons are worth it?
Add-ons are fitted at the factory, so decide before you order. The ones that change the experience most:
- Constant-temperature heating (£149): warms the body and lower body to skin temperature, taking away the room-temperature chill.
- Moaning + voice (£199) or smart voice (£179): she responds with sound when you touch her.
- Standing function (£79): reinforced soles and support points so she can stand for display, dressing and posing.
- Gel-filled breasts (£129) and realistic skin texture (£149): extra realism to the touch and the eye.
All ten are on our add-ons page.
6. Where will you keep her?
Plan for a delivery box of 140 to 160 cm, and a place to store her lying flat or hanging, away from direct sunlight, radiators and dark, dyed fabrics, which can stain TPE. A lockable wardrobe or a long storage box under the bed both work well.
7. In stock or pre-order?
A red lamp means the doll is in stock and dispatches within 2 to 4 working days. An amber lamp means you can reserve her now: she ships from the next consignment, and we email you a delivery date. Add-ons add production time either way. See in-stock sex dolls or pre-order sex dolls.
