What Is The Difference Between TPE VS Silicone?

No matter if you are a newbie to adult sex dolls or have already owned your TPE/Silicone doll, it is important to know the difference between TPE and silicone. 

Smoothness & Texture

TPE is known for its smoothness and soft texture, which is one of its advantages over silicone. Silicone feels harder than TPE. Usually, silicone dolls have noticeable seams along the sides, but TPE dolls can have the seams invisible using heating or chemical techniques. 

Stain & Clothing

It is easier for TPE dolls to stain than silicone. Whenever there is oil, color can be leeched out of clothing to doll skin in an hour. On the other hand, silicone dolls may take hours to get stained when wearing a dark piece of clothing or lingerie. Therefore, if you have a TPE doll, make sure that your doll wears light colors, such as nude, pink or white to prevent stains. 

Maintenance

Practically, silicone requires less maintenance than TPE as silicone possesses natural anti-bacterial properties. However, if not cleaned and dried properly, TPE can suffer from bacterial growth as it is more active. Unlike TPE, silicone is better at keeping its original shape even when applying extreme pressure.

Function

Dolls with TPE heads have oral intercourse functions, whereas dolls with silicone head for sale at SeductX does not have this function. 

Make-up Longevity

TPE head is allowed for eyebrow and eyelash transplant while the silicone head for sale at SeductX is not. On the other hand, the make-up on silicone heads lasts longer than that on TPE head.
