Curiosity about companion dolls is growing, but straightforward information can be hard to find. Let’s pull back the curtain and offer an unfiltered guide to the realities of owning one of these lifelike partners.
First, they are heavy. A full-sized silicone doll can weigh 60-100 pounds or more. This adds to the realism but makes positioning and moving them a physical task that requires effort. Second, they are not self-lubricating. A high-quality, water-based lubricant is absolutely essential for any sexual activity to ensure comfort and prevent damage to the doll’s material. Silicone or oil-based lubes are a definite no, as they will destroy the doll’s skin. Third, hygiene is non-negotiable. Thorough cleaning after every use with warm water and antibacterial soap is critical for both your health and the doll’s longevity. This is a commitment that can take 20-30 minutes. Finally, they are passive. The doll cannot move on its own or reciprocate. The entire experience is driven by your physical effort and, most importantly, your imagination. They are a canvas for your fantasy, not an active participant, and understanding this is key to a satisfying experience.
