Here is an often-overlooked topic among love doll retailers, yet it is so important.
Over the past ten years, we have sold thousands of sex dolls. While most of the feedback and reviews from our customers are overwhelmingly positive, some have raised concerns about the weight and measurements of the model they received. Indeed, some customers notice differences between the measurements provided on our website and those they take themselves.
As we aim to be as transparent as possible, it’s time to explain the reasons behind these discrepancies.
Unless otherwise stated, the height, weight, and measurements in centimeters listed on our website are taken as follows:
Height in centimeters includes the entire body with the head (from heel to the top of the skull). This is the same way height is measured on a human model.
Bust, underbust, waist, and hip measurements are taken using a measuring tape.
The weight listed for each doll on the product page refers to the doll without special options such as heating modules, robotic features, silicone gel inserts, etc.
Now you know how these measurements are taken.
When measuring a love doll’s bust, waist, or hips, various factors can cause discrepancies. Here they are:
Body position: Measurements may vary depending on whether the love doll is standing, sitting, or lying down. They can also be affected if the TPE or silicone has been compressed beforehand by clothing or other factors (notably in the chest area).
Measuring tools: The tension applied to a measuring tape can slightly affect the results. A tighter or looser pull can produce different measurements.
Use of specific options: If you select a Gel or Hollow breast option, the distribution of liquid or air in very large breasts can also influence the measurements. For instance, a K-CUP breast filled with gel will weigh more and may appear slightly larger than a Hollow breast.
Instrument precision: Measuring tapes or other tools used for measurements are not always perfectly accurate. A difference of a few millimeters or centimeters may result from the tool's scale.
Human error: Errors can occur during measurement due to improper adjustment of the tape or incorrect positioning of the person taking the measurements.

Industry standards for love dolls: In the sex doll industry, slight size variations are often accepted due to the factors mentioned above.
Options chosen: Some options add weight to the doll, such as gel-filled buttocks, ultra-soft breasts, or gel thighs and abdomen.
For example, gel-filled buttocks can add 1 to 3 kg, soft thighs up to 2 kg, or a soft abdomen up to 1 kg.
Customization: The dolls are customizable, and different configurations (like height, body shape, or accessories) affect the final weight.
Margin of error and manufacturing variations: The composition of silicone can change with material improvements, which impacts weight. Production timing and weather conditions can also play a role. For example, a doll made in summer might weigh less than one made in winter due to humidity and temperature differences. WMDolls, for instance, notes that dolls made from S-TPE can be slightly heavier than those made from standard TPE.
Robotic options and joints: Adding robotic features such as oral suction, mobile hips, or a robotic neck increases the doll’s weight. For example, a robotic neck adds approximately 4 kg, and mobile hips add around 3 to 5 kg.
Physical variations of the doll: Height, body shape, leg length, thigh thickness, and other physical attributes also influence the doll’s final weight.
Note: If you choose special options for your love doll and want to know the final weight before purchasing, let us know, and we’ll coordinate with the manufacturer to give you a more accurate estimate. This reduces the risk of surprises upon delivery.
Owning an excessively heavy love doll (over 35 kg) can present several challenges.
High weight: Some silicone or TPE dolls can weigh more than 35 kg or even over 50 kg for curvier models. This makes handling, moving, or storing them quite challenging.
Accessibility and transport challenges: Heavy dolls can be hard to transport, whether for storage, cleaning, or other needs. Finding ways to safely move such weights is essential to protect your physical health.
Storage issues: Storing the doll can also be problematic, especially if space is limited. Dolls must be stored in a position that avoids material deformation, requiring a dedicated space. It’s harder to suspend a 35 kg doll than a lighter one, as you’ll need a suspension hook and a structure capable of supporting such weight. Realistic dolls can take up significant space, which can be an issue if you live in a small area or lack a spare room for storage. If space is a concern, consider opting for Torso Sex Dolls.
Cleaning: Both heavy and lighter love dolls require regular cleaning to avoid bacteria buildup and odors. However, cleaning a heavy doll can be time-consuming and tedious.
Maintenance: A doll that’s too heavy may lead you to force movements, potentially causing damage. Improper handling can result in skin tears or skeleton damage. (e.g., tears in silicone, defective internal mechanisms, etc.). Patience is key to minimizing risks.
Difficulty standing: Heavier dolls with atypical shapes, such as large breasts or thighs, are harder to balance upright without risk of falling and damage.
Drying: After cleaning, the doll must be fully dried to avoid mold or bacteria growth. This process can take longer for larger, heavier dolls.
Premature wear and tear: Although durable, sex dolls can wear out over time, particularly with frequent handling. Friction areas (such as joints or intimate zones) may deteriorate, requiring repairs or replacements.
Risk of tears: Improper handling can lead to tears in the material (silicone or TPE), which could result in repair costs.
