Materials used in the sex dolls industry are mainly TPE and silicone.
TPE is a rubber/ plastic blend. It is flexible, malleable and odorless. However, it is also porous. That means extra care needs to be taken in sterilizing.
Silicone is a very versatile and high-quality material. It is non-porous, which makes it stain resistant , easily sterilized, and better water resistance. Besides, it can be heated for a longer period of time. So it can incorporate with integrated heating systems.

1) Standard TPE;
2) Extra Jiggly TPE;

Platinum TPE: TPE treated with platinum. This kind of TPE can almost reach the lifelikeness of silicone, with much more durable feature and realistic touch feeling than traditional TPE.
