Beginner's Orientation FAQ
What is a realistic budget for a high-quality doll?
A durable, medical-grade companion typically starts at $800 to $1,500 for Mini/Petite models, and $1,800 to $3,500+ for Lifesize or AI-enabled models. Beware of anything under $500, as they are often toxic "scam" products.
How do I hide my companion from guests?
Storage is a major part of buying. We recommend dedicated "doll closets," under-bed rolling cases, or choosing a Mini model (125cm or less) that can fit inside standard suitcases for discreet storage.
Which material is better for a first-time buyer?
TPE is generally recommended for beginners due to its high "realism-to-price" ratio and softer feel. Silicone is better for those who want a lifelong product and have a larger budget for durability.
Do I need special tools to move a Lifesize doll?
A full-size doll can weigh 35kg to 50kg+. We suggest purchasing a doll stand with wheels or a "hanging stand" to make positioning and cleaning significantly easier for one person.
