Choose the Material That Matches Your Priorities
You do not need to become a materials expert before choosing a doll. Start with what matters most to you: defined detail, softness, flexibility, budget, body size, handling or maintenance.
Silicone and TPE can both be suitable choices. The individual model, body design, weight and construction matter just as much as the material name.

These are starting points, not absolute rules. Exact characteristics vary between individual products.
