Gel in the breasts is included in the build. Gel in the buttocks costs $150. That isn't a special offer. We charge for what we are charged for, and there is no extra cost behind the first one.
So the real question here is smaller than it looks. Breast gel is free, so choose it or skip it based on feel alone. Buttock gel costs $150 and adds weight low and wide on a body you have to lift. That is the choice worth thinking about.
What gel-infused means on a silicone doll
Instead of solid silicone all the way through, a section filled with gel sits behind the outer silicone layer. The surface is the same material with the same finish. What changes is what is underneath.
What you get
Feel
Gel feels softer under your hand, with more give. It moves out of the way under your palm instead of just pressing down. Solid silicone of the same size feels firmer and more even. This is why people choose gel, and it does deliver. It is the closest our material gets to what TPE buyers describe, without any of the problems TPE has later. See why we sell silicone only.
Movement
Gel moves when she moves. It shifts as her position changes and settles with gravity, while solid silicone keeps its shape. Which one looks more real is a matter of personal taste, and it is the one thing on this page a photo can't show you.
How she looks at rest
Gel settles naturally when she is lying down. Solid silicone keeps its shape in any position. Some owners prefer that, and others find it looks stiff.
What it costs you
Weight in the worst place
Gel is heavier than the silicone it replaces. In the buttocks, that weight sits low and wide, away from your body when you lift her. That shape is what makes a doll feel heavier than the number on the spec sheet.
If you are already close to the most you can comfortably move, this is the strongest reason to choose solid. It is the same advice we give for every choice that adds weight. See what she really weighs.
One more boundary inside her
A solid section has fewer ways to fail. Gel adds a boundary between two materials, and boundaries are where things eventually come apart.
Repair
A tear over a gel section is not a home repair. Contact us instead of opening it. The repair is simple for us, but it is easy to make worse at home. See what you can and can't fix at home.

How we would decide
Breast gel: it costs nothing, so decide on feel alone. Choose softer with movement, or firmer and fixed. There is no wrong answer and no money involved.
Buttock gel at $150 is a good choice if: softness is one of the main things you are paying for · you are well within the weight you can handle · you want movement instead of a fixed shape.
Choose solid if: you are close to the most weight you can manage · you want the easiest build to look after · you would rather put the $150 toward body warmth at $115, which changes the experience more reliably than any softness option. See our options with our own prices.
If you want her softer overall instead of in one place, look at softer thighs for $130 and a softer belly for $80 before you look at anything mechanical. Neither one can break down, and neither one shortens the warranty.
The bigger decision
Every option that adds weight makes her a little harder to move, and a doll that is awkward to move is a doll that stays where she is. That is the reason behind most regrets about a build. It isn't usually the wrong option. It is too many options.
Add gel where you want it. Then check her total weight in the configurator before you confirm, and ask yourself whether you would carry that up a flight of stairs.
Common questions
Is gel worth the extra cost?
Breast gel costs nothing here, so the question only applies to the buttocks at $150. For softness and movement, it does what it promises. Whether it is the best way to spend $150 on your build depends on how much weight you can handle.
Why is one free and the other paid?
Because that is how our costs work. We don't add a charge for an option that doesn't cost us anything, and we don't discount one that does.
Can I add gel later?
No. It is part of the build and is added during production. That is a good reason to choose it if you really can't decide.
Can a tear over a gel section be repaired?
Not at home. Contact us. If she arrived that way, tell us in writing within 7 days with a photo. If it happened later, contact us at any time. See the repair guide.
Does gel change how long production takes?
No. She spends two to three weeks on the workbench either way.
