A silicone sex doll built to your specification costs about $1,900–3,500. TPE costs much less. The price range isn't random. It follows the material, the hours of finishing work, the skeleton, and how much checking happens before the crate is closed.
We sell at the top of that range, and we are not the cheapest store you will find. This page explains where the money goes, written by the people who set the price.
The price ranges
These cover the whole market, both silicone and TPE, whether they are sold as sex dolls, love dolls or real dolls. The name changes, but the costs behind it don't.
| Price range | What you usually get |
|---|---|
| Under $600 | TPE, a basic skeleton, minimal finishing and a fixed design. Often there is no real inspection. |
| $600–1,200 | TPE, a better skeleton and finishing, and some choices. |
| $1,200–1,900 | Entry-level silicone, or high-end TPE. Real choices you can make. |
| $1,900–3,500 | Silicone, a fully custom build, better skeletons, and finishing that holds up to close inspection. This is where we are. |
| $4,000+ | Made in the West, fully custom work, or dolls with animatronics. |
Where the money goes
Material. Silicone costs several times more per kilogram than TPE before anyone has even worked with it. Across a full body, that alone explains a large part of the price difference. See why we buy the expensive one.
How it is made. TPE is melted and injected into a mold, so a flawed piece can be reheated and made again. Silicone is cured in a reaction that only goes one way, so a flawed pour has to be thrown away. It is slower and more wasteful, and that is reflected in the price list we order from.
Finishing work. This includes working the seams, finishing the skin and painting the face. It is the biggest cost that varies from doll to doll, the first thing cut on cheap dolls, and the difference you notice most from a normal talking distance. See what that looks like up close.
Skeleton. The quality of her joints decides whether she holds a pose and how long she keeps holding it. Cheap skeletons get loose, and a loose joint isn't something you can see in a photo.
Options. Here is our list, with our prices: body warmth +$115 · oral warmth +$75 · intimate warmth +$100 · hip movement +$280 · head movement +$280 · oral motion +$300 · Clamp & Suck +$100 internal, +$100 external · intelligent moaning +$130 · softer belly +$80 · softer thighs +$130 · gel-infused buttocks +$150 · pubic hair styling +$40 · tan line +$60 · nipple piercing +$5 · navel piercing +$7. Gel-infused breasts, breast and hip size, skin tone, face, hair and eyes are included. See which of these we would choose.
Inspection and photos. Someone has to handle her, check her against your order and photograph her for your approval before she is packed. Most sellers don't do this, and it is a real reason why most sellers are cheaper than we are.
Shipping. Her crate weighs more than she does and is shipped internationally with insurance. That costs real money, and it is often where a cheap advertised price quietly makes back its profit.
Why a cheap sex doll costs what it does
Usually it isn't a trick. It is an honest price for a real product that is missing real things:
- TPE instead of silicone. This is most of the saving, and it is the one you can't undo later
- Minimal finishing, which means visible seams and flatter paint
- A basic skeleton, with fewer joints that get loose sooner
- A fixed design, so you get whatever comes out of the mold
- No inspection, because she goes from the factory to the shipper to your door without anyone opening the box
- No approval step, so the first person to look at her is you, and by then she is already yours
Each of these is a real saving that comes at a real cost. The question to ask is which of them you will still be thinking about in two years. On owner forums, the answer is always the same two things: the finishing and the material. Nobody is still annoyed about the shipping.
What else you will spend
The purchase price isn't the whole cost, and this is where budgets get caught out. Plan to spend a few hundred dollars more in the first year on shipping, customs where they apply, storage, care supplies, clothing, wigs and a repair kit.
Storage is the cost people skip, and it is the one that decides how she looks in year three. Buy the repair kit before you need it, not after. See the storage guide.
Paying over time
Financing is available for up to 20 months for customers who qualify. You are approved at checkout, and she goes into production exactly as she would otherwise. Ask us about terms and who can qualify.
How to tell whether a price is real
Here are four checks, and we would like you to use them on us too:
Is shipping included? A low advertised price with a few hundred dollars of shipping added at checkout is not a low price.
Are customs fees covered? An unexpected bill at the door is common with imported goods, and on a $2,000 item it isn't small.
Are the options included, or does everything cost extra? Some prices are for a fixed design, with every option charged on top. Ours shows the running total as you build.
Is the price far lower than everyone else's? Manufacturers set minimum advertised prices by contract, so real prices are close together. A price far below that usually means gray-market stock, a different material from the one advertised, or a seller who won't be around when you need them. See seven checks to make before you pay.
What we charge, and what it includes
Silicone. The full nine-step custom build. An inspection against your order, not just against a general standard. Photos of your finished doll before she ships, which you approve before anything happens. A plain crate with nothing on the outside. Six months of warranty, and five months on electrical parts, on top of your local legal rights.
What your money really buys is the material, the finishing and the approval step. Those are the three things that can't be added later. See what your build costs.
Common questions
Why are sex dolls so expensive?
Because of the material, since a full body is made of it and it is cured instead of melted, plus hours of finishing work that can't be done by machines. The price is mostly material and labor, and neither is getting cheaper quickly.
What is the lowest price you will find?
About $600–800 for TPE. Below that, corners are being cut somewhere you will notice, usually in the finishing and the skeleton.
Are there hidden costs?
Shipping and customs surprise people most often. Ask about both before you order, whether you are asking us or anyone else you are considering.
Do prices drop in sales?
Minimum prices set by contract mean real discounts are limited. A big "discount" that never ends is usually based on a made-up original price. That is an unfair business practice, not a bargain.
Is a more expensive doll better?
Up to the top of the silicone price range, mostly yes. Above that, you are paying for options and mechanisms, not quality you can see, and the mechanisms are the parts that break.
What is the cheapest way to buy well?
Choose the smaller build, choose silicone, and skip the motion options. That build costs less than a mid-height one full of options, and it will last longer.
