After finally deciding to buy my firstsex doll, I went online thinking I would find one I liked and buy it, because it would be an easy process, right? However, you need to know the cost of the sex dolls.

Been there and done that. It took me a long time to learn all the ins and outs of the sex doll industry. Luckily, I'm ready to share my knowledge with you and you can learn it all in a matter of minutes.

The problem is not the actual purchase, but everything that happens beforehand.
What kind of sex dolls do you want?
I thought that all I needed to do to find out the price of a sex doll was to find one that looked like my ideal female and check the price tag. But it's so much more than that - there are so many options!

It's not just the look of the sex doll that needs to be considered. There are several factors that can affect the cost of a sex doll.

Doll size
Sex dolls come in a variety of sizes and this will be a factor in the cost of the doll. Generally speaking, the larger the doll, the higher the price, but this is not all you need to consider.

Size is not only height related but also weight related and it is a good idea to consider your weight, height and strength when making your choice. This will help to ensure that you can carry and manipulate the doll as needed and have fun and not be embarrassed.

Body type
Whether you prefer big and juicy or sweet and petite, there's a sex doll to suit your tastes. Body shape also has an effect on the size of the doll, as a pair of perky breasts and nice rounded booties require the use of more material, which can make the doll larger. Again, this means that curvy sex dolls cost more than slim ones.

Materials
Not all sex dolls are made from the same materials, which can affect their cost. They can be made from several different materials, but the main choices are TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and silicone, which can be found here for comparison.

Not only do they differ in quality, but they also have a different impact on the price, with silicone being more expensive. Silicone dolls are easier to maintain and last longer.

Number of sex holes
By considering how you intend to use your sex doll, you will be able to determine how many holes you would like her to have. However, more expensive sex dolls have three realistic sex holes.

Realistic look
If you have the money, you can get a bespoke sex doll which can include a very realistic look. The manufacturer will probably put a lot of time and effort into making sure she looks real and this will cost you.

Optional technical features
A sex doll is not always 'what you see is what you get'. It is likely that it has many extra things that you will only notice when you are having fun with her.

These may include technological advances such as body temperature, the ability to stand, or even artificial intelligence, which will allow her to recognise you when she is near you and speak or move her eyes. If you want to include these optional features, you can expect to pay a higher price.

Customs
With a wide selection of sex doll manufacturers on the market, you can create the perfect sex doll. The dolls can be customised to your liking, covering everything from hair styles to toenail colours. Compare suppliers to see the different options they have available.

How long should it last?
Initially, the duration of a sex doll will depend on how often you use her and how you treat her. The quality of the materials used to make her and the manufacturing process will also play a role in determining how long she lasts.

It is useful to compare different suppliers as I have found different prices for the same doll on different websites. As well as price, sellers can offer other benefits such as lower shipping costs or more customisable options.

How much do sex dolls cost?
The wide variety of dolls offered by the many suppliers on the market means that there is an option available for every pocket. I have found that no matter what your price range is, you can find the best doll for you.

The most common price ranges for sex dolls are

Cheap sex dolls
These will be the most basic versions on the market and are also known as 'mini sex dolls'. These sex dolls are usually small in stature and are ideal for those who prefer a petite female. Sex dolls in this class are not usually made of the finest materials or customisable, but they can still get the job done.

You can find them for $450 to $900.

Priced at around $900 to $1500, these lifelike sex dolls last long enough for you to have a lot of fun with them and give you a good idea of what you want from your ideal doll.

In the middle
A sex doll priced between US$1,500 and US$2,800 is everything you need for years of entertainment. A degree of customisation will be offered and they will be made from quality materials. Tpe sex dolls at this level can be created to suit your needs.

High End

If you want cream, you can expect to pay around $2,800 to $15,000 for a first class sex doll. These silicone sex dolls are not only very realistic, but can be customised to suit your tastes.

When looking at all the options for sex doll costs, I had to keep my budget in mind so I didn't get confused by all the specifications. This means I can get the right type of sex doll for my money.

Sex dolls cost on a budget

Sex doll torsos
These cannot be considered dolls in the traditional sense as they do not include the whole body, but only the middle section.

Although this option will not provide the realism of a traditional sex doll, it still provides you with two fun holes to play with. It will also be lighter and easier to manipulate without having to worry about limbs and heads.

These smaller, lighter alternatives are also easier to store when not in use.
