It’s also way cheaper. For many of us who are starting on our sex doll adventure, TPE is the best choice in many cases, since often, you might not have the money or a silicone doll. Silicone is super expensive, and it definitely is something that you might have a problem with. With TPE, you can get a sex doll and learn to experience it, and from there, you’ll be able to eventually get another doll if you so like. Obviously, it isn’t super cheap, but if you’ve decided to commit to a sex doll, and you’re still unsure of if you want to have a much more expensive option or not or you just don’t want to wait, then definitely consider the idea of going TPE with your choice, since it can definitely help.

In Japan, sex dolls are known as "Dutch wives" (ダッチワイフ datchi waifu), which now refers to relatively inexpensive dolls. Their name originates from the term, possibly English, for the thick rattan or bamboo bolster, used to aid sleep in humid countries by keeping one's limbs lifted above sweaty sheets. Orient Industry is considered to be the leading manufacturer of high-end silicone dolls in Japan,[13] which started using another term "love dolls" (ラブドール rabu dōru) around 1998 to distinguish their dolls from the image of inflatable dolls associated with the term "Dutch wife".[14] The term has stuck and is now used generally to refer to any high-end product. There is a business, Doru no Mori (Doll Forest) in Tokyo, that rents love dolls and rooms to male customers.[15][16] In March 2007 the Japanese daily Mainichi Shimbun newspaper reported that there are also rental businesses that bring the dolls to the customer's home, and that the specialist love-doll magazine i-doloid has a print-run of 10,000 copies per issue.[17]
