The Video Doll Session
Problem Background
When it comes to buying dolls, there is a major issue that often goes unnoticed but can significantly impact the overall experience – their weight. This is especially true for those who prefer big, thick, curvy, and voluptuous dolls. But why?
Why is Weight A problem?
These dolls, when reaching around the height of around 5 feet with a thick build, can easily weigh over 100 pounds, or even 120 and above. While some may argue that this weight is manageable, it’s important to consider that not everyone has access to a gym or the time and ability to train regularly. Additionally, even if one is physically fit, there is a limit to what the body can handle, especially depending on individual health conditions.
Another important point to consider is that dolls lack convenient bars or handles to grab onto. This means that the weight on the doll’s body can shift during the handling process, as the skeleton inside can move. This makes the weight of the doll a real challenge for anyone, regardless of their fitness level or training background. In fact, many newcomers to this hobby often lose interest quickly due to the difficulties associated with handling the weight of these dolls.
The weight issue doesn’t just affect personal interactions with the sex doll; it starts right from the shipping process. Once a package exceeds a certain weight limit, couriers may refuse to take it. This explains why you rarely see BBW dolls over 60 kilograms or 130 pounds in the market. Moreover, the heavy weight of the box can annoy shipping staff, leading them to be reluctant to handle the package with care. This can result in a beaten-up box or, in some cases, even creases or deformed body parts due to the weight of the doll alone within the box.
Introduction of Weight Reduction on Sex Dolls
Fortunately, many brands and manufacturers have recognized this problem and have developed solutions to address the weight issue. Among all the solutions, weight reduction has become the most successful one. It’s not unusual to spot manufacturers proudly advertising how light their dolls are and how advanced their weight reduction technology is.
So how does this weight reduction technique work? It’s actually quite straightforward. Foam is attached to the doll’s skeleton, replacing some of the heavier original TPE or silicone during the production process. This reduces the weight and material used, giving users a lighter doll and saving resources for the factories. At first glance, it seems like a perfect solution to the weight problem.
The Problem on Weight Reduction on Dolls
However, there is one significant drawback to this weight reduction technique – it compromises the jiggly quality of the doll. The plastic foams used are light but rigid, resulting in body parts that become hard. You may find hard arms, hard thighs, hard belly, and hard buttocks on these dolls. This issue becomes more noticeable in thicker and bigger dolls, as the loss of the jiggly quality in their larger body parts becomes more obvious. This problem is also more prominent in TPE dolls due to their softer nature compared to silicone dolls.

To address this issue, some manufacturers offer customization options such as softer body parts. However, this usually involves removing the foam in those specific body parts, which does help restore some of the jiggly quality but adds back the weight.
Weight Reduction on TPE vs Silicon Dolls
Despite these drawbacks, weight reduction has indeed become a popular trend among most manufacturers. However, the trend slightly differs between silicone and TPE dolls. It is more common to find weight reduction applied to silicone dolls rather than TPE dolls. The weight reduction process for TPE dolls is more expensive due to the high temperature involved in their production process, which requires more expensive heat-resistant materials. On the contrary, the cold-temperature silicone doll production process is more friendly to the application of foams.
Additionally, the recent rising popularity of silicone dolls over TPE dolls and the higher cost of silicone material may also contribute to the difference in weight reduction trends between the two.
Verdict
The weight issue is undeniably challenging in the doll hobby. It is particularly harsh for us BBW lovers. As we are still far away from a robotic future where weight would no longer be a concern, weight reduction remains the most practical solution for heavy dolls. Without weight reduction, the market may be flooded with smaller, shorter, and skinnier dolls. While these dolls may appeal to some individuals, those who prefer thicker and bigger dolls would find themselves longing for better weight reduction options to enhance their experience.
In conclusion, the weight problem in the doll hobby is a significant challenge that manufacturers and enthusiasts continue to grapple with. Efforts have been made to combat this issue through weight reduction techniques, but compromises in the jiggly quality of the dolls have been unavoidable. However, the industry is continually evolving, and we can look forward to the next generation of weight-reduction techniques that can truly complement the jiggly quality in dolls. Until then, let’s appreciate the advancements that have already been made and continue to support the efforts being made in the industry to improve the overall BBW thicker doll experience.
