- Skin Color
Sex dolls come with skin color customization. Typically, skin color refers to the skin texture of the sex doll you intend to buy. Different manufacturers produce dolls that come in a variety of skin tones which you should be able to see from the customization menu on the product page.
These might include light tan, dark tan, fair, and white, cocoa, pink, and so on. Additionally, manufacturers do welcome custom requests for specific skin tones if you want.

It's important to note that skin color will look different on TPE or Silicone skin than how it does on the computer, so if you're unsure of the skin color, a sample kit can be purchased.
- Eye Color
The best part about the eyes in a custom sex doll is that they aren't fixed. It means they are not permanent and you can change or remove them at your will. However, eye color can make or break the appearance of the doll depending on your preference.
So, make sure that you get the right ones for your doll. Apart from that, if you find it difficult to choose the right eye color, you can add another extra pair of eyes. That way, you can switch between them whenever you want.
Because you can take out and replace the eyes of your sex doll, there is no harm in experimenting with different colors.
Eye color can easily be selected from the sex doll customization menu from the available options.
- Wigs
A beautiful wig makes your sex doll look sexy. So, when it comes to choosing wigs, sex doll manufacturers offer a variety of styles for you to choose from. All you have to do is choose the one that suits your preference and it comes with the doll.
The wigs fit on your doll like a cap and you can change or replace them with ease. In addition, you can always choose wigs from other places or stores in case you are not satisfied with their quality or just looking for something different or unique. As such, many people end up buying many different wigs for their sex dolls to have some variety.
- Nipple Size
When you are looking for the perfect nipple size in your doll, perhaps you should consider areola size. In general, the nipple size typically refers to the diameter of the areola. It is hand-finished by artists and comes in different sizes catering to your needs.
However, if you are confused about the nipple size, choose the option that says "same as photo" when you are placing an order. This will ensure you get the same size as the doll in the picture.
- Nipple Color
Another important aspect most people look for when ordering a sex doll is the color of the nipples. Most of the time, it has a pinkish color by default. The color is usually hand stained using TPE stain in the workshop.
In general, the artists can make any color of your choice. But it is good to have the same color for nipples and vaginas (more on this below). If you're unsure, opt for "same as picture", we'll replicate the nipple color on the promotional images for you.
- Nail Color (Fingers and Toes)
What makes sex dolls more interesting is that you can paint fingernails and toenails as people do. As such, most dolls come with color options for you to choose from. Typically, the fingernails and toenails in sex dolls are available in natural or pink colors.
However, if you are looking for something extra, you may try other colors as well. But keep in mind that the color on the fingernails and toenails isn't painted on. Rather, the material itself is colored.
It means if you choose pink, the color stays on permanently (or until it wears off after a few years). It won't go off even if you wash it. Therefore, double-check your color choice before making the final decision.
However, do keep in mind you can always change the nail colors at home with specialized tools, so if you do end up changing your mind, there's always the option for you to change things up on your own.
- Fixed or Removable Vagina
Another customizing feature in sex dolls comes in the form of a fixed and removable vagina. As the name suggests, fixed vaginas are permanent and you can't remove them. It gives you the most realistic feel that you can have. You can control how tight the vagina should be simply by opening the legs.
On the other hand, removable vaginas give you get the liberty to insert and remove them from the vaginal cavity of sex dolls. You can take it out with ease and clean it after using the doll. Moreover, you can even replace it if broken.
Although a fixed vagina can give you a more realistic feel, cleaning them properly is more difficult. Nevertheless, fixed vaginas offer a more detailed feel and look. While it is a bit challenging to clean, most people opt for fixed vaginas in their sex dolls.
- Vagina Color
The vagina is hand-colored according to your preference when placing the order. However, almost every manufacturer offers basic color with the right definition to make it appealing. Manufacturers will offer different selections for vagina color which you can easily choose from by looking at the pictures in the options menu.
When it comes to vagina color, you should aim for the same as your chosen nipple color (by default they are). That way, it makes the doll more realistic.
- Natural vs. Standing Foot vs. Natural Standing Foot
Apart from the material and hand craftsmanship, the skeleton work determines whether or not a sex doll can stand on its feet. Typically, you can avail of two different types of foot: natural and standing foot. However, there is another type that people refer to as natural standing foot.
You can't make a doll stand on its feet if it comes with a natural foot option. Even if you make them stand, the TPE material below won't be able to withstand the doll's weight. However, dolls with standing feet have visible bolts on their feet that can hold the doll's weight with ease.
With dolls that have a standing foot option, the possibilities are endless. You can make them stand for photoshoots, storage, and sex position. With a natural foot, you have to make the doll sit or lay down. This is why people will more often go with the standing foot option.
With advancements in technology, some manufacturers now offer natural standing foot options in dolls. The feet come with hardened silicone material enough to support the doll's weight. This means there are no visible bolts. That way, it looks like a natural foot but works like a standing foot; best of both worlds. The only drawback is price, some manufacturers will charge an upgrade fee for the natural standing foot option.
- Moaning Technology
Click the below video for a demonstration of sex doll moaning technology:
If you want to enhance your sexual sex doll experience, this feature may be for you. Recorded moaning with limited variations might work well if you specifically seek this feature in your sex doll.
This feature gets activated when you exert pressure or movement on the doll. Sometimes, a squeeze of the breasts makes the doll react with a moaning sound. When having an intimate moment with your sex doll, a moaning sound will give you more excitement.
The technology will differ between brands. Some of them have built-in moaning technology while others have an external speaker that is connected to the doll. Please inquire if you want specifics regarding how the technology works and operates for a specific brand.
- Freckles (Facial or Body)
Not everyone is looking for flawless skin for their sex dolls. So, if you are looking for natural freckles either on the doll's face or body, this option can make you happy. The freckles are scattered in areas that naturally receive much sunlight.
The areas constitute the forehead, cheeks, nose, and some parts of the body. Therefore, freckles are intuitive sex doll options that you can choose when customizing your doll. These effects on the doll's skin are hand applied by expert makeup artists.
However, freckles are not permanent and may fade over time because of constant use and cleaning, if you want a more permanent option, opt for the permanent make-up option in addition to this one (if available, depending on the brand).
- Bikini Line/Light Tan Effect
If you are looking for a dark sexy vibe from your sex doll, a bikini line or light tan skin design is the right option for you.
Many people love to hang out with sporty tanned-skin sex dolls because they find them unique. The tan colors could be brown or light brown. Characterized by delicate work, fashion, and top quality, the light tan effect option is another great customization that you can have in sex dolls.
- Implanted Synthetic or Human Hair
Many manufacturers are incorporating their sex dolls with implanted synthetic or human hair. Although this option is expensive, it looks more natural compared to wigs. But there is an underlying issue with implanted hair.
Eventually, the hair will shed and fall out because of the implantation process. In addition, they are difficult to clean because the doll's head carries them. However, it will stay for longer periods on dolls made of silicone compared to TPE heads. If you are into photography, this option might be great. Or else, it may be better to stick to wigs.
Regarding hair options and color options, you won't be able to choose implanted hair styling options, by default, they come as long straight hair which you can then style yourself however you like. As for color, depending on the manufacturer, you should be able to choose from a selection of basic human-colored hair.
We will contact you after your order to get your selection for the hair color.
- Vagina Lubricant Insert
Another innovative option that you find in sex dolls is lubricant-free vaginas. As the term suggests, it provides you with a simple way to have sexual intercourse with the doll when there is no lubricant around.
All you need to do is pour water in small quantities into the vagina to lubricate naturally. The lubricant gets better as you move. Because it is water-based, you can clean it with ease after use. However, not many sex doll manufacturers provide you with this option.
The lubricant-free option will last approximately 50-100 uses before the lubricant-free lining will fade and you will have to start using regular lubricant.
- Solid, Hollow, or Gel Breasts
One of the most popular customization options is choosing the breast type. Let's discuss them in detail:
Solid breasts - These kinds of breasts are made of either silicone or TPE. Solid breasts are perky and firm with decent bounce and softness.
Advantages
- Best choice for people who don't fixate on breasts because of durability
- Perky, soft, and realistic
- Doesn't include an additional cost for upgrades
Disadvantages
- Less bouncy and soft compared to other breast options
Hollow breasts - If you are a person who likes bouncy breasts, hollow breasts are the right option for you. They have air inside them rather than being filled with TPE or silicone or filled with gel.
Advantages
- They feel softer when squeezed
- Bouncy and squishy compared to solid breasts
- Reduces chances of tear because of lightweight structure
Disadvantages
- Tougher and less perky than gel breasts
Gel breasts - They are the best option if you seek realistic doll breasts. The gel implants give you the nearest feel of human fat. Squeezing them feels like an authentic touch.
Advantages
- Perky, bouncy, and firm
- Extremely squishy and soft
- The most preferred choice of many people
Disadvantages
- Usually will have an upgrade fee
- Less durable than the solid breasts option
- Penis Insert
Are you looking for a transexual doll? If yes, chances are that not many manufacturers produce them, and finding the right one might be challenging. However, don't worry, because you can experience the same with your female sex doll.
A penis insert is a great option that allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds. The base of the penis insert goes inside the vagina with ease. It is a popular product for gay & bisexual men, women, or couples who both want to enjoy the sex doll in different ways.
Most manufacturers offer this option, but have slight variations in size. If you want to know more about the size and girth of the product for a particular brand of sex doll, please contact us (average size of sex doll penis insert is 7 inches).
- Realistic Body Makeup
The very purpose of a sex doll is to re-create the realism of a real person. That way, manufacturers tend to include as many options as they can to make the experience better and outstanding. And, body makeup is another important sex doll option that you may want.
In general, body makeup involves hyper-realistic painting of simulated texture, shadows, and veins that you find normally in human skin. Sadly, realistic body makeup is not permanent like other makeups that you find in sex dolls. Therefore, clean your doll with a TPE-safe cleanser and avoid using any kind of stain removers. That way, the makeup will last for a long time.
On the other hand, some brands offer permanent make-up. If these options are bought together (ie. permanent make-up + realistic body make-up), then you will have a permanent option for the realistic make-up. This will however drive up the price of your sex doll.
- Articulated Fingers
Metal wire fingers on sex dolls are a thing of the past. If you are tired of metal wire fingers that make the doll's hands stiff, articulated fingers might be the right choice for you.
Other than adding strength to the doll's fingers, they can produce different types of gestures. It is a feature that was impossible with the old-fashioned fingers. Articulated fingers are an innovative addition for sex doll enthusiasts.
The main difference between regular (metal-wire) fingers and articulated fingers is the realism of the movement, added durability, and the ability to hold objects.
- Heating Technology (Self-Heating Sex Doll)
The idea behind heating technology in sex dolls is to bridge the gap between a real human and a doll. Self-heating sex dolls have is an important option for certain people and they have been around for some years as of now.
An intuitively designed heating mechanism works from inside the doll that warms it up. The doll's body has a port with a cable and you have to connect the other end of the cable to the power socket. It takes a few minutes for the doll to warm up at which point you can disconnect it from the socket and it will stay warm for a few hours.
Important Note: You should never leave a doll charging overnight. As it charges, the battery heats and so does the TPE which could melt the sex doll and create a fire hazard. Please only charge it for 20-30 minutes prior to engaging with the sex doll.
- Breathing Technology
What makes love dolls so popular is that they imitate what real people do when having intimate moments with their partners. Breathing technology in these dolls is another innovation that you may want to have in your sex doll.
The stimulated breathing increase intimacy and brings your doll to life. An implanted device creates the simulation inside the doll's chest cavity. As a result, it makes the doll's chest rise and fall. If you are looking for an intense sex session with your doll, having this feature is a boon.
The feature works with a small button that will turn on the breathing function. It can be turned off again with the button. To charge the sex doll, simply connect it using the charging port at the base of the neck.

- Lip Finish
Glossy vs. Matte Lips
As you know, sex dolls come with many additional cosmetic options so that you can get what you need. All cosmetic options are usually temporary as they fade with time unless you add the permanent make-up option.
Lip finish constitutes an integral part of any sex doll. A perfect lip finish improves the facial appearance and brings touch to the overall face. Having sex involves kissing and hugging. So, you want to make the choice that is right for you.
Therefore, look out for a glossy or matte lip finish in the options when selecting your sex doll to choose the best one for you. Alternatively, just select same as picture to have the same finish as the promotional images.
- Built-in Tongue
Some dolls feature detachable tongues whereas some others don't. In general, a removable tongue is compatible with almost every sex doll. But a built-in tongue in a doll carries benefits as well.
If you love blowjobs, having a built-in tongue is an option that you can't afford to miss. Furthermore, it improves kissing and adds realism to your photoshoots as well.
By default, sex dolls don't have a tongue inside they mouth, so if this is something important to you, make sure you select the built-in tongue option.

Soft silicone heads are softer to the touch and malleable. They allow oral sex but they cannot have implanted hair. These are perfect if you want to use the sex doll for nothing but sex.
Hard silicone heads are very stiff and fragile to blunt force. They have no oral ability but can have implanted hair. These are perfect for photographers or those who want a more realistic sex doll with implanted hair.

- Extra Sex Doll Head
There are benefits to having an extra head for your sex doll. Having an extra head can work wonders and can help change the overall appearance instantly. Heads are not permanently connected to your sex doll, depending on brand, they are interchangeable. This means you can have multiple different heads to use for a single body.
As such, you can remove them whenever you want. If you think you may want an extra sex doll head at some point, try to purchase one when you purchase your full-sized sex doll. This is because the extra cost is much cheaper than when you purchase a head individually.
