The Difference Between Inflatable Love Dolls And Full Sized Sex Dolls

Inflatable sex dolls and TPE/silicone sex dolls are both sex toys that belong at the high end of the adult sex doll industry.

Inflatable dolls are considered a type of semi-solid sex doll that is, as the name implies, inflatable and inversely deflatable dolls (making them easily compactable and hence easy to store away).

Let’s address the elephant in the room, the obvious difference between inflatable adult dolls and life size sex dolls is, in the literal sense, inflatable sex dolls are internally “empty”, as they require the use of air to be inflated to take the shape of a woman. Whereas, on the other hand, life size sex dolls are made of, most commonly, solid TPE or silicone with an internal “skeleton” for placing her into different positions.

Note, there are, of course, male sex dolls too, but for the purposes of this article, I am going to focus only on female sex dolls.

What are these sex dolls used for? Both are used for essentially the same thing. The main use of a sex doll is as a sexual masturbation device, which helps to satisfy your physiological and sexual needs in the absence of sexual partners.

As mentioned above, sex dolls fall into three main categories:

1) Inflatable dolls

2) Semi-solid dolls, and

3) Full sized solid TPE/silicone sex dolls.

When people refer to sex dolls they are, in most cases, referring to either inflatable sex dolls or full sized sex dolls.

Let's take a look at the cheapest and most often used sex doll, the inflatable sex doll, also known as the blow up doll.

As the name suggests, an inflatable sex doll is a kind of inflatable sex toy.

Inflatable dolls require being blown up with air to form and take the shape of a real woman.

The aesthetics of an inflatable doll often looks extremely artificial and nothing like a real person. As the sex doll is filled with air the doll really only has one position as the doll cannot be bent into different positions without reverting back to its initial position.

Generally, the texture or feel of an inflatable sex doll is not that great. The vagina is, more often than not, just a tight tubular opening.

On the other hand, inflatable sex dolls are very compact and can be easily stored away with little to no effort.

An inflatable sex doll is also a super low budget option for you to dip your toes into the pool of sex dolls.

Being lightweight, inflatable sex dolls are ideal for first-timers and those unable to support the weight of a full-body silicone doll. The weight also makes blow-up dolls suitable for those who travel frequently. Simply deflate it and tuck it in your suitcase.

All in all, blow up dolls are a great starting point for your love doll journey, but they are just that, a starting point.

Blow up dolls have come a long way and are a decent alternative to silicone, realistic sex dolls. While the difference in realism is immeasurable, these affordable sex dolls allow you to have a taste of the sex doll experience before you decide to invest in high-end silicone dolls.

For many, the inflatable sex doll was their start in the wonderful world of sex dolls.
