Silicone sex dolls are known for their durability and elasticity. It can withstand high temperatures and is not easily torn or damaged. Due to their non-porous nature, silicone sex dolls are easier to clean and disinfect. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water followed by thorough drying is usually sufficient.

Full size sex dolls made of TPE are not as durable as silicone and can tear easily, especially when handled roughly. It is also more sensitive to heat and may melt or deform if exposed to high temperatures. TPE requires more diligent maintenance. Frequent and thorough cleaning is necessary to prevent bacterial growth. In addition, TPE should be powdered regularly to maintain its texture and prevent it from becoming sticky.
