Replicas of sex dolls! How to Differentiate Between Original Dolls and Fake Replicas

The sex doll industry has evolved a lot lately to meet the emotional and sexual needs of sex doll lovers. If you’re a sex doll lover and haven’t been living under the rock for the last few years, you’d already know that there’re many replicas of sex dolls available in the market. The booming popularity of this billion-dollar industry has pushed many fake sellers to release their counterfeit products. With time, the scammers have become so sophisticated that it’s become difficult to discern between various replicas of sex dolls – especially if you’re a first-time buyer.

Keeping this in view, we will discuss some common replicas of sex dolls available on market and how can you differentiate between the original and fake products.

What is a Sex Doll Replica?

Given the fact that the sex doll industry is almost entirely an online affair having little to no human contact, it’s a business where scamming is rampant. Thousands of unverified sellers or scammers, equipped to the teeth, are using modern technology to rip you off really well. Here’re various sex doll replicas you can fall victim to.

Counterfeit Product: Generally, the seller uses the images of any renowned or popular brand and plainly copies them including the description without mentioning the brand name. These replica sex dolls are sold by unauthorized sellers who buy a genuine doll from a legitimate vendor and “replicate” its design in the local factory. Using the original doll’s photos, they lure customers into buying this counterfeit product.  

Inferior Quality Doll: As the name indicates, you get a low-quality doll at the price of a high-quality one. Either the TPE or Silicone material is worn out or expired or often, the sex doll material is changed altogether. These replicas look quite similar to the original, lifelike dolls, but are significantly poorer in quality with zero safety inspections and guarantees on production. Often, the material used is toxic or hazardous and may lead to skin diseases.   

Not as Advertised: The doll you receive doesn’t match the one you ordered. That is, the seller is not selling the product they’re advertising and using fake or edited photos to scam you. What’s worse is they are always ready to shut down the business when complaints pile up and then, open it with a new name. Sadly, we hear many people receiving rubber or blow-up dolls coated in Silicone or TPE material with poorly shaped love holes – now that kills the ultimate purpose of a sex doll.

Even though the naïve and gullible customers become the victims of fake sex doll replicas, every sex doll lover is vulnerable to getting scammed at some point.

Difference Between Original Dolls and Their Replicas

Gone are the days when a simple look at the doll would tell the product is fake. Now, the fake replicas come with extremely high grades or realistic looks and different price ranges. But we are here to help you out. Use the below variables to assess the difference between original and fake sex dolls.

1. Material: TPE or Silicone

First and foremost, read the description and check the material of the sex doll. It must be made of Silicone or TPE material as a sex doll manufactured from any other material that is not lifelike. Most scammers are aware of this fact and mention TPE or Silicone sex dolls on their fake websites.   

2. Unverified Seller

This is probably the most important step to differentiate between an original sex doll and a replica. Use the available details to assess whether or not the seller is legitimate. A Verified seller has developed a partnership with popular sex doll brands and manufacturers and sex doll forums and has vast experience in selling sex dolls.

One of the easiest ways to confirm it is by analyzing the website details and check if the seller has provided enough information to help you choose your favorite sex doll? Does the website look professional and easy to navigate?

Remember, just because you couldn’t find much information about the seller doesn’t mean they are unverified. Dig deeper and try to contact them. A verified vendor is easy to be contacted either via a call or live chat and is happy to answer all your questions and queries rather quickly.    

3. Ask about the Manufacturing Details

The doll should have a very clear and precise product description including its height, weight, breast and hips size, and other special features. It should also provide basic instructions on how to use and take care of your partner in between use. The description shouldn’t include generic or regular descriptions you find on unverified sites.

Additionally, a couple of basic questions that are not covered in the description of the sex doll will tell a lot about whether the product is real or a replica. The seller should readily answer your questions and provide more information on the sex doll you’re discussing. As a rule of thumb, the quickness, clarity, and willingness of the seller on the subject give you a hint on whether or not the product is original and should you buy it or not

Also ask, if they make and design the doll themselves or not and a couple of follow-up questions will help you evaluate the credibility accordingly.  

4. Price Range: Too good to be True

One of the most critical factors to avoid buying sex doll replicas is assessing their price range. The scammers often sell fake sex dolls at unjustified prices of at a fraction of the prices of the original, lifelike dolls. Sometimes, the price they offer is less than the wholesale price of an original doll. So, if the deal seems too good to be true then, think twice before making a purchase. It’s better to assess the practicality of the deal and whether the doll’s price is justifiable or not.

For example, you can never get a good-quality Silicone or TPE sex doll for anything less than $1500 at least. If someone is offering the same doll at $1000 or even less, question that and it’s wise not to buy the doll from that store. Many vendors lure customers using shady schemes like “20% off just for today” or “Only 1 day left to get 30% discount” etc. Don’t fall for that as no vendor can sell an original doll well below the wholesale price.

However, remember that many scammers do charge full price for their fake dolls to trap you into believing that they’re selling an authentic product, so this factor alone isn’t a 100% credible way to assess the authenticity of a sex doll.

5. Disparity Between Pictures and Description

Your sex doll should have a clear description that should match the photos provided by the seller. Often, the fake sellers use the same generic description for every sex doll they try to sell and also copy the photos of an authentic sex doll. Carefully read the description to check if the sex doll vendor has provided the same features and configurations for the product as most other retailers or not.

Also compare the description to the sex doll shown in the photos and match features like boobs size, hair and eye color, skin tone, wig style, and so on. If you find any clear disparity, it’s your wake-up call to say No and keep looking at other websites to find a perfect sex doll to grace your bedroom.  

6. Brand Name Not Displayed

Most unverified sellers don’t specify the name of the TPE of Silicone sex dolls they’re selling. While this factor may not be enough to verify the authenticity of the doll and the vendor, it still gives you an idea about the possible loopholes that fake sex doll sellers are so fond of.

If someone displays a popular brand name they are affiliated with, then use Google to contact that particular brand and confirm if they are working with that vendor. With just a little effort at the outset, you’ll be saved from a lot of trouble or getting scammed down the road.

7. Reviews are Not Authentic

The sex doll industry is almost entirely an online affair and so the importance of customer feedback and online reviews becomes more important than ever. Lately, many scammers have started posting fake reviews on their sites to deceit the customers into believing that they’re buying a legit sex doll. Such reviews often contain generic words written in an unnatural way and most often than not, the English are poor that it raises questions.   

Similarly, if you find the reviews on a particular site but couldn’t find anything about that particular seller or platform anywhere else. It is a sign of a scam site and merits a big No from your side. An original sex doll costs thousands of dollars, so we recommend sex doll buyers to search for the site from where you’re about to buy a doll, on various sex doll forums. Proceed with the purchase if you find sufficient proof of its authenticity.

8. Incomplete Information is Provided

Even though most scammers use renowned global marketplaces like Amazon and Ali Express to strip sex doll lovers off, these are not the only platforms where the dodgy sex doll vendors operate. They can very well build a basic website and start selling sex doll replicas. However, they tend to do it hastily and provide incomplete or dodgy information about their services including the payment modes. The website doesn’t contain much content or pages available and even after trying your best, you cannot find much detail about how long they have been operating.

The reason is they don’t operate for a longer period and regularly change their platform and name of the store as the platforms they connect their website to like Stripe or PayPal, regularly shut them down when too many complaints or negative reviews of the customers pile up.

That’s why always verify the payment methods before making your purchase. The most credible payment methods are PayPal and Credit cards as they let you recover your money in case you’re being scammed. If the seller doesn’t offer either of these two gateway systems, it should leave you skeptical and you shouldn’t risk your money.   

9. If Production is less than 24 Hours

Another simple way to distinguish an original doll from a fake one is using the “Custom made” option. A verified seller or an authentic website will always give you the option to choose from “Same as photo” or “Custom made.” Choose the latter option just to evaluate the reliability of the vendor.     

An original sex doll needs a couple of weeks to be customized according to your sexual preferences and choice. A vendor selling a sex doll replica will agree to customize its features within a day or two – and you should raise your eyebrows. You can ask for a specific eye or hair color, breast or hip size, wig design, skin tone, etc., and check what the vendor says about the production time. Based on it, make your decision whether the sex doll is authentic or a replica.
