[center]DISCOVER THE BEST SKELETON JOINT SEX DOLL GUIDE HERE[/center]

Understanding The Joint Types In A Sex Doll Skeleton, Explained
The skeleton, her internal framework, is what determines practically everything about how she functions. From possible poses to how well she holds them, her lifespan and the effort involved in moving her, it decides the lot. Barely any purchasers spare a reflection for the skeleton until something goes mistaken, and that's a slip-up, since it is the single most crucial piece of hardware in the complete doll. The cost of the incorrect choice can be hundreds in repairs or a whole doll replaced before its time.

Where Standard Skeletons Fall Short
There are two chief kinds of skeleton, and it matters enormously which one you pick. Standard skeletons are the basic ones in most budget dolls, built from bolt joints connected by a wireframe. A standard skeleton usually does the job for a petite or skinny doll under 35kg, and it copes fine with lighter dolls and basic posing. Add 40kg of weight, particularly extra chest weight, and the joints will loosen quick, with no tightening back up once they have.

How Advanced Skeletons Keep Poses Without Sagging
Handling far more weight is what the upgrade, the advanced or yoga skeleton, does with its stainless steel locking joints. She'll hold poses for hours without sagging, whether sitting up, leaning forward or standing with her weight shifted, since the joints click into place and stay. Constructed with heavier dolls in mind, the yoga skeleton isn't optional on BBW, sizable boobs, big booty and hefty curvy models; it's mandatory. The yoga skeleton is necessary for anything over 35kg, and there's no getting around it.

Teeth vs Resistance: How Each Joint Holds a Pose
Skeleton type isn't any more important than joint type, and plenty of buyers get caught out here. The yoga skeleton uses two kinds of joints. Ratchet joints, also known as clicking locks, have teeth that engage as you move the joint and hold it firmly in place. Tightened screws, or friction joints, hold a position through resistance and gradually loosen over time. Ratchet joints are superior in almost every way, because they hold their position reliably and last far longer.

Why Friction Joints Are a False Economy
Friction joints are cheaper and simpler to manufacture, which is why they appear in budget dolls, but they're a false economy. Over time the friction wears down, the joint can't grip, and the doll sags. Expect visibly looser friction joints within a year or two of regular use, with no effortless way to renew them. Years without noticeable degradation is what ratchet joints can manage, and the cost difference is relatively small.

Red Flag: A Seller Who Can't Answer Joint Questions
You should always ask about the joints that take the most strain, the hip, knee and shoulder, before ordering. On a heavier doll these joints bear most of the weight during posing; a loose hip joint makes standing impossible and a loose shoulder joint makes it impossible to pose her arms. Walk away from any manufacturer unable to say what type of joints sit in these precise positions; it's a red flag.

Preventing Metal From Deforming Under Load
You also need to think about joint reinforcement, which has nothing to do with joint type. In a reinforced joint there is additional material around the pivot point, stopping the metal from deforming under load. Under extreme weight a ratchet joint with no reinforcement can still fail, so on heavier dolls reinforcement matters as much as the joint type. Press the retailer on the hips, knees and shoulders: are they reinforced? Anything vague should be rejected.

Do You Need an Articulated Spine?
A further part of the skeleton that deserves attention is the spine. Basic movement is all a more rigid spine permits, whereas some dolls have a thoroughly articulated spine that allows twisting and bending. An articulated spine is a substantial upgrade for photography and posing, giving much more natural postures. A rigid spine will do for basic use but limits the doll's expressiveness, so steady photographers should pay the extra for the articulated alternative.

Why a Rigid Neck Looks Stiff in Photos
Getting the least attention of all is the neck joint, the final piece of the puzzle. A thoroughly articulated neck adds hugely to the doll's expressiveness by allowing the head to tilt, turn and nod. The range of natural expressions is minimised and the doll looks stiff in photos if a rigid neck locks the head in one position. You'll notice the difference in use even if it's subtle in specs, so ask about it before ordering.

Anchoring and Long-Term Functionality
Something else worth asking, which most purchasers never do, is how the skeleton is anchored in the body. Over time on cheaper dolls the internal mounting points holding the skeleton can come loose or shift, and then the skeleton moves around inside the material. The mounting points are reinforced on better-built dolls, and the skeleton stays firmly anchored as a result. Look hardest at the shoulders and hips, since stress is concentrated there and a loose mounting point means the doll's functionality has begun to fail for good.

Why Skeleton Replacement Basically Means Rebuilding the Doll
The single most key thing to grasp is that the skeleton isn't just a support structure. Everything the doll can do is founded on it, and it's the one component that can't be easily upgraded after purchase. Upgrade the storage, change the wig, swap the hands or replace the eyes if you like, but the skeleton can only be replaced by taking the doll apart and essentially rebuilding her, which most owners never do. Pay for the best skeleton you can afford, as every single time you pose her it's the upgrade that pays off.

Does a Lighter Doll Need the Upgrade?
For heavier dolls, the yoga skeleton is mandatory, and skipping it is a false economy. Whether the doll functions for years or fails within months is determined by the yoga skeleton, so the extra few hundred pounds is the best money you'll spend on the entire purchase. You can typically get away with the standard skeleton on a lighter doll, but consider the yoga skeleton if you plan to pose regularly or photograph her. Over 35kg, or for hefty use, the yoga skeleton is the right choice for any doll.

Standard Can Mean Either One
Next to the skeleton itself, joint type is the most significant decision. For a small difference in cost, ratchet joints hold positions better and last far longer than friction joints. Whenever you're acquiring, ask the retailer which type the doll has, and remember that "standard" can mean either one. Take it as a warning sign if the retailer can't tell you, and buy from someone who can.

Reinforcement Is Essential Above 35kg
Third comes reinforcement, a question that slips most buyers' minds. Reinforced joints are stronger and last longer, and they hold their position better under weighty loads. Over 35kg, or with a large bust, a doll needs reinforced joints; they're essential. No confirmation from the vendor means assuming it's not there and planning accordingly.

Photography Changes the Skeleton Decision
The spine and neck are the fourth and fifth considerations, and they matter more for photography than for basic use. If you want her to look natural in varied poses, or plan to photograph your doll regularly, pay the additional for an articulated spine and neck. Rigid versions suit basic use if you don't plan to pose her much, and the money saved can go elsewhere.

The Question You Forgot to Ask
How the doll functions comes down entirely to the skeleton, the part most customers ignore until something goes incorrect. If you get it right the doll will feel natural and poseable for years. Get this wrong and it unravels gradually: the joints loosen, the limbs sag, and eventually the doll can't hold any position at all. What divides a solid purchase from a bad one is frequently a question left unasked, and the first question to ask is the skeleton.

The Best Investment You Can Make in Durability
On arrival, spend time breaking in the joints before trying any ambitious posing; that's one final useful point. The factory leaves the joints tight, so work them in gently, since forcing them will damage them. Soften the TPE at each joint with a hairdryer on a warm setting, and once it gives, sweep each joint through everything it can do, several times over. An hour is all it takes, and it's the single best investment in long-term durability, since the joints loosen evenly and individual points aren't stressed.

Invisible but Essential
Though nobody ever sees it, the skeleton is what makes the doll move, hold a pose, and stay steady. Spend as much as you can on the skeleton, find out its joint type and reinforcement before ordering, and break it in carefully when it comes. Negotiable is everything else about the doll; the skeleton is forever.

Sex Dolls: The Factory Photo Vs Reality Gap And How To Plan For It
The doll you see in the studio photos is not a different doll from the one that arrives at your door; that's the truth bomb. Lighting, angles and Photoshop are what change, and they make her look like someone else completely. Most disappointment in doll ownership starts here, which is why it's worth understanding before you spend money. Regret among buyers generally starts in the space between what they expect and what they get. It isn't dishonest, as producers are merely doing what every advertiser does, but a first-time buyer feels the same effect either way.

Fair Enough, but Don't Take It at Face Value
Manufacturers shoot their dolls in professional studios, using softboxes and tightly controlled lighting, with skilled photographers who know precisely how to flatter them. Their toolkit is flattering angles, professional styling and a bit of Photoshop, all to silky out imperfections and enhance the features that sell. The doll is shown at her absolute best in the resulting photo, which is fair enough given what advertising does across every industry. Where it goes wrong is buyers taking the photos at face value and expecting the same look in their bedroom, an expectation that's almost never met.

Why the Doll Looks Different at Home
A professional studio is not what your bedroom is. Lighting at home is harsher, angles are less flattering, and the doll is merely standing there, not posed to improve her proportions. It can be honestly jarring when a doll that looked gorgeous under softbox lighting turns out lumpy, uneven or less defined under your LED ceiling light. A terrible doll isn't what you're looking at, simply ideal photo conditions that your home can't match. Between professional photography and a Tuesday night in your living room sits the gap.

Skin Tone Looks Different in Daylight and LEDs
Especially susceptible to the gap is skin tone. There's a risk of pale skin looking washed out, ghostly or even blue under warm indoor bulbs, though it looks striking in studio lighting. Darker skin looks rich and warm in photos but can appear ashy or flat under the incorrect light. The most forgiving of all is medium skin, which is why customers unsure about their lighting setup often find it the safest choice. Daylight, warm bulbs, cool LEDs and the mixed lighting of a typical living room can each make the same skin tone look entirely distinct.

Why Mixed Lighting Is the Hardest
There are ways lighting impacts skin tone perception that most purchasers don't anticipate. Honest is the word for sunlight, which renders colours accurately and shows detail without exaggeration. Yellow or orange is where warm indoor bulbs push skin tones, which can leave pale skin looking sallow and medium skin looking richer. Skin tones get pushed towards blue or grey by cool LEDs, making pale skin look corpse-like and darker skin flat. With mixed lighting, colour is variable across the doll's body, and no amount of adjustment can fix that; it's the most hard. Take a sheet of plain white paper, wander around the room, and check what colour it takes on; that tells you what kind of lighting you've got. That colour is what you'll see on your doll's skin as well.

Proportions Are the Clearest Tell
Anime, fantasy and stylized dolls suffer from this gap more than most. Features that were exaggerated for 2D animation look incredible there, yet in 3D reality they risk looking strange or unbalanced; sculpting must blend the anime aesthetic with the realities of a physical doll. While making a workable, realistic-looking doll, a good maker captures the essence of the character. The wrong proportions, the uncanny face, the cartoon-character look: a poor manufacturer delivers all three and the ideal-condition photos hide them. Usually, the proportional relationship of eyes, face shape and head size is the thing that gives the game away.

Clothes That Don't Hang the Way You Expected
Clothing is another place where photos and reality part company. Fitted professionally, pressed freshly and styled to flatter the doll's proportions are the clothes in maker photos. At home the same clothes might not fit as well, might not hang as nicely, and might not match the aesthetic you were expecting. Don't rely on the clothes that come in the box; experienced customers set aside money for a fair wardrobe, since stock clothing is usually only a starting point and the styled look in photos takes real styling to reproduce.

The Makeup Gap
Makeup is the third gap. Decent photos are what factory makeup is designed for, applied as it is by skilled artists under controlled conditions. Back at home, expect the makeup to seem heavier, more saturated, or less natural than you imagined from the photos. Striking in photos, overwhelming in person: that's especially true of dolls with bold makeup. If in doubt, natural makeup is the safer bet; it looks good in pictures and in real-world settings. Before ordering a doll with substantial glam makeup that you're drawn to, ask for real photos, since there's a significant difference between studio glam and living room glam.

The Fourth Gap: Eye and Hair
Fourth among the gaps is the eye and hair factor. A factory wig is regularly brand new, perfectly styled and shot under ideal lighting. Don't be surprised if the wig is less full, more synthetic or somewhat different in colour in individual. Eyes can look more artificial or less expressive depending on the light, and what looked like an ideal wig and eye match in photos can appear marginally off once she's in front of you. Skipping generic manufacturer images, seasoned buyers ask for real photos of the particular doll prior to ordering; the user photo market has become critical to buyers wanting to know what they're getting for the same reason.

Curvy, BBW and Big-Booty Dolls: Photos vs Reality
One more area where photos can mislead is the doll's proportions. Waist-to-hip ratio improved, curves exaggerated, belly lessened: that's what particular studio poses are regularly there to achieve. Real-life standing posture, straight with arms at her sides, doesn't look like the photographed doll, particularly for curvy, BBW and big-booty dolls. The proportions are real, but the way they read in photos is often more flattering than the way they read in genuine life, and that's a difference worth knowing about before you purchase.

Spend an Hour or Two Looking Before You Commit
The answer's straightforward: look for user-submitted photos before you part with your money. Customers' own photos show the doll in real-world conditions and in the lighting people have at home, which makes them the only reliable way to judge what you'll get. Dolls that look good in user photos, not studio shots, deserve your attention, and you'll find those photos on forums, Reddit and review sections. It's worth carving out an hour or two to study genuine photos before committing, because the user photo community is a goldmine for anyone purchasing a doll.

Front-Facing Photos Hide a Lot
Side profile first when looking at user photos, since the proportions are most apparent there. Your best view of how honest a doll's shape genuinely is comes from the side, since the waist-to-hip ratio, butt projection, belly curve and silhouette all change compared with the front. A lot can be hidden by front-facing photos, but not by side photos, and dolls that look great in side photos look good in reality. This matters most for curvy and big-booty dolls, in which the side profile is the full point of the aesthetic.

Imperfections Aren't Always Dealbreakers
Pay attention to the skin texture, too. Smoothing out imperfections is what studio photos do, whereas user photos show them. Promotional shots don't show the apparent texture, mold lines or slight colour variations some dolls have, and those imperfections are worth knowing about before you spend money. Worth seeing, even if not all are dealbreakers, are the imperfections, because your doll will have them and you'll have to live with them. Small texture is much easier to enjoy on a doll when you knew about it beforehand than when it surprised you.

Lighting Variety Tells You a Lot
Pay attention to how the doll looks in different lighting conditions, too. How she'll look in your home is something you can learn a lot about by comparing the same doll across the daylight, artificial and mixed lighting photos some purchasers post. A doll that looks good in every lighting condition is a decent sign, and a doll that only looks good in one particular setup is a warning. Genuine homes, not professional setups, are the conditions that count, so look for photos taken in common rooms.

Reviews Are the Tell
What matters more is that the factory photo gap isn't a scam; it's advertising, nothing more. This occurs in every industry, from rapid food to fashion; your only defence is to look at real-world photos before you buy. Because they know this, the best producers post user photos and encourage reviews. Hiding their reviews and showing only studio shots is what the worst ones do, and it's a red flag worth paying attention to. Pleased to let buyers see what the doll looks like in real life is a manufacturer self-assured in their product, since they know the doll will hold up.

A Seller Who Refuses Is Hiding Something
Genuine photos of the very doll you're ordering, not generic promotional shots: seek out retailers who supply them if you're new to doll ownership. Many sellers will send photos of the actual doll before shipping, and this is worth asking for, because it eliminates the gap completely. Should the retailer refuse, it's a sign they're concealing something, and you'd do better to look elsewhere. Glad purchase or irritating one: it's frequently down to whether the vendor provides genuine photos.

Expect Good, Not Perfect
Most buyer disappointment comes from the gap between aspirational factory photos and a more modest reality, which is the bottom line. Look at user photos, look hard at the details, and aim for a doll who looks good, not perfect. Your home will treat a doll the way real-world photos do, so pick the one that looks good there and be wary of one that only looks solid in studio shots. Put your faith in the user photos and you'll be fine.

A First-Timer's Guide To Using A Sex Doll Properly And Safely
So you've bought your first doll, or you're just about to. Either way, there's a flash of slight panic when you unbox a 35 kg silicone human, stand there in your living room, and think: now what? The answer to that question is this guide. You will not find filler or presumptions that you already know here, just hands-on pointers on what you will truly need in your first week and how to steer evident of costly missteps in your first month. Go through it once before she arrives and once again after she's here, seeing as the repeat read will make significantly more sense and you will notice things you missed the first time.

Once she's out of the package, moving her around becomes much harder, so a handful of jobs are worth doing before the package is even open. "Somewhere in the bedroom" isn't an answer, so pick a real place: a cabinet, a corner, or a carry case. Dolls are weighty and cumbersome, and you do not wish to be improvising storage at 11 at night with a bare doll in your arms. Clear the space she'll rest on, be it a bed, floor, or carry case, and examine it is clean and free of anything that could transfer dye, as dark-toned blankets, poorly dyed fabrics, and anything that might lose colour are a risk. Carpet needs something smooth under her. If you've got a low bed, inspect that it is not going to sag under her weight in time.

Have your supplies ready before she arrives:
1. Cornflour or baby powder (for TPE dolls)
2. A hairdryer (for freeing up joints)
3. A spotless, pale cloth (for the dye test)
4. A coarse-toothed wig comb (not a regular hairbrush)
5. Drying rods (for the cavities)
6. Mineral oil made for TPE (where it applies)
7. A soft make-up brush (for powdering)

None of this costs much, but all of it matters. For maybe about £20 you get the whole kit, and that is the variation among a doll that stays in great condition and one that does not. Open the box with care in place of tearing into it, and if the box is damaged, image it before you open it, since that is your only safeguard for a guarantee claim. A quick inspection comes next: check for splits in the armpits and groin, be sure all fingers are in one piece, and verify the head sculpt matches what you bought. Speak to the retailer before you do anything else if something's wrong, and image it straight away, as a claim gets much harder once the doll has been used or repositioned.

After that comes the component that takes virtually every new buyer off guard: she will feel inflexible. The joints are tight from the factory, which is entirely standard and does not mean any part is broken. The joints need loosening before you can pose her, and the technique is straightforward. Use a hair dryer on a medium setting, not hot, to soften the TPE at every joint, next slowly move each joint through its entire range of motion, working through the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. If a joint will not move, warm it more, and never force anything. Set aside an entire hour for this. It seems excessive, but it is what separates a doll you will in fact pose from one that ends up stuck in a single position seeing as you gave up.

Everyone is surprised by how weighty she is compared with how she looks. 35 kg does not sound especially weighty right until you lift her from a low position and the weight is concentrated in the wrong places, so stick to good lifting technique: squat down and lift with your legs as opposed to your back. Keep her close to your body by grabbing under the armpits and hugging her where possible, as the closer she is to your centre of balance, the less pressure you will feel. TPE and silicone both hold heat pretty well, so she's warmer than you anticipate, and the first time you contact her carefully she'll feel less plastic than you probably expected. The chief reason people say their dolls feel alive isn't movement or AI, it is that the material truly responds to touch in a manner that takes you by surprise.

Regular powdering is a must, as TPE gets sticky with time, especially in high temperatures or after cleansing, and a fine dusting of cornstarch or baby powder applied with a soft powder brush holds the skin smooth and free of dust, so do it after each cleansing session. TPE sheds oil in time and needs replenishment, so oil her periodically: a light coat of mineral oil made specifically for TPE dolls every three months or so holds the cloth soft and prevents drying out, but don't use too much, as too much oil makes the exterior oily and picks up dust faster than dehydrated skin does.

Believe of cleansing as a regime, not a one-off. After use:
1. Pull out any inserts and wash them on their own
2. Wash the openings with warm water and mild soap
3. Dry everything well with drying supports (between 15 and 20 minutes)
4. Powder the exterior with cornstarch or baby powder
5. Put her away sensibly

This aspect isn't optional: skip it and mould will be building up inside her in as little as a few weeks. At close to 45 minutes the entire procedure takes longer than most buyers anticipate, which is the primary reason seasoned owners switch to detachable inserts, which cut that time just about in half.

The most common blunder novice owners make is not thinking about storage until it is a difficulty. Most seasoned owners hang their dolls, using a heavy-duty overhead hook rated for at least 60 kg with a dedicated loop, which maintains her in the same position without putting load on the joints. Storing her lying down works too, but be careful: even surfaces are fine and uneven ones aren't, and leaving her on her back for a long time can squash her buttocks or breasts, so change the position now and then. Keep her out of bright sunlight at all times, because UV damages both TPE and silicone and bleaches wigs and coloured parts fast, which makes a cabinet or a covered storage container ideal.

Most of the countless opinions the internet has about owning a doll are false or overstated. Yes, she's weighty and her joints need maintenance, but you shouldn't feel you have to be "careful" in the sense of treating her like porcelain, seeing as she's designed to be used and she's not made of glass. There's no need to be self-conscious: millions of folk own sex dolls, the industry has grown dramatically in the past decade, and the taboo has faded quickly, so owning one is a personal decision and not something wrong with you.

Treating her like a person isn't a requirement either. Plenty of owners build intricate characters and personalities for their dolls, which is great and aspect of the appeal for many people, but it is optional, and wanting a doll for sexual satisfaction and companionship without the roleplay is a totally valid way to use one. The real-world side is the only thing you genuinely need to get right, as everything else is personal taste and no one else gets a say on how you use something you own.

My regime, for whatever it is worth, is basic, and every owner develops their own. Limber up the joints ahead of every session, not the entire hour from the first time but just five minutes or so to verify nothing is inflexible, and powder after each clean every time. Examine the cloth check on any new outfits even if you've used the same brand before, keep an extra wig within reach seeing as synthetic material takes longer to dry off than you'd anticipate and you do not would like to be waiting, and put away her correctly every time. Nothing here is complex, it is simply the regime that maintains your doll in top condition for many years in place of months.

Month one teaches you much of what you have to know, and early errors tend to be inexpensive ones when you're careful. The things that go wrong later are the costly ones, and they practically always originate in something skipped in the early weeks. A joint eased too aggressively, a cloth tested on the doll in place of a cloth, a storage method that looked fine until the pressure pressed down into it. Slow down at the start and the rest takes attention of itself.

You'll also need to know what to do when something eventually goes wrong, seeing as it will. Maybe a tear in the armpit, a loose joint, or a dye mark that will not come out. The instinct is to panic and assume the doll is done for, but virtually everything short of a broken frame is fixable if you deal with it early. Mending kits for TPE cost virtually nothing and deal with tiny rips. You can tighten or replace loose joints. Dye marks will not come out, and that is why the dye test matters so much. Find out which issues are fixable and stop fretting over the ones that aren't.

A doll is a big purchase that deserves proper handling, but "serious" does not mean "difficult." Limber up the joints, powder her routinely, put away her sensibly, and you will get years out of her, but skip those things and you will be replacing her considerably sooner than you expected. After a tough first week, it becomes routine.

[center]VIEW THE BEST SEX DOLL MOVEMENT ADVICE HERE[/center]


Doll Posing And Movement Range Explained: How Far Can She Go?
Lasting for years or being damaged within months comes down to understanding the physical limits that every doll has. Joints are designed to move in certain directions and certain ranges; pushing past those ranges causes more avoidable damage than anything else. Covering the safe range for each substantial joint, this guide also gives the functional method for posing without causing damage.

Head and Neck: Up to 45 Degrees
The head and neck ordinarily rotate up to 45 degrees in every direction, whether forward, backward, left or right. Blame the metal connector inside the neck for the limit; it's designed to permit natural movement without putting excessive strain on the joint. Risking damage to the neck joint or torn material is what you do by pushing past 45 degrees, particularly on substantial dolls where the weight of the head puts additional stress on the connection. If it won't go further, don't force it; just move the head gently.

Shoulders and Upper Arms: 60 Forward, 10 Back
A typical shoulder and upper arm can move up to 60 degrees forward and 10 degrees backward. Forward movement is more generous because arms naturally move that way during everyday activities, and backward movement is limited because the shoulder joint isn't designed for extreme backward motion. Beyond 60 degrees, raising the arms risks straining the armpit seam, one of the most vulnerable regions of the doll; beyond 10 degrees backward, you risk damaging the shoulder joint.

Safeguarding the Material Around the Wrist
The lower arms and wrists are capable of bending but not of rotating. The elbow can flex, and the wrist can flex and extend, but the wrist can't twist a full turn. The material around the joint, and the joint itself, will be damaged by trying to rotate the wrist beyond its natural range. Position the hands by bending the wrist rather than twisting it, and for posing purposes, think of the wrists as limited to bending, not rotating.

40 Degrees Each Way, 20 Combined
While the waist can generally bend and twist up to 40 degrees in each direction, the combined range is more limited, ordinarily around 20 degrees. Simultaneous bending and twisting puts the material around the waist under more stress, and the waist joint has less flexibility when it's doing two things at once. Posing means doing one movement at a time rather than combining them, with particular care for substantial dolls, where the waist joint bears important weight.

A Few Hours at a Time at Most
The typical thigh range is up to 120 degrees forward, which allows for sitting, kneeling and a wide range of other poses. But wide-open or folded positions held for extended spans put strain on the hip joints and can cause the material to stretch or sag. Keep any apart or folded leg position to a few hours at a time, and vary the position frequently. With weighty dolls, take particular care of the hip joints, since they bear most of the doll's weight during posing.

Knee Range Explained
The lower legs ordinarily bend up to 150 degrees, but the recommended range for most poses is 100 degrees. The same limitation as a genuine joint applies, in that the knees don't fold forward, and pushing them forward past their natural range will damage the joint and the material. Standing or walking puts the knee joint under constant strain, making it one of the most vulnerable joints on the doll, so be especially cautious with it.

Posing Technique Matters as Much as Range
The range itself is no more essential than the posing method. A hairdryer on a warm setting softens the material around each joint, so invariably warm the joints before posing. Slowly and gently does it for moving the joints, and nothing should be forced. If a joint won't move, the cause is either inadequate warming or reaching its limit, and in both cases the answer is to stop rather than to push harder. The doll is designed to move in certain ways; respecting those ways keeps her functional for years.

Hips, Knees and Shoulders Take More Strain
How substantial the doll is influences the safe range. A substantial doll strains the joints more, especially the hips, knees, and shoulders, and so the safe range is slightly smaller. With a 45kg doll the joints are under more load and the material is more stressed, so pose it with more care than a 25kg doll. If you're not sure whether a pose is safe, err on the side of caution and lessen the range slightly.

Don't Force Anything, Whatever the Material
Safe range is affected by the material too. TPE gives more: it's softer and more adaptable than silicone, so it can be stretched somewhat more without damage, yet it's more prone to sagging and stretching over time. It's less forgiving of extreme poses because it doesn't stretch as much, but silicone is firmer and holds its shape better. Posing a TPE doll in a slightly wider range than a silicone doll of the same weight is possible, but the difference is small, and the general rule of "don't force anything" applies equally to both.

Inspiration, Not Instruction
The factory photos are worth mentioning here, because they're regularly misleading. The positions in factory photos often aren't safe to hold for extended periods; professionals who know the safe range, and have warmed the joints thoroughly, do the posing. The joints would be damaged if a dramatic studio pose were held for hours, and customers who try to recreate those poses at home frequently cause damage without recognising it. Look to the factory photos for inspiration, never as a guide to what's safe.

Flat Spots and Joint Issues
A pose can only be held so long before damage occurs, so how long is that? The joints can hold a pose for hours, not days, by design, and extended spans in a single position put strain on the joints and the material. Weeks on display means a new pose every few days, to share the stress out. Same rule in storage: months in one position can give a doll flat spots or joint issues that wouldn't happen if the position were varied.

Cold Storage and Posing
The temperature of the room matters for posing too. Stiffer and more prone to damage is a doll in a cold room, whereas a doll in a warm room is more pliable and easier to pose. If you're posing a doll in winter, warm the joints more fully and take extra care, because the material is less forgiving in cold conditions. Coming up to room temperature is a must before safe posing if the doll has been stored in a cold space, and the same applies here.

Safe Poses Make the Best Photos
Because it's where customers cause the most damage without recognising it, the photography angle is worth expanding on. Photographers are tempted to push the joints into more dramatic poses for a better composition, and those poses often fall outside the safe range. Held for more than a few seconds, the position of a doll who looks striking in a photo with her arm raised above her head might damage the shoulder joint. Take the shot in the extreme pose, return the doll to a neutral position straight after, and don't leave her in a dramatic pose for hours. The best photos regularly come from poses that are safe, because the doll looks natural rather than forced.

Weight and the Force You Can Apply
The weight of the doll is a factor in how much force you can apply during posing. Because the joints are under more strain and the material around the joints is more stressed on a hefty doll, you need to be more cautious. Still applying are the general principles on a light doll, where the joints are easier to move and less prone to damage. As the doll gets heavier, it becomes more key to warm the joints fully and to move slowly.

Dolls Posed With Care Stay Beautiful
Remember eventually that the safe range is a guide, not a target. Don't feel you need to push the doll to the maximum of every joint just because you can. The doll posed gently lasts longer and looks better than the one constantly pushed to its limits, and the most natural poses are typically well within the safe range. Posing is about creating a look, not about testing the doll's capabilities, and the dolls that are posed with care are the ones that stay workable and beautiful for the longest time.

Respect the Range, Keep the Doll Functional
The safe range is generous but not unlimited, and respecting it is what keeps the doll workable for years, which is the bottom line. The head, shoulders, wrists, waist, hips and knees each have a specific range, and damage that's regularly permanent follows from pushing past them. Warm the joints before posing, move slowly, don't force anything, and if you're not sure whether a pose is safe, err on the side of caution. Designed to move in certain ways, the doll can be enjoyed without being damaged if you grasp those ways. More info at this rosslink.

[center]DISCOVER THE BEST SEX DOLL MAINTENANCE ADVICE NOW[/center]

Do You Need Tpe Oiling And Powdering? When Your Doll Actually Does
Of everything in doll ownership, TPE maintenance is among the most misreported. One buyer oils weekly, the next never oils at all; the online advice goes from "oil every day" right through to "never oil, it ruins the material." Neither extreme is right; the truth is somewhere in the middle and depends on the doll, the climate, and how frequently she's used. This guide clears away the noise and explains when your doll actually needs oiling and powdering, the right way to do it, and what happens if you get it mistaken.

What Each Task Does for the Material
What oiling and powdering really do is the first thing to get straight. TPE is porous, and oil forms part of its composition. Over time that oil works its way out of the material, leaving the surface dry, stiff, and prone to cracking. Replacing the lost oil is what oiling does, and it keeps the material supple. Adding anything to the material itself isn't something powdering does. The TPE is stopped from becoming tacky by the powder sitting on the surface, which stops dust and lint from sticking to the doll. Necessary, both of them, though they serve distinct purposes and follow different schedules.

The First Few Months
Oiling is needed when the TPE starts to feel dry, stiff, or slightly rough to the touch. For the first few months on a new doll, oiling isn't needed, as the material is ordinarily well-oiled from the factory. Oiling becomes necessary once the doll has aged, the oil has migrated out, and the surface starts to feel less soft. Depending on the climate and the doll's usage, the frequency varies. Hot, dry climate: oiling might be needed every month. Where it's cool and humid, every three to six months. Frequent use brings more oiling, while a doll that's stored most of the time needs it less.

Reading the Surface
The signs that a doll needs oiling are quite clear once you know what to look for. The surface feels dry and marginally uneven rather than silky and supple. The material looks somewhat dull rather than a little glossy. Stiffer than normal is how the doll feels when you move her joints. When things are severe, small cracks or white lines appear on the surface; that signals serious dehydration and requires immediate oiling. When cracks appear, oil the doll immediately; if they don't enhance within a few days, consult a professional.

One Bottle Lasts Years
Which oil you use matters massively. Mineral oil specifically formulated for TPE dolls is what to use, rather than cooking oil, baby oil, or any other household oil. Rancid cooking oil inside the material creates a smell you can't remove. Fragrances and other additives make baby oil a risk, as they can damage the TPE. Cheap and simple to source from doll suppliers, mineral oil designed for TPE is the only safe alternative. With a bottle lasting for years, there's no reason to improvise.

Soft Cloth, Small Amount
As approaches go, oiling is simple. Put a small amount of oil on a supple cloth or a sponge, then rub it into the surface of the doll in circular motions. Don't pour oil directly onto the doll, because it pools in the crevices and produces a greasy mess. Do it in sections, beginning at the limbs and moving towards the torso, with particular attention to regions that feel dry or uneven. Once the oil has had fifteen to thirty minutes to absorb, wipe off any excess with a clean cloth. Greasy is wrong; the doll should feel flexible and marginally shiny subsequently.

Five Minutes That Matter
The times for powdering are after every cleaning session and any time the doll feels tacky. When the surface oils migrate to the top of the material, the result is tackiness, and powder absorbs those oils and creates a smooth, dry surface. Powdering stops the doll attracting dust and lint; without it, they stick to the tacky surface and are tough to remove. The single most critical routine maintenance task is powdering, and it takes about five minutes per session.

Fragrance and Sensitive Skin
The type of powder also matters. You can get cornstarch, the cheapest and most successful option, from any supermarket. Baby powder is a choice, but it costs more and regularly includes fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin. Talc-based powders should be evaded, since talc is a known irritant and has been linked to health issues. Cornstarch is safe, cheap, and works just as well as anything marketed specifically for dolls. One big tub lasts for months, at a cost of a couple of pounds.

How to Powder Properly
There's nothing complex about powdering method, but it needs to be done properly. Dust a small amount of powder, applied to a pliable makeup brush or a powder puff, over the complete surface of the doll. Powder is most needed in the crevices and folds, so work in sections and use the brush to get into them. Simple does it, because too much powder creates a visible white residue that's hard to remove. A light dusting is enough to keep the surface silky and non-tacky. Powdering done, use a clean cloth to wipe off any excess, and the doll should feel smooth and dry to the touch.

Order of Operations
The order and timing of oiling and powdering matter. Start with oil, follow with powder, and never reverse it. Oil has to be absorbed into the material; powder on top of it generates a paste that's tough to work with. Oil first, leave it for fifteen to thirty minutes to absorb, wipe off the excess, then powder, if you're doing both in the same session. With this, the oil penetrates properly and the powder sits on a clean surface.

Greasy Isn't Supple
You should know the signs that you're oiling too much. If she feels greasy instead of pliable, that's too much oil. Looking wet rather than somewhat glossy is a sign you've used too much oil. When the doll attracts dust more than usual, the oil hasn't been absorbed properly and the surface is still oily. Faster degradation of the material can follow from over-oiling clogging the pores of the TPE, which is why you should err on the side of less oil rather than more.

Signs You're Powdering Too Much
Knowing the signs that you're powdering too much is rewarding as well. The doll looking noticeably white or chalky shows you've used too much powder. If the surface is dry and stiff in spite of recent powdering, you've probably used too much and the powder is drawing moisture out of the material. The powder should be hardly visible once it's been applied and buffed; a light dusting is all that's needed.

The Correct Schedule
A typical myth says that TPE dolls need to be oiled and powdered every single day. Over-oiling clogs the material and over-powdering dries it out, so this is unnecessary and can actually be harmful. Correct scheduling means oiling every one to three months, depending on climate and use, and powdering after every cleaning session. And that's that. Overkill is everything else.

Winter Heating and Dry Air
Most buyers don't recognise how much the climate matters. Oil loss is faster for a doll in a hot, dry climate than for a doll in a cool, humid climate, which the oiling schedule needs to reflect. A dry environment is where a doll in a centrally heated home in winter is, even if the outside climate is humid, and the oiling schedule should account for that. Oiling when the surface feels dry, after checking it every few weeks, is the simplest approach, rather than following a fixed schedule.

Hands and Feet Are Prone to Drying
There's also the question of oiling precise zones. The rest of the body needs less oil than the joints and the areas around the joints, where the material is under more stress and the oil migrates faster. Hands and feet are prone to drying out as well, especially when they're regularly in contact with water or cleaning items. Concentrate on these zones during oiling sessions, and don't assume that a general oiling is enough for the whole doll's condition.

Regular Use Means Frequent Powder
The powdering schedule also needs to account for the doll's activity level. A doll that's mainly on display needs powdering less often than one that's used often and cleaned frequently. When you clean the doll after every use, you're also powdering after every use, which is the correct approach. Even when the doll isn't being used and you're not cleaning often, you still need to powder every few weeks to prevent dust buildup and to keep the surface smooth.

Storing a Doll for the Long Haul
The oiling schedule depends on storage as well. More slowly is how a doll that's stored in a closed case or a wardrobe loses oil compared with one exposed to air, because the enclosed environment is more stable. Oiling more regularly is needed by a doll that's stored in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as it loses oil much faster. Before storing a doll for an extended period, oil her thoroughly, and then check her every few months to see whether she needs more oil.

Basics Done Consistently
Simple, cheap, and necessary, oiling and powdering are also simple to overdo, which is the bottom line. Powder after every clean, oil when the doll feels dry, and ignore the advice that says you need to do either every day. Years of life come with minimal effort for a well-maintained TPE doll, and the buyers with the best results do the basics reliably instead of obsessing over every detail.

[center]DISCOVER THE BEST SEX DOLL FEET GUIDE NOW[/center]

Standing Feet Vs Non-Standing Feet Explained: Which Should You Choose
Standing feet are the sort of feature people ignore until they need them; after that, they find the difference gigantic. Small on the spec sheet, it still changes what you can do with the doll, how she stores, how she photographs, and even how she wears over time. Knowing the difference before you order is among the simplest ways to dodge an annoying purchase.

Attempting to Stand Her Will Damage the Feet
The difference comes down to something straightforward. The doll can stand upright without support because standing feet have metal bolts embedded in the soles. Non-standing feet lack these bolts, meaning the doll can only sit or lie down, with damage to the feet if you attempt to stand her. Everything else follows from whether the bolts are present or not, because the bolts are the key.

Corners, Doorways and Anywhere Upright
Photography and display are where standing feet are essential. Full-length poses without noticeable supports, and display anywhere that needs her to be upright, such as a corner or doorway, are open to a doll that can stand unaided. Poses and settings aren't possible with non-standing feet in the wide range that standing feet open up, which is the principal reason most photographers specify standing feet when ordering.

Showering and Standing Feet
Also critical is standing feet for shower use. For showering with your doll, standing ability is a requirement; lying her down in a shower is both impractical and risky. Her stability in a wet environment is down to the standing feet, and the metal bolts keep the feet from absorbing water the way non-standing feet would. The genuine safety consideration is that water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure.

Hidden Rust Inside the Leg
Because it's the source of a lot of damaged dolls, the shower use point is worth expanding. There's foam or filler material inside the ankle with non-standing feet, and it absorbs water when it gets wet. It then rusts the metal skeleton inside the leg, which takes weeks or months to show, and once it's started it's basically unfixable. Because the water will find its way in anyway of your precautions, a doll with non-standing feet should never be in the shower, no matter how attentive you are.

Standing Feet Make Storage Easier
There's also easier storage with standing feet in some setups. With standing feet she can be stored upright in a corner, a wardrobe or a storage cabinet, without the need for a hanging hook or a storage case. Space-efficient, this suits customers who don't have room for a hanging setup, and it's decent for customers who want to display the doll rather than keep her hidden. With the standing feet, the doll can be stored noticeably and accessibly, which some customers prefer.

The Disadvantage: Somewhat Pricier and Heavier
It's a drawback that standing feet are marginally more pricey and marginally heavier. Price-wise, a doll with standing feet is normally a few percent higher than one with non-standing feet; the metal bolts add a small quantity of weight and manufacturing is more involved. Though the difference is small and it's usually worth the additional cost, knowing about it matters if you're buying on an incredibly tight budget.

High Heels and Open-Toed Footwear
The second drawback is that bare feet can show the bolts. Some purchasers find it distracting that the bolts might be apparent in photos on a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear. This is a slight aesthetic issue, and it can be solved by covering the feet with closed shoes or by picking footwear that conceals the bolts, so it's not a reason to stay away from standing feet completely.

Savings for Articulated Hands or a Better Wig
Non-standing feet cost less and weigh less, and they suit buyers who only want to use the doll in bed and won't display her standing or shower with her. Most of her life in a bed or on a sofa means non-standing feet will be perfectly enough, and you can put the savings into other upgrades like articulated hands or a better wig. It's a totally valid choice if you know what you want.

Not Enough to Decide on Its Own
More comfortable to touch, for some purchasers, are non-standing feet, which are marginally softer and more elastic. A subtle difference, not generally enough to justify the choice on its own, this is still worth knowing about if you're specifically looking for maximum softness. Rather than feeling as if they have a hard core inside them, the feet on non-standing dolls feel more like the rest of the doll.

Foam in the Ankle Can't Take the Weight
Attempting to stand the doll regardless, after forgetting what kind of feet they have, is the big risk buyers run with non-standing feet. It's a typical error with real results, since the foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight and will tear or collapse. Permanently damaged feet are the cause of a doll that can no longer stand even if you attempt to support her. Don't be tempted to test their limits if you're buying non-standing feet; remember that they're non-standing.

Why Retrofitting Doesn't Work Well
There's also the question of whether standing feet can be retrofitted to a doll that doesn't have them. Not readily; that's the short answer. Adding the bolts afterwards requires cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is pricey and frequently doesn't work as well as the original, because they're embedded in the soles during manufacturing. Buy a doll with standing feet in the first place, rather than trying to add them later, if you're considering a doll without them and think you might want them later.

Selecting Between Standing and Non-Standing Feet
There's direct functional advice for customers picking between standing and non-standing feet. If any of photographing the doll, displaying her standing, or employing her in the shower is on the cards, you need standing feet. When you only want to use her in bed or on a sofa, and display doesn't matter to you, non-standing feet are perfectly adequate. If you're not sure, standing feet are the safer choice, because they don't limit what you can do with the doll and they're worth the small additional cost.

Room for Storage Is a Real Concern
Worth mentioning, too, is a gender consideration. Because they're heavier and more tough to store in any other way, male dolls ordinarily advantage from standing feet more than female dolls. Pressure on the body and more space are needed when a 45kg male doll that can't stand has to be stored lying down. Purchasers who don't have a lot of room get a genuine advantage from standing feet, which give male dolls the ability to store upright.

Industrial-Looking Soles on Delicate Dolls
The aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet deserves a final note. Evident when the doll is barefoot can be the small hardness at the bottom of standing feet, which the bolts cause. Some buyers don't find this aesthetically gratifying, especially on dolls with delicate features, since the hard soles look a little industrial. Softness and a natural look are what non-standing feet offer, and some purchasers prefer them. Photographing the doll barefoot is the only time this trade-off matters, and it's worth factoring into your decision if barefoot photos are a priority.

Maintenance: Check the Bolts Periodically
Another angle worth considering is maintenance. Keep an eye on the bolts in standing feet, since a loose bolt can damage the foot or the ankle while a bolt that falls out totally can make the doll collapse. Tighten the bolts with the appropriate tool if they feel loose when you check them every few months by gently twisting. In the long run non-standing feet are slightly lower-maintenance, since there's no hardware to come loose and so no such issue.

A Small Mat or Grippy Pad
Another effect of the bolts is on how the doll stands on distinct surfaces. Steady on carpet, the doll upsides from bolts that grip well. Bolts can slip on hard flooring, particularly a smooth floor, so the doll may need extra support to stay upright. Putting a small mat or a grippy pad under the feet is worth considering on a hard surface, as it prevents sliding. It only concerns standing feet: non-standing feet don't have the issue because the doll isn't standing in the first place, but displaying one on a hard floor makes it worth knowing about.

Ordinarily Invisible in Shoes
Frequently overlooked, there's a final consideration in how standing feet influence the doll's overall proportions. Adding a small quantity of length to the foot, the bolts can slightly change the way the doll looks in barefoot photos. The effect is subtle and ordinarily invisible in shoes, but it's worth knowing about if you're planning to photograph the doll barefoot and you care about precise proportions. This effect isn't present in non-standing feet, as they don't have the bolts, so the feet are a little shorter and more natural-looking.

Posing, Display, Storage and Shower Options
The bottom line is that most purchasers get their money's worth from standing feet, because they open up posing, display, storage and shower alternatives that non-standing feet don't. Only buyers certain that the doll will stay in bed, never displayed or photographed standing, should skip them. Everyone else is better off with standing feet, one of the simplest upgrades to justify.

[center]DISCOVER BEST SEX DOLL PRICING GUIDE NOW[/center]

Pricing Guide For Sex Dolls: What Affects The Cost Most
Expect sex doll prices from a few hundred pounds for basic models to several thousand for premium custom builds; the gap between the cheapest and the most expensive is gigantic. Knowing what drives the price gives you the difference between a fair price for a doll you'll love and overspending on features you don't need or underspending on quality you'll regret, which makes it one of the most helpful things any purchaser can learn. Informed decisions beat guessing, and this guide breaks down the factors that influence the cost to help you make one.

TPE for Budgets, Silicone for Durability
The base material is the single largest price driver. Usually by five hundred to a thousand pounds, TPE dolls are considerably cheaper than silicone dolls, as the material is cheaper and the manufacturing process is faster. You might pay eight hundred pounds for a basic TPE doll against fifteen hundred for a similar silicone doll. Silicone being inherently better isn't the reason for the gap; being harder to work with, needing more precise manufacturing and holding detail better all add cost. A budget points to TPE as the sensible entry point, and a wish for maximum durability and detail points to silicone as worth the premium.

Driver Two: Size and Body Type
The second biggest cost driver is size and body type. You pay more for taller dolls, since they use more material and need a larger skeleton. Curvier dolls cost more than slim dolls, for the same reason. BBW dolls use even more material, which makes them cost more than curvy dolls. Big boobs, big booty and other specialty body types cost more too, with more intricate sculpting and a larger material volume behind it. The difference is virtually totally material and labour, as a 150cm slim doll might cost eight hundred pounds while a 165cm BBW doll might cost eighteen hundred.

Worth It for Any Doll Over 35kg
Number three, the skeleton, is a driver that purchasers often underestimate. Cheaper is a standard skeleton with bolt joints; more costly, usually by two to four hundred pounds, is a yoga skeleton with stainless steel locking joints. Over 35kg, the yoga skeleton is worth the upgrade: the standard skeleton will fail under the weight, and replacing it costs much more than the upgrade would have. Lighter dolls normally do fine with the standard skeleton, and the savings can go towards other features.

The Thing You Look At Every Day
Number four is the head sculpt. A standard head is the cheaper option, while a custom head or premium sculpt costs more. Extra charges for specific head sculpts, especially the more detailed or popular ones, come from some makers, and the difference can be a few hundred pounds. You look at the head every day, and it's the most evident part of the doll, so it's worth paying for a sculpt you love. Saving money on a head you don't love is a false economy; you'll end up replacing it or buying a different doll entirely.

Standard Wigs Come Included
The hair is driver number five. Base price covers standard synthetic wigs only, with premium wigs, human hair wigs, or lace-front wigs costing extra. Fifty to three hundred pounds can be the difference, depending on the type of wig. Spend a bit more on a wig that will last and look natural, because a solid wig changes the doll's appearance a lot and a cheap wig looks cheap. For buyers planning to photograph the doll regularly, wig quality should come first, the wig being frequently the most obvious sign of a cheap doll.

A Hundred Pounds or More for Specialty Eyes
It's the eyes that are the sixth driver. Premium eyes, hand-painted eyes, or custom eye colours cost extra, while standard eyes are included. The difference is generally small, but it can be a hundred pounds or more for specialty eyes. The eyes are the second most noticeable part of the doll after the head, and they can completely change the expression, so it's worth paying for eyes that match the character you're making. This matters most for anime, fantasy and stylized dolls, where the eyes are a defining feature.

Wire Hands vs Articulated Hands
The hands are the seventh driver. Articulated hands with stainless steel finger joints cost extra, usually fifty to a hundred pounds, while standard wire hands are cheaper. Standard wire hands break eventually, and replacing them costs more than the upgrade, which makes articulated hands worth the upgrade for virtually every customer. Over the life of the doll this upgrade pays for itself, making it one of the simplest to justify.

Deciding on Feet
The feet rank as the eighth driver. Extra cost, generally fifty to a hundred pounds, comes with standing feet with metal bolts, while non-standing feet are cheaper. Standing feet cost additional but open up choices that non-standing feet don't, which is worth it for any doll you plan to display, photograph or shower with. If the doll will only be used in bed, non-standing feet are perfectly adequate, and you can put the savings towards other features.

Realism vs Convenience
Number nine is the orifice type. The base price covers built-in orifices, while removable inserts are usually an added cost of sometimes a hundred to two hundred pounds. Inserts are worth the upgrade for most purchasers, because they're easier to clean and replace, and the long-term cost of keeping built-in orifices is higher than the cost of a set of inserts. For everyone else inserts are the useful choice, whereas buyers who prioritize realism over convenience are better off with built-in orifices.

Maximum Expressiveness
Facial features take tenth place among the drivers. Standard facial features are included, while custom features like special makeup, specific expressions, or movable jaws cost additional. For purchasers who want maximum expressiveness a movable jaw is worth the premium, adding a hundred to three hundred pounds depending on the manufacturer. Custom makeup can cost a similar amount additional, and it's worth it if you want a specific look. They're worth the additional cost if you care about them, and these are the details that turn a stock doll into a custom doll.

Best Value for Money
Number eleven is the body material, and it's frequently overlooked. A hybrid, meaning a TPE body with a silicone head, costs more than pure TPE and less than pure silicone. Often it's the best value for money, since the softness of TPE and the detail of silicone each land where they matter most. Many buyers find the hybrid the sweet spot, as it might cost twelve hundred pounds against eight hundred for a pure TPE and fifteen hundred for a pure silicone.

Long Lead Times and Less Support
The twelfth driver is the seller. No middleman markup means buying directly from a manufacturer is ordinarily cheaper than acquiring from a retailer. Nonetheless, producers frequently have long lead times and less customer service, while retailers offer faster shipping and better support. The cost difference can run to ten to twenty percent at times, which is significant enough to make comparing both choices before you acquire rewarding. Buying direct is regularly cheaper, supplied buyers are assured in what they want. Want support and rapid shipping? Often the premium for a seller is worth paying.

Driver Thirteen: The Customization Level
Number thirteen is the customization level. More labour and more time are needed by a custom doll, so a stock doll, producible in bulk by the manufacturer, costs less. A custom doll can cost two to three times as much as a stock doll, depending on how much customization is involved. For something truly unique, custom is worth the premium. Stock is better value if a standard option suits you.

Paying for the Name
Number fourteen is the brand. Because they have a reputation for quality, better materials, and better client service, premium brands charge more. With budget brands you pay less, but the quality can vary enormously and the risk of disappointment is higher. A premium brand is worth paying the premium for, if you want peace of mind. Outstanding value can come from a budget brand for those prepared to research and risk a bit.

Cheap Dolls With Expensive Delivery
The shipping and tax costs come fifteenth as a driver, and they're frequently overlooked. On a substantial doll, international shipping can cost hundreds of pounds, and import taxes can add another twenty percent to the total. Vendors differ: some include shipping in the cost, others charge separately, and the difference can be notable. Invariably check the total landed cost before you order, not just the sticker price, because a doll that's cheap but has pricey shipping and taxes is not really cheap.

Driver Sixteen: Warranty and Support
The warranty and support are the sixteenth driver. Retailers charge more if they offer a genuine assurance, responsive buyer service, and a hassle-free returns rule, since they've built the cost of those services into the price. Vendors with no assurance, slow support or a no-returns policy charge less, yet they're a much higher risk. Think of the premium for a retailer with a solid warranty as peace of mind: normally worth paying a bit more for, because a dispute or a damaged doll costs much more.

Final Word on What to Pay
In the end it comes down to this: the cost of a sex doll is driven by material, size, skeleton, features and brand in combination, and cheap and premium dolls really are distinct. Cutting corners on the features that matter most is what the cheapest choice usually means, so it's hardly ever the best, while the most expensive option isn't necessarily the best either, as you may be paying for features you don't need. The right price is whichever one gets you the features you genuinely want from a seller you trust, at a cost you can afford. The rest is noise. More info at this rosslink.

  An Honest Word on Sex Dolls- What Actually Matters

[center]DISCOVER BEST SEX DOLL MISTAKE GUIDE NOW[/center]

Usual Mistakes First-Time Sex Doll Buyers Make Before And After Buying
Every one of them wishes someone had told them beforehand, because every seasoned doll owner has a list of oversights they made on their first purchase. Weight underestimated, upgrades skipped, small details ignored: those same few things sit behind most of the errors, which are consistent, predictable and practically entirely avoidable. Here are the ones that come up again and again, and how to avoid them.

Respect the Kilograms
The first and largest error is underestimating the weight. Assuming that's manageable, buyers see a doll in photos and read a spec sheet that says 40kg. That assumption is incorrect, at least in the way they think. Awkward to lift, hard to move and exhausting to clean, a 40kg doll is too much for customers who don't test their own physical limits before ordering to handle comfortably. The 25kg bag test is the single most handy thing any first-time buyer can do, and customers who skip it are the ones who end up selling their dolls within months.

Mistake Two: Skipping the Skeleton Upgrade
The skeleton upgrade gets skipped in the second error. An optional extra, as purchasers on a budget see the yoga skeleton, gets skipped to save the money, and then they discover that the standard skeleton can't handle the doll's weight. The money saved on the skeleton is dwarfed by the cost of repairs or replacement, because the joints loosen within months and the doll sags. Over 35kg, the doll needs the yoga skeleton, which is mandatory, and there's no way around it. The standard skeleton is typically fine if you're acquiring a lighter doll, but the yoga skeleton is still worth considering if you plan to pose regularly.

Striking but 55kg
Customers make a third error when they acquire the incorrect doll for the wrong reasons. Seeing an attractive face in a photo, buyers order the doll without thinking about the body type, the weight, or the practicalities. What arrives is a doll that looks beautiful but weighs 55kg, or one that has the body type they wanted and the face they didn't. The face is the thing you look at every day, so it matters most, but the body type matters just as much for the experience, and prioritizing one over the other usually ends in disappointment.

The Lighting Surprise
The fourth oversight: ignoring the lighting in their home. Studio photos lead customers to assume the doll will look the same in their bedroom, until they discover that the lighting in their home is harsher, cooler, or warmer than the studio and she looks totally different. In real-world lighting every doll looks different than in studio lighting, with pale skin looking washed out under warm bulbs and dark skin looking ashy under cool LEDs. Look at user photos rather than studio photos, and think about how your own lighting will affect the doll.

The Wet-White-Cloth Test
Buyers' fifth oversight is buying clothing before testing it. In their excitement, purchasers acquire an entire wardrobe of dark clothing, and then they discover that the dark dyes have soiled the doll permanently. Purchasers end up with permanent dark marks on their dolls by skipping the wet-white-cloth test, which is the single most important fabric test. Manufacturing processes change, so a fabric that was safe last year might not be safe this year, which is why you should test every piece of clothing before use, even from a brand you've used before.

Purchase Inserts if You Lack the Time
Number six is underestimating the maintenance. Buyers assume a doll is a set-and-forget purchase, only to discover that it needs regular cleaning, powdering, oiling and inspection. Customers who don't build the maintenance routine into their routine end up skipping steps and causing damage; it takes about 45 minutes after every use, which is longer than most expect. Without being prepared for the time commitment, you should purchase a doll with inserts and accept the trade-off in realism, as an easy-to-maintain doll is a doll that gets used.

The Doll Is an Investment, So Are the Accessories
Going cheap on clothing, wigs, or accessories is the seventh slip-up. Treat the accessories as an investment as well, because the doll is one. The difference between wigs: a cheap one looks cheap, sheds fibres and tangles within weeks, and a great one lasts for years. Staining is what cheap clothing does, looking artificial is what cheap eye sets do, and cheap storage solutions don't safeguard the doll properly. Don't cut corners on the things that affect the doll's appearance or lifespan, and acquire the best you can afford.

The Loosening Hour
Eighth on the list is skipping the joint-loosening process. After unboxing the doll and attempting to pose her, customers discover the joints are stiff and assume there's something incorrect. They either give up on posing or force the joints, and both of those outcomes are worse than spending an hour loosening the joints properly. Don't see the tightness as a flaw, since the joints are tight from the factory because they need to be; the hour spent loosening them is the single best investment in the doll's long-term durability.

Sort the Storage Out Early
The ninth mistake involves ignoring the storage setup. Buyers buy a doll without thinking about where she's going to live, and then discover that she doesn't fit in the wardrobe, doesn't hang from a standard hook, and doesn't store comfortably in a storage case. Plan the storage setup before the doll arrives, not after, because a weighty doll that's left in a corner or on a bed ends up damaged within months. The doll needs a proper home before she arrives, so plan the storage and either install the hook or purchase the case.

Low Prices and Warning Signs
Buying from an unreputable vendor makes up the tenth mistake. A low cost catches buyers' eyes, they ignore the warning signs, and they end up with a doll that's damaged, misrepresented, or never arrives at all. A share of the doll market belongs to scammers; the usual signs, obvious in hindsight, are costs that are too decent to be true, retailers with no reviews, vendors who won't supply real photos of the actual doll, and retailers who won't answer questions directly. Vendors with a track record are the ones to acquire from, and a payment technique that offers customer protection is the one to pay with.

Joint Type Matters as Much as Skeleton Type
The eleventh slip-up is not asking about the joint type and skeleton reinforcement. Customers assume that all yoga skeletons are the same, and then discover that some have ratchet joints and some have friction joints, and some are reinforced and some aren't. Matching the skeleton type in importance is the joint type, and matching both is the reinforcement. Be precise when you ask what kind of joints the doll has, and don't accept "standard" as an answer.

Dolls That Look Good Outside the Studio
The twelfth error is buying without seeing user photos. User photos are honest and studio photos are aspirational, and customers who rely on studio photos end up disappointed. Showing the doll under genuine conditions, in genuine lighting, with genuine clothing, genuine photos are the only reliable way to know what you're in fact getting. Before buying, put in an hour with user photos, and favour the dolls that look solid in real-world conditions over the ones that look great in studios.

The Hidden Extras
Thirteenth on the list is not factoring in the accessories and upgrades into the budget. After budgeting for the doll, purchasers discover that the extras they need, like a wig, a storage case, a cleaning kit, and clothing, add hundreds of pounds to the total. The entire package, not just the doll, is what to budget for from the start, so you avoid running out of money halfway through.

Face, Body Type, Height, Material, Aesthetic
Fourteen: ordering a doll when you haven't yet idea about what you actually want. Buyers see a doll they like, order it, and then become aware they wanted something distinct. Thinking about the face, the body type, the height, the material and the aesthetic takes time, and you should take it before you order, whatever a sale or a limited edition says. The time it takes is what the decision deserves, a doll being a long-term purchase.

Error Fifteen: Ignoring Ongoing Costs
Buyers' fifteenth oversight is not budgeting for the continuing costs of ownership. There are other expenses besides the doll, which is the largest. All adding up over the years are cleaning supplies, powder, oil, replacement wigs, replacement inserts, and sporadic repairs, and customers who don't budget for these end up cutting corners on maintenance. Keep the doll in decent condition for years by setting aside a small quantity each month for maintenance and replacements.

A Dedicated Room Gives You More Options
The sixteenth oversight? Buying a doll that's too weighty for your living circumstance. When a doll has to be carried up and down stairs, or moved between rooms, or stored in an awkward space, she becomes a hassle rather than a pleasure. Think about your living situation before you buy, and choose a doll that fits it. A lighter doll is the one to purchase if you live in a flat with a narrow staircase. If your home is a house with a dedicated room, more alternatives are open to you. Your lifestyle shouldn't have to match the weight and the storage setup; they should match it.

Final Advice for First-Time Buyers
Rushing, skipping steps and ignoring the sensible details lie behind nearly all of the oversights, which are predictable; that's the bottom line. The majority of first-time buyer slip-ups are evaded by slowing down, doing the research, testing your own limits and purchasing from a reputable seller. Extra time before ordering is what separates a purchase you love from one you regret on a substantial purchase like the doll.

Tpe Oiling And Powdering: When Your Doll Actually Needs Each One
Doll ownership has plenty of myths, but TPE maintenance has more misinformation than almost any other topic. Some customers go weekly with the oil, some skip it entirely, and the advice online ranges from "oil every day" to "never oil, it ruins the material." Neither extreme is right; the truth is somewhere in the middle and depends on the doll, the climate, and how often she's used. This guide strips out the noise and covers when your doll really needs oiling and powdering, how to do it properly, and what happens if you get it mistaken.

What Oiling and Powdering Actually Do
First, understand what oiling and powdering really do. Oil makes up part of the composition of TPE, a porous material. That oil migrates out of the material over time, leaving the surface dry, stiff, and prone to cracking. Oiling replaces the lost oil and keeps the material supple. Powdering, on the other hand, doesn't add anything to the material itself. On the surface it sits, stopping the TPE from becoming tacky and stopping dust and lint from sticking to the doll. Both are required, yet each serves a distinct purpose and runs on a distinct schedule.

The First Few Months
Oiling becomes needed as soon as the TPE starts to feel dry, stiff, or slightly rough to the touch. For the first few months on a new doll, oiling isn't needed, as the material is normally well-oiled from the factory. When the doll ages and the oil migrates out, the surface commences feeling less supple, and oiling becomes essential then. The climate and the doll's usage dictate the frequency. If you live somewhere hot and dry, oiling might be needed every month. In cool, humid conditions, every three to six months. A doll stored most of the time needs oiling less often than one that's used regularly.

The Warning Signs Are Obvious
Quite clear are the signs that a doll needs oiling, once you know what to look for. Expect the surface to feel dry and somewhat uneven rather than smooth and soft. The look of the material is slightly dull, not slightly glossy. The doll is stiffer than typical to move at the joints. Severe cases show up as small cracks or white lines on the surface, signalling serious dehydration that requires immediate oiling. Seeing cracks means oiling the doll straight away, then consulting a professional if the cracks don't enhance within a few days.

The Oil Type Matters Hugely
It matters vastly which type of oil you use. Use mineral oil specifically formulated for TPE dolls, not cooking oil, baby oil, or any other household oil. Rancid cooking oil inside the material makes a smell you can't remove. Baby oil contains fragrances and other additives that can damage the TPE. Cheap and straightforward to source from doll vendors, mineral oil designed for TPE is the only safe choice. There's no reason to improvise, because a bottle lasts for years.

What a Good Oiling Feels Like
The oiling method is direct. Put a small quantity of oil on a gentle cloth or a sponge, then rub it into the surface of the doll in circular motions. Never pour oil directly onto the doll; it pools in the crevices and produces a greasy mess. Pay particular attention to areas that feel dry or uneven, working in sections from the limbs towards the torso. Fifteen to thirty minutes is how long to leave the oil to absorb, then wipe off any excess with a clean cloth. Later the doll should feel supple and slightly glossy, not greasy.

Surface Oils and Powder
After every cleaning session, and any time the doll feels tacky, powdering is needed. Powder deals with the tackiness caused by the surface oils migrating to the top of the material, absorbing those oils and making a silky, dry surface. Tricky to remove is the dust and lint that the doll attracts without powdering, as it sticks to the tacky surface. Powdering takes about five minutes per session and is the single most key routine maintenance task.

Choosing the Right Powder
Powder type is something else that matters. Cornstarch wins on both cost and effectiveness, and it's available from any supermarket. Baby powder is an option, but it costs more and often contains fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin. Talc-based powders should be stayed away from, since talc is a known irritant and has been linked to health issues. Just as well as anything marketed specifically for dolls, cornstarch works, and it's safe and cheap. Costing a couple of pounds, a substantial tub lasts for months.

Get Into the Creases
The powdering technique is uncomplicated but needs to be done properly. Dust it over the entire surface of the doll after applying a small amount of powder to a soft makeup brush or a powder puff. Work section by section, employing the brush to get into the crevices and folds where powder is most needed. Overdo it and the too-much powder produces an evident white residue that's hard to remove. Just a light dusting is enough to keep the surface silky and non-tacky. Use a clean cloth to wipe off any excess after powdering, and the doll should feel smooth and dry to the touch.

Doing Both in One Session
The order and timing of oiling and powdering matter. Never the other way around: oil first, then powder. Oil needs to be absorbed into the material, and powder on top of oil produces a paste that's tough to work with. If you're doing both in the same session, oil first, leave it to absorb for fifteen to thirty minutes, wipe off the excess, then powder. That ensures the oil penetrates properly and the powder sits on a clean surface.

How to Tell You've Overdone It
You should know the signs that you're oiling too much. Should the doll feel greasy rather than flexible, you've used too much oil. If the surface looks wet rather than a little glossy, you've used too much oil. If the doll attracts dust more than normal, the oil hasn't been absorbed properly and the surface is still oily. Because over-oiling can clog the pores of the TPE and cause the material to degrade faster, err on the side of less oil rather than more.

Hardly Visible Is the Goal
Take note of the signs that you're powdering too much too. A doll that looks visibly white or chalky means you've used too much powder. You've in all likelihood used too much and the powder is drawing moisture out of the material if the surface feels dry and stiff despite recent powdering. You only need a light dusting, and the powder should be hardly visible once applied and buffed.

Why Daily Care Backfires
A widespread myth says that TPE dolls need to be oiled and powdered every single day. Over-oiling clogs the material and over-powdering dries it out, so this is unnecessary and can in fact be harmful. The correct schedule comes to oiling every one to three months depending on climate and use, plus powdering after every cleaning session. End of story. Everything else counts as overkill.

Check the Surface Instead of the Calendar
Climate matters more than most buyers recognise. Faster oil loss happens to a doll in a hot, dry climate than to one in a cool, humid climate, and the oiling schedule needs to reflect that. A doll in a centrally heated home in winter is in a dry environment, even if the outside climate is humid, and the oiling schedule should account for that. For simplicity, check the doll's surface every few weeks and oil when it feels dry, rather than following a fixed schedule.

Where the Oil Goes Fastest
The question of oiling specific regions needs covering too. More oil tends to be needed by the joints and the areas around the joints than by the rest of the body, as the material there is under more stress and the oil migrates faster. Particularly if they're often in contact with water or cleaning goods, the hands and feet are also prone to drying out. Put the focus on these zones during oiling sessions, since a general oiling isn't something to assume is enough to keep the whole doll in good condition.

Dust Buildup on Idle Dolls
Activity level is another thing the powdering schedule needs to account for. One that's largely on display needs powdering less than a doll that's used frequently and cleaned regularly. You're powdering after every use as well if you're cleaning the doll after every use, and that's the correct approach. When you're not cleaning often because the doll isn't being used, you still need to powder every few weeks to avoid dust buildup and to keep the surface silky.

Where You Keep Her Matters
Storage also affects the oiling schedule. Oil loss is slower for a doll that's stored in a closed case or a wardrobe than for one that's exposed to air, because the enclosed environment is more constant. Store a doll in direct sunlight or near heat sources and she loses oil much faster, needing oiling more regularly. If a doll is to be stored for an extended duration, oil her thoroughly before storage and check her every few months to see whether she needs more oil.

The Bottom Line on Oiling and Powdering
At the end of the day, oiling and powdering are simple, cheap, and needed, but also simple to overdo. Oil when she feels dry and powder after every clean, and don't purchase the advice that says you need to do either every day. With minimal effort, a well-maintained TPE doll will last for years, and the best results go to purchasers who do the basics consistently rather than obsessing over every detail.

[center]SEE THE BEST SKELETON JOINT SEX DOLL GUIDE TODAY[/center]

Skeleton Joint Types In Sex Dolls: What Every Buyer Should Know
A doll's skeleton is the framework inside, and it's what determines almost everything about how she functions. What poses she can do, how well she holds them, how long she lasts and how much effort moving her takes: the skeleton decides all of it. No other piece of hardware in the whole doll matters as much as the skeleton, yet the typical buyer doesn't think about it until something goes mistaken, which is an oversight. Replace the whole doll prematurely, or pay hundreds in repairs: that's the cost of the incorrect choice.

When a Standard Skeleton Is Enough
It matters vastly which of the two main skeleton types you go for. Most budget dolls have the standard skeleton, the basic one, with bolt joints connected by a wireframe. For light dolls and straightforward poses it works well, and under 35kg, with a petite or skinny doll, a standard skeleton is normally enough. Those joints loosen quick with 40kg on them, especially with extra chest weight, and once loose a joint won't tighten again.

How Advanced Skeletons Keep Poses Without Sagging
Stainless steel locking joints that handle far more weight are what the advanced or yoga skeleton, the upgrade, uses. They click into place and stay there, which means you can pose your doll sitting up, leaning forward, standing with her weight shifted, and she'll hold those poses for hours without sagging. Don't think of the yoga skeleton as optional if you're acquiring a BBW, huge boobs, huge booty or substantial curvy model; it's designed for heavier dolls and is mandatory. Buying anything over 35kg? You need the yoga skeleton, and that's non-negotiable.

The Joint Detail Most Buyers Overlook
Many customers are caught out by joint type, which matters as much as the skeleton type. Two kinds of joints are used in the yoga skeleton. Ratchet joints, also known as clicking locks, have teeth that engage as you move the joint and hold it firmly in place. A friction joint, or tightened screw, relies on resistance to hold a position and gradually loosens over time. Ratchet joints are better in nearly every way, as they hold their position reliably and last far longer.

Why Friction Joints Are a False Economy
It's a false economy, even though friction joints are cheaper and simpler to manufacture and that's why budget dolls have them. As the friction wears down with use, the joint loses its grip and the doll starts to sag. Compared with when they were new, friction joints feel noticeably looser within a year or two of routine use, and repairing them is hard. By contrast, ratchet joints can last for years without noticeable degradation, and the cost difference between the two is relatively small.

When a Manufacturer Can't Tell You
Ask about the hip, knee and shoulder joints before you order, since those take the most strain. On heavier dolls, hip and shoulder joints bear most of the weight during posing, so loosening there makes the doll impossible to stand or her arms impossible to pose. If the maker is unable to say what joints the doll has in these precise positions, consider that a red flag and go elsewhere.

Additional Material Around the Pivot Point
Another question to ask is about joint reinforcement, which is separate from joint type. Under load, the metal in a reinforced joint doesn't deform, thanks to the extra material around the pivot point. On heavier dolls, reinforcement matters as much as the joint type itself, and a ratchet joint without reinforcement can still fail under extreme weight. Ask the seller directly whether the hips, knees and shoulders are reinforced, and if the answer is vague, don't accept it.

Why an Articulated Spine Is Worth It for Photography
You should pay attention to the spine as well; it's another part of the skeleton. A more rigid spine that only permits basic movement is what other dolls have, in contrast to the fully articulated spine that permits twisting and bending on some. Natural postures come far more easily with an articulated spine, which is an important upgrade for photography and posing. Limiting the doll's expressiveness is what a rigid spine does, although it's fine for basic use, so if you'll photograph her frequently pay the extra for the articulated choice.

How the Neck Affects Photos
The final piece of the puzzle is the neck joint, which gets the least attention. The doll's expressiveness is vastly increased by a thoroughly articulated neck, which allows head tilting, turning and nodding. The doll looks stiff in photos, and natural expressions are minimised in range, when a rigid neck locks the head in one position. Specs make the difference look subtle, but in use it's plain, so it's worth asking before ordering.

When the Skeleton Moves Around Inside the Doll
Most purchasers never think about how the skeleton is fixed inside the body, but it's a genuine question. The skeleton moves around inside the material when, as on cheaper dolls, the internal mounting points holding it in place come loose or shift over time. Firmly anchored is how the skeleton stays on better-built dolls, thanks to reinforced mounting points. Stress concentrates at the shoulders and hips, which makes them the vital spots; a loose mounting point there is the beginning of the end for how the doll functions.

What Can and Can't Be Upgraded After Purchase
The single most key thing to grasp is that the skeleton isn't just a support structure. The one element that can't be easily upgraded after purchase is also the foundation of everything the doll can do. Upgrade the storage, change the wig, swap the hands or replace the eyes if you like, but the skeleton can only be replaced by taking the doll apart and basically rebuilding her, which most owners never do. Whatever your budget, get the best skeleton you can afford; it's the one upgrade that pays off every time you pose her.

A Few Hundred Pounds That Decide Everything
A false economy is skipping the yoga skeleton on heavier dolls, for which it's mandatory. Spend the additional few hundred pounds on the yoga skeleton; it determines whether the doll functions for years or fails within months, and nothing else in the purchase gives better value. Photography and steady posing are decent reasons to consider the yoga skeleton even for a lighter doll, which would generally be fine with the standard one. For any doll over 35kg, and for any doll you plan to use heavily, the yoga skeleton is the right choice.

Joint Type After the Skeleton Itself
Joint type is the second most key decision, behind only the skeleton itself. For a small difference in cost, ratchet joints hold positions better and last far longer than friction joints. Don't let the retailer get away with "standard" when you ask which type the doll has; it can mean either one. Take it as a warning sign if the vendor can't tell you, and acquire from someone who can.

Sizable Bust? Check the Reinforcement
Most customers forget about the third question, reinforcement, completely. Hefty loads are handled better by reinforced joints, which are stronger, last longer and hold position better. Reinforced joints are necessary for any doll over 35kg or with a big bust. Assume it's not there, and plan accordingly, if the vendor can't confirm reinforcement.

Spine and Neck for Varied Poses
Photography makes the spine and neck, the fourth and fifth considerations, matter more than basic use does. Want her natural in varied poses, or plan routine photography? An articulated spine and neck are worth the additional. For basic use without much posing, rigid versions are fine and the money can go on something else.

Natural and Poseable for Years: The Skeleton Payoff
Everything about how the doll functions is determined by the skeleton, though most purchasers ignore it until something goes mistaken. Get it right and the doll will feel natural and poseable for years. Should you get it mistaken, expect joints that work loose, limbs that sag, and in the end a doll that cannot hold any position. Regularly it's a single forgotten question that separates the good purchases from the dreadful ones, so make the skeleton your first.

The Hairdryer Trick for Loosening Joints Evenly
On arrival, spend time breaking in the joints before trying any ambitious posing; that's one final functional point. Because the joints are tight from the factory they need working in gently, and forcing them will damage them. Employing a hairdryer on a warm setting, loosen up the TPE around each joint, then put every joint through its full range of motion several times. This hour's work is the single best investment you can make in the doll's long-term durability, loosening the joints evenly and not stressing individual points.

The Bottom Line: The Skeleton Is Forever
Invisible it may be, but the skeleton makes the doll move, hold a pose and stay stable. Choose the best skeleton your budget permits, question the vendor about joint type and reinforcement before you order, and take the time to break the doll in properly once she's here. The skeleton is forever, whereas everything else about the doll is negotiable. More info at this rosslink. Also check out this link and don't forget continue and why not look here for more.
