Time to say hello,

[Thumper]

Greetings everyone,
I have recently joined, and am looking forward to knowledge that I may be able to obtain.
Due to circumstances outwith my control, I find myself alone. And have been since July last year.
I am fascinated by some of the ladies available on the market and truly am ready to dive down the rabbit hole..

So many questions, Silicone, TPE, Hair, Quality, Caring for, legalities etc.
My wife was a petite lady, so short in stature will always be my preference (petite but not overly youthful, thats not me!).

Any guidance or images (Where to purchase from) would be gratefully appreciated.

I would prefer to purchase within th U.K., as I live in Scotland.

many thanks in advance to anyone who reaches out to me with guidance.:tu

:welcome Thumper and have a look around here.

The most important measure for legality is height and if you go with a UK based vendor you should be fine. As I am not from the UK I cannot recommend one but others will surely help with that.

Dolls are beautiful companions and more but don't let yourself fool with the pictures, our girls don't move or do anything in the household so you need to be prepared for that. Else they are great fun.

Have a look around, lots of topics about dolls have been often discusssed and you should be able to find a lot of good and valuable info.

Hi Thumper and :welcome

I’m no expert myself as I’ve only recently gotten into dolls. Really great fun though - especially the photography and just having my doll, Harper, around the house or lying in bed next to me.
One consideration I would have myself if buying another doll is the weight. Harper has a weight of 40kg and I find it quite tiring to move and manipulate her when preparing her for photos, dressing her up etc.. It’s a pretty good workout and my arms are often aching the next day! I’m just 5’9” and around 11.5 st. myself, so I’d definitely go for something lighter next time.

Have fun.

Hi Thumper, Welcome.

Weight is oft given as a warning, and should be heeded. I have a 43Kg girl who is a joy to have as she's very naturally proportioned, but she's a weight to move about. in comparison I have other who are around 34 Kg and are very much easier to handle.

All that aside, you'll find an array of info here to wade through and we always try to answer questions.

Have fun

HI, be careful what you wish for, this rabbit hole is a very deep one.
I am far from an expert (cue Tommo, Adam, Karrot et al) but do look at the weight of the prospective lady. A WM 166c (33kg) although shorter is noticeably heavier than a WM 159c (39kg) , so height alone is not an indicator of lightness.
I believe the legal minimum height is 148cm, but as Poppy said, if you use a UK supplier, you should be ok.
I have only used the doll house and cloud climax, so can't advise on others.
If you post a link to any that you are interested in, someone will offer any advice that you ask for

Welcome, which part of Scotland are you in? I'm up in the North East corner.

No one can tell you if you're going to be able to get on with a doll and that will only be discovered with firsthand experience. On that basis I would suggest buying 2ndhand first time around so as you don't lose too much money if it isn't for you.

[Thumper]

Many thanks Jo.

[Thumper]

Thanks Jedzed, I will keep that in the forefront of my mind.

Thank you K,
Your comments are much appreciated..
At 61 and around 11 stone. Her weight will be an issue I think.

Very good advice from another Rammstein fan, I think. Much appreciated.

Very good advice coming from a fellow Scot.

Lucid Toys, Oxford
Dollhouse near Durham
Cloudclimax London
Siliconelovers London Heathrow(I think)

I would say are main UK retailers
Ensure you go to UK websites as few are multi national.

For a short doll I would say Lucid Toys Girlfriend or Sugarbabe, not the best of dolls but pretty decent and excellent starters for a low price. Plus no wait time on most.

If you want a doll to be in your bed I would strongly suggest either full silicone or hybrid silicone head/TPE body this gives you implanted hair option, wigs fall of easy and next to useless if in bed.

148cm is legal height for UK thats about 4'10

People will mention weight DO NOT ignore it, dolls get pretty darn heavy with sticky out limbs.

Plenty of pages of doll care on this site and store sites have info, they are not buy and forget they need lot of care and attention unless your willing to short life them, which can be expensive.

GL anyhows from another ex Auld Reekie lad.

Thank you my friend. I will try to remember all of that. I'm thinking full silicone generally. There's not too many people who will know where Auld Reekie is off the top of their head. Many thanks.

Hi, posting this here so I don't clutter Emma's thread.

If you are looking for her sister, but in silicone, Tighes has a lady here, full silicone and a supposedly light body.

AngelKiss are WM's silicone girls

Wow, I'm stunned by the choice and quality. I can see myself spending an unjustifiable amount of money on a completely new life choice. Thank you for the update.
