I went into matalan for my covid booster at the end of last year. Came out with a bag of pj's and dressing gowns
You sure you went to the right place for your booster fella?

Hi It’s good to know that there are others at the ‘just starting’ stage. Everyone has been very supportive. My main issue is the weight of the dolls. I have had issues with a bad back and even the lightest dolls are actually quite heavy to lift. 28kg might not sound heavy but it’s 4½ stones or 62 pounds! I am making enquiries of several of the doll retailers but ultimately if I cannot lift it safely then I cannot buy it which would be such a shame. Anyway I hope yours arrives soon. You will have to post photos of her when she arrives. GrahamGraham, Good luck with whatever you decide, as others have said take your time, i committed back in February and it's 7 weeks and counting, still no news, could be stuck in the Suez canal for all i know, plenty of time to consider did i make the right decision which doesn't help

I have discovered that you can order the OR doll with detachable legs as a £160 extra option so that would reduce the weight when carrying her and then just add head and legs when she is in the place you want her to be so that may be the answer. None of the alternatives I have seen seem any better than that. I am still sitting on the fence though. One day I will press that button!Lightest legal TPE girl you will find is the SM 155D. The body is 24kg but you would need to add 2kg more for the head.

Thanks JoDetachable legs are okay when you move her seldom, because you still put her somewhere stable to attach and detach the legs. In addition you will have a rather prominent seam which can only be hidden by stockings. No bikini shots and be careful when you put her into the shower.
I've got an Ex Lite with detachable arms and legs full PU weighing only 8kg but she's a photo model only, and always dressed or the seams somehow out of sight.
It's already very annoying when she loses the wig during playtime, worse possibility even the head, but you can't pull a leg (pun intended) on a full body doll. That coming of, you might be better of with a torso.
Good luck.

Aibei make www.kimberdoll.co.uk and their TPE is one of the most robust I have come across. I own four.
Ive no experience with Zlovedoll tho.
I will +1 on the robust. One of mine is an Aibei and she seems to be pretty bulletproof. I've not posted her pictures online because promo pictures are a lie and in reality she looks much younger. But some of those Aibei girls are gorgeous.
Hi Graham welcome to the Forum, just read all the comments as I missed some threads. My Avatar is of my Albei torso 28kg with big breasts and is that heavy as a metal box inside compared to my other 5 torsos. I’ve only just found out that they make Kimbers which would make sense as tpe is different. I got her on Alibaba after another torso I bought from same Comp (he went out and bought her from Albei for me) which must be 5 years now. A few of us have more than 10 (31) girls tpe and silicone.
I have Louise which is a OR girl which must be 4+ years old as most of mine are preloved as they say and she is my cuddle babe. My girls from 16kg -50kg and I would only recommend up to 32kg for 1st, 2nd timers.
Mine are shown when I can on IG and X under Louiseandhersisters, louiselovedoll, lovedolllouise as easier to put pics on them. Glad to know that you're taking your time as I went from 4 to 20 within 3 years and last one was 6/8 weeks ago. Don't go mad like I have but I don't regret most!!!
