Custom Sex Doll Options Explained
A brief explanation of all the custom sex doll options to help you build your perfect love doll.
One of the first decisions you'll make when choosing your doll is whether or not to have her "Custom made" or "Same as photo".
Selecting the 'Same as photo' options mean just that.
Your doll will be made to look just like she does in the photos, wig, eyes, skin tone... The lot. This is what is commonly referred to as a pre-configured sex doll.
You will be asked to select which vagina option you want, and which foot option you would like. This is just to make sure you get exactly what you want, and to avoid any disappointment. (It can be hard to tell if the doll has a fixed or insert vagina from the photos, so we give you the opportunity to tell us exactly what you want.)
Selecting the 'Custom made' option means you get to choose all the little details yourself and swap out any bits you don't like. See below for a brief explanation of all the custom sex doll options available, and what each one means...
What do all the options actually mean?
Body:
The body refers to the model number and often includes the height, breast size and manufacture of the doll.
Example - WM166C. The Brand is WM, the height is 166cm, and the breast cup is C.
When viewing a pre-configured sex doll, the body is pre-selected. To change the body, search through our sex dolls here, and select a doll with a body that you like. Doll's come in all different shapes and sizes.
Almost any body-shape imaginable is available.
Head:
All heads have a specific name or number (depending on the manufacturer). Most manufacturers give their doll's head a number, some manufacturers give them names.
The head name or number can be found in the doll's description.
Heads are not connected permanently to the doll's body (unless purchasing a Piper Doll) and can be removed or changed at any time.
All heads can be made to look very different depending on make-up, eye colour and wig choice.
We list the most popular heads on our site. However, we have access to all sex doll heads from all of our sex doll manufacturers. If you can't find what you're looking for: Contact Silicone Lovers.

Skin:
- Skin refers to the doll's head and/or body colour.
- Each manufacturer has unique skin colour options, each with a specific name.
- Most manufacturers have a variety of skin tones ranging from white, natural, pink, light tan, tanned & cocoa.
- The most popular sex doll skin tones are "Tanned" and "Light Tan".
- If you are having trouble deciding, please contact our friendly team for more information. We can even provide TPE samples for you to compare upon request.
Q: Why does the same skin tone look different between dolls?
Skin tone can look vastly different between photos, this is due to the photography conditions and any post-photography effects that have sometimes been implemented for visual effect.
A: It can be affected by one or more of the following:
- Lighting - This has a HUGE effect on the appearance of skin tone - The exact same skin tone photographed in a professional studio, can look significantly different under factory lighting.
- Filters - All kinds of filters can be used, some can be more subtle than others.
- Monitors - Types of monitor used to view photographs.
- Cameras - Type of camera used during photography.
- Vendors - Different vendors can refer to skin tones by different names.*
*We use the skin colour name provided by our manufacturers. We do not alter the skin colour name.
Eye colour:
The eyes of a sex doll are not fixed permanently and can be removed/changed at any point.
A change of eye colour can significantly change the whole look of your doll.
Can't decide which eye colour you like best? Why not add an extra set of eyes so you can switch between the two colours any time you like?

Wig:
As you might have guessed, dolls don't grow their own hair, they have wigs. There are a huge amount of wigs to choose from.
Each manufacturer has a specific selection of wigs that they offer.
The wigs available have been chosen by the manufacturer, the selection is designed to give you a wide variety of styles to choose from. 
Want the wig in the photos, but can't see the option?
Select: Same as photo
We offer a "Same as photo" option so our customers can request the wig in the photos.
An example of when you might select this option would be with Charlotte. Charlotte is displayed with curly red hair, yet there is no option for curly red hair in the wig options. In this instance, select "Same as photo".
Areola size:
The areola is the circular area surrounding the nipples.
The size refers to the diameter of the areola.
The areola is hand finished (stained by hand using TPE stain) by the workshop artists and can be made to any size (within reason). However, the dolls often have a textured area pre-moulded into the doll's body which can restrict the recommended areola sizes, these textured areas are usually visible in the doll's photos. Of course, it is possible to stain the doll's areola to any size larger than the textured area, but it's not necessarily recommended...
If you are unsure about this option, we recommend selecting the "Same as photo" option. Our workshop artists will always try to make the areola size look as realistic as possible to ensure good doll aesthetics.
Areola colour:
The areola is the circular area surrounding the nipples.
The areola colour is hand finished (stained by hand using TPE stain) by the workshop artists and can be made any colour. Generally, we recommend making the areola and labia colour the same or similar.
If in doubt, we recommend selecting the "Same as photo" option. Our workshop artists will always try to make the areola look as realistic as possible to ensure good doll aesthetics. You cannot change the nipple style/shape.
Vagina option:
The vagina option is available in two options: Fixed or Insert.
- The fixed vagina is a built-in-vagina, permanently moulded into the doll's body.
- The insert vagina option looks similar, but the internal opening is slightly wider to accommodate a removable "sleeve" insert, designed to ease the cleaning process.
Here are some pros and cons for both options so you can make up your own mind.
The Fixed Vagina (Permanent)
Pros
- The fixed vagina is more realistic aesthetically.
- It is more realistic to the touch. (the inside "chamber" is the same on both)
- It can be easier to use if you’re not “fully erect”.
- You can control how tight the vagina is by opening the legs.
- You can place your doll sitting over a container or bucket to wash.
- You can have a shower with the doll using a shower hose to clean.
Cons
- It can be cumbersome to clean the doll if your doll is large, heavy or non-standing.
- If you are ever going to resell the doll, it is less appealing to buyers.
The Vagina Insert (Removable)
Pros
- You can remove the insert from the doll for easy cleaning.
- The vagina cavity is suitable for use with a penis adapter.
- You can have a second insert ready while the other is drying.
- You can purchase different size inserts.
- You can replace the insert.
- It appears the same as the fixed vagina on the outside.
Cons
- The insert needs powder to insert.
- It can be annoying to insert when lubricated.
- It feels less realistic to the touch on the inside.
- There can be additional movement.
Anonymous Quotes from The Doll Forum
“Built-in ... don't get it unless you're purely for aesthetics. Inserts... get it if you're a horny dog... and get TWO inserts because you like to put a dry clean insert in after each time!”
“Now that I've found the best way to clean them, built-in. 100%”
“Built-in all the way. I've had both and consider the insert actually more trouble and certainly aesthetically inferior.”
“I have both, a PIB GND that has an insert and a WM140 that has a built in vagina and since I bought a good plastic wide rim container it is just as easy to clean either because I don't have to lift one or the other and manipulate them to & from the bathroom! Just a good towel and the container on top of the bed and a lady with a built-in is cleaned just as easily right there with no mess if handled carefully. "
"I'd definitely go the insert, it's just easy to clean - not tried the fixed though!"
Well, there you have it, folks. We think it comes down to personal preference and to individual technique when it comes to cleaning.. the choice is yours.
Breast:
Many (but not all) of the dolls available offer the choice of solid, or hollow breast.
What's the difference? Other than one being hollow and the other NOT being hollow... The hollow breasts are "squishier" and help with reducing the overall weight of the doll, particularly if you are considering a doll with extra large boobies...
As a general rule...
- Doll's with a breast size lower than C cup are ordered with a solid breast (Unless otherwise requested).
- Doll's with a breast size higher than C cup are ordered with a hollow breast (Unless otherwise requested).

Labia colour:
The labia is hand coloured to your requirements. All manufacturers offer basic colouring and definition, some manufacturers (such as Irontech) offer ultra-realistic artistic definition and detail in the naughty parts upon request.
Generally, we recommend colouring the labia the same as the areola colour, and if in doubt, we recommend selecting "Same as photo" on both to ensure the workshop artists colour the naughty bits just like the glamour shots, which is debatably the doll at her best...
Pubic Hair:
We all know what pubic hair is, some of us love it, some of us can't stand the stuff...
Either way, pubic hair is available in multiple styles and colours. Some manufacturers (like Irontech) plug the hair into the doll's skin to give it a more realistic look and feel. Others simply glue the hair onto the surface of the doll's skin. Check with us before purchase if you are concerned. We can order it as a patch you can glue on yourself - well not on you, on the doll, silly!
Fingernail + Toenail Colour:
Like real fingernails + toenails, they can be painted. There's not a lot more to explain about nail colour, other than - You can choose the colour.
Tip: If you can't make your mind up about fingernail and toenail colours, we would recommend getting natural fingernails. Why? Because you can always paint them at a later date, just like real fingernails!
Feet:
The feet are available in two options: Standing or Non-Standing.
Standing feet are by far the most popular foot option with our sex dolls, as you may have guessed, the standing foot option enables the doll to stand upright.
With the standing feet option, there are three (very small) metal bolt heads that protrude slightly from the bottom of the foot to enable the doll to stand unassisted. In our opinion, this small visual sacrifice is worth it, you can stand your doll for long periods of time for photography, intimacy or storage. However, we recommend not leaving your doll free-standing whilst unsupervised as he/she may fall and become damaged.
Standing feet are great for:
- Photography
- Storing your doll upright in the house.
- Assisting with dressing your doll.
- Assisting with cleaning your doll.
- Assisting with moving from one place to another.
- And actually standing. (in flat shoes)
- People with a shoe fetish who want their doll to stand in shoes. (*always use support when in heels*)
- Having sex whilst standing
Standing feet are not great for:
- People with a foot fetish (bolts are visible on the bottom of feet)
- Foot Flexibility (cannot move upward or side to side - only down)
