Foam and silicone remain the two most common materials for sex dolls, each offering distinct advantages for Finnish users. Silicone dolls feel more lifelike, with a realistic texture and better heat retention that can mimic human warmth. They’re typically more durable against daily wear, resist tearing, and hold color well when properly cared for. However, silicone can be pricier and requires careful cleaning to avoid staining; in Finland’s climate, temperature fluctuations should be managed to prevent material stress.
Foam dolls are generally lighter and more affordable. They can be softer to the touch and easier to repair in some cases, but they might be more susceptible to compression over time and can show wear in joints or makeup. Foam also tends to respond differently to heat and humidity, so storage and climate control are important in Nordic homes.
Care routines vary: silicone benefits from mild cleansers and alcohol-free products, while foam often needs gentler handling and moisture management to maintain its firmness. In Finland, where indoor climates are typically controlled but heating can dry the air, creators recommend regular inspection of seams and joints, careful cleaning after use, and storing dolls away from direct sunlight. Your choice depends on budget, desired realism, and willingness to invest in maintenance, along with how climate considerations shape long-term upkeep.
