The Straight-Up Sex Doll Guide for Guys on a Budget

I’m Craig, and this is the straight-up sex doll guide I wish I’d had before I bought my first doll. I’m 34, I’m a licensed electrician in Hamilton, Ontario, and I own sex dolls.

I got tired of the dating grind. Not women, the grind: the apps, the texting, three dinners and a maybe. A good doll beats the hell out of your hand, and doesn’t mess with your head.

Before my first one, I spent two weeks reading through product pages and forum threads, trying to figure out which seller was lying to me. This site is that homework, written down, so you can find the right doll for your budget and your place without wasting a cent.

The types of sex dolls, in one line

There are five types of sex dolls, and the type matters more than the face. Most guys only know about full-size dolls. That’s where the money gets wasted.

• Full-Size Dolls: the whole body, head to feet. The most realistic, and the heaviest and hardest to store.
• Torso Dolls: chest to hips, with or without a head, no legs. Half-body dolls live here too. It’s where I started, and where most first-timers should.
• Butt Dolls: hips, butt and vagina, sometimes with full legs (the legs-and-butt kind). The main event for less money and weight.
• Handheld Pussies: a realistic vagina you hold in one hand, no body. Pocket pussies and strokers are the same thing. The cheapest way in, and the easiest to hide.
• Heads: a spare or swap head for a doll you already own. An add-on, not a starting point.

Weight is the spec nobody checks. A full-size doll runs about 71 to 106 lb (32 to 48 kg), going by the listings in my breakdown of what dolls weigh. A torso can come in as light as 27 lb (12 kg).

Start with your budget

Your budget picks the type, and the type picks the doll.

• Tight budget, or not sure you’re into it yet? Start with a handheld or a torso. My cheap sex dolls page sorts the low end into worth it and skip it.
• Got a number in mind but no clue what it buys? Read what a sex doll actually costs once shipping lands on top of the sticker price.
• Ready to spend, but stuck on which type? Go through all five types side by side before you look at a single face.

How I keep this sex doll guide honest

I tell you which doll to skip, and I show you where every number comes from. For a named doll, I check the maker’s specs, the seller listing and verified buyer reviews. I don’t pretend I’ve had a doll in my hands when I haven’t.

• How I review dolls and sellers: the method and every verdict, skips included.
• How to spot a fake doll or a scam store: what to check before you pay anyone.

Heads up, I make a few bucks if you buy through my links. Doesn’t change what I tell you. Here’s the full affiliate note.

Two tools to use before you hit buy

Run the numbers before you fall for the photos.

• Landed cost calculator: the doll, shipping, duty and tax for the US or Canada, in one number. The sticker price is never what you pay.
• Can I lift it?: plug in a doll’s weight and see how it stacks up against 51 lb (23 kg), roughly the most a person should lift on their own, even in perfect conditions (electrician brain, I have to know this stuff).

Canada, the US, and adults only

I’m in Canada and most of you are in the US. Prices here are in US dollars, plus Canadian dollars when a seller actually lists them. I talk about customs on both sides of the border.

This site is adults only. Petite is fine, childlike is not, and you won’t find a mini doll here. Here’s who I am and where I stand.

Pick the type you want first, then pick the face.

Cheers, Craig
