Most of the time, feeling bad after buying something is not needed.
And being hard on yourself for a choice in the past does not help. Learning from it (and maybe helping some else avoid the same mistake) is what matters.
When I bought my first real life sex doll with huge breasts (BBW sex doll to be exact), I thought I knew everything.
You know--I checked the details... looked at photos... and felt sure about my choice.
On paper, it looked perfect.
In real life? Yikes... a few things were different than I expected.
But whatever, nothing really went wrong. Really.
Here are 9 things I would do differently with my next realistic sex doll--not because I regret, but because I learned.

1. Lighten the Load (Literally)
My current BBW doll (Big Beautiful Women) is beautiful and very realistic.
But moving 90 pounds of "dead weight" is like carrying 300 pounds when you try to walk through a hallway or pose her for a session.
Yes... I learned the hard way.
For my next sex doll, I'm definitely aiming for something under 65 or 70 pounds. Some people from doll forums even suggest those under 35kg (about 77lbs). Hmm... let's see.
2. Prioritize Removable Inserts
You know what? Cleaning my realistic BBW sex doll can take 20 minutes to a full hour. I have to wash, douche, dry, and powder her after every use.
Dragging her into the shower and keeping water out of her neck joints and skeleton is hard. Like... it really ruins the "afterglow."
Next time, I am absolutely insisting on removable sex organs. Being able to wash the private parts real quick at the sink makes cleaning much easier.
3. Built-in Heating or Better Warm-up Tools
Silicone is a fantastic material, but it is cold to the touch.
And currently, I have to use heating blankets for 45 minutes just to get her to a human temperature, which really requires some advance planning.
So, probably, next time, I will look for dolls with internal heating systems or at least better USB warming sticks. I heard that some high-end models can stay at around 100 degrees.
That would be a life-saver for sure!
4. Upgrade to a Silicone Head (Even on TPE Bodies)
One thing I noticed with budget or stock dolls is that the faces can sometimes look stiff or unnatural.
Don't laugh, mate. If only you see her "terrified" or "dead behind the eyes" look, it is not exactly what you want staring at you when you turn off the lights. LOL
For the new girl, I'm going to splurge on a high-quality silicone head upgrade.
Even if the body is TPE for a softer feel, having a realistic face with better features and makeup makes a big difference. I think…

5. Hollow Breasts for Longevity
Don't get me wrong, I love the feel and weight of solid silicone. But over time, heavy, large breasts can start to sag or even tear because the material is so dense.
My chubby sex doll is still in good shape, but I can already see how the weight pulls on the skin, especially when she stays in certain poses for too long.
From what I learned in the community, hollow or gel breasts hold up much better over time, especially for larger sizes. So, I will get that, no matter what!
6. Better Foot Care and Shower Sandals
For those who don't know, adult sex dolls have metal bolts in their feet so they can stand.
The first time I gave my BBW girl a bath, those bolts scratched the surface of my bathtub. I had to buy a repair kit just to fix the damage from one 20-minute cleaning session.
Yep... lesson learned. So for my next doll, I will buy a pair of beach sandals or use a thick bath mat before she even arrives. I already have one now, but it is just for my BBW cutie.
7. Strategic Storage (Goodbye, Giant Crate!)
When my life size sex doll doll arrived, she came in a five-foot-tall cardboard box that looked like I was receiving a grandfather clock or a large family heirloom. It was embarrassing, honestly.
Next time, I will make sure to tell the manufacturer to ship her in a ski bag or a long, plain storage box. Is that possible? Ha!
I think a dedicated discreet storage bag makes everything feel more private and less awkward, and more like a personal hobby.
8. Pre-ordering the Maintenance Kit
I made the mistake of using dish soap on my first real doll with big boobs, only to learn later that it can damage the material and make it sticky. Talk about bad luck...
I also did not have enough cornstarch or renewal powder ready, which led to some very sticky situations. Ugh!
So, next time, I will have a full maintenance kit ready before my sex toy arrives.
You know--those antibacterial toy cleaners (no dish soap), water-based lube, a brush for her wig, renewal powder, and other basic care items.

9. Managing the "Post-Nut" Logistics
The reality of owning a full body sex doll is that the fun ends when it is time to clean her.
Yeah... cleaning at 2AM in the bathroom, naked and staring in the mirror, is not fun.
So, to make it less of a chore, I will use condoms more often (especially female condoms, which some people find easier to use) to keep the inside cleaner.
Final Thoughts
I don't have any regrets about the mistakes I made with my first fat sex doll. For me, they were lessons that will help me with my new one.
For anyone thinking about their first or next love doll, remember: mistakes are normal. Every choice teaches something.
At the end of the day, learning and improving is the real reward here.
P.S I won't replace my first love. Yep... My silicone sex doll quality is topnotch!
FAQs
Should I go for TPE sex dolls or silicone sex dolls for my first sex toy?
Whether silicone or TPE materials, both can give great sexual pleasure, but the realistic experience is different. High-quality TPE can feel soft and stretchy, especially if you like plump breasts, real human skin, big ass, slender waist, realistic details, and thick thighs like a real person.
Premium silicone, on the other hand, keeps real human proportions and offers lifelike features such as realistic big breasts, wide hips, unique body shapes, and real skin. Though, it feels firmer and a bit heavier, similar to my size BBW sex doll.
Do trusted manufacturers offer discreet shipping and shipping protection?
Yes. Trusted manufacturers of in-stock dolls, such as SY Doll and Irontech Doll, often offer free global shipping and shipping protection for the life of the product. These sellers also sell sex doll torsos, body-safe male masturbators, and other adult products.
