Though a touch more taboo than other toys, there are many reasons to dive into the world of pleasure dolls.
For those who are looking for a more “natural” experience during masturbation, threesome surrogates, or even just for companionship, these life-sized toys definitely have a lot to offer!
And during the past few years, love dolls have evolved from primitive blow-up dolls (that were really just glorified beach balls, really) to articulated uncanny silicone replicas. Of course, this has driven the prices through the roof, but there are also still plenty of great cheap Realdoll alternatives available as well.
So throughout this article, we’ll cover affordable options, small torsos, as well as life size sex dolls for both men AND women.
There are clearly more female options to pick from, but we’ll also cover a few great silicone male sex doll options for women and gay folks as well.
So whether you’re just looking to make masturbation feel more natural or you’re in for a full-on sex android, you’re bound to find something that’ll tickle your fancy!
Why go with Platinum Silicone Sex Dolls over the even cheaper TPE & standard silicone dolls?
Unfortunately, cheap silicone and TPE dolls not only deteriorate at a much faster rate than platinum silicone dolls but are also more prone to harboring mold and bacteria, no matter how well you care for them. This isn’t optimal, especially when you’re spending such a large sum of money.
Platinum Silicone, on the other hand, is much more durable, entirely body-safe, easier to clean, and a much better overall investment—especially if you’re planning on getting your freak on with them! And you won’t have to replace them as often as TPE dolls, saving you a ton of money in the long run.
The ONLY reason you should opt for cheap TPE dolls instead of silicone dolls is for the unique case where you’re looking for a doll for photography, cuddling, & other non-sexual practices since TPE is quite squishy and comfy compared to most cheaper silicones.

That being said, here’s our list of the best sex dolls for men and women, not necessarily from worst to best, because everyone’s needs and budgets are different.

Fleshlight Holders
If you’re looking to get a more natural experience during masturbation, especially when it comes to positions, Fleshlight holders might be a pretty good and affordable life size sex doll alternative.
These Fleshlight holders are meant to be more functional than realistic.
So you won’t get a realistic-looking replica of a human being here. You’ll only get more natural positions during masturbation. And sometimes that’s all one might need!
They’re also great options if you have to keep things on the DL since no one will suspect anything if they discover these nondescript mounts.
The cheapest option available is the official Shower Mount.
All you have to do is to unscrew the bottom part of your favorite hardshell Fleshlight and replace it with this suction cup adapter.
The angle of your male toys can be adjusted and locked into place and the suction cup is very stable on smooth surfaces such as tiles and glass. There’s also an adapter that fits into the uniquely shaped shell of the Flight strokers included with every suction cup.
If you want to take things to the ground ( or bed ), you’ll probably prefer the Liberator Mounts.
The On a Mission mount is perfect if “missionary” is your go-to position. Otherwise, if you’d rather go “Doggy style”, the aptly named Top Dog mount should fit the bill better.
These luxury mounts are fun to integrate whether you’re using it solo or with someone else. They’re also both great options if you feel like enacting your threesome fantasies without the risk of adding an extra party to your already solid team ( Or weirding your partner out early-on with a full-blown realistic sex doll ).
Both models are also very easy to clean.
Wiping with a bit of soap and water should be enough for most situations. And when we say “most” it’s only because we know how creative you guys can get!
Notye Sex Doll Torsos
If RealDoll’s silicone torsos are calling your name but the price tag is telling you to get a second job, Notye offers a nice entry-level range of torsos!
The biggest selling point is that Notye uses platinum-cure silicone, just like RealDoll, but at a lower price.
That means you’re still getting the durability, longevity, and easier cleaning we want from a high-end silicone sex toy, without paying quite as much for the privilege.
And Notye doesn’t skimp on customization, either.
You get three skin tones compared with two on RealDoll’s comparable torsos, and certain models can also be ordered with different pubic-hair options!
The range is also much more varied than you might expect from a cheaper alternative.
Some Notye torsos include legs and feet, giving leg lovers something closer to the lower half of a full-size doll, while others extend upward to include the breasts. Then there are the more compact options that strip things back to the essentials, offering a realistic torso without surrounding you in several extra pounds of silicone.
And if you only have a particular body part in mind, NOTYE also sells individual silicone body parts, so you don’t necessarily have to buy an entire torso to get the experience you’re after.
One of the more interesting options is a smaller, highly realistic model with a particularly impressive range of customization. Depending on the configuration, you can choose details such as skin tone, labia, and pubic hair, and some versions can even be fitted with a suction vagina.
Cheaper alternatives almost always come with a catch or two.
For one, these don’t come with removable, easily washable vaginas as the RealDoll models do.
Notye also doesn’t currently make male torsos. So while these are a compelling alternative to RealDoll if you’re shopping for a female silicone torso, anyone specifically looking for a male sex torso will still need to look toward RealDoll, which are the only ones who make a body-safe male torso.
RealDoll Deluxe Half Torso
If a full-size sex doll is a little more commitment ( and a little more full-on furniture ) than you’re looking for, a torso gives you a surprisingly convincing middle ground.
You get the realistic body, skin, and penetration experience without having an entire human-shaped silicone roommate taking up your bedroom.
And when it comes to torsos, RealDoll’s Deluxe Half Torso is about as close to the real thing as you’re going to get!
The biggest reason is the material.
While plenty of cheaper torsos and mini sex dolls are made from porous materials that can become sticky, degrade, or turn into a bacteria-filled nightmare over time, RealDoll uses high-quality platinum-grade silicone. It’s soft, incredibly realistic, durable, and perhaps most importantly, much easier to keep clean and sanitize.
You also get a little taste of the customization that makes RealDoll’s full-size dolls so popular.
You can choose your preferred skin tone and labia style, letting you personalize the torso without jumping straight into the much larger price tag of a complete doll.
The female insert itself is removable, too, which is a massive practical advantage.
Rather than trying to scrub an entire half-torso every time things get messy, you can simply remove the insert, wash it separately, and put it back once everything is clean and dry.
And if you want to take the experience a step further, RealDoll also offers an optional AI insert for a more immersive experience.
How to clean the RealDoll Deluxe Half Torso
This is one of those situations where removable parts make life considerably easier.
Simply remove the insert and wash it separately with mild soap and water. Rinse it thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before putting it back into the torso.
Because the insert is made from silicone, you can also sanitize it when you want a deeper clean by throwing it in a bit of boiling water.
RealDoll Male Half Torso
RealDoll’s half-torso concept isn’t just for people looking for a female body. The RealDoll Male Half Torso takes the same basic idea and puts it directly into your bedroom.
Like its female counterpart, this is designed for people who want the realism of a RealDoll without having to buy and store a full-size sex doll.
And, thankfully, RealDoll didn’t cheap out on the important stuff.
The Male Half Torso is made from the same kind of high-quality platinum-grade silicone that makes RealDoll’s products stand out from the cheaper torso options on the market.
That means you get a soft, lifelike material that’s durable, body-safe, and considerably easier to maintain than the porous materials commonly found in bargain-priced sex dolls and torsos.
The result is essentially a condensed RealDoll experience: you get the body and the realistic silicone without needing to find somewhere to park an entire six-foot silicone person.
The male version is also available in two different colors, giving you a little bit of choice when it comes to the look of your torso.
Unlike some of RealDoll’s other customizable products, however, there aren’t different penis options to choose from here, so you won’t be building a completely bespoke male anatomy package.
A huge update over their older models of male torso is that you don’t have to choose between a working dick or anus anymore!
This male torso comes with both a great dildo end just as good as their Realcock 2 range, and a penetrable anus for all who like to go male spelunking!
Affordable Platinum Silicone Sex Dolls
Let’s face it, the best sex dolls you can get today won’t necessarily be the cheapest things around. Especially if you’re looking for a life-size sex doll.
There are still a few things to keep in mind when shopping for cheap silicone sex dolls from Asian brands.
First of all, not all silicone sex dolls are actually made of good-quality silicone. What you really want is platinum-cured silicone.
Other than Realdoll and the option below Sanhui, Zelex, EX dolls, Starpery, and Piper Dolls are the rare brands offering this level of quality.
Anything else will yellow, dry up, and crumble over time and just won’t be as hygienic overall because of microtears harboring bacteria.
Another thing to note while customizing your silicone dolls:
While removable inserts are much easier to clean & fully sanitize, the integrated ones usually feel better and will have less of a tendency to break apart. So it really depends on whether you prefer ease of cleaning over sensation.
To clean an integrated orifice, a douche with your favorite toy cleaner or mild soap should do the trick just fine. Just make sure to douche once more with clear water to rinse your doll out after and to fully dry them out before storing.
Also, ready-made dolls will usually ship quicker than custom models since they don’t have to be assembled before shipping.
Fanreal’s Life-Size Sex Doll Collection
Fanreal makes a huge variety of gorgeous and realistic sex dolls.
One of the first things you’ll notice is how much attention Fanreal puts into its beautiful head sculpts and realistic bodies.
They come in a wide range of body types and ethnicities that should satisfy most folks.
And they don’t only look the part; they feel the part as well, with details like gel-filled breasts, which give them a softer, squishier, and noticeably jigglier feel than the rest of the silicone body.
The customization options are better than what Realdoll offers ( though Irontech has them beat on this one! ).
You can choose between hard and soft silicone heads. The hard heads allow for more detailed facial features and a more realistic appearance, while the softer heads sacrifice a little detail but offer more flexibility for oral play.
Then there’s the hair. Fanreal offers an impressive range of hairstyles, including wigs, implanted synthetic hair, and implanted human hair.
You get three skin tones to choose from, along with a huge selection of eye colors. You can also customize details such as nipple color and nail color, giving you plenty of smaller options to fine-tune the doll’s appearance.
Just keep in mind that while you can’t customize the doll’s breast size directly, you can opt for a body with the size you like and customize from there. So I suggest first picking a model with the breast size you like, independent from its face or skin tone and just switch it to the options you’d like in the customization options.
The customization gets even more extensive when you get to the intimate anatomy.
Fanreal offers a wide variety of vagina textures and depths, along with different labia colors. You can opt for fixed vaginas, removable versions that make cleaning considerably easier or even an auto-suck vagina for those who want a little more functionality built into the doll.
Even the pubic hair can be customized. You can go completely bald or choose from three different implanted pubic-hair styles!
They also make 2 beautiful but pretty limited male sex doll options.
These two are basically the same if you don’t count the different heads.
Both are white, 5’7″, with 7 inch dongs, so if you like a caucasian short king with big dick energy, they’re definitely worth a shot! Especially in a market with so little body-safe options when it comes to male dolls.
Irontech & Real Lady Dolls
These might be the best modern sex dolls available today.
If you want your silicone dolls to beat even the most realistic sex dolls from Realdoll in looks and sheer customization options, Irontech is where it’s at!
Hell, they’re so lifelike they’ve become a favorite for doll photographers as well!
They come with all the customization options you’d expect from Realdoll ( or any of the competition, really ) for cheaper!
For the head, you can choose a more detailed hard or softer silicone option for blowjobs. They also make a ultra-realistic ROS heads with details like teeth, tongue, a movable jaw, with optional heating and suction.
You can choose between two silicone densities for the body, five skin tones ( which is more than any other brands ), loads of eye, nipple size & color, nail, hair ( wig, implanted, dreadlocks ), and implanted pubic-hair, and breast options.
The intimate bits are DEEPLY customizable too, with different vagina textures, depths, labia colors, and fixed or removable options. You can even upgrade to an auto-suck vagina or IronAI Bionic VaginaX which is insanely feature-packed and realistic.
Irontech also makes the Real Lady sex dolls, which is their slighly more premium option.
The skin detail is even more impressive on these dolls.
They offer all the same customization options, but also add the option of solid breasts ( for implant lovers, I guess ), gel filled, and ultra soft silicone. You can also choose softer more jiggly options for the booty as well!
The biggest advantage here is that the love hole placements ( or LPH as known in the industry ) is way more realistic and anatomically correct. A detail that can be tricky to get right in articulated dolls.
They also make some of the best male sex dolls for women and gay men!
Before they discontinued them, a lot of the old male models from Realdoll looked a little awkward ( hell, a lot of them kinda look like the old owner too ), but these bad boys really up the visuals to a new level, making them the new standard in silicone male dolls.
They’re customizable just like their female dolls and, of course, you can choose between differently sized dicks as well!
So if you’re looking for the best male sex dolls you can get, Irontech might be your best bet.
Realdoll
The new RealDolls have been the standard for a long time, and though the competition is getting pretty fierce, they still hold an important place in the life-size sex doll market.
These dolls are also much lighter than their predecessor, so they’re easier to carry around and pose. Their bodies are also much more durable this time around & the skin also feels more realistic and less glossy than the Original RealDolls as well.
It’s not only the skin that feels more lifelike. The breasts and asses now feel realistically soft and squishy compared to the more rigid silicone found on the O.G. RealDoll.
Abyss Creation’s RealDoll was always on top of the competition when it came to customization.
With the newer models, you have tons of extra options to personalize and build the perfect doll to mirror your very specific tastes. Though their best competition has now surpassed them on that front.
Also, a new feature available when customizing your doll is the removable and interchangeable inserts.
You can choose from a variety of natural-looking inserts.
The removable vaginal inserts are much easier to clean and give you the possibility of switching inserts around for new looks and sensations.
This coupled with the magnetically interchangeable faces will let you reap the benefits of multiple dolls without having to spend thousands of dollars on an extra doll.
So if you need all the variety you can get, well… you got it!
They used to have a nice selection of male sex doll models. But sadly, these have been discontinued. But there’s a silver lining.
They now make a great male torso ( mentioned above ), which is basically the only silicone platinum-cured male torso sold today.
Plus, if you would like to have a feel for the realism of their male doll selection ( past and present ) without investing in pounds of silicone, you can always get the RealCock 2 dildos, which are some of the most realistic body-safe dildos ever made!
