1. What is STPE
In the context of love dolls, STPE stands for Soft Thermoplastic Elastomer, or Super Thermoplastic Elastomer. This is a new material used by some manufacturers recently to make sex dolls. It’s an upgrade from the traditional TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer).
It combines a bit of the realism of silicone with the ease of TPE, offering users an unprecedented experience.
Its tear resistance, strong elasticity, minimal oil secretion, and realistic details make it a cutting-edge product in the sex doll’s world.
2. Advantages of STPE and main differences with traditional TPE
- Tear resistant. STPE gives doll owners the freedom to handle them however they like. It can withstand extreme stretching that other materials, like TPE, simply can’t manage without tearing. After 30 days of extreme stretching, it showed no signs of damage boasting durability up to eight times greater than conventional TPE dolls.
- Less oily. Due to the reduced oil secretion of STPE, it requires simpler and easier maintenance compared to its predecessor, TPE. Less mess, less stress!
- More realistic. Thanks to innovative spraying techniques used in STPE, it achieves a bew level of realism in body details in comparison to TPE.
- Excellent resistance to deformation. This material maintains its shape over long periods without deforming. The STPE love doll in the video was subjected to a weight of 15kg for an extended period without flinching. It resisted deformation and even returned to its original state.
- Eco friendly and easy to maintain. As it contains fewer harmful chemicals, STPE is more eco-friendly compared with TPE. Being less oily also makes maintenance easier, as it requires less powder.
