Which Sex Doll Hands Are Best For Your Doll When people buy a doll, the hands don't cross their minds, and within weeks they're a continual irritation. Same script each time: the doll gets ordered and delivered, looks great, and then trying to pose the hands exposes fingers that are stiff, floppy or breakable. The most common complaint from first-time owners is also totally avoidable, provided you grasp the two main types of hands before you order. Fine for Light Dolls, a Problem for Heavy Ones You'll find standard wire hands more often, and they're also cheaper. Thin metal wire, one per finger, embedded in soft TPE or silicone: that's how they're constructed, and they're designed to bend easily for posing. The fingers can be positioned into a variety of shapes since the wire is thin enough to be elastic, and the soft material around it looks natural. For a light doll they're fine, and if the hands don't see much use they're perfectly adequate. With a substantial doll, nevertheless, they become a problem. When a Finger Snaps, There's No Easy Fix Wire that has a limited lifespan is the complication with standard wire hands. It can only bend so many times before it snaps, and once it snaps, the finger goes floppy and there's no easy way to fix it. The wire inside the finger is thin, and the continual pressure of holding a pose, or the weight of the doll's arm, or just the ordinary handling of the doll over time, is enough to break it. A year or two is how long other purchasers get before the wires fail, though some report fingers breaking within a few months. Failure is coming either way, and it's a matter of when rather than if. Fifty to a Hundred Pounds Extra The upgrade is articulated hands. Instead of a single wire, they use individual stainless steel finger joints, each with a small pivot letting the finger bend at multiple points. Much stronger than wire, this setup holds a pose without putting strain on the material around the joints. Articulated hands are more pricey, usually by fifty to a hundred pounds depending on the manufacturer, but they're worth the upgrade for almost every buyer. The difference in durability and poseability is massive. Poses That Last The first benefit is pose-holding. The wire can't keep tension, so wire hands tend to sag over time; articulated hands stay in position because each joint is built to hold. The doll can therefore grip objects, rest her hand on her hip, or hold a pose for photography without the fingers drooping. Enormous, this, for purchasers who photograph their dolls, given that hands are one of the most expressive parts of a pose. Why Heavy Dolls Break Wire Hands Faster The second upside lies in durability. Articulated hands don't have the same wire fatigue difficulty, because the joints are made of stainless steel and the pivots are designed to last. Wire is far less durable than the joints, so snapping risk drops dramatically, but the material around the joints can still wear over time. Constant strain on the wire hands of a 45kg doll means they'll break faster than on a lighter doll, making this matter even more with substantial dolls. Spot the Difference if You Know What to Look For Third, articulated hands look more realistic in poses. Because the material isn't properly supported by the wire, bent wire hands tend to have a marginally rubbery look. Squashed-into-position looks are replaced by more defined fingers when articulated hands hold the finger shape more crisply. If you know what to look for, the difference between a wire hand and an articulated hand is obvious, and it's most apparent in photographs. Gesturing, Pointing, Holding and Gripping With articulated hands the doll feels more complete, and that's upside number four. A doll with articulated hands can gesture, point, hold and grip in ways a wire-handed doll merely can't, the hands being one of the most expressive parts of the body. This adds a completely new dimension to posing, because the doll can interact with props, hold objects, and generate dynamic compositions that wouldn't be possible otherwise. The upside is considerable for photographers and roleplay enthusiasts. Downside One: The Cost Articulated hands cost more, which is the first disadvantage. They're more expensive, and if you're acquiring on a tight budget, the additional fifty to a hundred pounds might be enough to push the total out of your range. Still, the long run favours the upgrade nearly every time, as a broken wire hand to replace, or floppy fingers to endure, is ordinarily worse than the upfront cost. Downside Two: A little Stiffer Fingers Some additional stiffness compared to wire hands is the second drawback. More resistance to movement than wire is what you get from joints designed to hold a pose. Posing benefits from the hand staying where you put it, but you'll put a bit more effort into positioning the fingers. Wire hands that bend readily spoil some customers, who then find this annoying. The trade-off is trivial, and most purchasers adjust in a few days. Handling Articulated Hands Carefully Articulated hands can be a little more breakable than wire hands in a distinct way, which is the third drawback. The joints are strong, but the connections between the joints and the material can at times come loose, and if a finger is wrenched out of position, the joint can pop out and need to be reinserted. It occurs, although less often than wire breakage, and you should know about it before acquiring. Stick to a straightforward routine: respect the positions the fingers don't want to go into, and invariably support the hand properly while you move it. Chunkier Fingers on Petite Dolls A fourth disadvantage: articulated hands are often a little bigger than wire ones. The extra joints take up space, and the fingers can look a bit chunkier as a result. This is usually trivial, and most purchasers don't notice, but on smaller dolls, the difference can be apparent, and if you're purchasing a petite doll with fragile proportions, the articulated hands might look somewhat out of place. A fast question to the retailer, whether the articulated hands on a precise doll are scaled proportionally, is worth asking since some producers handle this better than others. Think About the Replacement Cost The practical advice for customers deciding between wire and articulated hands is direct: purchase articulated. The single best upgrade you can make to the doll's functionality is articulated hands, which, though more expensive, save you from damaged fingers and drooping poses. If you're on an incredibly tight budget and won't pose the hands at all, wire hands are the only justifiable purchase, and even then the inevitable replacement cost deserves thought. What to Do if Wire Fingers Break A further question is what to do when the fingers break on a doll you already have with wire hands. Some cases are repairable, which is the decent news; you push a new wire through the finger, or use a small amount of TPE repair compound to reinforce the joint. Is it a permanent fix? Seldom. The repair is rarely as great as the original, and the finger will likely snap again within a few months. If you're committed to keeping the doll long-term, purchasing a replacement pair of articulated hands is generally a better investment than attempting to repair wire ones. Avoiding Metal From Grinding A maintenance consideration is worth knowing about for purchasers of a doll with articulated hands. Keep the joints clean and dry, as moisture can make the metal corrode and the joints seize up. After each use, wipe the hands down and get them thoroughly dry, and be most cautious when the doll has been in contact with water or cleaning products. To keep the joints moving smoothly, and keep metal from grinding against the surrounding material, use a small quantity of silicone-based lubricant on them every few months. Which Hands Look Better? The two hand types differ visually, and that's worth a few words. Smoother and softer, slightly, wire hands tend to look that way because the material surrounding the wire is ongoing. With articulated hands you get noticeable joint lines, and some purchasers like them less. Normally the joints are hidden under a thin layer of material, but bent fingers can show them, a trade-off worth knowing about if you care about visual realism. In complicated poses they look more like real hands, which is regularly enough to justify the trade-off. An Upgrade That Pays for Itself Many Times Over Articulated hands win almost every time; that's the bottom line. The extra cost is small compared to the frustration of damaged fingers, and they're more durable, more poseable and more realistic in photos. Buying a new doll? Specify articulated hands in the order. Check whether a used doll has articulated hands and factor that into the cost. Numerous times over, the upgrade pays for itself; that's true either way.
