Choosing a masturbator: torso or compact?

The difference between a torso and a compact masturbator in feel, proportions, weight, storage and care, and how to keep both hygienic.

Choosing a masturbator: torso or compact?

Not everyone wants or can have a thirty-kilo doll in the house. A masturbator offers the same material and, in the case of a torso, the same finish as a full doll, in a size that fits in a drawer or wardrobe. This article helps you choose between the two forms in our range and explains how to care for them properly.

Torso

A torso is the upper body or hips of a doll at true-to-life size, without head, arms and legs. The models in our range are 77 to 86 cm long and weigh 12 to 26 kilos. They are made of the same TPE as the full dolls of the same brand, with an internal skeleton that holds the shape; the DutchDoll torsos have the same gel breasts and finish as the full-size DutchDoll models. The feel is therefore identical to that of a full doll; what is missing is the face and the possibility of posing. A torso is the choice for anyone who wants realism without the weight and space of a full doll.

Compact masturbator

A compact masturbator consists of a few body parts at reduced scale: for example hips with vagina and anus, or buttocks with penis and anus. The proportions are deliberately less realistic than those of a torso, the weight is around three to four kilos and the price is a fraction of a torso’s. It fits in a drawer or bag, is clean and dry in a minute and can be stored without any aids. For anyone who mainly cares about size, weight and price, or who wants to experience how TPE feels before investing in a torso or doll, a compact masturbator is the logical start.

Care

For both forms the same applies: clean after every use with lukewarm water and a mild soap or cleaning spray, then dry thoroughly. Rinse a compact masturbator through and let it air-dry. With a torso with fixed openings a drying rod is indispensable; residual moisture is the only real cause of odour and mould. TPE is then lightly powdered, silicone is not. Use only water-based lubricant.

Storage

Store a compact masturbator dry in a clean cloth or its own box, away from other TPE products (different TPE blends can stick to each other). Lay a torso on a soft surface or in a wardrobe, not on one side for long, and away from heat and sunlight.

Our advice

If you know you eventually want a full doll but are still hesitating, start with a torso from the same brand: you get to know the material and the care routine, and the experience comes close to that of a full doll. If you are mainly looking for something small, light and affordable and realistic proportions matter less, choose a compact masturbator.
