Do i need to pay custom fees?

For the USA and most EU countries (including Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Finland and others) we ship Delivered Duty Paid: customs clearance and import duties are handled before delivery, so you normally pay nothing extra on arrival.

For Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Iceland, Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland, duties and taxes cannot be prepaid and may be collected separately by the courier before delivery. If you are unsure which rule applies to your destination, contact us before ordering and we will confirm it.

I need to change delivery time

If you need to change the delivery time, no worries. Once your order is processed, you'll receive a tracking number. Use it to contact the courier directly if the delivery time doesn't suit you

Will I receive photos of my doll before it ships?

For customized dolls, we will send you photos of your finished doll before shipping. Once you confirm, we’ll proceed with delivery. However, for dolls from our EU or US stock (identifier in the names), no photos are sent since these dolls are pre-made and stored in our warehouses, ready for immediate shipment exactly as shown in the product photos.

What is the difference between custom (made-to-order) and in-stock dolls?

Custom dolls are built for your order: you choose height, body, head, skin tone, hair, eyes and other options, production takes about 3 weeks and shipping 7 to 14 days, and you receive factory photos of your finished doll for approval before it ships.

In-stock dolls (marked USA Stock or EU Stock) are pre-made and stored in our warehouse. They ship within a few business days and arrive in about 2 to 7 business days, exactly as shown in the product photos, but they cannot be customized and no factory photos are sent.

Products & Customization

Materials, heads, hands, breasts, skeleton and the options you can choose.

What's the difference between soft head and hard head?

Soft heads are made from flexible, ultra-realistic silicone or TPE that feels more lifelike to the touch and allows for slight movement or compression. They often include implanted hair and movable jaw options for added realism.

Hard heads, on the other hand, are more rigid and durable, typically made with firmer silicone. While they don’t offer as much give or flexibility, they often allow for more precise facial detailing and are easier to clean and maintain.

Summary:

Soft head = more realistic feel, softer texture, often more expressive.

Hard head = more durable, easier to clean, better for makeup/styling precision.

What Is the Movable Jaw Feature?

The JLD Movable Jaw is a premium feature available on select dolls that allows the mouth to open and close realistically, just like a real person.

✅ Key Benefits:

- Functional Oral Movement: The jaw can open naturally, enhancing realism during oral interaction and posing.

- Better Expression for Photos: Perfect for lifelike facial expressions in photography or display.

- Anatomically Designed: Includes a soft tongue and realistic oral cavity for added detail and sensation.

- Durable & Flexible: Built with an internal hinge or joint system that allows movement while staying stable over time.

⚠️ Good to Know:

- Only available on specific head types, typically with silicone material.

- Always handle gently to avoid damaging the internal hinge or soft materials.

- Use water-based lube only if using for oral purposes, and clean thoroughly after use.

In short: The movable jaw brings your doll to life, both visually and functionally, adding a premium level of realism and interactivity.

What Are Articulated Hands in Sex Dolls?

Articulated hands are realistically jointed hands that contain an internal skeleton or frame, allowing independent finger movement, more natural posing, and enhanced durability.

✅ Key Benefits of Articulated Hands:

Lifelike Flexibility: Each finger can bend and pose individually, mimicking real hand movement.

Enhanced Realism: Perfect for photography or display, as the hands look natural even when resting or gripping.

Improved Durability: Stronger structure reduces the risk of finger wire breakage, which is common in basic dolls with non-articulated hands.

Better Grip & Expression: Enables your doll to hold items, pose gently, or rest her hands in more relaxed and natural positions.

🛠️ Materials & Structure:

Articulated hands are typically made with metal joints (like shown in the image) enclosed in TPE or silicone. They’re designed to replicate human bone articulation, often with 3 or more movable sections per finger.

Soft Hands vs. Hard Hands - What's the Difference?

Just like heads, sex dolls can come with soft or hard hands, each with unique benefits depending on the desired realism, durability, and use.

🧤 Soft Hands:

Made from ultra-soft TPE or silicone, they feel more realistic to the touch.

Better for gentle posing or close-up photography where realism matters.

Slightly squishy, mimicking the texture of a real human hand.

May be more delicate, especially around the fingers if not reinforced.

🛡️ Hard Hands:

Made from firmer silicone or layered materials, offering more structure.

More durable and resistant to damage during frequent handling or movement.

Typically better for holding poses or supporting objects.

Less lifelike feel compared to soft hands, but more practical for long-term use.

In short:

Soft hands = ultra-realistic feel, more delicate.

Hard hands = tougher, more structured, ideal for durability.

What’s the Difference Between Small, Hollow, and Gel-Filled Breasts?

Sex dolls come with different breast types to match your preference for realism, softness, and weight. Here’s how they compare:

🔹 Small Breasts

Naturally smaller in size (A or B cups typically).

Lighter and more compact, ideal if you prefer a petite or athletic doll build.

Can still be made with any internal material (solid, hollow, or gel-filled).

🔸 Hollow Breasts

Filled with air pockets, making them soft and squeezable.

Offer a jiggly, bouncy feel, similar to light natural breasts.

Lightweight: reduces overall doll weight.

More affordable, but can slightly deform over time with heavy use.

🟣 Gel-Filled Breasts

Filled with a special soft gel, closely mimicking the feel of natural breast tissue.

Heavier and more realistic: they move, bounce, and squish like real breasts.

Premium option for those who want ultra-realism and softness.

Slightly more expensive and adds weight to the doll’s chest.

Quick Summary:

Small: Firm & light, Light, Realism depends on fill

Hollow: Soft & Bouncy, Very light, Moderate Realism

Gel-Filled: Ultra-soft, lifelike jiggle, Heavier, High Realism

What Is a Gel Butt on a Sex Doll?

A Gel Butt is a premium feature where the doll’s buttocks are filled with a soft, jiggly gel material that closely mimics the feel, bounce, and softness of real human tissue.

✅ Key Benefits:

- Ultra-Realistic Feel: The gel filling makes the buttocks squishy and lifelike to the touch, similar to a real body.

- Natural Bounce & Movement: Moves and reacts just like real skin and fat when touched, slapped, or during use.

- More Comfort in Play: Feels better during intimate moments or when positioning the doll in different poses.

- Premium Experience: Often paired with soft hips and thighs for full lower-body realism.

⚠️ Good to Know:

- Available mostly on TPE dolls and select silicone models.

- Slightly heavier than standard solid hips, but worth it for the added realism.

- Handle with care to preserve the soft texture over time.

Summary: If you want a doll with a realistic, squeezable, and jiggly backside the Gel Butt upgrade is a must-have for the most lifelike experience.

What Is the EVO Skeleton?

The EVO Skeleton is our next-generation internal joint system that gives your doll more realistic, flexible, and durable movement , allowing for lifelike posing, better balance, and smoother articulation.

✅ Key Features:

- Double Jointed Shoulders & Knees: Enables your doll to hug, squat, kneel, cross legs, and pose naturally.

- Full Range of Motion: Advanced design allows for more human-like flexibility, especially in arms, back, hips, and neck.

- Stronger Core Frame: Built with upgraded stainless steel and reinforced joints for better durability and long-term use.

- Click/Lock System: Joints hold positions firmly during posing without collapsing, making photography and play much easier.

🧘 What It Means for You:

- More Realistic Poses: Perfect for photo shoots, positioning, or even just sitting/lying naturally.

- Increased Durability: Reduces wear on joints over time, fewer issues with loose limbs or misalignment.

- Better Balance: EVO skeletons are designed to maintain posture, whether standing or lying down.

Summary: The EVO Skeleton takes realism to the next level, giving your doll human-like motion, posing ability, and long-lasting strength from the inside out.

What Is Implanted Hair on a Sex Doll?

Implanted hair refers to individually rooted strands of hair that are manually inserted into the doll’s scalp, rather than using a removable wig. This technique creates a more natural and realistic appearance, especially when parting or styling the hair.

✅ Key Benefits of Implanted Hair:

Realistic Look & Feel: The hair appears to grow from the scalp, creating a natural hairline and part.

No Wig Slipping: Unlike wigs, implanted hair stays in place and won’t shift during use.

Style Versatility: You can comb, braid, or style the hair freely just like you would with natural hair.

Premium Touch: Often made with real human hair or high-quality synthetic fibers for a soft, luxurious feel.

🧠 Good to Know:

Implanted hair is typically available on silicone head dolls, as the material holds the hair better than TPE.

It’s more time-consuming and labor-intensive to produce, so dolls with implanted hair are usually in the premium price range.

Proper care is required, use mild shampoo and avoid pulling or tugging to extend the life of the hair.

How Realistic Are the Body Details? Can I Customize Them?

At Joy Love Dolls™, we go beyond just shape and size, our dolls are crafted with incredible attention to small, lifelike details that make them feel truly real. From freckles to fingernails, each element is designed with precision, and many are fully customizable in the product options.

🧬 Hyper-Realistic Body Features:

- Areola & Nipple Style: Select color, size, and texture during customization.

- Veining & Skin Texture: Optional skin detailing with subtle veins, pores, and soft skin creases for realism up close.

- Freckles, Moles & Beauty Marks: Add custom freckles or small marks exactly where you want them.

- Implanted Hair Options: Apply to eyebrows, pubic area, or even limbs for ultra-realistic looks (especially with silicone dolls).

🛠️ Fully Customizable in Product Options:

What Is the Sucking Vagina Feature?

Our Sucking Vagina feature is a high-tech upgrade available on select JLD™ dolls that delivers an automatic suction experience , designed to feel incredibly lifelike and immersive.

✅ Key Features:

- Automatic Suction Function: Built-in mechanism creates a gentle, rhythmic suction for added pleasure, simulating natural movement.

- Hands-Free Experience: Once activated, the system works on its own for maximum comfort and realism.

- Adjustable Settings: Some models include multiple intensity levels to match your personal preference.

- Internal Texturing: Combined with soft TPE or silicone and realistic textures, the experience is smooth, tight, and natural.

🧠 How It Works:

- Powered by a quiet motor (USB rechargeable or battery-powered, depending on the model).

- Activated by a button or remote (check your specific model for instructions).

- Works best with water-based lubricant to enhance comfort and realism.

Note: This feature is available on select high-end dolls only, check the customization options or contact support to see if your preferred model includes the sucking vagina upgrade.

Can I Use Lubricant with the JLD Vagina Insert?

Yes! you absolutely should! Using lubricant is highly recommended when using the JLD vagina insert to ensure comfort, realism, and to protect the material.

✅ Best Practices:

- Use only water-based lubricant - it's safe for both TPE and silicone materials.

- Avoid silicone-based or oil-based lubes, as they can damage the insert over time.

- Lubrication enhances the realism and prevents friction, making the experience smoother and more pleasurable.

- Clean the insert thoroughly after each use and allow it to dry before storing.

Tip: For the most realistic experience, gently warm the insert in warm water before use, then apply a generous amount of lube.

Will my doll include the clothing shown in the pictures?

The outfits and accessories featured in our product photos are primarily used for presentation purposes and are not typically included with the doll. Some brands may occasionally provide lingerie, but this is not guaranteed. If you’d like to dress your doll, you can explore our lingerie collection here for a wide range of styles designed to fit perfectly.

Silicone or TPE, which should I choose?

Silicone holds very fine facial and skin detail, is less porous, easier to keep clean and more heat and stain resistant. TPE feels especially soft to the touch and is usually more affordable. Many models let you choose the body material in the product options, and some combine a silicone head with a TPE body. The material is listed on every product page.

Will my doll look like the product photos?

The product photos show the real model from the manufacturer. For eligible made-to-order dolls you also receive factory photos of your own finished doll before it ships and can request corrections at that stage where possible. In-stock dolls ship exactly as pictured. Clothing and accessories in the photos are for presentation and are not usually included.

How heavy are the dolls and what size should I choose?

Weight depends on height, body type and material: a 150 cm model weighs around 27 kg, a 164 cm model around 40 kg and a 170 cm model around 45 kg, and curvy bodies weigh more. Think about where the doll will be stored and how easily you can move, dress and position it; larger dolls look impressive but are heavier to handle. The exact height and weight are listed on every product page so you can compare before ordering.

How should I clean and store my doll?

Clean the insert thoroughly after each use and let it dry before storing. Use only water-based lubricant; silicone-based or oil-based lubes can damage TPE and silicone. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions supplied with your doll. If you have questions about caring for your model, our support team can help.

Returns, Cancellations & Refunds

Return eligibility, cancellation fees, order changes and how refunds are handled.

What is your return policy?

Return eligibility depends on the product type. Unused toys and accessories may be returned within 30 days of delivery if they are unused, in original condition and packaging, and eligible under hygiene rules. Custom-made sex dolls are made for your order and are generally non-refundable once production has begun. Ready-to-ship (in-stock) dolls are not covered by the standard 30-day return unless specifically approved.

All returns must be approved by Joy Love Dolls before anything is sent back: email support@joylovedolls.com with your order number first. Damaged, faulty or incorrect products are always handled; contact us within 24 hours of delivery with photos.

Can I cancel my order?

Toys and accessories: most orders ship the same or next business day, so cancellation after confirmation is usually not possible, but unused items may be returned within 30 days of delivery.

Sex dolls: you may request cancellation within 24 hours of placing your order by emailing support@joylovedolls.com with your order number, full name and the email used for the order. A 20% cancellation fee may apply, so an approved cancellation receives an 80% refund. After 24 hours cancellation is generally no longer possible because production may already have started.

What is your order cancellation policy?

We have a 20% cancellation fee once an order is placed. This policy exists because all dolls are made to order.

We understand this can be frustrating, which is why we recommend reviewing your order carefully before confirming.

Can I modify my order after shopping?

Please review your order carefully before submission. Modifications are possible within the first 12 hours for a one-time fee of $79.00. Email us at support@joylovedolls.com for modifications.
