What are gel breasts on sex dolls?
Gel breasts are found on more realistic sex dolls have either a TPE or silicone exterior that contains a special gel. They were developed for the silicone doll market since some buyers find pure silicone breasts too hard and heavy, and air-pocket breasts less realistic. They are now common on TPE dolls.

Should I order gel breasts with my doll?
Here are the key advantages and disadvantages:
Pros
- Realism. Gel breasts are very close to being just like the real things. They carry their own weight, which makes them feel real.
- They have a natural ‘jiggle’ or ‘bounce’ that air-pocket or pure TPE breasts do not. Air-pocket breasts are somewhat reminiscent of balloons, while solid breasts jiggle a little too much.
- No air leaks – as can occasionaly occur in a doll with air-pocket breasts.
Cons
- Adds weight to the doll – which can be an issue for some.
- Only suitable for small/medium size breasts – ideally C cup to E cup. Bigger – and therefore heavier – gel breasts can stretcth the material, causing damage. Larger gel breasts would need a bra.
Do gel breasts leak?
The word ‘gel’ is somewhat misleading, since the gel used in gel breasts is not liquid – it’s just a very rubbery solid. As such, gel breasts do not leak.
What do owners think?
Reviewing the gel-breasted Siliko 150 on TDF, skra snarker said, “the breasts are incredible, this is the only doll I own, but I would be very surprised if anyone is doing Silicone better for the breasts.”
Do gel breasts add to the cost?
Gel breasts are now in the mainstream of both TPE and silicone dolls. Gel breasts are sometimes offered at no extra cost, as by Silicone Lovers.
Hollow Breast Love Dolls: Explained
A common alternative to the gel breast doll is the hollow breast love doll. As the name suggests, these have an air pocket inside. Hollow breasts are lighter and suit the tastes of some buyers. Others prefer solid breasts, since they are heavier and give slightly more of an ‘implant feel’ (although this detracts from the realism for some).
Hollow breasts are a particularly good choice for larger breasts, since it adds the level of realism.
Note that not all manufacturers offer gel or hollow breasts. In the case of dolls with smaller chests, they may simply be fully solid TPE (or silicone in some cases). For anything larger than a D cup, we recommend hollow or gel breasts.
