A reassuring companion and a sexy lover? Now you can have it all!

A blow-up doll can play many roles, not only in your everyday life, but also in your intimate life.

  • Enjoy companionship and emotional support: An inflatable doll is perfectly capable of compensating for your feelings of loneliness. The emotional support it gives you can help you overcome your troubles and calm your nerves.
  • Have a realistic experience: Blow-up dolls have all the same characteristics of a real person. Thanks to the high-quality material and realistic details, you’ll really think you’re spending time with a real woman.
  • Explore your fantasies: With your blow-up doll, you can give free rein to your fantasies without fear of being judged. You'll have complete freedom to discover new kinds of pleasures: the only limit is your imagination!
  • Improve your real-life relationship: The right inflatable doll can enhance the intimate bond that you share with your partner. Involve your doll in your regular routine to really spice things up. 
  • Increase your independence: Your blow-up doll will increase your sense of independence. You won’t have to rely on anyone else, as you’ll be in complete control of your love life and your sensuality.

Which position should I choose? Find the right doll for the right position

First of all, you'll need to decide which position you'd prefer for your doll. Inflatable dolls are generally available in two main positions: standing and seated. Let's take a look at the advantages of each.

Standing doll

Perfect for missionary aficionados. You'll be able to enjoy close eye contact with your doll. This model also lets you try out other positions, like the lotus position or spooning.

Seated doll

This kind of doll is perfectly suited to lovers of doggy style or girl-on-top

When making your choice, remember to think about what excites you most during sex: which position do you enjoy the most? Which gives you the most pleasure? That way, you can be sure you've made the right choice and that you're getting the most out of your new purchase.

How to choose a body type for your doll

Here at LOVE AND VIBES, we have a diverse range of dolls for you to choose from, meaning you’ll be able to find one that ticks all your boxes. Here’s a little overview of some models we offer:

The basic model

Frida blonde inflatable sex doll with green eyes

This is our most standard option, that offers the choice between realistic or inflatable extremities (hands and feet), with a face that remains rigid for a more realistic appearance. This model also possesses a non removable insert for the vagina and anus, assuring easy and immediate use.

The latest generation deluxe model

Miranda premium redhead inflatable sex doll with brown eyes

Very similarly to the basic model, our deluxe dolls stand out thanks to their use of top quality material, for guaranteed durability. What’s more, this version always comes with a rigid and realistic face, hands and feet, for an added touch of realness. Its main asset? A removable vagina and anus insert, allowing for a more advanced experience.

The XXL chest

True to its name, this model’s stand-out feature is its generous chest, for a seriously spectacular effect. You have the choice between an inflatable printed face or a hard, realistic version. What’s more, the orifices (the anus and vagina that are both connected) are designed to be used as is, or you can liven things up by adding accessories such as a pocket pussy or other inserts depending on what you desire.

The curvy model

Margaret curvy blow-up doll with vagina and mouth

Created for those who favour a voluptuous figure, our Curvy dolls come in two distinct silhouettes.

  • With a defined waist: Gifted with a defined waist, distinct hips and an exceptional bust, these dolls offer a penetrable vagina as is, or when inserting a pocket pussy, leaving you the option to be flexible when exploring different sensations.
  • Without a defined waist: Offers a more generous, rounded figure, with no particular definition around the waist area.

Available as basic or deluxe dolls, choosing the face (printed or realistic) perfects their unique look.

Models with a customisable insert

For a more budget friendly, fully inflatable option (head, hands and feet included), this range offers an ingenious piece of detailing: a slit in between the legs that makes penetration easier from the back and the front, or even allows for the insertion of particular accessories. This option lets you fully personalise your doll, whilst allowing you to stay within budget.

Every body type we propose is designed to cater to varying needs, whether that be someone who is looking for an ultra realistic doll, one that’s long lasting or one that allows you to personalise your experience. Take the time to define your priorities in order to help you pick the doll that will satisfy you on an aesthetic level as well as on a functional level.

Personalise your doll’s appearance

When you buy your doll, you can choose the features you like the most: hair, skin colour, mouth shape... By combining these options, you can create a doll that's just right for you. Here are the features you'll have to choose from:

Hair colour and style

Whatever your preference, you'll be able to find a hair colour that suits you. Choose a hairstyle (straight or curly, short or long) that will make your doll unique in your eyes. Whether you prefer  blonde or brunette, the choice is yours.

Skin colour

Black or white? Choose the colour of your doll's skin and enjoy ultra-realistic experiences with her.

Mouth

Do you prefer a closed mouth or a wide-open mouth? Don’t overlook these kinds of details when choosing your doll.

Opt for a male or trans doll

Among all the doll models available, we also carry male and transgender dolls.

Male doll

Our male dolls have the same exciting features as a real man. Chiselled abs, gorgeous face, erect penis…nothing is missing! These dolls are perfect for a solo experience or for couples. Choose from models with different penis sizes, skin tones and hairstyles.

Trans dolls

With breasts, a vagina and a penis, these dolls allow you to experiment with new sensations and, if you're in a couple, to add some spice to your regular partner play. There are models with different sizes of breasts, penises and hairstyles: it's up to you to opt for the perfect doll for you!

How can I personalise my doll?

You can dress your doll up and adorn her with your favourite accessories to make her your own and give her a unique personality. Here's how!

  • Clothes and lingerie: Depending on the mood you want to create, you can dress your doll in different styles: lingerie, fancy dress or sexy clothes. You can keep several outfits on hand to dress her up at a moment’s notice. You’ll feel like you’re spending time with a different partner every time! 
  • Wigs: By choosing wigs in different styles, you can transform your doll’s look for a new experience every time.
  • Accessories: Pick up some special accessories to make your sessions even more realistic. Use a USB hole warmer (for the doll's orifices) or a water-based lubricant to enhance your sensations during penetration. Don't forget to clean your doll after each use with a special cleaner to prolong its life and ensure perfect hygiene.

How much should I budget for my inflatable doll?

The price of your doll will depend on the features you choose and how realistic it is. Here are the main differences you'll need to consider when choosing the doll that best suits your needs.

  • Details and realism: The level of realism of your doll will determine its price. For example, a doll with advanced features such as lifelike hands and feet or removable orifices will cost more than a basic model. So it's up to you to decide what level of realism you can afford.
  • A quality doll: A high-quality doll is an investment. Think carefully about how you're going to use your doll to find the model that offers the best value for money. It would be a shame, for example, to invest in a model that doesn't suit your needs and that you won't be able to use for as long as you'd like.

Above all, the LOVE Team wants you to be able to buy the perfect companion. You’ll definitely find the perfect model in our wide range of inflatable dolls.
