Why torsos are popular
Torsos are the practical entry point: they cost less than full dolls, weigh far less, fit small spaces and are much easier to wash and dry. They do not offer the experience of a whole body, which is the main trade-off. See format comparison and doll vs masturbator vs torso.

Frequently asked questions
01Are torsos worth buying?
For many buyers yes: cheaper, lighter and easier to clean and store, but less realistic as a whole body.
02How heavy is a torso?
Much lighter than a full doll, but weights vary by model, so check listings.
03Do torsos need powder?
TPE torsos usually benefit from powder; follow the maker's advice.
04Can I upgrade to a full doll later?
You would buy a new doll; a torso cannot become a full body.
