What You Should Know Before Buying a Reborn Doll

The materials used to make the reborn doll are critical. Three types of materials are commonly used, namely Gentle Touch Vinyl, Flex Touch Vinyl and Silicone.

light touch vinyl:

Gentle Touch vinyl dolls are made entirely of vinyl. The material ensures that the skin of the bay looks very real. According to the artist at Rebirth, vinyl makes babies look comfortable by helping them shape wrinkles and chubby cheeks. It can also be easily shaped into baby skin, making it more anatomically and visually accurate. Dolls made from vinyl are also more durable and don’t require chalking. Vinyl skin feels like baby skin when cuddled or snuggled, and is a great option for anyone planning to play with it because of its high wear resistance. The material is also a lot cheaper and you can get it for the price of an actual reborn doll.

Flexible touch vinyl:

Flex Touch vinyl dolls are a combination of vinyl and silicone, and it’s the closest to silicone that a vinyl doll can get. The fingers and skin are rocky and snug, meaning when you bend your baby’s skin, it springs back like real baby skin. It also has the quality of a vinyl doll, so it’s more durable than regular silicone dolls, and it’s solidly resistant to wear and tear. The structure and mold of the doll also look realistic. This doll is also cheaper than a silicone doll and has the quality of a silicone doll. It can be used for all purposes and is a reasonable choice.

silicone:

Silicone as a material also gives the doll a realistic look. Compared to other materials, this material feels most like baby skin and is suitable for those who prefer to collect these dolls rather than play with it. This material, which is so similar to baby skin, also comes at a price. This material is extremely wearable. “Parents” are advised not to bend the doll’s fingers beyond a certain point. Even overuse of pacifiers and bottles can cause oral wear. Due to its fragile nature, extra care must be taken when giving it to children. The dolls are also very expensive, ranging from $200 to over $1,000. These dolls are excellent collectibles, but if you plan to play with them, other materials are preferable.
