>I bought a relatively expensive Piper dolls silicone Akira and the asshole tore the moment I stretched the legs. The arms also tore to shit where they connect to the shoulders after a few rotations. I had the thing for 3 days before it was shredded in several places. If you put on the right clothes, you can cover the damage, but they are extremely tender.

Quite an eye opening doll thread in /b/ the other day. Even with the reinforced assholes, they're still tearing when spreading the legs. Its not just an issue with Piper, there are countless accounts of it happening with many brands. The Dolltochina vendor even has a notice on their site to warn customers to be very careful with silicone dolls as they're fragile and prone to tearing. Silicone is just a shit material in a lot of ways. It has benefits, like making the doll lighter, holding more detail etc, but is it worth the shit durability and firmness... Especially for 2-4x the price of TPE.
