After receiving the sex dolls, some customers suspect that the height of the dolls they received is inaccurate. Few of them say that the dolls are shorter than the height they ordered. In fact, the measurement method is wrong. As a well-known sex doll brand, ESDoll has the responsibility to help customers who purchase sex dolls find the most correct way to measure the height of sex dolls in the sex doll industry.
When the doll is lying flat, bend its feet forward and measure it again. Please measure the height from head to toe (note: let the doll lie and the doll’s footboard straight front).
Why the Measurement Method Matters
Unlike living people who can stand upright and stretch to their full height, sex dolls rely on joint positioning, which affects how they are measured. If the doll is not placed properly, such as if the feet are not straight or the neck is slightly bent, then the measured height can be inaccurate, usually shorter than the actual advertised specification.
Many customers make the mistake of measuring their dolls while the legs or feet are bent, or while the doll is sitting or slouched. This can easily lead to discrepancies of several centimeters. To avoid confusion and ensure satisfaction with your product, it’s important to follow the correct method described below.
Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring a Sex Doll’s Height
- Lay the Doll on a Flat Surface: Choose a firm and even surface, such as a floor or a large table. Ensure that the doll’s spine is aligned straight and not curled or arched.
- Align the Head Properly: Make sure the doll’s head is in a neutral position—neither tilted forward nor backward. This helps ensure an accurate measurement from the very top of the skull.
- Position the Feet Correctly: One of the most overlooked steps is aligning the feet. Push the feet so the soles are pointing forward, extending the legs as straight as possible. The toes should not be curled or flexed backward.
- Measure from Top to Bottom: Use a measuring tape, preferably a tailor’s tape or a laser measure, and measure from the top of the head down to the heels (not toes). If using a tape, ensure it is taut and not sagging.
- Avoid Measuring While the Doll is Sitting or Standing (Unsupported): Due to balance and flexibility limitations, dolls should not be measured while standing unless mounted securely. Most are not designed to stand unsupported for safety reasons, and this may lead to injury or inaccurate height perception.
Understanding Height Specifications from Manufacturers
It’s important to note that manufacturers list the height of sex dolls based on a standardized measurement, typically with the doll lying flat and the body fully extended. Depending on the brand, minor variations in posture or body softness can result in very slight differences in perceived height, but these are usually within acceptable tolerances (±1–2 cm).
Additionally, keep in mind that the presence of different heads or wigs can slightly alter how tall the doll appears. The height listed on product pages generally includes the head.
Final Tips
If you’re still unsure whether the doll you received matches the listed height, take photos during the measurement process and compare them with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Most reputable brands, like ESDoll, are happy to review your concerns and provide clarification.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your measurement is accurate and that your expectations match the product you received. Proper measurement helps avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and ensures you enjoy your purchase with peace of mind.
