Teddy Babe Review by Midiman

Teddy Babes can decorate your dorm room, office study or rec room but are also designed to go the `distance' and fulfill your physical and sexual desires. Unlike blowup dolls, however, Teddy Babes are pleasing to the eye and they don't look like sex toys. That makes them great for a multitude of uses and applications beyond their obvious. Teddy Babes are popular at stag parties, keeping your dog company while you are at work, and as a travel companion that fits in a large suit case. These multipurpose posable dolls can be different things to different people and Teddy Babe customer emails bear testimonial to the wide range of usage these dolls see.

Midiman & Jessica met with unexpected 'favorable' reactions at AVN.

As a matter of fact, I took two Teddy Babes to Las Vegas (might not work in southern redneck communities) and walked the AVN show as well as took them around town - including a trip to Denney's with lots of thumbs up. Mind you, whereas I had a cameraman in tow, they may have mistook me for Ryan Gosling shooting a sequel to the Lars and the Real Girl movie....perhaps Lars and the Teddy Girl.

Either way, I win ... I think...

Based on owner surveys, this doll is first and foremost a cuddle toy. It is a common trait of most mammals including humans to feel more secure and sleep better when next to another. Teddy Babes are also used as fantasy play toys, photographic subjects, travel companions and bedtime snuggle and sleeping partners. They are also safe healthy sexual surrogates - in some cases helping couples to balance libidos without seeking sex or risking emotional entanglement outside the relationship.

Buy two and throw your quilt away :). I woke up one cold winter night with covers off and a Teddy Babe wrapped around each side of me and despite my water glass being frosted, I found myself comfortable, cozy and warm. Yeah, "Go GREEN with Teddy Babes" should be another byline for Eighth Wonder. These dolls feel soooo much better than a pillow to snuggle up to at night and in a winter wilderness camp out they can keep you warm :)

Pretend you're superman and save the babe !

I spent 7 weeks and nearly 9000 miles on the road with three Teddy Babes in the back seat of my car and a RealDoll I the front. Bianca, my RealDoll was the perfect choice for running the HOV lanes - commuter lanes that require at least two people in the car or get pulled over and ticketed. Bianca drew little attention in public - probably because she looked so real as I moved her around in her wheelchair. On the other hand, the Teddy Babes got lots of looks as I carried them in and out of hotels. I won't say they were always favorable looks but most people responded,,, umm..politely to my Teddy Babes..

On one occasion I could swear the young hotel clerk had her jaw drop onto the front desk and her eyes pop out of her head like a Hanna-Barbara cartoon.

We're cool. We're from California !

One word of advice if you plan on traveling with dolls. You don't want to leave them visible in your car overnight, as they probably won't be there in the morning unless you have secure parking.

Second word of advice is to not take all your dolls on the same trip if you have more than a couple. They can take up a lot of space.

So that about sums of the basic mainstream doll activities. And now that we've made it tothe bedroom that makes it appropriate to discuss the subject many of you have been waiting for.

How's the Sex?

The Teddy Babe in keeping with the plushie theme comes with a velvety plush insert, affectionately labeled Pussy Velour. The insert is soft and and occupies the vaginal cavity. It has a plastic outside liner to trap moisture. If you're going to use the doll for sex I recommend two things:

1. For the low $5 price order a second Pussy Velour insert (one for play - one for display)
2. Use a female condom (they can be easily cleaned and reused.)

When being used for display, I also recommend the insert be tucked into the cavity as shown in the diagram (2) for a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Other owners have tried different types of silicone inserts with different levels of success. The most popular insert available to date is the Siliplush Insert created by Doodman, a Teddy Babe owner and doll designer on the West Coast, USA. The Siliplush insert sells for $45 Canadian and can be ordered exclusively from the Teddy Babe Store, Canada. Orders are shipped from the USA or Canada depending on destination. The Siliplush, in keeping with the plushie theme, sports an inner platinum silicone lining and outer plush surface. Customer feedback has been extremely positive and it gives the best performance per dollar.

Female Condom without P.V.

The doll also works vaginal from behind bent over a pillow or chair. Cowgirl and reverse Cowgirl also work. You can sit in a chair and have your own 'special' lap dance and not tire yourself out. She won't even complain if you're watching your favorite porn star while having the lap dance :)

These babes will stick by you even if you lose all your money at the casino.

Our Teddy Babes customer satisfaction poll, enjoyed one of the highest ratings, with owners showing above average satisfaction. Also the close spread in the ratings indicated consistency in quality control. One oddity is that the Teddy Babe Forum at The Doll Forum seems to be the best behaved of all the forums. Whether this is reflective of the Teddy Babes or the Owners is yet to be determined :)

I must admit, Teddy Babes aren't everyone's cup of tea. Those looking for a surrogate human female will probably want a high end silicone doll. But those who like the Teddy Babes, like them a lot! I've seen a few used Teddy Babes offered up for sale and they sell pretty quick.

And heck if you like them a lot you can have the entire lineup to keep you company for the price of a single high end silicone doll. Think of it! Your very own harem of 12 Teddy Babes without the expense of meals and lodging :)

In summary, I rank the Teddy Babes as the best 'bang' for the buck! A love doll you can take anywhere, a cuddle companion, spirit uplifter with low maintenance and versatility. They keep you warm and happy and even help to chase away lonely moments. If I could only have one doll, it would be a Teddy Babe because that's the one that gives me the most hours of quality time and pleasure regardless of price. I've even given away 5 Teddy Babes and in all recipients expressed an improvement in their quality of life. Not bad for a $700 doll.

Teddy Babes aren't just a love doll - they are a life experience!

Cheers,

Midiman

Stats, Reported Problems and Wish Lists

Measurements:

The only common complaint amongst Teddy Babe owners is that the dolls have a tendency to have their hands detach from the arm at the wrist wire. Although this affects posability and the wrist becomes floppy it in no way detracts from the usage or cudliness of the dolls. For this reason many choose not to repair them. Repairs can easily be performed with basic sewing skills and a pair of pliers as demonstrated by one of our female Teddy Babe owners who posted the process on the Doll Forum at Teddy Babe Wrist Post.

Few other problems were reported and those appear to be isolated cases.

Rumors have it that Eighth Wonder will be addressing this and other issues somewhere down the road.. No announcements have been made as of the writing of this review.

Renate's "How to fix your Teddy Babe's Wrist Thread"

1. Matching Silicone insert (already addressed by SiliPlush)
2. Longer legs (Some have used high boots to extend the legs)
3. Toes (Some customers have stitched their own)
4. Smaller boobs (Still waiting)
5. Bendable hips so doll sits naturally (Still waiting)
