My Lisa Teddy Babe
by DollyGuy
I was given the link to Teddy Babes by a friend of mine who tends to send me links to "interesting" sites as a joke. Now I never intended to buy a sex doll, never mind a Teddy Babe, because up until recently I never knew they existed. While exploring their site, I became more interested in the product and found the link to this board on their site. I started reading the reviews, the testimonials, and seeing pictures of other Teddy Babes by other owners, (the cuddly factor was a big selling point for me) I decided to pony up the $700 (plus s/h) to buy her. The big dilemma I faced was WHICH one to buy, but I certainly had worse dilemma in the past. Laughing But I settled for Lisa. I placed my order, and this is the start of part 1 of a 2 part review:
First off was the ease of ordering. Nice and straightforward. Smooth credit card transaction.
Next came the customer service aspect. This is really where Eight Wonder LLC shines. Multi million dollar companies should learn from them. I had several questions and a concern regarding delivery. Jeni answered all my emails quickly, promptly, and professionally. They seem to be there for you from ordering to delivery. Jeni was there every step of the way.
Next was delivery. It does say on their website faq two to four weeks. Don't let that fool you. I ordered Lisa on Sunday and she arrived 5 days later!
Well, Lisa arrived today standing in my hallway in a cardboard box. I took the box inside and opened it. Well, this is the only negative aspect I've encountered thus far. SHIPPING PEANUTS, by the TON. A word of caution when you open the box, do so very carefully, as they can easily fly out of the box and turn your bedroom into a styrofoam version of a winter wonderland. It took me over a half an hour to clean the mess.
Lisa is finally out of the box and enshrouded in a plastic version of a body bag. The bag did very well keeping the doll clean during shipping and was very well wrapped. Easily opened with a twist tie on the end of her feet.

I removed Lisa from the bag and when I looked up, I saw a very seductive face staring down at me. Funny how while she is simply a stuffed version of a woman, it really caused an interesting effect. They are THAT CUTE. Even though the website pictures show no stitch marks on the face, they are there but after a few seconds, you really do not notice them. The sites photos really do not do these dolls justice. You really have to see them in person to know what I mean. I started to inspect Lisa for any sort of shipping amage or damage to any of the joints in her internal wire frame. None were found, and I payed particular attention to inspect her tits for any defects in craftsman or workmanship. None were found. |
When you get your Teddy Babe, don't try sex out of the box (or in the box for that matter, the shipping peanuts will fly everywhere). She's tighter than trying to have sex with a drinking straw. I read here that she needs time to loosen up. I'd say so.
So this section is dedicated to the cuddleability test. WOW! Can we say WOW? Yes, lets say it again, WOW! The reviews here were SPOT ON in this respect. Even if you never try to do the "deed" with her, just the cuddle makes it worth every cent. And I was amazed just how fast Lisas body started warming to my body heat. The poly fill seems to have a great heat retention capability. I read somewhere that you could probably insulate a house with them. I'd bet you can. But there are cheaper alternatives of insulating a house, like Owens Corning Fiberglass in the attic. Now I remember why I loved my teddy bear as a kid growing up. Not only do they provide warmth, but also a sense of security. That's why kids always love stuffies to sleep with. As an adult version of a stuffie, Eighth Wonder hit the nail spot on. This doll is incredible. While I have yet to sleep with her, from the hour or so I cuddled it, I can bet tonights sleep will be fantastic.
A couple of observations though in this review. First, the hands are very small. I mean very small. If Eighth Wonder made them a little bigger, and not the size of a five year old, then, well, the "other" thing may be a bit more fun. If you know what I mean.
And second, leg length. Too short. When I stand her next to me upright, she is like 4 foot nothing. Maybe a half a foot longer in the leg department would be a big improvement.
In the T&A review, I see a number of questions from people about this particular aspect. Yes, both the T and the A are very plush and quite squeezable. It makes the cuddle effect more enjoyable. Coupled with the heat retention and the feel of the soft silky like "skin", this product makes one of the best sleeping "partners" around.
First, we'll deal with the "boinkability factor".. Well, a couple of problems. One, the "Pussy Velour" was more like a sock than an insert. The plastic bag liner broke. Not that big of a deal with the liner, as I can always use a Glad bag or something similar. Only remind me not to wrap my lunch sandwiches in them later.
(And imagine the embarrassing mix up at the laundry mat! "Err, excuse me sir, but I found your plush girlfriends vagina mixed in with my socks")
I'd highly recommend purchasing the Siliplush Insert from the Canadian Teddy Babe store. We'll review that later.
And as for being factory new, it was almost impossible for full penetration using the velour addon. It's like an engine piston running in a dry cylinder. Now I can see why female condoms or inserts, (or maybe a can of Penzoil, 10w 30) are highly recommended.
My suggestion to Eighth Wonder would be to craft a custom insert and dump the pussy velor.

Now, for the others, the "kissability factor", the "huggability factor" and the "overall feel factor." First the kissability test. Yeah, it was fun. Kissed her a couple of times for kicks. Unfortunately, after a while, the slight smell of silicon from her lips came into play and the slight smell made it smell like I was like kissing an oil refinery. It was not bad, but it was a tad noticeable. I feel bad for someone who pays ten grand for a full silicone doll. It must end up smelling like screwing in a NASCAR pit stall after a heavy race. Not that I kiss dolls every day, but hey, this IS a review after all. Wink |

Huggability: Yup, these babes are the queens of the hug. You manipulate the arms a certain way and she will never want to let you go. Lisa even managed to grab the glasses right off of my face while I was trying to break the choke hold she had me on. Yes, that did happen. I think she's almost alive.
Overall Feel: This is the high point. The feel of the exterior is almost like touching and caressing real human flesh. I was a bit worried when I saw saw some of the pictures and thought it may be like touching a hairy teddy bear. Not in the least! It really does mimic to a good degree the feel of real soft human flesh very well. I was pleasantly surprised.
