The Best Sex Doll Hands: Articulated Vs Wired Hands Compared
Overlooked at purchase, the hands shortly turn into a persistent source of frustration, normally within weeks. It never varies. The buyer orders, the doll arrives looking excellent, and posing the hands shows fingers that are stiff, floppy, or prone to breaking. You can steer clear of the single most typical first-time-owner complaint altogether by getting to grips with the two principal types of hands before you order.
 
What You Get With Standard Hands
You'll find standard wire hands more often, and they're also cheaper. Each finger has a thin metal wire through it, set in soft TPE or silicone, so that they bend easily for posing. The pliable material around the wire gives a natural look, and the wire itself is thin enough to be flexible, so the fingers go into a variety of shapes. A light doll copes with them well, and they're perfectly enough if you don't use the hands much. When the doll is substantial, though, they're a complication.
 
Continual Pressure, Weight and Handling
The issue with standard wire hands is that the wire doesn't last. The wire snaps after only so many bends, and then the finger is floppy with no effortless fix. The wire inside the finger is thin, which means a held pose, the doll's arm weight or ordinary handling over time can snap it. Fingers break within a few months for some customers, and others get a year or two before the wires fail. In both cases failure is inevitable, a matter of when rather than if.
 
Fifty to a Hundred Pounds Extra
Upgrading means articulated hands. They use individual stainless steel finger joints instead of a single wire, and each joint has a small pivot that permits the finger to bend at multiple points. Compared with a wire it's far stronger, and holding a pose doesn't strain the material around the joints. The upgrade is worth it for practically every buyer, even though articulated hands are more expensive, generally by fifty to a hundred pounds depending on the producer. Both durability and poseability enhance enormously.
 
Why Wire Hands Sag
The first upside of articulated hands is that they hold poses. Sagging over time is standard of a wire hand, since wire can't preserve tension, while each joint of an articulated hand is designed to hold the position you put it in. The doll can therefore grip objects, rest her hand on her hip, or hold a pose for photography without the fingers drooping. Hands do a lot of the expressive work in a pose, being one of its most expressive parts, so photographers get a huge upside here.
 
Benefit Two: Durability
Second comes durability. Articulated hands skip the wire fatigue problem thanks to stainless steel joints and pivots designed to last. Material around the joints may wear with time, but the joints are far more hard-wearing than wire, so a snapping finger is a dramatically lower risk. On a weighty doll, this matters even more, because the wire hands on a 45kg doll are under continuous strain and will break faster than they would on a lighter doll.
 
Realism in Bent Fingers
In poses, articulated hands look more realistic; that's the third benefit. Rubbery-looking, a little, is the normal state of a bent wire hand, since the wire doesn't support the material properly. With articulated hands the finger shape is crisper, so fingers look more defined and less squashed into position. This is particularly apparent in photographs, where the difference between a wire hand and an articulated hand is evident to anyone who knows what to look for.
 
Interacting With Props
The fourth upside is a more complete-feeling doll. A doll with articulated hands can gesture, point, hold and grip in ways a wire-handed doll simply can't, the hands being one of the most expressive parts of the body. Totally new dimension for posing: the doll can hold objects, interact with props, and create dynamic compositions that couldn't be done otherwise. Considerable is the upside for photographers and roleplay enthusiasts.
 
Pushing the Total Out of Your Range
Cost is the first downside of articulated hands. For customers on a tight budget, these cost more, and the extra fifty to a hundred pounds might be enough to push the total out of range. The upgrade is practically always worth it in the long run. Replacing a faulty wire hand, or the frustration of floppy fingers, is generally worse than the upfront cost of articulated hands.
 
A Bit More Effort to Position the Fingers
The second downside is that articulated hands can be a little stiffer than wire ones. More resistance to movement than wire is what you get from joints designed to hold a pose. On the plus side the hand stays where you put it, which is solid for posing; on the minus side, positioning the fingers takes a bit more effort. This annoys some purchasers, particularly those used to wire hands that bend readily. A slight trade-off, this: most customers adjust within a few days.
 
When an Articulated Finger Gets Wrenched
Articulated hands can be marginally more fragile than wire hands in a distinct way, which is the third disadvantage. The joints are strong, yet the connections to the material can sometimes loosen, and a wrenched finger can pop a joint out that must be reinserted. Knowing about this before you purchase is worthwhile; it's less common than wire breakage but it does occur. Stick to a straightforward routine: respect the positions the fingers don't want to go into, and always support the hand properly while you move it.
 
Drawback Four: Marginally Larger Hands
The fourth downside involves articulated hands often being marginally larger. The additional joints need space, and the fingers can look a bit chunkier as a result. On smaller dolls the difference can be apparent, even though it's normally slight and most customers don't notice, and a petite doll with fragile proportions might look slightly off with articulated hands. The retailer should be able to say whether the articulated hands on a precise doll are scaled proportionally, and some producers do this better than others, so ask.
 
Saving Yourself From Broken Fingers and Drooping Poses
Uncomplicated sensible advice for anyone deciding between wire and articulated hands: purchase articulated. As the single best upgrade you can make to functionality, they justify their higher cost by saving you from non-working fingers and drooping poses. If you're on an extremely tight budget and won't pose the hands at all, wire hands are the only justifiable purchase, and even then the inevitable replacement cost deserves reflection.
 
What to Do if Wire Fingers Break
Also worth covering is what to do if you already have a wire-handed doll and the fingers break. Not all is lost, because in some cases wire hands can be repaired, either by pushing a new wire through the finger or by employing a small quantity of TPE repair compound to reinforce the joint. Now for the catch. A repair is seldom a patch on the original, so expect that finger to give out again inside a few months. Planning to keep the doll long-term? Acquire a replacement pair of articulated hands rather than trying to repair wire ones; it's generally the better investment.
 
Caring for Articulated Hands
If you're buying a doll with articulated hands, there's a maintenance consideration worth knowing about. The metal can corrode and the joints can seize up if moisture gets to them, so they need to be kept clean and dry. Once you've finished with the doll, wipe the hands down and dry them thoroughly, especially if she's been in contact with water or cleaning goods. Every few months, put a small quantity of silicone-based lubricant on the joints. They'll keep moving smoothly, and the metal won't grind against the surrounding material.
 
Which Hands Look Better?
How the two hand types look is worth a few words. Smoother and softer, a little, wire hands tend to look that way because the material surrounding the wire is continuous. Less aesthetically satisfying, to some customers, are the noticeable joint lines of articulated hands. A thin layer of material generally conceals the joints, though they can be apparent when the fingers are bent, which is a trade-off worth knowing about if you care about visual realism. On the other hand, articulated hands look more like real hands in complicated poses, so the trade-off is regularly worth it.
 
One Upgrade Worth Paying For
Bottom line: articulated hands are nearly invariably the better choice. Durability, poseability and photo realism all enhance, and the extra cost is small next to the frustration of damaged fingers. For a new doll, specify articulated hands in the order. With a used doll, find out if it has articulated hands and factor that into the price. Few upgrades pay for themselves many times over the way this one does, and that goes for either route.
