If you want the Zelex experience at a lower (already pretty reasonably priced) cost and with greater ease of use, this is for you. the head and body sculpt (if you don't mind the half legs and missing arms) is amazing and beautifully crafted. The SLE though not as soft as TPE yet still softer than silicone was pretty pleasant to use. So far its held up (about more than a year) and still looking like new (i probably have a session about twice a week or so since i got many dolls to share the time with). HIGHLY recommend this torso and Zelex in general.
