Difference between silicone and vinyl babies.
Judging by dollfan and other doll sites some love the silicone and some like the silicone vinyl.
Cost while you might find vinyl reborns that are more expensive than silicone baby dolls this is usually not the case.
The reborn kit comes with a bald head two arms and two legs.
A reborn is made from a kit that you can buy on ebay or a site similar to it.
Here are some of the main differences between silicone and vinyl reborn dolls.
The difference between reborn and silicone dolls.
That is caused by using more softening agents in the vinyl.
There is no silicone vinyl available although it is called like that.
A silicone costs a lot to make and also to buy.
For that reason silicone babies feel soft.
Silicone as a material is more costly so this is something that will always have a big impact on the price.
The key difference between rubber and silicone is that the backbones of most of the rubber forms contain carbon carbon bonds while the backbone of silicone contains silicon and oxygen.
Technically it is not possible to mix vinyl and silicone it is either vinyl or silicone.
The reason why it is called silicone vinyl is because it is very soft.
Well silicone dolls cost more than the real looking babies made up of vinyl.
What is the difference between silicon and reborns.
All vinyl babies have cloth bodies even the full vinyl body babies.
With the exception of ball jointed vinyl dolls which are usually not weighted due to the assembly mechanisms involved all of the vinyl babies will have a cloth body.
As a result if you want your baby to play.
Vinyl babies are flexible to the extent determined by their body style.
The different vinyls do not require different handling.
I like and own 4 silicone vinyl and love them.
Reborn dolls are mostly made of vinyl and for that reason they feel a bit hard.
A silicone doll is made of rubber.
Reborn and silicone baby dolls are made of different materials.
Silicone to my knowledge is about at least 4 times as expensive if it is a good one.
On the other hand silicone baby dolls are made of silicone.
As a result they have different textures and feel.
Both rubber and silicone are elastomers they are polymeric materials that exhibit the viscoelastic behaviour which we generally call as elasticity we can distinguish silicone from rubbers by the atomic structure.
