Cost-effectiveness considers initial purchase price, durability, maintenance, and replacement costs. Inflatable dolls are generally more affordable upfront, making them accessible to a wider audience. They are inexpensive to buy and require minimal maintenance, but their lower durability means they may need to be replaced more frequently due to punctures or wear.
Silicone dolls have a higher initial cost but are more durable and long-lasting. Their quality and realism justify the higher price, and with proper care, they can serve for many years, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Maintenance costs are moderate but necessary to preserve their condition.
In the long term, silicone dolls often prove more cost-effective due to their durability and longevity. Inflatable dolls may be more economical initially but can incur higher costs over time due to replacement and repairs.
