One of the most exciting aspects of creating your own line of adult intimacy products is the ability to customize them to your exact vision. As an OEM/ODM factory, we offer a wide range of customization options. However, it's important to understand how different choices can impact your production timeline and costs. This checklist will guide you through the available options and their implications.

Standard vs. Deep Customization
First, it's helpful to distinguish between two levels of customization:
- Standard Customization (ODM-based): This involves selecting from our existing catalog of molds and making cosmetic changes. It's faster and more cost-effective. Options include choosing skin tone, eye color, makeup style, and hair from our standard offerings.
- Deep Customization (OEM-based): This involves creating something entirely new, such as a custom face sculpt or a unique body type. This requires new mold development and significantly impacts cost and lead time, but results in a truly exclusive product.
Checklist Item 1: Body & Model Selection
The foundation of your product is its body shape and size.
- Standard Option: Choose from our extensive catalog of existing body types, which includes various heights, weights, and proportions.
Lead Time Impact: Minimal. - Deep Customization: Commission a completely new body sculpt. This requires 3D modeling, clay sculpting, and master mold creation.
Lead Time Impact: High (adds 4-8 weeks).
Checklist Item 2: Skin Tone & Texture
The look and feel of the skin is critical for realism.
- Standard Option: Select from our 12+ pre-formulated skin tones for both silicone and TPE.
Lead Time Impact: Minimal. - Deep Customization: Request a custom-matched skin tone. We require a physical color sample to match. This involves creating and testing several small batches.
Lead Time Impact: Medium (adds 1-2 weeks).
We can also add details like freckles, beauty marks, or subtle veins for enhanced realism. These are typically considered standard or low-impact customizations.
Checklist Item 3: Facial Features, Eyes & Makeup
The face is the most expressive part of the product.
- Standard Option: Choose from our catalog of 50+ head molds. Then, select from our standard eye colors and makeup styles (e.g., natural, glam, smoky).
Lead Time Impact: Minimal. - Deep Customization: Commission a new face sculpt based on drawings or reference photos. This is a highly artistic process involving our master sculptors. You can also request custom-made eyes or a unique makeup design.
Lead Time Impact: High (adds 3-6 weeks for a new head mold).
Checklist Item 4: Hair Style & Color
Hair adds personality and character.
- Standard Option: Choose from our stock of 20+ hair colors and 10+ standard styles (e.g., long straight, short bob, curly).
Lead Time Impact: Minimal. - Deep Customization: Request a custom hair color blend or a unique hairstyle. This may require sourcing new materials or specialized styling work.
Lead Time Impact: Medium (adds 1-3 weeks).
Checklist Item 5: Interactive Features
Technology can enhance the user experience.
- Standard Option: Add our pre-engineered internal heating system or a basic sound module (pre-loaded sounds).
Lead Time Impact: Low (adds 3-5 days for installation). - Deep Customization: Develop a new electronic feature, such as app-controlled functions or custom voice responses. This requires electronic engineering, prototyping, and testing.
Lead Time Impact: Very High (adds 8-16 weeks).
Checklist Item 6: Packaging & Branding
Your packaging is the first physical interaction a customer has with your brand.
- Standard Option: Use our standard, discreet shipping boxes. We can add your logo via a sticker or simple print.
Lead Time Impact: Minimal. - Deep Customization: Design a fully custom-printed retail box with unique inserts, manuals, and branding. This requires graphic design, die-line creation, and print production.
Lead Time Impact: Medium (adds 2-4 weeks for printing and assembly).
How Customization Affects Lead Time: A Summary
Understanding the timeline is key to planning your launch. Here’s a general guide to how customizations stack up.
| Customization Level | Examples | Added Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
