What bolts are available for a sex doll head?
There are three different connections or bolts for a sex doll head, namely:
- Threaded bolt
- Snap-on or click-on bolt
- Pivot snap-on or sway click-on bolt
The snap-on and pivot snap-on bolts are very similar, but the pivot snap-on also allows you to tilt the head sideways and move it up and down using a ball joint. This offers the greatest freedom of movement.
The threaded bolt is cheaper than the other two options, making it the most popular choice for budget sex dolls. You can often ask the supplier which of the three bolts is used and upgrade if you wish.
Both full-size sex dolls and torso sex dolls with heads benefit from the right connection.
Almost all sex dolls with a head have an M16 neck connection; some have an M8 connection.
Why is a good bolt or connection so important?
A good bolt that allows freedom of movement gives the sex doll a different look and greater flexibility. Turning and tilting the face creates a more feminine and sweet expression.
The photo below shows how a woman’s appearance changes when she tilts and turns her head slightly. The right bolt also makes this sweet expression possible for sex dolls.
Now that we know what types of bolts there are and why they are important, we’ll take a closer look at the three types below.
Threaded bolt connection
A threaded bolt connection is a simple connection with full threading. This option is often used as the most budget-friendly option: you simply screw the bolt into the neck and then turn the head onto the doll until it is firmly in position.
Advantages and disadvantages of the threaded bolt
Advantages of the threaded bolt:
- Cost-effective, the cheapest of the three options
Disadvantages of the threaded bolt:
- Often does not let the face look 100% straight ahead once fastened
- Offers no flexibility or ability to turn once fastened
Snap-on connection
A snap-on connection is a bolt fitted with small ball bearings and 50% threading that fit into the threading in the head. With this bolt, you can simply snap the head into the neck in one easy step with one hand, and turn the head to the left and right.
Advantages and disadvantages of the snap-on bolt
Advantages of the snap-on bolt:
- Faster to secure and remove
- Leaves the doll looking straight ahead once secured
- Once secured, allows the head to look left and right
Disadvantages of the snap-on bolt:
- Slightly more expensive
- Can come loose a little more easily than the threaded bolt during very vigorous movements
Pivot snap-on connection
With this bolt, you can simply attach the head to the body in one step, and the ball joint in the middle of the bolt lets you turn and tilt the head in any direction.
A pivot snap-on connection, also known as a sway click-on connection, is almost the same as a regular snap-on connection. The pivot function includes a ball joint, so you can also tilt the head and make it look up and down.
Pivot, sway, tilt, turn, and other synonyms are often used in combination with click-on, snap-on, or adapter. These generally all refer to the same component with the same function.
Advantages and disadvantages of the pivot snap-on bolt
Advantages of the pivot snap-on bolt:
- Faster to secure and remove
- Always leaves the doll looking straight ahead once secured
-
Once secured, allows the head to look up, down, left, and right, with continuous 360-degree flexibility and a tilt function
Disadvantages of the pivot snap-on bolt:
- Most expensive option
- Can come loose a little more easily than the threaded bolt during very vigorous movements
Conclusion
If you want the most realistic bolt, choose a pivot snap-on connection: a bolt that can rotate and features a ball joint. This lets you turn a sex doll’s head up, down, left, and right, and tilt it for full flexibility and a more attractive appearance.
The only downside to this connection is that it can come loose more easily than a threaded bolt during vigorous movements. It stays in place during normal use.
If you go for the cheapest option, choose a threaded bolt connection. Unfortunately, this offers no freedom of movement, so the sex doll’s head always remains fixed in the same position. The advantage is that this threaded bolt connection is the sturdiest of all. For normal use, however, the extreme sturdiness of the threaded bolt is unnecessary.
