Sex dolls have evolved significantly over the years, with manufacturers persistently innovating to enhance realism and user experience. A prime example of these innovations is the introduction of articulated fingers. They were launched several years ago, and almost all sex doll manufacturers on the market provide the option or even higher-end versions to enhance the natural appearance of the doll’s hands and make the sex doll’s fingers move and pose in a more realistic way.
In this article, we are going to delve into the articulated finger design commonly used in sex dolls.
Common Articulated Fingers of Real Sex Dolls
The common hand skeleton with articulated fingers is constructed with meticulous craftsmanship, incorporating stainless steel skeleton and intricate joint work. Each finger has 3 riveted joints and the metal skeleton is enveloped with a surface coating. This design ensures the internal structure remains hidden beneath the doll’s skin, maintaining a natural look.
As you can see through the following video, bending the articulated fingers is easier to ensure natural postures.
Articulated fingers offer a host of benefits that significantly elevate the doll’s realism and interactive potential:
Increased Flexibility & Realism
The detailed joint work of 3 riveted joints on each finger enables the fingers to pose more naturally and flexibly. This enhanced flexibility contributes to the overall realism of the doll.
Durability & Strength
Thanks to the stainless steel construction, articulated fingers are more durable to use. Also, they can withstand a certain amount of pressure, which is particularly useful in poses requiring hand support, such as the doggy position. However, it’s not recommended to overly do the doggy position.
Well Posed for Perfect Photography
The finger joints allow fine-tuning of poses for a more detailed bending angle of the fingers, adding an extra layer of realism, perfect for capturing lifelike images for doll photography enthusiasts.
Safe Finger Tips Design
Each fingertip has a “cap” to prevent fingertips from piercing the doll’s skin, ensuring safe usage over time.
The articulated fingers mentioned above are commonly used in most doll brands, some brands have higher-level hand skeletons such as WM Dolls (click to learn the latest WM hand skeleton), and Starpery.
Starpery Upgraded Hand Skeleton
Starpery upgraded the hand skeleton and articulated fingers with more flexible adjustments. The outstanding features are:

The improved joint design allows the fingers to bend more smoothly, providing a more lifelike appearance and feel.
Round Finger Tips
Friendly to sex doll skin and designed for safety, these won’t pierce the doll’s skin, even under pressure.
The advent of articulated fingers and the continuous improvements in sex doll design demonstrate the industry’s dedication to enhancing realism and user experience. As these innovations evolve, enthusiasts can look forward to increasingly authentic and satisfying interactions with their dolls.
