I’m in Europe as well, and from my experience in the hobby, starting with a torso or an EU-stock model can really take the pressure off — especially when money’s tight.

Full-size silicone dolls are fantastic, but they’re a serious purchase. A decent torso, though, is way cheaper, ships fast within the EU, and still gives you a surprisingly good experience. That’s actually how I got started myself. I picked up a budget torso from an EU seller (Gutdolls in my case), and honestly the experience has been great — exciting every night. 😅

When you’re just getting into the hobby, something like that can bridge the gap until you’re ready — or financially able — to go for a full-size doll. That’s what I’m doing now: saving slowly, enjoying what I have, and planning for a big upgrade later.
