For two weeks, I did my worst to this thing, haha, but to my surprise, it's astonishingly resilient and still snug, washing as clean as the first day I had it. I was skeptical about such a small doll, as I've used larger torsos and even full-sized ones, but they're too heavy and bulky. This one is relatively smaller, but with good weight and bounce to it, and overall, I now lean towards using it more. I don't think I'll go back to anything bigger than this. Plus, the price point of this product is excellent compared to its quality. I think if it were a little cheaper, more people would be willing to try it. But if your budget is limitedor even if it's not!... If you're tired of those heavy things, just get rid of them, it's time for a change. This one is perfect, easy to stash away, and won't break the bank. I recently bought a larger torso for almost the same price, thinking I got a great deal, but no, it was terrible, soft, couldn't stand up, felt like warm jelly, while this one is much better, way better. Give it a try, if you don't like it, you won't lose much money, but there's no reason not to like it. Haha, it's really fun, buy it, it's worth it
