Sex Doll Care and Maintenance Guide
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep your sex doll in optimal condition and extend its lifespan. This guide covers everything you need to know about cleaning, storage, and ongoing maintenance for both TPE and silicone dolls.
Before First Use
When your doll arrives, follow these steps before your first use:
- Carefully unpack and inspect for any shipping damage
- Allow the doll to reach room temperature (1-2 hours)
- Wash the entire body with warm water and mild soap
- Pat dry completely with a soft towel
- Apply renewal powder to the entire body
- Wash any included clothing before dressing the doll
Regular Cleaning
After Each Use
- Clean all orifices with warm water and antibacterial soap
- Use a soft sponge or cloth - never abrasive materials
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue
- Dry completely inside and out - moisture promotes bacteria growth
- Allow to air dry for 1-2 hours before storage
Deep Cleaning (Weekly/Monthly)
- Shower or bath the entire doll with warm water
- Use only mild, pH-balanced soap or specialized doll cleaners
- Pay special attention to joints, folds, and textured areas
- Clean the wig separately with gentle shampoo
- Pat dry and apply renewal powder liberally
Products to Use and Avoid
Recommended Products
- Mild antibacterial soap (fragrance-free preferred)
- Renewal powder or corn starch for TPE dolls
- Water-based lubricants only
- Soft cotton or microfiber cloths
- TPE or silicone repair kits (for your doll type)
Products to Avoid
- Silicone-based lubricants (damages TPE)
- Oil-based products (can degrade materials)
- Harsh chemicals, alcohol, or bleach
- Abrasive sponges or brushes
- Hair dryers or heat sources for drying
Storage Guidelines
Proper Storage Position
- Hanging: Best option if you have a closet hook system designed for dolls
- Lying flat: On a soft surface, limbs in neutral position
- Sitting: Avoid for extended periods - can cause permanent creasing
- Original box: Good for long-term storage with foam supports
Environmental Factors
- Keep away from direct sunlight (causes fading and degradation)
- Store in a cool, dry place (extreme temperatures damage materials)
- Avoid tight or dark-colored clothing during storage (can stain)
- Cover with a light cloth to protect from dust
Common Issues and Solutions
Staining
If your doll gets stained from clothing or other materials, try a stain remover specifically designed for TPE or silicone dolls. Test on a hidden area first. Prevent staining by washing new clothes before use and avoiding dark colors for extended wear.
Minor Tears or Cuts
Small tears in TPE can be repaired using TPE glue. Clean the area thoroughly, apply glue to both sides, press together, and allow 24 hours to cure. Silicone repairs require specialized adhesives designed for silicone materials.
Sticky Skin (TPE)
TPE naturally becomes tacky over time. Regular application of renewal powder after cleaning prevents this. If the doll becomes very sticky, wash thoroughly, dry completely, and apply a generous amount of powder.
Loose Joints
Over time, joints may loosen from use. Some manufacturers sell joint tightening kits, or you can contact customer service for repair options. Avoid forcing joints beyond their natural range of motion.
Extending Your Doll's Lifespan
- Clean after every use without exception
- Store properly when not in use
- Use only water-based lubricants
- Avoid extreme poses for extended periods
- Handle with care - support the weight when lifting
- Keep nails trimmed when handling
- Dress in light-colored, loose clothing for storage
- Inspect regularly for any damage that needs repair
