Sex Doll Care & Maintenance Guide

Keeping your sex doll clean and well-maintained is the key to preserving the longevity of your new ultra-realistic sex doll. Here is a list of tips for caring for & maintaining the quality and life of your sex doll.

1. How to Use and Precautions

1.1 Whether you are handling a silicone or TPE doll, avoid sharp metal, glass, and anything else that may scratch or stab it. Silicone and TPE materials have good elasticity and toughness, so they can effectively resist heavy pressure and tearing. However, they behave similarly to real skin and are easily punctured by sharp objects like knives.

1.2 Don't keep the doll placed in a single position for an overly extended period, especially if it is causing stress to the joints. Why? Prolonged stress on certain body parts may cause permanent damage, including wrinkles or structural deformities. (The same is true for humans, but humans are made of cells, and cells are constantly multiplying and replaced, so they recover quickly. Not true for dolls!) 

1.3 Dolls not designed to stand should not stand. If your doll does not come with a standing feature, it is best to avoid it altogether. When the doll stands, the weight of the body is concentrated on the feet, causing structural damage and puncture.

1.4  Silicone and TPE materials stain easily due to their mineral oil content. To prevent discoloration: 

  • Avoid dark or brightly colored low-quality fabrics.
  • Pre-wash new clothing in saltwater for 2-3 hours before use.
  • Recommended fabrics: polyester, acrylic, or other non-dyeing materials.

1.5 While not mandatory, using a female condom during intercourse is highly recommended. This helps minimize direct contact with the doll’s vaginal cavity, improving hygiene and reducing the need for deep cleaning. If internal cleaning is required, take care to avoid excessive water exposure, as trapped moisture in the abdominal cavity could lead to rusting of internal metal components. After washing, thoroughly dry the vaginal canal using a drying stick to prevent bacterial growth.

2. How to Store‏ and Precautions

You have many options when it comes to storing the doll, such as sex doll storage box, cupboard hanging, original shipping box, storage bag, etc.

2.1 Whether you have a silicone or TPE product, both should be kept away from high temperatures and fire sources, and stored in a cool and dry environment. Why? During the production process, flammable mineral oil extracts are added to both TPE and silicone.

Therefore, always store them away from heat sources and store them in a cool and dry place, which also aids in reducing the amount of oil they produce. 

2.2 Don't leave your doll in extreme temperatures, as that may deform your sex doll over time. Don't worry about normal fluctuations, but avoid using temperatures below freezing and extreme heat.

2.3 To avoid joint deformation from prolonged pressure, store the doll seated or lying flat— never upright.

2.4  Don't wear any tight clothing, as this may leave permanent marks or indentations on your sex doll.

2.5  Avoid wearing dark color fabrics for a long period, which can stain your sex doll's skin.

2.6  Put your sex doll on a soft surface or hang it in the air. To prevent permanent indentation caused by something pressed into the doll's skin. 

3. How to Clean and Precautions

The following is a list of some suggestions and tips for you to consider:

Antibacterial soap, water, talcum powder (baby powder), a light sponge, a soft towel, a non-abrasive drying cloth, and premium renewal powder.

3.4.2 How to Clean the Vagina/ Anus/ Mouth
To avoid the growth of bacteria, we recommend that you clean important areas like vaginal, anal, and oral after every use.

Flush the canal with a mild antibacterial soap solution in a vaginal irrigator until thoroughly clean. Then, flush the canal with clean water in a vaginal irrigator until all soap is removed.

Dry the canal thoroughly and dust with premium renewal powder inside and out after drying. 

3.4.3 How to Clean Your Sex Doll's Face

Remove the head from the body. If possible, remove the wig as well. 

Dip a sponge or cotton cloth in warm antibacterial soapy water and gently pat down your sex doll's face. 

Please be careful not to damage the eyes and lashes, and avoid wetting these areas. 

Gently pat down the face with a dry, non-abrasive cloth. Allow it to air dry naturally before reattaching to the body. 

3.5 How to Dry Your Sex Doll 

Place your sex doll on the soft towel and pat dry gently with a clean, soft cotton cloth to allow the skin to air dry fully. Don't use a hard sponge/ brush or wire wool for cleaning, as it will cause damage. 

Once dry, apply talcum powder to the sex doll to protect the skin and prevent friction damage. Do not apply talc when your doll is still wet. Apply talcum powder to the dolls every two weeks or at least once a month. 

Note: Do not apply any other substances like fragrance oils to the skin.
