SEX DOLL CARE INSTRUCTIONS
A quality sex doll can be a long-lasting companion – if properly cared for. Whether your doll is made of TPE or silicone, regular cleaning, safe storage, and gentle handling are essential to preserve its beauty, realism, and functionality. In this guide, we cover all the essential steps to maintain your sex doll, from daily hygiene to long-term care.
I. Cleaning & Hygiene
How Often to Clean
We strongly recommend thoroughly cleaning your doll after each use. Even if the doll isn’t in use, cleaning every two to four weeks is ideal to prevent dust buildup, stickiness, and maintain hygiene.
External Cleaning
Use mild antibacterial soap and lukewarm water. Gently wipe or pat the doll’s skin with a soft sponge or your hands – treat it like you’d care for your own skin. Avoid soaking or splashing water near the neck connector or electronic ports if your doll has such features. A gentle shower is a safer method.
Internal (Love Holes) Cleaning
It’s crucial to clean the love holes (vaginal, anal and oral canals) of a doll after every use to avoid the growth of bacteria. Use a douche or irrigator filled with diluted antibacterial soap water to flush the canals, then rinse with clean water.
Drying Tips
Use soft, absorbent towels to gently pat the doll’s body dry. For internal love holes, use drying sticks and sterilization heating rods to thoroughly dry and sterilize. Afterwards, let the doll air-dry completely before storing to prevent mold and odor.

Ⅱ. Storage
1. Proper Storage Positions
For head separate storage, head stands work great for dolls with multiple heads. As for the body, it's always recommended to store your doll lying flat, hanging, or standing with support (this way is only recommended for dolls with standing feet). Storage cases specially designed for sex dolls are great for storing a full-sized doll. Click here to check more information about proper storage.
2. Avoid Poor Posture
Don't leave your doll in tight or unnatural poses for long periods when using or storing it to avoid creases or pressure marks. Prolonged creasing can lead to skin wrinkles or even material damage.
3. Avoid Dust & Damage
Use blankets, dedicated storage bags, or storage cases to shield your doll from dust and accidental damage. Avoid placing the doll near sharp objects or in high-traffic areas.
Ⅲ. Material-Specific Care (TPE vs. Silicone)
1. TPE Care Tips
TPE is soft and lifelike, but more porous than silicone. It can absorb oils and dirt more easily, thus it requires more frequent cleaning and powdering. After every cleaning, apply specific renewal powder, baby powder, or cornstarch to keep the surface smooth and reduce stickiness.
2. Silicone Care Tips
Silicone is more durable and more resistant to stains than TPE. But some brands now provide optional "ultra-soft silicone", which gets easier to tear than regular silicone, and may feel greasy over time. It's also recommended to powder the surface as appropriate.
3. Stain Prevention
Avoid clothing that easily fades or bleeds color, especially dark or bright outfits. Wash new clothes before dressing the doll, or use a white undersuit for protection.
4. How to Remove Stains
Use a specialized stain remover to remove the stains on TPE or silicone dolls. If the stains are stubborn to remove, try applying some stain remover oil or grease to the stain, then wrap or cover it and leave it overnight or longer.

Ⅳ. Sex Doll Skeleton Care
All real sex dolls come with metal skeletons with adjustable joints that allow for movement and posing. Avoid using excessive force when posing to prevent leaving traces or breaking its joints. Joints are durable, but still need care. Do not leave the doll in the same position for extended periods to avoid stress on specific parts.

Ⅴ. Maintenance & Repairs
1. Powdering
After cleaning and drying, or when you find your doll feels greasy, lightly dust the doll with specific renewal powder, baby powder, or cornstarch to keep the skin silky and reduce wear.
2. Minor Tear Repair
Small tears in TPE and silicone can be repaired using repair kits specially designed for sex dolls. The following videos show how to repair the minor tears on TPE and silicone materials. Click here to check more information about repairing.
3. Implanted Hair / Wig Care
For wigs, remove them before cleaning, gently wash and air dry, and reapply when fully dry. For implanted hair, use a wide-tooth comb and avoid pulling or harsh brushing.
4. Makeup Touch-Up Tips
For doll owners, re-makeup of your loved doll might be a must-do thing. Generally speaking, makeup for TPE is easier than for silicone by yourself. * TPE Dolls: You can use regular human cosmetics to apply blush, eyeshadow, or lipstick. * Silicone Dolls: Use silicone oil pigments (e.g., Silc Pig) or diluted oil-based paint with an airbrush or sponge for best results.
