Sex dolls can be an amazing source of pleasure and intimacy, however like anything made to last they need specific and tender care, more so when it comes to the skin on a sex doll. Love doll's are generally made out of silicone or TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) which are both materials made to feel as though of real human skin but if not handled with care they can become easily damaged. In this article we will look at what are good care strategies and practices to keep your real doll's skin from becoming damaged.
1. Understand the material
When you own a love doll it is important that you know what material it has been made out of in order for you to be able to care for it appropriately.
Silicone Sex Dolls: Silicone's are known for their durability and realism but in time can get discolored, or damaged at the surface without being taken care of.
TPE Sex Dolls: These are softer than silicones, are more likely to tear at the surface and can react easily with oils and chemicals.
Understanding what material your doll is made out of will help keep its skin from getting damaged.
2. Clean Regularly
Regular cleaning is very important to keep the integrity of your doll's skin. If you need to do this, you should:
Use appropriate cleaners. Make sure to use only warm water and a gentle, non-alcoholic, and unscented cleaner, such as baby wipes (check they don't have any alcohol/chemicals on them first), and soap, never use harsh chemicals or detergents.
Give it a good wipe-down. Use a soft sponge or cloth, and wipe all areas, in particular those creases and holes where body fluids may settle, and wash in clean, warm water.
Dry off the doll. After you've washed and wiped the doll use a clean towel or cloth to dry off any excess water and don't ever put the doll in the dryer on any temperature heat level, or any heat source for that matter. Let your doll air dry in a cool dry place.
3. Protect doll from direct sunlight and heat
Spending long hours under the sun and with exposure to heat may cause the skin to fade and deteriorate. Protect your doll with the following practices:
Keep doll in the shade/indoors: Never let your doll spend time in direct sunlight. A dark and cool space is ideal for storing it to prevent it from any damage from natural light.
Control temperature: Prevent your doll from coming near any heat sources like radiators or heaters as it may deform the material of your doll.
4. Use the correct storage methods
The type of storage used will have a significant impact on how long your doll will last. Below are storage guidelines that can prolong its lifespan:
Stand or Lay Doll Upright/Sideways: Your doll can be stored in an upright position or laid sideways depending on its form and the material. When stored horizontally, be sure it's laid in a position that doesn't strain its joints, as this could result in indentations and deformities on the skin.
Use Protective Doll Cover: Consider investing in a doll cover or doll bag for the protection and maintenance of your doll. They help to shield the doll from dirt and accidental scratches while allowing its material to breathe.
5. Avoid using too much oil and lubricant
Some oils and lubricants may cause damage to the skin of a sex doll. Here are products to be wary of:
Use Water-Based Lubricant: If you intend to use lubricants during sex, it is recommended to use water-based lubricants as these are safest for both TPE and silicone dolls.
Refrain from Using Oil or Silicone-Based lubricants: These may wear down your TPE dolls and discolor/fade your silicone dolls.
6. Handle the doll with care
The handling technique can contribute immensely to the prevention of physical damage to the doll's skin. Use these methods:
Always handle the doll gently: Avoid rough movements during the process of dressing and undressing your doll as this may result in cracks or tears to its skin.
Don't overstretch doll's joints: Doll's joints may become worn and weak if over-exerted. Avoid bending your doll's joints, legs or arms over-the-top limit to prevent the risk of breakage.
7. Inspect your doll regularly
Perform routine inspections to quickly spot any signs of damage to your doll's skin:
Check for any rips or cracks: Frequently examine the doll for any subtle tear, cracks, or discolorations. If any damage is identified, it is advisable to try out suitable repair solutions.
Inspect all doll's joints: Ensure that all joints operate without difficulty and if resistance feels like too much, there might be a problem to attend to.
8. Repairing and Maintenance
Early intervention may be vital if there are any apparent damage detected:
Repair Kits: Manufacturers of doll usually offer their own repair kits which might include colored silicone glue or patches. They are great for mending minor cracks and tears.
Professional Repair: If the doll is severely damaged, a professional may have to be employed for it's mending.
Conclusion:
Caring for a sex doll involves careful consideration for its materials and design. Proper storage, routine cleaning, and cautious use of chemicals all play a part in extending the skin of your doll's durability. Being gentle with your doll can help extend its longevity for many years. Your doll can remain an excellent source of fun with adequate care.
