Chemical sensitivity: The material is relatively insensitive to chemical damage, but over a long period of time certain chemicals could damage the product.
2. TPE:
Flexibility: TPE is a more pliable and softer material, making it closer to the natural feel.
Chemical sensitivity: TPE has a more porous nature, meaning that it may be more sensitive to damage from chemicals as well as water over long periods of time.
ConsideringBubble BathUse:
1. Water temperature:
Silicone Dolls: Can be subjected to more heated temperatures, although very hot water could damage internal mechanisms of the doll.
TPE Dolls: Do not react well to high heat, therefore should only be cleaned using cool to lukewarm water in order to prevent the material from warping.
2. Bubble Bath Product:
Do not use harsh chemicals: Only use gentle and mild bubble bath product that is fragarance-free. Both materials are susceptible to chemical damage if not handled carefully and with gentle products.
Recommended products: Mild and pH-balanced cleaning agents that are specifically for delicate skin, or that have been formulated for sex dolls.
3. Amount of time exposed to water:
Keep soaking time limited: Prolonged soaking could result in moisture seeping into the body and joints of the doll, especially with TPE dolls. The bath should last around 15-20 minutes at the very maximum.
