How do I clean my sex doll?

Choosing to purchase a sex doll is quite the investment. Whoever said you can’t buy love wasn’t anticipating the rise in popularity of sex dolls in the adult entertainment industry. As one of the more expensive interactive sex toy options, you will need to take some care in maintaining and cleaning your new friend in the bedroom. After carefully selecting your preference in height, skin colour and body features to create your dream partner, you want to keep this relationship going as long as possible. Purchasing a sex doll doesn’t come without its responsibilities, so here are some simple suggestions for sex doll cleaning and maintenance.

Storage solutions

Once you’ve ordered the doll of your dreams, you’ll need to find somewhere to store it. This is especially important if you don’t want any of your close friends and family spying your latest online purchase. Incorrect storage of your sex doll can cause pressure to build up around creased areas (underarms, elbows, knees), resulting in large tears and rips over time. Proper storage of your dolls is especially important if you like to play a little rough in the sheets, as you don’t want to be in the middle of thrusting when you accidentally rip an extra hole into your doll.

Don’t go in dry

When you have sex with another person, making sure your partner is wet before you enter will make the experience more enjoyable for the both of you. With your sex doll, similar rules apply. Using a water-based lubricant when entering the vaginal, anal or oral cavities will increase the longevity of your sex doll and make the experience a whole lot more pleasurable. Also, it’s important to remember your sex doll isn’t designed to bear heavy weight, so be careful when experimenting with sex positions. Take care not to put weight on the hands or wrists, and make sure you support your doll’s torso with pillows or furniture if you’re engaging in doggy-style.

Clean up after yourself

This is the MOST important part of proper sex doll maintainance – cleaning up after every use. This is to avoid any growth of bacteria occurring on your doll that may lead to a mould problem or sickness with the user. Use warm water and antibacterial soap to thoroughly clean the sex doll inside and out, before drying thoroughly to avoid moisture buildup. Using a renewal powder will help to keep the sex doll’s skin soft and taut, and should be used often if regular use occurs. Bathing or showering your sex doll monthly is also best practice to ensure your doll is thoroughly cleaned. Be careful not to submerge the head in water to avoid damaging the facial features and colouring. Instead, gently wipe with a wet cloth and never use a heat source to dry your doll, e.g hairdryer, as this can cause heat damage to occur to the silicone or TPE skin.
