TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) sex dolls are an investment in both pleasure and realism, but to ensure they last and maintain their lifelike feel, proper care and maintenance are essential. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you clean and maintain your TPE doll effectively.
Step 1: Gather Supplies
You’ll need a mild, non-abrasive soap, a soft sponge or cloth, a towel, baby powder (or cornstarch), and a doll stand or hanger for drying.
Step 2: Clean After Every Use
Start by removing any clothing your doll is wearing and gently wipe down her skin with a damp cloth to remove any bodily fluids, oils, or dirt. Use lukewarm water and mild soap to wash the body carefully. Be sure to avoid submerging the doll in water or using harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the TPE material. Focus on key areas like the genital region, mouth, and armpits, where bacteria can accumulate.
Step 3: Dry Thoroughly
After cleaning, pat your doll dry with a soft towel. Be gentle, as rubbing can cause damage. Ensure all areas are completely dry to prevent mold or mildew from forming. TPE is porous, so moisture can get trapped in hard-to-reach places. If possible, let the doll air dry completely before proceeding to the next step.
Step 4: Apply Powder
To restore your doll’s softness and prevent the TPE from becoming sticky, lightly dust her body with baby powder or cornstarch. This will keep the surface smooth and prevent it from attracting dust or oils. Make sure to powder all parts of the doll’s body, including less visible areas like under the arms and behind the knees.
Step 5: Store Correctly
Store your TPE sex doll in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using a storage bag or box can protect the doll from dust and UV rays, which can degrade the material over time. If your doll has a metal skeleton, take care not to bend the joints too much when storing her.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your TPE sex doll stays in optimal condition for a long time, maintaining her realistic feel and functionality.
