How to maintain TPE sex dolls

Never never never use harming products

Before we talk about how to maintain the sex doll, we must remember that The more important than maintaining the TPE sex doll is that never use those harming products:

1. Solvents:

All kind of single solvents and solvent compounds like mineral spirits, odorless mineral spirits, paint thinner, nitro-thinner, and products containing solvents like alcohol-free baby wipes (includes ether and/or chlorine instead of alcohol) etc. Solvents are causing a dissolving process inside the TPE structure, are destroying the block-copolymers and therewith they are extremely harmful for TPE. Only official repair solvents for TPE dolls and their different TPE blends, provided from the vendors, are allowed according their repair manuals / videos and recommendations from the vendors and manufacturers.

2. Alcohol:

Pure alcohol like rubbing alcohol, alcohol thinned with water and products containing a lot of alcohol like baby wipes, desinfection wipes, sprays and soaps, toy cleaners, etc. Alcohol is producing micro-cuts (irreparable) and a dry out effect (porous, cracked and brittle ) inside the TPE structure. Spray perfume only on clothing and / or wig before you put on your doll. Do not spray perfume directly on the doll's TPE surface.

3. Silicone oil:

Products like wet condoms (includes dimeticone) and silicone-based lube. Silicone oil influences the TPE structure and makes it harder, cracked and brittle. Also a shrinking process of the TPE can happen.

4. Vegetable oil:

Products containing vegetable oil, like crèmes, soaps, shower gels with coconut oil, fruity oils, etc. Vegetable oils are sealing the TPE surface and therewith the necessary breathing function of TPE is stopped.

How to maintain your TPE sex doll?

Your TPE sex doll requires maintenance in order to lengthen her life span and ensure maximum durability while being used for her intended purposes.

1. When received the package, you are so excited. Please take care as below:

- Be extra careful when unboxing her. If you use any tool to open the box, be extra careful when cutting the cardboard box. Be patient, the reward is very near!
- make sure you are strong enough for the weight of your real doll before you lift the doll, make sure your back is straight and tighten your core.
- place your arm around her back and the other under her legs which should be bent
- keep her arms centered and on top of her thighs when moving
- make space and move any trip hazards. A trick is to use an office chair with wheels to move her around
- bath her to remove chemical smell then fan dry and fully powder. No need to take her to the bathroom, just with a wet cloth
- move her limbs with your other hand holding a joint, for example, hold elbow when moving forearm
- protect her legs with stockings or pantyhose, this avoids cuts, marks and makes getting clothes on easier
- when putting on the wig, be very careful not to place strap over the ears

2. Wash Your doll before using. How to wash?

Wash the realistic sex doll with and then apply some baby powder. They say traditional baby powder can be unhealthy for the respiratory risk that the talc poses, so you can use also cornstarch. Cornstarch is non toxic and food grade. Non harmful to yourself, the doll or the environment. It can be mixed with flavored powder and licked off of her if you like!!
It is completely unnecessary to ever take your doll to the bathroom to wash. I highly discourage this method of washing your doll. To clean your doll simply all you need is the spray bottle, baby powder and makeup brush. Place your doll horizontally on a flat surface such as a bed or soft foam pad. Using the spray bottle make a soft soap mixture and mix.
Use an empty bottle and make a mixture of normal hand soap / shower gel and normal water in a ratio of 1:5.
We are going to wash the front half of her body now. Spray her front half and wipe using a soft sponge or cloth, do this until her torso, arms legs have been cleaned. Dry her with the microfiber towel and then powder her to remove the tacky feeling to get the smooth skin feeling. I strongly recommend to dispense the baby powder or cornstarch into a small container, so it is easy access and use the makeup brush to apply all over the parts you just cleaned her at. When you are done, flip her over and repeat the process to her back.
After washing off the doll with water and soap there can still be stains and more persistent dirt left on the TPE, which isn't always very noticeable to the eye depending on light and the skin color of the love doll. You can get rid of most of this by stroking baby oil repeatedly in same direction along one body part at a time, and you'll quickly see how dirt is collected by the end of the strokes. Simply pick that dirt up with a fiber towel and repeat until it looks clean enough. After cleaning the whole doll like this, you can continue to rub it all in again with baby oil and let it soak.

3. Stains from clothes

New clothes may stain the skin of the doll. Specially dark colours. A very good method to avoid this is to wash clothing in sink. You change the water and repeat until the water is clear.
After the clothing is dry, you can dress your realdoll. If the skin of your doll gets stained, apply the cream included in the package and let it dry for a few hours. Watch video of it in our video section.

4. When have sex with doll, recommend Using lube

We recommend to use water based lubrication for sexual intercourse with your doll. But there is some people who prefer it without. Just decide yourself. It is safe to use Vaseline or baby oil for lube alternative too. If you want to use regular lubricant, make absolutely sure it is water-based and not silicone-based because it could damage the TPE material.

5. After using, how to clean the holes

Each doll comes with a vaginal irrigator (or vaginal flusher, picture attached). After using it, flush the holes with the water pump we provide you. Then insert a cloth in the holes to absorb the humidity left.
If you need to clean the outside part, just wash the sex doll with water and soap. Wipe it until it is dry, never use a hairdryer, because if you heat the doll more than 40oC it can start melting. Then apply some baby powder on her skin, it will absorb any humidity left and improve the touch feeling.
To dry the holes, we suggest using tampons, one for the mouth and 2 for the vagina (behind each other) and 2 for the anus opening (behind each other). Tampons are much easier to insert, soaking off the moisture, do not produce fluffs and can be easily removed with the strip. The tampons are soaking off most of the sperm-lube mixture. That allows you to move the doll without the fear that something drops out. You can remove the tampons after a few minutes.

6. Don't forget storing the doll

To avoid wearing out the underarm or other parts of the skin, please keep arms and legs straight and paralleltothe body when not in use. If you store it in a bent position for a long time, for example sitting or with her arms up, you will take the risk to make her skin folds look like scars even in normal position.
As TPE is a porous material, it is possible the appearance of clothes stains on her skin.If you use dark color clothes it is more likely than if you useclothes with lightercolors, especially when new. To prevent clothes from fading on the skin, be sure to undress the doll when not in use. Anyway, in dollker.com we include a cream to remove those stains. You just have to apply the cream on the stain and let it work for 2 hours. You can watch it in our video section here.

7. TPE Rehydration

Once a month it is recommended to hydrate the entire doll with mineral oil to keep the doll factory new. Similar to washing your doll you apply baby oil on the front half of the body and wait approx 2 hours for absorption and flip the doll over and repeat. Be sure to remove baby powder first before oiling her body. Vaseline can be used under high stress areas such as the arm pits, crotch and vagina but requires approx. 12 hours for absorption. Vaseline and Nivea creme has a higher mineral oil content than baby oil. For hydrating the entire body, baby oil is the proper choice.

We highly recommend you follow those steps to maintain your real life sex dolls. Then you can use it for more long time.
