TPE Doll Care
What You’ll Need:
- Mild, unscented soap 🧼 and warm water
- Microfiber cloths 🧽 and soft brushes
- Baby oil (for monthly conditioning)
- Baby powder or cornstarch (for reducing stickiness)
- Fragrance-free body lotion (e.g., hypoallergenic brands)
- Pure petroleum jelly (use sparingly)
- Benzoyl peroxide acne cream (for stain removal)

How to Clean a TPE Sex Doll (First Cleaning)
Gently clean your TPE doll with mild, unscented soap and warm water using a microfiber cloth to remove factory residues. Repeat 2–3 times for thorough cleaning. Avoid scrubbing to preserve the skin’s texture. Air dry completely, then apply a thin layer of baby oil overnight to condition the TPE. Dust with baby powder or cornstarch the next day to eliminate stickiness.
Skin Care
- Weekly: Apply fragrance-free lotion to high-friction areas (elbows, knees, armpits, pubic region). Let absorb for 6–8 hours.
- Monthly: Condition with a thin layer of baby oil to maintain softness. Use sparingly to avoid over-softening.
- Powdering: Dust lightly with cornstarch or baby powder using a makeup brush if sticky.
Orifice Cleaning & Drying
- Flush Cavities: Clean vaginal, anal, or oral cavities with warm water and mild soap using a vaginal irrigator or squeeze bottle.
- Disinfect (Optional): Use 3% hydrogen peroxide, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners.
- Dry Thoroughly: Use drying sticks, tampons, or a small fan to remove moisture. Never store with moisture.
- Use Condoms: Simplify cleanup and reduce bacteria for frequent use.
Stain Removal
- Wash dark clothing before use to prevent dye transfer. Avoid prolonged contact with strong dyes.
- For stains, apply benzoyl peroxide cream for 1–2 hours, rinse, and repeat if needed. Test on a small area first.
Storage & Positioning
-
- Store in a neutral position (lying flat or standing with a hanging kit) to avoid stress on joints or skin.
- Keep away from sunlight, humidity, or heat sources to prevent degradation.
- Avoid contact with strong plastics (e.g., PVC, vinyl) or colored materials, as they may cause staining. Use a dye-free blanket or TPE doll flight case.
