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)
• Water-based lubricant only (avoid silicone-based lubricants, as they can damage TPE). See our water-based lubricants.
• Optional: vaginal irrigator, drying sticks/tampons, small fan, TPE care accessories

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.

Inspection & Repair

• • • Check monthly for cuts or joint issues. Fix minor tears with a TPE repair kit. Follow instructions carefully, ensuring proper ventilation and curing time (typically 24 hours).
    • Move joints gently to avoid skeleton damage.
    • Contact the manufacturer for significant repairs.

Silicone Doll Care

What You’ll Need:

• • • Mild soap and warm water or pH-balanced sex toy cleaner
    • Microfiber cloths
    • Cornstarch/baby powder (highly recommended, for improving skin texture and reducing stickiness)
    • Water-based lubricant (safest choice; check manufacturer guidelines before using silicone-based lubricants, as they may damage some silicone dolls). See our water-based lubricants.
    • Silicone adhesive kit (for repairs)

How to Clean a Silicone Sex Doll (First Cleaning)

Rinse with warm water and mild soap or a pH-balanced toy cleaner to remove factory residues. Silicone is non-porous, making cleaning simple. Dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth or air dry.

Skin Care

• • • Avoid petroleum jelly or oil-based products, as they degrade silicone.
    • Optionally, dust with cornstarch for a silky, non-sticky texture using a soft brush. Avoid talcum powder, as it may leave residue over time.

Orifice Cleaning & Drying

• • • Flush Cavities: Clean with warm soapy water or toy cleaner after use.
    • Dry Thoroughly: Use a microfiber cloth, drying sticks, or a fan to remove moisture.
    • Condoms (Optional): Simplify cleanup for convenience.

Stain Removal

• • • Wash dark clothing to prevent dye transfer.
    • Clean minor stains with mild soap. Some marks fade naturally.

Storage & Positioning

• • • Store in a neutral pose to avoid pressure marks.
    • Avoid extreme temperatures or sunlight.
    • Avoid contact with strong plastics (e.g., PVC, vinyl) or colored materials to prevent staining. Use a silicone doll flight case or dye-free blanket.

Inspection & Repair

• • • Check for tears periodically. Fix minor damage with a silicone glue. Apply adhesive in a well-ventilated area and allow 24–48 hours to cure fully for a strong bond.
    • Move joints carefully to avoid skeleton damage.
    • Contact the manufacturer for major repairs.

General Maintenance Tips

• • • Clean Promptly: Clean after use to ensure hygiene.
    • Lubricant Choice: Use water-based lubricants for TPE; water-based or silicone-safe for silicone.
    • Rotate Clothing: Change outfits to prevent imprints or dye transfer.
    • Dry Thoroughly: Prevent mold with complete drying, especially in orifices.
    • Wig Care: Clean wigs with mild shampoo and air dry. Store on a stand.
    • Joint Care: Do not exceed movement range of joints. Do not use excessive force.
