Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential to prolong the lifespan and hygiene of a realistic sex doll. After each use, it’s recommended to rinse the doll with warm water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the material. Using a gentle, pH-balanced soap or a specialized cleaner designed for such dolls helps remove bodily fluids and oils. Pay particular attention to areas prone to buildup, such as orifices and joints. Once cleaned, thoroughly dry the doll with a soft towel, ensuring no moisture remains in crevices to prevent mold or bacterial growth. For storage, keep the doll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the materials over time. To maintain the doll’s appearance and softness, applying a light coat of talcum powder or cornstarch helps absorb residual moisture and keeps the surface smooth. Regular inspection for tears, scratches, or damage is also crucial; minor repairs can often be handled with appropriate adhesives or patch kits. If the doll has internal components like heating or voice systems, follow manufacturer instructions for maintenance and battery care. Maintaining hygiene and caring for the doll carefully ensures a more enjoyable and safe experience, extending its usability and preserving its realistic qualities.
