Maintaining a sex doll properly is essential to ensure its longevity, hygiene, and overall appearance. In New Zealand, where cleanliness and safety are highly valued, proper care routines can make a significant difference. Regular cleaning after each use helps prevent bacteria buildup and preserves the doll’s material. Typically, a gentle soap or specialized cleaner should be used with warm water to clean the internal and external surfaces, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
For silicone dolls, it’s important to handle them carefully to prevent tears or damage. TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) dolls require gentle cleaning as well, but they are more susceptible to staining and damage from sharp objects. After cleaning, thorough drying is crucial—use a soft cloth to pat the doll dry, and ensure no moisture remains inside or in creases. Applying a renewal powder or cornstarch can help maintain the doll’s skin texture and prevent stickiness.
Storage is equally important. Keep the doll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause discoloration or material degradation. Covering the doll with a cloth or storing it in a dedicated bag prevents dust accumulation. Regular maintenance not only keeps the doll looking and feeling realistic but also ensures safe, hygienic use for years to come. For New Zealand users, local climate considerations—such as humidity—should also be factored into storage and maintenance routines.
