Sex toys are amazing. They’ve been spicing things up for many people throughout the years and have made it possible to experience unimaginable pleasure. During the last couple of years, the sex doll market has significantly grown. There are manufacturers all over the world making all kinds of amazing sex dolls. Some even offer full customization options for their products, making them as personal as they can get.
The thing about sex dolls is that there are half-dolls available as well. You don’t need to get a full-sized mannequin if you don’t want one. You can get the lower or upper part of the sex doll, or a specific part such as the pelvic region. No matter what kind of sex doll you get, one thing is certain – you’ll have the time of your life with it.
There’s one thing people tend to forget before buying a sex doll and it’s maintenance and cleaning. Because these dolls are used in such an intimate way, it’s extremely important to keep them clean and sterile. With full-sized dolls, it can be a bit challenging because of their size. Depending on the material used to make the doll, you can spend up to two hours just cleaning it after use.
The truth is, no matter what kind of sex doll you have or you’re planning on buying, keeping it clean and sterile is as important as it can get. Here’s how to do it.
Wash It After Every Time You Use It
There are two types of sex dolls you can find on the market. TPE and silicone sex dolls. No matter which one you choose to get for yourself, keeping it clean and hygienic is as important as it gets.
After using them for their purpose, sex dolls should be thoroughly cleaned. Using a water-based lubricant is implied so you’ll need to clean it up well for the next use. Depending on the material the sex doll is made of, you’ll need to spend some time cleaning it.
The cleaning process isn’t complicated. It’s recommended to use cold water right after sex, and finish it off with warm water and mild antibacterial soap. This is important because most people don’t use a sex doll every day. If it’s stored for a longer time, it’s also recommended to clean it up before use.
Washing is really important, but drying is as important. If you wash all the cavities and crevices but don’t dry them off before storing the sex doll, mold can start growing and it will be much harder to make it available for safe use again. Drying is done with a towel by gently dabbing the doll. Scrubbing it aggressively can cause damage to the skin and it won’t save up that much time. By dabbing your doll with a dry and clean towel, make sure you got all the water off it. Under no circumstances use a blow dryer because it can cause heat damage.
Silicone dolls are usually easier to maintain because TPE is much more porous and has much more small crevices that can fill up with water and dirt.
Special Care For Vaginal And Anal Cavities
When it comes to the more intimate parts of your sex doll, they’ll need a bit more special care than the rest of the doll. The mouth, vaginal and anal cavities are places where your private parts are placed and it’s important to maintain them as best as you can. Because of this, regular antibacterial soap isn’t quite enough for regular maintenance. You should use special products such as an irrigator or squirty bottle to thoroughly clean these cavities. Because it’s such a delicate part of every sex doll, keeping it as clean as possible will eliminate any possibility of you getting infected.
Talcum Powder Isn’t Only For Babies
Talcum powder and sex dolls sound like they don’t mix, but the truth is, talcum powder is the product that makes the skin soft and silky. After cleaning your sex doll, you should sprinkle and rub in talcum powder to the entire sex doll.
The material sex dolls are made of can feel sticky and hard when completely cleaned. That’s why it’s recommended to use some kind of product to make the dolls less sticky and softer. Talcum powder not only smells good but it is the perfect product that makes the sex dolls feel as lifelike as possible.
Use It Smart And Correctly Store It
Although this doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with cleaning your sex doll, it will make all the difference. When it comes to using it smartly, we mean that you should do the research and think about which lube you’ll be using. Water-based lubricants are the easiest to wash away and they’re recommended to use with any type of sex doll. There are many options to choose from, so following manufacturer specifications and recommendations will usually be the best choice.
Although some lubricants may feel better or provide you with a heating or cooling sensation, water-based lubes are the only ones that will keep your sex doll in mint condition and are the easiest to wash.
When it comes to storing your sex doll, most people think that keeping it in a dry and dark closet is enough. The truth is that your sex doll will deteriorate much quicker if you don’t keep it in its original packaging. You should also put clothes on it because less dust will fall onto it. This is especially important if you’re not using your sex doll every single day.
Thorough the cleaning process should be done at least once every 30 days and storing your sex doll correctly will ensure you’ll enjoy it for a very long time.
