A well-cared-for sex doll stays looking great, feels amazing to the touch, and gives you a more satisfying, long-lasting experience. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about cleaning, storing, and caring for your doll the right way.
A doll that’s looked after properly:
-
gives you safe, hygienic enjoyment
-
stays in excellent condition for years
-
retains the value and attention you’ve invested
How Often Should You Clean Your Sex Doll?
-
After every use – Absolutely essential to prevent build-up, bacteria and odours.
-
Before first use – It’s brand new, but a quick clean is still a good idea.
-
Even when not in use – At least once a month, just to be safe.
What You’ll Need for Safe Maintenance
- ✔️ Neutral or intimate soap
- ✔️ Water-based lubricant
- ✔️ Pure talcum powder or corn starch (unscented only)
- ✔️ Odourless mineral oil (for TPE dolls only)
- ✔️ Soft brushes or feather dusters
- ✔️ Microfibre cloths
- ✔️ Vaginal irrigator, syringe or squeezable bottle
- ✔️ Cotton buds, sponges, soft tools
- ✔️ Nitrile gloves (for precision work)
- ✔️ Cool-air mini dryer (optional)
Step-by-Step: Cleaning the Body
External Cleaning (Body, Hands, Feet)
- Undress the doll completely
- Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild soap
- Gently wipe the entire body
- Rinse using a clean damp cloth
Internal Cleaning (Vagina, Anus, Mouth)
- Fill an irrigator or syringe with lukewarm water and mild soap
- Gently flush each cavity
- Repeat with clean water only
- Leave orifices open to dry – or use a cool-air dryer
🚫 Never use hot-air hairdryers – they can damage the material.
After Anal Use: Clean the cavity thoroughly right after use. Flush with lukewarm water and mild soap, rinse well, and leave it open to dry completely. Never allow fluids to sit — this can lead to odours, wear, or bacterial build-up.
Step-by-Step: Face & Head Care
- The head is usually removable and delicate.
- Wipe the face gently with a slightly damp cloth – avoid the eyes and mouth
- Never submerge the head in water
- Makeup should never be rubbed – only retouched using doll-specific products
Eyelashes, Eyes, Makeup
- Eyelashes: Can be re-applied with soft cosmetic glue
- Eyes: Often removable and interchangeable
- Makeup: Use only specialist pigments – not regular cosmetics
Hair Care: Wigs & Implanted Hair
Your doll’s hair is one of the first things you’ll notice — and so will anyone else. Whether you’re working with a wig or implanted strands, a bit of care goes a long way.
🧴 Synthetic Wig Care
- Gently brush the wig **before** washing
- If tangled, use fingertips to gently loosen strands
- Remove wig from the head
- Soak in cold or lukewarm water with mild shampoo
- Do not twist, scrub, or stretch fibres
- Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear
- Pat dry with a towel — do not rub
- Let air dry on a stand or towel
- Only restyle once fully dry — avoid heat unless labelled heat-safe
✨ Implanted Hair Care
- Do not brush or pull wet strands
- Use lukewarm water and pH-neutral soap
- Clean gently in straight, downward motions
- Pat dry with a towel
- Let air dry naturally — no dryers or heat
- Once dry, reshape gently using fingers or wide-tooth comb
- Never use styling products with alcohol or oil
A clean, soft hairstyle keeps your doll looking her best — and protects delicate rooting and skin from damage.
Daily Care: TPE vs Silicone
TPE – Moisturise & Soften
-
Apply baby oil (odourless mineral oil) every 30–60 days
-
Dust with talc or corn starch once absorbed
-
Regularly check for creases, wear, or friction marks
Silicone – Clean & Protect
-
No oil – just powder to remove stickiness
-
Avoid dark fabrics which may stain
- Silicone is tougher, but less flexible
| Material | Water-Based | Silicone-Based | Oil-Based |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPE | ✅ Safe | ❌ Avoid | ❌ Avoid |
| Silicone | ✅ Safe | ❌ Avoid | ❌ Avoid |
Dressing Tips: Avoid Fabric Transfer
TPE especially can absorb dyes from fabric. Here are the golden rules to follow:
- Avoid dark, synthetic or brand-new clothing
- Opt for pale cotton, linen, and breathable fabrics
- Always test clothes on a hidden area before extended wear
In case of stains:
- TPE: Use mineral oil or a dedicated stain remover
- Silicone: Use an alcohol-free silicone-safe cleaner
Never wash clothing on the doll: Even light fabrics can transfer dye when wet. Always remove clothes before laundering.
Storage: Where & How
Lie her flat or hang vertically using a stand. Avoid sitting her for long stretches. Always store away from heat, light, and damp. Use a blanket or breathable bag for protection.
- Ideal: lying flat on a soft surface or hanging from a stand
- Avoid keeping her seated too long – it may cause dents
- Keep away from direct sunlight, damp or heat sources
- Cover with a soft fleece blanket or breathable fabric bag
Extra Care: Don’t Overlook These Details
Eyes, Nails, Lashes
-
Can be replaced using dedicated kits
-
Use transparent cosmetic glue or TPE-safe adhesive (never glue sticks)
Makeup
-
Can be retouched with mineral pigments and soft brushes
-
For removal: gently wipe with a damp cloth (no harsh wipes)
Skeleton
-
Avoid forcing – only move limbs within their joint range
- Don’t twist limbs in unnatural directions
Do the joints loosen over time?
Yes, it’s normal for some joints (especially elbows and knees) to soften with use. Never force or overtighten them — always move limbs gently and within their natural range.
Heating
- Only use USB heaters or warm-air blowers if your doll is compatible
- Never use boiling water or open flames
Standing Feet: Avoid long-term standing without support. Use soft mats, and never attempt to walk or drag the doll. The bolts are for stabilisation — not locomotion.

Sex Doll Care: Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about doll care, maintenance or hygiene? You’re not alone. Here we’ve answered the most common concerns – based on what buyers actually ask. If you need personal help, we’re here for you.
What kind of powder should I use on a sex doll?
Stick to unscented baby powder or pure corn starch. Avoid anything with fragrance or additives — these can damage or stain the surface over time.
Can I leave my sex doll dressed?
Only with light cotton or linen fabrics, and not for long. Avoid dark or synthetic clothes — TPE material can absorb dyes and stain permanently.
Can I redo my doll’s makeup?
Yes — but only with doll-safe pigments or prosthetic makeup. Never use regular cosmetics, as they can cause staining or material damage.
The skin feels sticky — what should I do?
Clean and dry the area thoroughly, then apply talcum powder or corn starch with a soft brush. This restores a smooth, non-sticky texture.
What happens if I don’t clean my doll regularly?
Lack of cleaning can cause odours, stains, and material wear. Routine hygiene helps your doll last longer and feel better.
