• Comb (provided)
• Sulfate-free soap or mild liquid soap
• Water
• Vaginal irrigator (provided)
• Soft cloth (microfibre is ideal) or sponge
• Dry soft towel or chamois cloth
• Powder (corn starch/flour or baby powder)
• Powder brush
• Mineral baby oil
• Vaseline / petroleum jelly
• Eyelash glue
• Fingernail glue
• Blush / make-up palette of various pinks, reds and browns

• Please clean your doll before its very first use to remove factory residue.
• Dolls should be cleaned monthly if they are not stored away from dust.
• We recommend cleaning dolls after every sexual use in the key areas.

• We recommend TPE dolls be oiled 3–4 times a year maximum.
• Do not over-oil.
• Apply a very small amount of Vaseline / petroleum jelly to high-stress areas, e.g. knees, inner groin and openings, when needed.
• Apply corn starch/flour to your doll before storing for long periods.
• Do not use alcohol or silicone-based products, e.g. those found in lubricants, wipes and perfumes.

1. Use a male or female condom during sex to contain fluid.
2. Purchase a doll with a removable vagina insert for easy cleaning.
3. For a fixed vagina, use a fan or insert tampons to assist with drying.
4. When using powder or oil, it’s best to hang your doll first or lay it down.
5. For localised cleaning, a small spray bottle is great — mix soap to water 1:5.

1. Start by removing any excess lubricant or body fluid with a soft towel.
2. Remove the vaginal insert if applicable.
3. Remove the wig and clean this separately.
4. The insert can be washed in anti-bacterial warm soapy water in a sink and allowed to air-dry thoroughly.
5. For the full doll, lay your doll on towels on a bed and use a spray bottle mix of (preferably sulfate-free) soap and clean warm water. Gently massage the doll’s skin with your hands, or wipe down with a clean sponge.

Showering or bathing your doll

It is safest to lie your doll on top of towels and spray then wipe, but if you are confident handling your doll’s weight and enjoy water-play, you can shower or bathe her if you take care of the skeleton.

• Try not to let the neck or head become too wet — this prevents damage to the skeleton and potential mould.
• Cover the metal areas with a plastic bag, or keep the feet (with metal bolts) out of the bath.
• Wet dolls are slippery — a plastic stool in a shower is safer than standing.

Important

• Do not use abrasive soaps or any other general cleaning products.
• Do not use hard sponges or wire brushes as these will cause damage.
• It’s easiest to lie your doll on towels on a bed to allow her to dry.
• Tip: try spreading the legs and using a small fan to speed up drying.
• Do not put the doll near an open fire or a radiator to dry.

To clean any of the openings, we recommend using a water irrigator to spray into the opening, allowing the water to run out. You can use a shower-hose attachment if you don’t have a water irrigator, but only on a low and gentle setting.

Alternatively, you can simply use a wet (soft) cloth to clean manually with tepid soapy water. Ensure you clean thoroughly, reaching all areas of the opening.

You can also clean the openings while showering or bathing your doll using your hand or a small sponge (take care of the skeleton as above).

• With all methods of cleaning, leave your doll’s legs slightly open so the vagina and anus are open to the air and can dry naturally.
• Don’t leave your doll’s legs too far apart, as this can cause damage over time.
• Once the doll is completely dry, apply a small amount of Vaseline to the openings.
• Do not use abrasive soaps or any other harsh chemical cleaning products.

1. Remove the head from the body.
2. Remove the wig if possible.
3. Apply warm antibacterial soapy water with a sponge or cotton cloth and gently massage the face.
4. Gently pat the face dry with a non-abrasive cloth and allow it to air-dry naturally before re-attaching it to the body.

Please note: make-up is semi-permanent and can fade or be removed with mineral oil, so it’s best to avoid excessive cleaning or rubbing to preserve the make-up.

• Pay close attention not to damage the eyes and eyelashes, and avoid getting these areas wet.
• If you would like to remove the eyes before cleaning, they are removable from the front by gently stretching the socket open, taking care not to damage the eyelashes.

• Do not submerge your doll’s head in water at any point.
• Do not use abrasive soaps or any other harsh cleaning products.
• Do not use harsh materials or hard/sharp objects.
• Do not apply too much pressure on the skin or skeleton.
• Do not use a hairdryer or any other heating device on your doll.
• Do not try to speed up drying by leaving her near a radiator, fire or any other heating device (a cool fan will do the trick).
• Do not apply perfumes, as these contain alcohol which is very drying.*
• Do not use baby wipes — yes, really (the ingredients damage TPE).
• Do not use any kind of solvent unless advised for repair.
• Do not use silicone-based lubricants or products.
• Do not dress or store her in dark clothes unless checked for colour-fastness, e.g. soak repeatedly in a basin until the water is clear and the dye no longer runs.

*Tip: use cinnamon in powder, or spray perfume on wigs/clothes if you wish.

Ensuring your doll has dried completely is important to limit the chance of damage.

• Pat dry gently with a clean, soft cotton cloth and allow the skin to air-dry fully.
• Once dry, you can apply a little powder to your doll’s body, as it prevents damage from friction.
• Do not over-powder, as it can be very drying and draw out the oils in the TPE. It is not necessary to powder often.
• Many owners recommend using Vaseline in the openings as both a protective measure and a lubricant.

1. Always remove the wig from the doll’s head before cleaning.
2. Give the wig a comb before cleaning, starting at the ends first.
3. It’s easiest to clean in a small hand basin — a bath is great if the hair is quite long.
4. Fill the basin with cold water and add a coin-sized squirt of soap to make a mini “bubble bath” for the wig. Sulfate-free shampoo is best.
5. Submerge the wig, agitate it gently, then leave it to soak for approx. 5 minutes.
6. Drain the sink and rinse gently from the top until the water runs clear with no bubbles.
7. Comb the hair straight after cleaning and allow the wig to air-dry on a wig stand. Any curls or style will bounce back.

• You need to use cold water, or you risk losing the style, e.g. curls.
• Do not allow the wig to dry on the doll’s head.
• Do not use hair products to style the hair — they may damage the doll’s skin and face.

Storing

• Avoid storing the doll in direct sunlight, as this can cause damage and discolouration.
• Store the doll at room temperature in a dry environment. Avoid bathrooms, garages or other storage areas that can become damp or prone to mould.
• Do not leave the doll on artificial or stained materials, including leather sofas, or in dark clothing for long periods.
• Keep the doll away from open flames.
• Avoid leaving the doll in difficult positions for extended periods — the skin can become stretched, damaged and even split if not returned to a natural position after use. Natural means lying as though boxed.
• We recommend storing the doll lying flat in a sex doll storage box or the original packaging box. Standing (with support, e.g. a pillow behind the backside against the wall) is also fine for dolls that are not too busty, as is lying in your bed if you have a memory foam mattress.

Handling and moving

• Follow the general rules for moving heavy objects: keep your back straight and bend with the knees and hips.
• Dolls are easiest to move when held vertically. We recommend wrapping both arms around the doll’s waist in a “bearhug” position.
• Do not lift the doll by any of the limbs or the head — always hold the body.
• Do not throw her over your shoulder, as you could put pressure on the spine.

Replacing fingernails

1. Lay the doll in the neutral position.
2. Align the loose fingernails with the bare fingernails to work out which nail matches which finger.
3. Apply a thin, even layer of glue to the bare fingernail area. Make sure the area is clean and dry first, free from any dirt or talc.
4. Do not over-apply the glue — avoid it spilling outside the nail area.
5. Once aligned correctly, press and hold the nail on for 5 seconds without touching any glue.

Excess glue is difficult to remove, so it’s best to avoid spills altogether. If glue does spill, remove it immediately with a microfibre cloth and hot soapy water. To remove fingernails, use tweezers and gently pull the nail toward you, away from the doll.

Replacing the eyes

1. Lay the doll in the neutral position.
2. Gently and carefully pull the eyelids apart (up and down, not left and right) with one hand, without touching the eyelashes or make-up.
3. With the other hand, remove the eye and remove all the packing.
4. “Scrunch” the packing tightly into the new eye.
5. With one hand, pull the eyelids apart again, without touching the eyelashes or make-up.
6. With the other hand, pop the new eye into the socket and adjust.

Reattaching loose eyelashes

1. Lay your doll down flat, facing upwards.
2. Apply a small amount of glue to a fine-tipped household “tool” such as a paperclip, pin or cocktail stick — we recommend a cocktail stick.
3. Pull the eyelash gently back and apply glue to the back of the eyelash (not the doll), and allow it to go tacky for a moment.
4. Holding the ends of the eyelash and not touching the glue, press it carefully into position.
5. Hold for 5 seconds and let go.
