One of the top questions we often get from our customers is how to keep their sex dolls in the perfect condition. There are many ways to keep a doll in workable condition, but the best way is:
Regular skin maintenance
Keeping the doll standing or lying down
Being careful when washing the doll
Apply baby powder
Skin Maintenance
The simulated skin of our dolls uses imported polymer human body silica gel as raw material, which is non-toxic and tasteless. When the silicone product is placed for a long time, oil leakage will appear on the surface. This is because silicone contains silicone oil, which is a normal phenomenon. Please wipe it gently with a towel. Moreover, when the doll is used and placed, the surface will adhere to dust and stains.
To maintain the good performance of the silicone or TPE skin as well as the surface of the silicone it is recommended to wipe the doll using a towel at least once a month even if you don’t use it. The maintenance interval varies depending on the conditions of use and the environment in which it is stored, usually once a month.
Use a sponge or towel to gently wipe the surface of the doll with warm water. If the surface of the silicone is sticky, please wipe it with soapy water several times. Do not use force when wiping the skin. Do not use corrosive cleaning agents when wiping the surface of silicone, including strong acids, strong alkaline solutions, strong disinfectants or detergents. It can be cleaned with soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, shower gel or a mild detergent. After the surface is dry, apply a scorpion powder or talcum powder on the surface of the skin. When you are powdering, wear a mask to avoid inhaling dust.
Joint Maintenance
When the doll’s joints remain curved or bent for a long time, wrinkles may appear on the surface because of improper placement and long-term stress on the surface.
For example, after sitting in a chair for a long time, the belly of the doll may press out some horizontal stretch marks. Maintaining a long period of abnormality will also greatly increase the risk of breakage of the sponge layer. Please restore the doll to the factory position after use, reducing the stress on each joint.
The ideal factory position is lying down on the back with the leg and arms full extended or standing up with the leg and arms fully extended. You can use the picture as reference:
Make-Up Paint Maintenance
When the doll is made in the factory, her make-up is applied using a silicone or TPE friendly paint. This paint will usually wear off with time (years) but would never completely disappear if cleaned gently. Do not use force to wipe, especially the makeup and eyebrow/eyelashes. Please pay attention to the wiping force when using and cleaning. If the force is too much, the eyebrows may fall off or fade. Once it’s faded, it’s hard to fix. General cosmetics can be applied to a doll’s face, such as lipstick and blush, but please do not use overly thick greasy makeup for application on the face, which may make it very difficult to clean. Do not apply force when removing makeup. Use soapy water or makeup remover and gently wipe.
Cleaning
After you’ve cleaned the skin of your doll using our recommended products from the skin maintenance paragraph, give the doll a whole-body powder. You can use ordinary baby powder. The purpose is to remove the oils and the dirt from the surface of the skin. After that:
Rinse the power to remove the oils and dirt by apply a wet towel to the surface of the skin
Once the doll is dry reapply another powder as a protective layer
When storing, keep the body dry and clean
Having a doll does require some patience and care. It is a very expensive investment and you want it to last a long time. If you use these methods outlined in our article, you will be able to extend the life of your doll.
It’s not an easy question to answer because a sex doll’s life will vary depending on usage and care. Another problem is that sex dolls are a rather new product on the market and there just isn’t enough information out there to be able to reliably estimate the question.
However, here at Sex Doll Queen we want to be able to answer our customer questions as best we can, so we did some research both on doll usage and material degradation.
We figured out an estimate for how long sex dolls will usually last:
Sex dolls will usually last anywhere between 2 to 10 years depending on the material quality as well as how it is used.
Let’s look at some of the common factors that will influence a sex doll’s life expectancy:
1 Usage
The way you use a sex doll is a primary driving factor for how long she will last. It doesn’t matter if she’s made of silicone or TPE if you beat the crap out of her she won’t last very long.
Of course, as a user, you want to use your sex doll and you might have some crazy fantasies and we’re all for it, but how can you play out those fantasies without damaging your beautiful sex doll?
Here are some of our strategies:
Avoid dragging her across the floor or bumping her all over the place when you move her from place to place. This is an easy way to tear your doll our cause damage to her joints. Simply pick her up and put her where she needs to be and be careful when you do it.
Clean your sex doll every time you use her. It doesn’t take more than 5 minutes once you get used to it. If you leave your fluids all over the doll you run a real risk of creating bacteria and fungus inside of your doll which will damage the material. It can even become a health risk to you.
Store her in the right position. She can be lying down or standing up, it doesn’t matter, but you always want her joints to be fully extended. This way you’re not keeping pressure on her joints for extended periods of time which can damage your doll and cause the joints to become loose or even break. If the interior skeleton is broken, then you can pretty much say goodbye to your beautiful doll. Good places to store your doll are inside a crate or box or standing in your wardrobe. You want it to be cool and dark as exposure to the sun can discolor your doll and overheating the doll can melt the skin.
2 Buy Your Doll from A Reputable Seller
No matter what type of material you decide to buy, TPE or silicone, the manufacturer can use different grades of raw goods. It is recommended that you buy your doll from someone that knows what the heck they are doing.
Here at Sex Doll Queen our TPE is a thermoplastic copolyester which is a high grade of TPE that comes with good fatigue resistance and tear strength. We import all our TPE from Japan.
It is important that your store uses a high grade of TPE because it will have a big impact on its overall life. Low grade TPE’s will only last towards the low end of 2 years where higher grade TPE’s can help you keep your doll for many more years.
3 Makeup Will Fade Quite Quickly
Your doll’s lipstick and makeup will fade away pretty quickly when your start using her. This is normal and will depend on usage. You can apply any type of make-up to your doll and it will not damage her. Time to start watching some YouTube tutorials!
4 Use Appropriate Clothing
Using appropriate clothing for your doll is essential. If you have large buttons or chains on the clothing this may tear the dolls skin. Try to use clothing that have elastic properties and don’t possess any sort of paraphilia on it.
Another important thing to do is remove the clothing when you are done with the doll. Leaving clothes on your doll for many days may cause the clothes to discolor on your doll. This cannot be undone, and your doll will have weird colored marks on her. Make sure to wash the clothes at least once before your sex doll wears it.
If you really want to shower or bath with your sex doll, then there are some important things you need to do and consider:
Her Material: TPE is not heat resistant whereas silicone can go in hot water without a problem
Her Head: Don’t submerge her head and hair under water as this can wreck her hair as well as allow water in between the head and body area which can damage the interior exoskeleton
Drying Her: You will want to dry the doll carefully making sure that there is absolutely no water left on her body after a bath or shower. Pat her skin gently using a dry towel.
You might be struggling with how to clean your sex doll. Don’t worry, cleaning these dolls isn’t as complicated as it sounds. In this guide, we’ll walk you through step-by-step instructions on how to keep your sex doll safe and in perfect condition. Whether you’re a first-time owner or just looking for some practical tips, we’ve got you covered!
1 Why Is Cleaning Your Sex Doll Important?
Cleaning your sex doll isn’t just about keeping it hygienic—it’s also about making sure it lasts. Regular cleaning helps preserve its feel and appearance. Things like sweat, oils, and even makeup can build up over time, leading to stains or odors.
If left unchecked, these can break down the materials and make your doll feel less lifelike. For example, TPE sex dolls can absorb oils, which might cause the surface to get sticky or discolored.
It’s also important to avoid using harsh chemicals or scrubbing too hard. TPE is especially sensitive, and rough cleaning can damage the surface or wear down the texture.
While Silicone sex dolls are a bit tougher, they’re still vulnerable to discoloration or surface wear if cleaned improperly. And don’t forget about drying—if water gets trapped in joints or crevices, it can lead to mold over time.
2 How to Clean TPE Sex Dolls?
TPE sex dolls require a little extra care since the material is softer and more porous. Here’s how to clean your TPE doll properly:
Set Up a Cleaning Area Start by preparing a clean, flat surface—like a bathtub or shower area—where water can easily drain. Lay down a towel to protect the doll and make the process easier.
Rinse with Warm Water Use warm water (never hot) to gently rinse the doll’s body. Avoid soaking the doll completely, as water can get into the joints or crevices, which can lead to issues like mold.
Use Mild Soap Mix a mild, body-safe soap with warm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe down the doll’s body, focusing on any areas that might have accumulated dirt or oils. Be careful around sensitive spots like joints and orifices.
Clean the Crevices For hard-to-reach areas, like between fingers or around joints, use a soft brush or cotton swab. These spots need gentle attention, so don’t scrub too hard.
Final Rinse and Drying Once you’ve cleaned the doll, rinse it thoroughly with warm water to remove any soap. Then, use a soft towel to gently pat the doll dry. Don’t rub—just blot it to avoid damaging the material.
Let It Air Dry Allow your TPE doll to air dry completely before moving it. You can use a fan to speed up the process. Make sure no moisture is left in the joints.
Apply Cornstarch Once dry, lightly dust the doll with cornstarch. This will help maintain its smooth, lifelike feel and prevent it from becoming sticky. Avoid using scented powders or talcum powder.
3 How to Clean Silicone Sex Dolls?
Silicone sex dolls are a bit more durable and less porous than TPE, but they still need proper care. Here’s how to clean your silicone doll:
Rinse with Moderate Water Temperature Silicone is less absorbent than TPE, so you can rinse it more freely with warm water. You can use a handheld showerhead or a gentle flow of water to wash away dirt and oils. Unlike TPE, silicone can handle more water, but avoid hot temperatures.
Use Soap or Cleaner For silicone, you can use a slightly stronger, body-safe soap. Lather the soap onto a sponge or cloth and gently wipe down the doll’s surface. Silicone is more resilient to soap than TPE, so you can clean the doll more thoroughly.
Clean Detail Areas with a Brush When cleaning tight spots like joints or facial features, use a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush. Silicone is more durable, so you can be a bit more vigorous in cleaning, but still avoid rough scrubbing.
Rinse Off Soap Make sure to rinse the doll thoroughly with warm water to remove all soap residue. Since silicone doesn’t absorb oils or soap, it’s important to ensure nothing is left on the surface that could cause buildup or irritation.
Pat Dry Gently After rinsing, gently pat the doll with a clean, soft towel to remove excess water. Silicone can tolerate more drying pressure than TPE, but it’s still best to blot gently to preserve the surface’s smoothness.
Let the Doll Air Dry Place the doll in a well-ventilated area to let it air dry completely. Silicone dries faster than TPE, but it’s essential to ensure the doll is fully dry, especially around the joints.
Powder Lightly (Optional) Once completely dry, you can apply a light dusting of baby powder or cornstarch to maintain the doll’s smooth surface. Silicone doesn’t need as much powder as TPE, but it can help prevent any stickiness from developing.
The frequency of cleaning your sex doll depends on how often it’s used and the specific care needs of the material. Here’s a breakdown of general guidelines to help you keep your doll in top condition:
After Every Use
If you’re using the doll regularly, it’s important to clean it thoroughly after each use. This ensures you remove any bodily fluids, oils, or dirt that may have accumulated during use. Cleaning immediately after use will also help prevent any buildup of bacteria or unpleasant odors.
TPE sex dolls: Clean them carefully using mild soap and water to avoid damaging the material, especially around the joints and orifices.
Silicone sex dolls: These are more durable, but still require a good rinse with warm water and soap to keep them hygienic.
Weekly Maintenance
Even if you’re not using the doll every day, it’s a good idea to give it a quick cleaning once a week. This helps prevent dust, oils, and other debris from accumulating. For non-frequent users, weekly maintenance also ensures that the doll remains fresh.
TPE sex dolls: Dust with cornstarch or apply light cleaning to maintain softness and avoid stickiness.
Silicone sex dolls: A light rinse and powdering will keep the surface smooth and help maintain the doll’s appearance.
Deep Cleaning Every Month
If the doll hasn’t been used heavily, a deeper cleaning once a month will ensure it stays in optimal condition. This cleaning should involve a thorough rinse, soap scrub, and application of powder to keep everything fresh and prevent any buildup from body oils, sweat, or other residues.
TPE sex dolls: Follow the regular cleaning steps, and be sure to inspect the doll for any signs of wear or buildup, especially around sensitive areas.
Silicone sex dolls: A deeper clean may include using a soft brush to clean more stubborn areas, followed by a good rinse and drying.
If your doll gets visibly dirty, smells, or shows any signs of buildup, it’s time for a cleaning, even if it’s sooner than your regular schedule. A proper cleaning will help preserve the doll and keep it hygienic.
Storage: When not in use, store your doll in a cool, dry place to minimize the buildup of dirt or bacteria.
Avoid Over-Cleaning: While it’s important to clean after each use, over-cleaning or using harsh chemicals too often can degrade the material over time. Stick to gentle cleaning methods and don’t overdo it.
By sticking to these general guidelines, you can help ensure your doll stays clean, fresh, and in excellent condition for longer.
5 Conclusion

1.2 Careful disposal methods
If you want to dispose of the sex doll yourself, there are several careful methods you can use. Here are some suggestions on how to dispose of sex dolls inconspicuously, some of which are environmentally friendly.
The first trick is to disguise the sex doll. You can use paper packaging or newspapers, or put it in an unrecognizable box before throwing it away. This will hide it among other garbage and ensure that it is handled carefully. It is a simple option that can avoid attracting curious eyes.
Another option is to disassemble the sex toy. By disassembling it into individual parts, you can reduce its size and recognizable appearance, making it easier to handle. Use the appropriate tools to avoid injuries and separate different materials (plastics, metals, electronics) for more efficient recycling. This method also allows materials to be sorted and sent to appropriate recycling centers.
1.3 Farewell to privacy
I’ve been in this situation myself! A customer messaged me saying he was almost caught by his neighbour while disposing of a toy… Later, I suggested that they break the doll into small pieces and collect them in bags so that others can’t see them, which is a socially acceptable and practical solution that makes it easier to dispose of and protects your privacy. So you can hand it over to the garbage collector or throw it in the nearest recycling bin.
2 When should you throw away your doll?
Here are some situations to judge when to throw away sex dolls:
2.1 From the perspective of physical damage
Severe damage: If the doll has a large area of tears and damage, such as large cracks in the body, and the limb joints are broken and cannot be repaired, in this case, it will not only affect the user experience but also may There are safety hazards, such as the broken edges may scratch the skin, etc., you should consider throwing it away.
Material aging: For dolls made of silicone or TPE, if there are serious aging phenomena such as discoloration, hardening, and stickiness, it means that the material has deteriorated, which will greatly reduce the touch and appearance of the doll and make it no longer suitable for continued use.
Filling problem: If the doll’s filling is exposed, lumped, or has odor, mold, etc., it will not only affect the comfort, but may also be harmful to health, and it should be discarded at this time.
2.2 From the perspective of hygiene and health
Cannot be cleaned: Despite regular cleaning, if there are still stains and bacteria on the surface of the doll that are difficult to remove, especially in some hidden parts, a large number of pathogens may breed. Continuing to use may cause health problems and need to be thrown away.
Allergic reaction: If the skin is found to have an allergic reaction to the material of the doll during use, such as redness, itching, rash, etc., it means that the body is not adapted to it. For the sake of health, it should be stopped and thrown away.
2.3 From a functional perspective
Electronic component failure: For intelligent sex dolls with electronic components, such as robot sex dolls, if the electronic components fail, such as failure to boot normally, failure of artificial intelligence function, damage to the charging system, etc., and the repair cost is too high or cannot be repaired, however, if the damage to the electronic function does not affect the normal use of the doll, we do not recommend discarding it.
Functional obsolescence: With the development of technology, if more advanced and more demand-oriented products appear, and the existing doll functions are far from meeting the needs, such as new dolls with more realistic interactive functions, and the old dolls are relatively backward, you can also consider replacing the new ones and throwing away the old ones.
When considering throwing away the doll, you should also pay attention to environmental protection. Try to disassemble and sort it, recycle the recyclable parts, and dispose of the non-recyclable parts in accordance with local garbage disposal regulations to avoid pollution to the environment.
3 What are the different materials used in sex dolls?
Sex dolls are made of a variety of materials, each of which has its recycling method:
Silicone: Can be recycled in certain specialized centers.
Plastic: Sort by type (PET, PP, etc.) and store in appropriate recycling bins.
Electronics: Dispose of as electrical and electronic waste.
Metals: Recyclable, usually handled by waste collection centers.
Knowing the composition of your sex doll is crucial to determining the best way to recycle it. Each material has a different impact on the environment, and it’s important to dispose of them correctly to minimize the impact.
Also, it’s important to note that silicone sex toys are among the most durable, but that doesn’t mean they’re indestructible. When you’re ready to discard it, check to see if it’s 100% silicone. If it is, you can recycle it at a facility that accepts silicone, or send it back to a specialized recycling service.
3.1 How do I know if my old love (sex doll) is recyclable?
Check the information on the packaging or contact us to find out if your sex doll is recyclable. Some manufacturers state how to recycle it correctly directly on the product or packaging. If not, look for a professional recycling service that accepts sex toys.
