Your sex doll accompanies you every day. She feels your touch and hug, and bears your desire. After being used for a period of time, your adorable sex doll will also be covered with dust. At this time, cleaning becomes essential. Many people still don’t know how to clean the sex doll. So, this blog will introduce how to clean your sex doll based on two different materials, TPE and silicone sex doll.
Why Cleaning Your Sex Doll is Essential？
A misconception: cleaning your life size sex doll is a hassle and has little effect, so simply rinsing and wiping your favorite sex doll after sex is enough. In fact, such irresponsible behavior will seriously damage the doll itself and endanger the user.
For Your Health：
Like other items you often use in your life, sex dolls are prone to breeding bacteria and mold after long-term use. As your companion, real dolls often come into close contact with your skin. For your health and safety, you should clean the doll regularly and carefully clean the used holes after sex.
For Longevity：
The average lifespan of TPE sex dolls is 3-5 years, while silicone sex dolls are 5-10 years. You’ve already spent a lot of money to bring your beloved doll home, so you will definitely want her to accompany you for more days. Therefore, proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial. If you take good care of your doll, her lifespan can be increased by 2-3 years.
For Perfect Feel：
If you want your sex doll to keep a good feel, you must do a good job of daily cleaning and maintenance. If you use it frequently without cleaning it, or leave it for a long time without protection, your doll will easily get stubborn stains or permanent damage, which will greatly affect your intimate experience.
TPE Sex Doll Care: Cleaning Guide
Low price and soft touch have made TPE products a popular choice for many sex doll enthusiasts. However, its characteristics make the dolls more susceptible to dust and mold. Next, I will briefly introduce TPE material and give specific cleaning guidelines.
TPE Basics
TPE material has a porous structure, which makes it easier to hide dirt. When cleaning, water is more likely to remain on its surface, which also greatly increases the probability of mold formation. In addition, TPE material is naturally oily and is prone to oil leakage after long-term use. Daily maintenance also requires timely oiling and special powder to keep it dry. Not only that, TPE material has poor heat resistance, and it should be stored away from light and high temperature and hot water should not be used when cleaning.

Silicone is harder and more expensive than TPE, but it can produce more realistic sex dolls. Usually, these dolls have a longer service life, and are easier to clean.
