Maintaining a sex doll in the UK is essential for ensuring its longevity, hygiene, and continued enjoyment. Regular cleaning is paramount; after each use, wash the doll with warm water and mild, non-abrasive soap or a specialized toy cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials. Pay special attention to joints, orifices, and textured areas, ensuring all residue is removed.
Dry the doll thoroughly using a soft cloth or towel, and allow it to air dry completely before storage. Applying talcum powder or cornstarch after cleaning helps to keep the skin feeling soft and prevents stickiness, especially on silicone or TPE dolls. Store the doll in a cool, dry place, ideally in a neutral position to prevent deformities or stress on joints.
Periodic maintenance includes checking for any tears, cracks, or damage, and addressing issues promptly. If the doll has movable parts, ensure they operate smoothly and lubricate joints if necessary with suitable lubricants. Keep the doll away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can degrade materials over time.
Lastly, consider using protective covers or storage bags for added privacy and to protect the doll from dust and damage. Proper maintenance not only prolongs the lifespan of the doll but also ensures a safe and hygienic experience for the user.
