Frequently Asked Questions

Size & handling

B01How heavy is a sex doll?

The weight of a sex doll depends on its height, body proportions, materials, and internal structure. Full-size dolls can be surprisingly heavy, so it's important to check the actual net weight before ordering. Consider whether you can comfortably lift, reposition, clean, and store the doll on your own. A lighter model may be more practical for first-time buyers.

B02Can one person move a full-size sex doll?

It depends on the doll's weight, your physical ability, and the available space. Moving a full-size doll can be more difficult than lifting an object of the same weight because its weight is distributed unevenly. For heavier models, consider using a suitable lifting aid or asking another person for assistance. Always support the body properly and avoid pulling on the limbs or joints.

B03What size sex doll is best for beginners?

The best size depends on your preferences, available storage space, and ability to handle the doll safely. Smaller or lighter dolls may be easier to move, clean, and store, while larger models may offer different proportions and styling options. Compare height, net weight, shoulder width, and overall dimensions before making your decision.

Materials & construction

B04What is the difference between silicone and TPE sex dolls?

Silicone and TPE are two common materials used in realistic dolls. Their feel, flexibility, surface properties, cleaning requirements, and durability can vary depending on the specific formulation and manufacturing process. Neither material is automatically the best choice for everyone. Before buying, compare the actual material specifications, care instructions, and warranty coverage rather than relying on material names alone.

B05Are silicone sex dolls prone to tearing?

Silicone dolls can experience tears if the material is overstretched, subjected to excessive force, or handled improperly. Durability depends on the silicone formulation, wall thickness, structural design, and manufacturing quality. Avoid forcing joints beyond their intended range of motion, and follow the manufacturer's care instructions. If damage occurs, contact the seller before attempting a repair.

B06Does softer silicone mean better quality?

Not necessarily. Softness affects how a doll feels, but it is not the only measure of quality. A good design should balance softness, flexibility, structural support, and durability. Different body areas may also require different material properties. Ask about the specific material and construction rather than assuming the softest option is always the best.

B07Can silicone and TPE be used together in one doll?

Some dolls use multiple materials in different components. However, material compatibility depends on the specific formulations, contact conditions, and construction methods. Before buying a hybrid model, confirm which parts use each material and follow the manufacturer's guidance on cleaning, storage, and long-term contact between components.

General cleaning

C01How do I clean my sex doll properly?

If your model’s care instructions permit surface cleaning with water, use a soft cloth or sponge with lukewarm water and a mild, material-compatible cleanser. Gently wipe the surface without scrubbing or applying excessive pressure. Remove any cleanser residue and dry the doll thoroughly with a soft, lint-free towel. Avoid hot water, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaning tools, and prolonged moisture exposure. Always follow the care instructions for your doll's specific material and construction.

Some sex dolls can be cleaned using a handheld shower with cool or lukewarm water, but this depends on their construction and water-resistance specifications. If your doll is approved for shower cleaning, avoid directing water toward the neck connection, openings, or any electronic components unless the manufacturer explicitly confirms they are water-resistant. Never immerse the doll in water unless the manufacturer specifically permits it.

Surface care

C08Should I apply powder to my sex doll after cleaning?

Some doll materials and surface finishes benefit from occasional application of a manufacturer-approved maintenance powder to help maintain a dry, comfortable surface feel. However, not all silicone or TPE dolls require powder. Always check the specific care instructions and apply only the recommended product and amount after the doll is completely dry.

C09Why does my sex doll feel sticky?

A sticky surface may be related to the material formulation, surface residue, environmental conditions, or changes in the material over time. Gently clean the affected area using an approved method and allow it to dry. If the surface remains unusually sticky, contact the seller before applying powders, oils, or other treatments.

C10What type of lubricant should I use with my sex doll?

Use a lubricant that is explicitly compatible with your doll's material. Water-based lubricants are commonly considered, but compatibility can vary depending on the formulation and surface finish. Avoid assuming that every water-based or specialty lubricant is suitable for every doll. Check the manufacturer's recommendations and clean away lubricant residue after use.

Clothing & storage

C12Can dark clothing stain my sex doll?

Yes. Certain fabrics, especially dark or heavily dyed materials, may transfer color to silicone or TPE surfaces during prolonged contact. To reduce the risk, choose colorfast, light-colored clothing and avoid leaving untested fabrics in contact with the doll for extended periods. Ask the manufacturer how to check fabric compatibility before contact. Light-colored fabric is not a guarantee against staining; do not test unknown dyes directly on the doll unless its care instructions permit it.

C13Should my sex doll wear protective clothing during storage?

Soft, clean, colorfast protective clothing may help reduce dust and friction during storage. Some owners use lightweight body coverings or stockings, but fabric compatibility and fit should be checked first. Avoid tight garments that create prolonged pressure or leave marks on the doll's surface.

Body & joint protection

C16How can I protect my sex doll's fingers?

Doll fingers may contain delicate internal wires or small structural components. Avoid excessive bending, twisting, or pulling. Soft, colorfast gloves may provide additional protection against friction and accidental snagging. Always handle the fingers gently when dressing, moving, or repositioning the doll.

C18How should I care for a doll with large breasts?

Dolls with larger breasts may require additional attention during dressing, repositioning, and storage. Avoid pulling or placing excessive pressure on the breast area. Depending on the construction, compatible supportive clothing may help reduce unnecessary movement or strain. Follow the manufacturer's specific guidance for breast materials and internal structure.

Wig & hair care

C20How do I clean and maintain my sex doll's wig?

Remove the wig before cleaning whenever possible. Use a cleaning product suitable for the wig's fiber type, and follow the wig manufacturer's washing instructions.

C21How can I prevent my doll's wig from tangling?

Brush the wig gently using a wide-tooth comb or a brush suitable for its fiber type. Start at the ends and gradually work toward the roots. If the hair becomes tangled, use an appropriate wig detangling product rather than pulling forcefully. Loose braids or a relaxed ponytail may help reduce tangling during storage.

C22Can I use a hair dryer or styling tools on my doll's wig?

It depends on the wig material. Many synthetic wigs are sensitive to heat, while some heat-resistant fibers and human-hair wigs may tolerate specific styling temperatures. Always check the wig manufacturer's instructions before using a hair dryer, curling iron, or straightener. When in doubt, avoid heat styling.
