How long does a real doll last?
Because a real doll is quite an investment, customers naturally look forward to many years of pleasure. But how long will your silicone doll or TPE sex doll retain her full beauty as your favorite plaything, and what are the tips and tricks to increasing her lifespan?
The lifespan of a real doll
Naturally, we can't tell you the exact lifespan of a real doll, because there are many factors that affect her condition. You might liken the care of your real doll to driving a sports car: if you handle it with care and schedule regular maintenance, you’ll be guaranteed decades of fun with your sweet ride. The same applies to a real doll made of TPE or silicone - if you neglect to be careful and attentive to her needs, you’ll only be able to enjoy the doll for a few years.
Her lifespan is affected by the following factors, which you have to take into consideration:
- Material
- Love openings
- Steel skeleton
- Storage
Below you’ll find out more about the individual features and what precautions you need to take to increase your real doll’s lifespan.
Material Care - Increasing a sex doll’s lifespan
The sex dolls you see here are either made of TPE, silicone, or a combination of the two (TPE body, head made of silicone). As a rule, these materials are very robust and should be able to withstand even the wildest nights of love making.
For example, you can even bathe with a TPE doll or a silicone doll. Warm water is not an issue for these high-quality sex dolls, provided the temperature does not go over the melting point of 100° Celsius. However, she still requires meticulous care if you would like her to keep feeling soft as long as possible.
This means that, most importantly, you will have to clean your sex doll regularly, particularly after use. A blend of warm water and mild soap, such as baby shampoo or dish detergent, is ideal.
You then have to let the doll’s skin dry thoroughly and dust her off with baby powder. This ensures that the TPE and silicone skin remains supple. We recommend doing this after each full-body cleansing of your sex doll. To protect against brittleness, also apply baby oil to your darling (2 to 3 times per month).
Absolute no-nos with TPE dolls and silicone dolls
Naturally, caring for your TPE doll will increase her lifespan, but this will not be of much use if you ignore the following no-nos:
- Extreme heat = Warm temperatures are fine, but heat or an open flame (such as candles) are an absolute no-no! TPE and silicone are meltable plastics, and heat exposure leaves behind disfiguring burn marks. Even prolonged sun exposure can result in ugly discoloration. Your sex doll should therefore not spend days on end tanning in the sun.
- Sharp objects = Your lover’s skin is not much different from that of a real woman; it is sensitive and requires gentle attention. For example, sharp objects can leave unsightly tears or holes, something that can happen quite easily, particularly with clothing that has sharp-edged closures. So always make sure that there are no sharp objects near your TPE doll.
- Staining = Naturally, you most certainly haven't planned to paint your sweetheart in different colors, but staining occurs more readily than you’d think. When caused by items of clothing or blankets, these unsightly stains are very difficult to remove. So, before you dress her in different clothes or place her on a blanket, be sure to wash the item thoroughly first, and better yet, keep dark fabrics from coming into contact with your real doll.
If you follow these guidelines, you will increase your TPE doll’s lifespan considerably. This blog post has a lot more cleaning and care tips:
The correct handling of the love openings
Naturally, sex with your love doll should be fun and you should live out all your fantasies with her. However, don’t forget that after years of stormy sex, her love openings will be affected. If you follow these guidelines, you will increase her lifespan appreciably.
Use a lubricant: A lubricant not only guarantees that you’ll have more fun, the additional protective barrier also prevents frictional damage to the love opening.
Avoid unnecessary tugging and stretching: The love doll’s narrow love openings ensure that your sex experience will be realistic. TPE or silicon cannot wear out, per se, but the corners of the mouth and the anus can tear. That is why total caution is recommended if you want your love doll to remain perfect for a long time.
Cleaning & Care: It cannot be emphasized enough that cleaning and caring for your love doll are absolutely essential. This applies particularly to the love openings. If you want to make sure you're doing everything right, read this blog post.
The sex doll's steel skeleton
The steel skeleton built into a high-quality sex doll allows you to place her into a variety of positions. The skeleton frame is very sturdy and can easily support your weight, which means it will last for decades. However, damage can still occur.
The limbs in particular should be handled gently, and rough movements should be avoided. You should therefore practice a bit with your lover before you actually get down to it. Check carefully which movements she can easily do and develop a sense of what the steel skeleton is capable of.
However, if the steel skeleton suddenly becomes damaged, you can count on our 2-year warrantee.
How best to store your TPE Sex Doll
Storage is another factor that can affect the lifespan of your TPE Sex Doll. For example, never leave her out in the sun for an extended period, as her supple skin will dry out. Nor do you want to store your TPE sex doll in a damp, dusty basement. It is much better to store her in a special storage box (painted a light color) or in your bed, on light-colored blanket.
