Learn how to clean, store, and maintain your sex doll to keep her safe, hygienic, and long-lasting. Expert tips on powdering, lubrication, repairs, and discreet storage.
Owning a sex doll is an investment in both intimacy and companionship. Whether you’ve chosen a premium silicone model or a soft TPE doll, proper care and maintenance are essential to extend her life, keep her looking beautiful, and ensure your experience remains safe and enjoyable.
In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about sex doll care — from cleaning and storage to long-term maintenance tips.
Why Proper Sex Doll Care Matters
Taking care of your doll isn’t just about hygiene; it’s about protecting your investment. A well-maintained doll can last for years, while neglect can lead to stains, tears, and unpleasant odors. Proper care ensures:
- Hygiene & Safety – Prevents bacteria growth and keeps intimate use safe.
- Durability – Maintains skin softness, body structure, and realistic feel.
- Discretion – Well-stored dolls are easier to hide and protect from damage.
- Resale Value – For collectors, a well-preserved doll may retain resale value.

Step 1: Cleaning Your Sex Doll
After Each Use
Cleaning your doll after every session is crucial. Bodily fluids and lubricants can damage the material if left untreated.
- Use Warm Water and Mild Soap
- Fill a basin or use a shower spray with lukewarm water.
- Use fragrance-free antibacterial soap or a doll-safe cleaner.
- Clean the Orifices
- Vagina, anus, and mouth areas should be rinsed thoroughly.
- Use a soft irrigator or douche bottle to flush warm water inside.
- Drying Properly
- Pat dry with a soft microfiber towel — never rub aggressively.
- Insert absorbent paper towels into orifices until completely dry.
- Optional: Use a doll drying stick for faster results.
⚠️ Never submerge the head or neck in water, as this can damage the skeleton and electronics (if your doll has heating/vibration features).
Step 2: Powdering the Skin
TPE and silicone skin can become slightly tacky after washing. Applying powder restores softness and prevents friction damage.
- Use renewal powder or pure cornstarch (avoid talcum powder).
- Apply a light, even coat with a large makeup brush.
- Focus on high-friction areas like inner thighs, armpits, and joints.

Step 3: Lubrication Tips
Using the right lubricant is essential for both pleasure and doll safety.
- TPE Dolls: Use water-based lubricants only. Oil-based or silicone lubes can break down the material.
- Silicone Dolls: Water-based is safest, though some high-quality silicone-based lubricants may be compatible.
⚠️ Always test a small area before applying new lubricants to the doll.
Step 4: Storage & Hiding Options
Proper storage keeps your doll discreet and safe from damage. Here are popular methods:
- Lockable Storage Trunk or Case – Best for privacy and long-term safety.
- Hanging Hook System – Keeps the doll upright and saves space.
- Under-Bed Storage – Use padded rolling containers with lids.
- Disguised as Furniture or Mannequin – Dress the doll and place her in a chair.

Step 5: Clothing & Stain Prevention
Many sex doll owners love dressing their dolls, but not all fabrics are safe.
- Avoid Dark or Low-Quality Fabrics – These can leave stains on TPE or silicone skin.
- Wash New Clothes First – Run them through the laundry several times before dressing your doll.
- Test First – Place fabric on an unseen area for a few hours to check for color transfer.
If a stain occurs, use a doll stain remover cream and leave it on for 24 hours.
Step 6: Repairs & Minor Fixes
Even with care, small damages may happen over time. Here’s how to handle them:
- Small Tears or Cuts: Use TPE or silicone repair glue (depending on your doll’s material).
- Loose Joints: These can sometimes be adjusted, but major repairs require professional help.
- Fingernails or Eyelashes Falling Off: Reattach with a tiny amount of doll-safe adhesive.
👉 For serious repairs, consider sending your doll to a professional repair service or contacting the manufacturer for support.
Step 7: Long-Term Maintenance
If you plan to store your doll for weeks or months without use:
- Clean and dry thoroughly before storage.
- Apply powder generously to prevent stickiness.
- Store in a neutral body position — arms slightly bent, legs not crossed.
- Keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
Step 8: Oral, Anal & Vaginal Care
Each orifice requires extra attention:
- Removable Inserts: Easier to clean; simply remove, wash, and dry separately.
- Built-in Orifices: Use irrigators and drying sticks to prevent bacteria buildup.
- Use Condoms (Optional): Many owners use condoms for faster cleanup and extra safety.
Step 9: Wig, Makeup & Aesthetic Care
Your doll’s realism isn’t just about the body — wigs, eyes, and makeup bring her to life.
- Wigs: Wash gently with wig shampoo, let air dry, and style with a wig brush.
- Makeup: Avoid liquid makeup directly on TPE or silicone. Instead, use powder-based cosmetics.
- Eyes: Can be removed and cleaned with a damp cloth.
Step 10: Hygiene & Personal Safety
Always prioritize your health:
- Use condoms if sharing the doll.
- Sanitize regularly, especially intimate areas.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners — they damage the skin.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the doll in direct sunlight.
- Using oil-based lubricants on TPE dolls.
- Storing her in extreme positions (arms above head, legs crossed tightly).
- Skipping cleaning after use — this can cause odors and bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sex Doll Care & Maintenance
1. How often should I clean my sex doll?
You should clean your doll after every use, especially the intimate areas, to maintain hygiene and prevent bacteria buildup. For dolls kept on display, a light cleaning and powdering once a month is usually enough.
2. What is the safest way to clean the inside of a sex doll?
The best method is to use a soft irrigator or douche bottle with warm water and mild antibacterial soap. After rinsing, make sure to dry the orifices completely using absorbent paper towels or a doll drying stick.
3. Can I use regular soap and shampoo on my doll?
Mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap is safe for the body. Shampoo and conditioner can be used for wigs, but avoid using them on TPE or silicone skin. Harsh chemicals and alcohol-based cleaners should never be used.
4. Do I need to powder my sex doll?
Yes. Powdering with renewal powder or pure cornstarch after cleaning helps maintain the soft, smooth feel of the skin and prevents stickiness or friction damage.
5. Which lubricants are safe to use with sex dolls?
For TPE dolls, only use water-based lubricants. For silicone dolls, water-based is safest, but some silicone-based lubricants may also work. Always test a small patch first before full use.
6. How should I store my sex doll when not in use?
Store your doll in a neutral position (arms slightly bent, legs apart) in a cool, dry place. Popular options include:
- A lockable storage trunk
- Under-bed rolling containers

7. Can clothing stain my sex doll’s skin?
Yes, dark or low-quality fabrics may leave stains on TPE or silicone. Always wash new clothes first and test them on a small hidden area before dressing your doll.

For stains, use a sex doll stain remover cream. For small cuts or tears, use TPE or silicone repair glue (depending on your doll’s material). For major damage, contact the manufacturer or a professional repair service.
9. Is it safe to leave my doll sitting or standing for long periods?
Not without proper support. Leaving a doll standing unsupported may damage the skeleton. If sitting, make sure the surface is soft, and avoid pressing the skin too tightly against hard objects.
10. How long can a sex doll last with proper care?
With proper cleaning, powdering, and storage, a high-quality sex doll can last 5–10 years or more. TPE dolls may require more maintenance than silicone dolls, but both can stay in excellent condition with consistent care.
