Things You Should and Shouldn’t Do After Using a Sex Doll
If you are like most men, you use sex dolls to achieve the sexual satisfaction that you are not getting from human partners. However, you should never forget about the post-use care and long-term maintenance needed to keep your doll strong for a long time. It doesn’t matter if it is a life-sized, half body, or mini sex doll. Proper care and maintenance are essential if you want to enjoy many good years with your doll.

How to Clean Your Sex Doll
You should always clean your doll after each time you use it. Sex doll cleaning prevents the accumulation of foul odor and harmful bacteria that can gradually damage the doll over time. It doesn’t take much effort to clean the doll. If you can get into the habit of doing so after each use, you will get the most life possible out of your doll.
1) Rinse the Surface
The first thing that you should do is rinse the surface of the sex doll with warm water and antibacterial soap. Make sure the water temperature is no higher than 122°F, just warm warm enough to dilute the soap and thoroughly cleanse the surface.
2) Flush the Interior
The next step is to flush the interior vaginal, anal, or oral tunnel area. Add some shower gel to the washer and run warm water through it to thoroughly rinse out the tunnel. Repeat these actions about 3 to 5 times to ensure all the bacterial elements are washed out.
3) Dry the Surface with a Towel
Use a soft microfiber towel to gently pat dry the surface of the doll until there is no more visible water present.
4) Dry the Interior with a Drying Rod
You cannot dry the interior the same way you would dry the surface due to the accessibility limitations. For this reason, you need to insert a drying rod or stick into the interior tunnel to dry out the moisture from within.
Drying rods are made from a natural element called diatomaceous earth, which has a natural ability to absorb water. Keep the rod inside the tunnel for at least 30 minutes. You can gently press around the buttocks and abdominal areas of the tunnel to speed up the drying process. Remove the rod and check the tunnel with your finger to verify it is dry.
5) Insert a UV Germicidal Heating Rod (Optional)
Some men may want extra protection and safety. In that case, you can place a UV germicidal heating rod into the area that you just dried. This particular heating rod is good at preventing potential bacterial growth by absorbing any small water droplets that might remain inside the doll.
6) Ventilate the Doll
Position the doll in front of a small fan or other ventilated area to dry the surface one more time. Some of the air may also enter the interior if the opening is exposed enough to the fan.
7) Clean Yourself
While you leave the sex doll to ventilate, take the time to clean yourself. That could mean showering or bathing to remove any semen or lubricant that might be on your penis or the pelvic area. Put your dirty clothes in the washer to clean them. Change into some new clothing.
8) Add Renewal Powder
Used sex dolls can develop stickiness on their soft skin over time. To reduce the stickiness, it is recommended that you apply some renewal powder to the surface after you finish cleaning and drying the doll. A renewal powder made of cornstarch is the most common type of powder to use.
Storing Your Sex Doll
Make sure your sex doll is completely clean and dry before storing it. Below are the common steps involved in the sex doll storage process:
1) Add Light-Colored Clothing
Some men love to dress up their dolls and cosplay. It is okay to use different-colored clothing for entertainment purposes if you’re having fun. However, it is not okay to use any color for storage purposes.
For example, dark-colored clothing should not be left on the doll for long periods in storage, as it may cause staining. That is why it is recommended to remove dark outfits immediately after use. Then you should dress up the doll in lighter colored clothes before putting it into storage.
2) Store the Doll
Now comes the most critical part. You must find a good storage space for your sex doll to prevent the skin material from diminishing. Some helpful tips you might want to consider include:
· Place the doll back in its original packaging for added protection
· Keep in a cool, dry, shaded area away from sunlight and UV light
· Choose a discreet location to avoid attracting unwanted attention from your guests
· Don’t put the doll in any storage bag or device made of silicone or PVC material
Men tend to get creative with their sex doll storage. Some of them will put the doll in a storage box and hide it under the bed. Others will hook the doll up onto a body stand for added structural support. If you choose a box or bag for storage purposes, make sure you keep the limbs straight and the body flat in a lying position.
The best storage location really depends on who is living with you. If you live alone, you can store the doll anywhere, as long as you make sure it won't be found by friends or family who suddenly visit, such as under the bed or in a closet.
Tantaly 2nd Generation Privacy Package (included with all Tantaly sex dolls) is designed to protect your doll, especially models featuring technologies such as Tantabosom and Tantabutt. The package includes a Styrofoam box with strict air-tightness and other attributes that make it airproof and dustproof. The box also has room to hold your sex doll accessories as well.
3) Perform Regular Maintenance
Whether you use the sex doll all the time or infrequently, you must perform regular maintenance on it to prevent the skin material from drying out or cracking over time. Even if you rarely use the doll, it still requires maintenance to sustain its longevity. Otherwise, the skin material may start to dry out and become inflexible.
Here are some helpful ways to sustain your sex doll’s lifespan and flexibility:
· Adjust the doll’s position to prevent pressure marks from forming on the body. If you own a Tantaly doll, simply store it in a Tantaly privacy packaging.
· Add some oil and renewal powder to the doll every couple of weeks.
If moving the doll around is too difficult for you, then you should go with a lightweight sex doll option. The Tantaly Selena 8LB Mini doll is an affordable and extremely lightweight option for beginners or those with limited strength.
Owning a sex doll is exciting and fun, but it is also a big responsibility. After all, sex dolls are comprehensive devices with internal and external layers. You must treat your doll well by cleaning every inch from inside and outside to ensure the material stays strong and healthy.
