Maintenance and care

How do you keep your doll and masturbator clean?

Keeping your favourite toy in top condition starts with good hygiene and careful cleaning. After every use, it's essential to clean your toy thoroughly. Why? It prevents mould, unpleasant smells and keeps the material in good quality in the long run.

We fully understand how much your doll means to you, so we've put together a simple step-by-step plan to help you look after it properly.

It's important to know that our products are made of high-quality TPE. This material needs dry, clean storage. Neglect it and over time you can get small cracks, dryness and even crumbling with later use. And the leftovers after use? Those can become a breeding ground for bacteria and mould. Don't worry, we've got you covered! Read on to find out how to keep your doll in perfect condition and keep enjoying intimate moments.

Preparation and supplies: get the right kit

Before we get into the details, let's look at what you need to keep your doll in the best condition. Here is a list of supplies to have within reach:

Enema bulb, vaginal douche or water bottle: These tools make a thorough clean easier.
Lukewarm water: Remember, water that's too hot can damage the TPE, so choose lukewarm water.
Mild hand soap without perfume and alcohol, or Dailyplay Toy Cleaner: Choose a gentle hand soap or the special toy cleaner supplied to clean your doll.
Towel: To dry your doll after cleaning.
Talcum powder/baby powder (optional): Use this to remove moisture after use and make the surface less sticky, while keeping the material soft and flexible.
Cotton and drying sticks (optional): These handy sticks make drying your doll a lot easier and quicker.

We know cleaning isn't the most exciting job, but if you want to enjoy your doll time after time, it's worth spending a little time on proper care. Now that we have the supplies ready, let's look at how to use them to keep your doll in top shape.

Step-by-step plan for cleaning your TPE sex doll thoroughly:

Step 1: start with clean hands and proper support

Before you start, wash your hands well. This should be routine, not only after use but also before you clean your doll. For the cleaning itself, the shower is the handiest place, but a roomy sink works fine too. Remember: always make sure your doll is well supported and lies on its back while cleaning and storing. If you only hold it by the legs under the shower, for example, the weight combined with gravity can damage the material. So always lay it on a large surface for maximum support and a longer life for the material.

Step 2: thorough rinsing with a vaginal douche

Take the vaginal douche or water bottle and fill it with lukewarm water. Then rinse all the cavities of the doll thoroughly, about 5-10 times. Do this over a sink so the water can drain away easily. Stop rinsing as soon as the water comes out clear. That means no residue is left behind.

Step 3: gentle cleaning with mild hand soap or Toy Cleaner

Take mild hand soap or the toy cleaner and apply it to your hands. Apply it carefully to the inside of the doll by gently working your hands and fingers in. If you like, you can wrap a damp cloth around a stick to clean the deeper parts of the doll. Feel free to pay extra attention to cleaning the cavities. The materials are flexible and stretch easily. Always clean the doll with your hands and avoid sponges, brushes or washcloths. Make sure the doll is well supported during this stage to prevent tears and extend the life of the material.

Important: On delivery, the doll or the packaging may contain a greasy substance. This is normal and helps keep the material supple during storage and transport. Be careful where you place the doll, to avoid any stains.

Step 4: rinse off the soap thoroughly

If you used soap, it's time to rinse it away. Fill the vaginal douche or water bottle with water again and rinse the cavities through thoroughly another 5-10 times. This makes sure no soap residue is left behind.

Step 5: careful drying for your doll

You can dry your doll in several ways:

Use a cotton drying stick to dry the inside gently.
Wrap a stick in a dry cloth and use it to dry the cavities thoroughly.
If you only have a towel, wrap a dry cloth around your fingers and dab gently in the doll's cavities to make sure every opening is dry.

It's very important to handle the doll gently while drying. Dab the moisture away instead of rubbing. If you place the doll with the cavities facing down, any moisture left inside can run out. Ideally, leave the doll for a few hours in a dry place with the cavities facing down.

Make sure your doll isn't handled roughly while it dries. The surface will dry by itself if you put it in a warmer room. If you like, you can even leave a towel in the cavities for an hour to make sure all the moisture is absorbed.

Step 6: aftercare and storage tips

Caring for the doll after cleaning:

Is your doll completely dry? Then you can apply a small amount of Zwitsal baby powder to both the surface and the cavities. This powder helps absorb moisture and keeps the material in good quality, even during storage. It also keeps your doll nice and soft.

Storage tips for long-lasting performance:

If you won't be using your doll for a longer period, lay it flat on its back. That puts no unnecessary pressure on the doll's internal skeleton and doesn't stretch the skin unnecessarily.

Store your doll in the storage bag supplied. Do make sure some fresh air can always get in. If you pack it too tightly, this could lead to unwanted smells.

Ready for the next session? Simply apply a little of the water-based lube supplied and you can get straight to it with your clean toy. That keeps your doll in top shape and ready for action.

Important points to remember:

Warning: micro-organisms thrive in damp conditions

It's crucial to know that a damp environment can be a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses and mould in your sex toys. As well as cleaning regularly, drying thoroughly is just as essential. Most micro-organisms thrive in a damp environment.

Avoid overheating while drying

Make sure you don't dry your sex toys with air that is too hot. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause warping, brittleness and crumbling of the material. So be careful and choose a gentle drying method.

Common mistakes:

Treat your doll with care if you want to enjoy it for a long time. Avoid excessive pulling and pushing force on the skin to prevent tears. Support it in several places and look after it well; it will reward you with long-lasting pleasure.
Avoid putting coloured clothing on the doll or long contact with coloured cotton, as the colour can transfer and cause stains.
After cleaning, a thorough and long drying period for the doll is essential. Then use talcum powder or baby powder to prevent stickiness. That way dust doesn't stick to the doll and the material keeps its realistic feel.
