Tempted to unbox your new silicone companion and immediately get down to business? Think again. Many silicone sex dolls benefit from a good cleaning before use, and all sex dolls require regular cleaning to maintain hygiene and longevity.
Cleaning your silicone sex doll is an important habit to establish. Just as you wouldn’t use a new dish plate or drinking glass without cleaning it, the same principle applies to your new sex doll. They need a thorough clean before their maiden voyage and after each use.
While it’s unlikely that your new doll has ‘gone rogue’ before shipping, there is a reasonable chance she may not be in the most sparkling condition depending on where you sourced your doll. The golden rule with a new sex doll is to always give her a thorough, detailed clean before use, including all orifices.
Safety First
At Silicon Wives, we ensure that every sex doll is meticulously cleaned before shipping, but we can’t speak for all vendors. Some distribute directly from the factory where the cleaning process might be just a quick wipe down with a cloth.
Be diligent and clean with extreme prejudice before use. Soapy water with a little disinfectant and a clean cloth will do the job. Then, wipe down with a clean, damp cloth to remove any lingering soapy residue.
Before discussing the cleaning and hygiene procedure in detail, let’s address some general maintenance essentials.
How Often Should You Clean a Sex Doll?
To maintain cleanliness, keep your doll away from dusty, dirty areas of the home (such as the garage) and clean it monthly, whether you have used it or not.
Areas like the mouth, anus, and vagina need cleaning after each use without fail. You wouldn’t sleep with an actual person who hadn’t cleaned their intimate areas, and a sex doll is no different.
What to Avoid When Cleaning Your Sex Doll
- Do not use sharp objects, such as hard sponges or wire brushes, as they can damage the doll’s skin. Silicone is tough but only to a point.
- Avoid submerging the doll’s head or neck in water.
- Use gentle pressure when cleaning or drying to prevent skin tears. Be gentle to preserve the durability of silicone.
- Do not use a hairdryer after cleaning a sex doll. Heating the skin may cause coloration issues. Silicone is nonporous and dries easily without heat.
Recommended Cleaning Materials
- Antibacterial soap
- Disinfectant
- Warm water
- Talcum powder (baby powder)
- Light sponge
- Soft bristle brush
- Soft towel
- Non-abrasive drying cloth
How to Clean a Silicone Sex Doll: Detailed Cleaning
A thorough cleaning every month is suggested to prevent bacterial buildup, with more frequent cleaning based on use. Use a mixture of antibacterial soap and tepid water, gently massaging the skin with your hands or a light sponge.
Be cautious not to wet the neck and head too much to avoid rusting any metal components inside. If any metal parts get wet, dry them immediately if accessible.
Generally, you can bathe or shower your sex doll, but do not use abrasive soaps or general cleaning products.
Drying Your Sex Doll
Place the silicone sex doll on a soft towel and gently pat it dry with a clean, soft cotton cloth. Avoid using hard sponges or brushes. After drying, apply talcum powder to protect the skin and prevent friction damage. Make sure the doll is completely dry before applying powder.
Note: Do not use other substances like fragrance oils on the skin.
How to Clean a Sex Doll’s Vagina, Anus, and Mouth
Clean these areas after every use to prevent bacterial growth. Rinse the canals with mild antibacterial soapy water using a vaginal irrigator, then flush with clean water until all soap is removed. Dry thoroughly and dust with premium renewal powder inside and out.
Clean Your Sex Doll’s Face
Remove the head from the body (if possible) and remove the wig. Dip a sponge or cotton cloth in warm, soapy, antibacterial water and gently clean the face, avoiding the eyes and lashes. Pat the face dry with a non-abrasive cloth and let it air dry before reattaching it to the body.
Caring For Your Silicone Sex Doll
Proper care can ensure your doll lasts longer. Here’s how to best care for your sex doll:
- Store your doll in a cool, dark place to avoid skin and facial features fading.
- Avoid extreme temperatures that can deform the doll. Normal fluctuations are fine, but avoid freezing and extreme heat.
- Keep the doll in a sitting or lying position.
- Avoid tight clothing that may leave permanent marks.
- Do not wear dark-colored fabrics for long periods, as they can stain the doll’s skin.
- Place the doll on a soft surface or hang it to prevent indentations.
Most sex dolls come with a high-quality synthetic wig, which can be removed for styling, cleaning, or replacement. Use a metal brush or comb for long hair, starting with small sections near the tips and working gently to avoid knots.
Bottom Line
Our most important suggestion is to make a habit of these procedures. You might be surprised how easy it is to slip into poor habits when cleaning a silicone sex doll. Take great care of your doll, and she will take great care of you!
