A Complete Guide on Unboxing & Storing Your Sex Doll
In this guide, we’re going to go over everything from unboxing to storage! Keep reading to make sure you don’t damage your doll opening the package, and how to store them so they’re protected.
Unboxing and Assembly Instructions
- Prepare a large, clean space
The boxes of adult dolls are often very large, and they contain many items. When unboxing for the first time, make sure to do it in a large and clean space. Carefully move the box to a pre-prepared area and place it flat.
It's important to note that the package of adult dolls usually weighs around 80-100 lbs. Even a standalone doll weighs around 80 lbs. If you live in a high-rise building without an elevator or in an apartment with narrow elevators, contact the delivery company in advance; you might need the items to be delivered to your door.
- Record the unboxing process in its entirety
We strongly recommend that you prepare a camera before opening the packaging. Recording the unboxing process with a camera can further ensure the quality of after-sales service.
Carefully inspect the outer packaging of the doll to ensure that the box is undamaged. During transportation, the doll's box may deform or get damaged due to collisions or vibrations. Although each brand tries to protect the doll as best as possible with packaging, it is still susceptible to internal and external damage.
- Open the box along the seams
When using a knife to open the box, be careful not to cut too deeply to avoid damaging the doll. Different brands package dolls differently, but generally, the head and body are packaged separately. This is done to make packing easier and to protect the doll. After completing the above steps, your hands might get dirty, so remember to wash them before touching the new doll.
- Unpack the accessories and head
The types of accessories vary by brand, but common ones include clothing, gloves, a comb, a hanger, a wig, a heating rod, and others. All included parts are useful, so it's best to check them beforehand.
After checking, remove these items and the doll's head from the box and set them aside, leaving only the doll's body and the blanket placed on the doll inside the box.
- Take the doll and blanket out of the box together. Since the doll is quite heavy, it's recommended to follow these steps to remove it:
First, hold the doll and blanket with both arms. Unlike humans, love dolls won't automatically form a ‘V’ shape when you pick them up. First, support the doll and sit it down, then lift at the knee joint to bend the doll's legs, keeping the back slightly straight. Then, take the doll out of the box, supporting the back and legs with both arms. Applying pressure to the hips, thighs, and toes while standing will help maintain stability. You can also cradle the doll in your arms (make sure your clothes are clean). If you can't lift the doll, you can also lay the box on its side and gently remove it by hand onto the floor.
- Check the doll's condition
Carefully remove the foam and tape from the packaging, then check for dents, impact marks on the doll's body, whether the body matches your preferences, and any damage to eyelashes and nails, among other areas.
- Attach the doll's head and put on the wig
Regarding Intercourse with a Doll
The vagina of a doll is typically dry, and using lubricant not only makes the experience more comfortable but also prevents damage to the doll's vagina due to intense friction. The amount of lube used depends on what kind you use, but it should be water based. Simply ensure that the doll's vagina is completely coated with lubricant. Sometimes, to ease entry, you can apply a generous amount of lubricant around the entrance. Additionally, adjusting the amount of lube can provide different experiences. For example, using less can enhance stronger stimulation, while more is obviously more slippery.
It is recommended to use water-based lubricant. Avoid using oil-based and silicone-based lubricants as they may be harmful to the doll and could even damage the doll's skin. You can purchase a small bottle of water-based lubricant for testing, try out different brands, and find the one that suits you best.
Using a heating rod enhances the experience as dolls lack body temperature. Of course, you can also use warming lubricants. Without a heating rod, the interior of the doll can warm up due to friction. However, if you choose to use a heating rod, make sure to apply lubricant first. Direct heating may damage the doll's skin. Heating for around ten minutes is ideal. A good heating rod will automatically shut off and not cause any damage to the doll.
Whether to use a condom is entirely up to you. Regardless of condom use, it's essential to properly clean the doll after each use. Even with a condom, skin oils and debris can get stuck to the doll.
Some dolls have oral sex capabilities. Before engaging in oral sex, ensure that your doll supports this function; otherwise, the skin around the doll's mouth may tear. Generally, if the doll has an open/close mouth feature, you don't have to worry about the risk of tearing the mouth.
Furthermore, some dolls have a suitable anal position for insertion, but if you are using a doll for the first time, it is not recommended to engage in anal intercourse. Although the anus is elastic, it is typically designed to be narrow. Be extra cautious the first time you use the anal area, use plenty of lube, and start slow.
Regarding Cleaning
After using a doll, cleaning the doll is an essential step because improper cleaning can affect the doll's lifespan. Dolls are prone to bacterial growth in damp environments, increasing the likelihood of internal damage. Considering the durability of the doll and your own health, it is crucial to thoroughly clean the doll after use.
Many people wash the doll's vagina by rinsing with water while inserting their hand for cleaning. However, this method is risky and can easily lead to tearing. The correct method is to purchase a vaginal irrigation device. Pour warm water into the irrigation device and apply pressure until water overflows from the inside, as high pressure helps remove dirt from the vagina.
If you don't have a dedicated douche, you can also detach the showerhead for direct cleaning. Keep in mind that the combination of lubricant and bodily fluids, water alone isn’t enough to clean everything up. Therefore, we recommend using mild cleansers, sulfate-free soaps, or similar cleaning agents to help clean the doll.
During cleaning, pour foamy cleanser into the vagina, fill it, repeat the process, and then rinse with warm water. Finally, use your fingers to check the interior of the hole for a slippery liquid; if absent, the cleaning is complete.
It's not necessary to clean the doll's body after each use, but weekly cleaning is a good idea. Take the doll to the bathroom, wet the doll's body with warm water, whether standing or lying down. Apply mild cleanser to your hands and gently remove dirt from top to bottom. Rinse off the foam with warm water, then gently pat dry with a white cotton towel.
Never use hot water as TPE and silicone can easily stain with increased temperatures. Since TPE and silicone are composed of active ingredients, using hot water may damage the doll's skin or cause deformities.
It is best to detach the head for separate cleaning. If you choose not to remove the head, ensure that water does not enter the seams between the head and body to prevent rusting or damage. Do not place dolls with voice or electric functions in the bathtub as water entering the USB port may cause rusting internally.
Regarding cleaning the doll's head, only clean it when necessary. Frequent cleaning of the doll's head can remove the doll's makeup. If cleaning is necessary, follow these steps:
Remove the head from the doll's body. Do not use alcohol or cleansers as they can dissolve the makeup on the doll's face. Dip a soft, clean, warm sponge in mild soap and gently wipe the doll's face. Finally, gently wipe off the soap with a soft white cotton towel and let it air dry for an hour. Do not immerse the doll's head entirely in water!
As mentioned earlier, a damp environment significantly reduces the lifespan of adult dolls. Therefore, thorough drying after cleaning is crucial.
When cleaning the body, carefully pat the body with a clean, dry towel to remove any remaining moisture, and check and dry the interface between the head and body and any exposed screws.
Vagina: Some people worry that the doll's vaginal interior is damp and dirty, so they choose to stuff it with paper and let it dry completely. However, this method is incorrect. Due to the uneven inner walls of the vagina, damp paper scraps are likely to remain inside, leading to mold and damage to the vaginal walls over time. It is best to let the doll air dry naturally, use a tampon, or aquarium pumps can be used to pull out excess moisture.
About Storage
Generally, we recommend laying the doll flat. By maintaining the natural extension of all joints, the weight of the doll can be evenly distributed at the connections, thereby extending the doll's lifespan.
Standing the doll upright is also a good option. The doll's center of gravity is in the lower body, similar to that of a person, so storing the doll standing upright will not harm it. Of course, this only applies to dolls with a standing function (aka bolts in the feet) – dolls without this cannot stand independently, and their feet will deform from the weight.
When storing the doll, it is advisable not to dress the doll to avoid staining. Leaving them naked or in a full-body stocking are the best ways to store them.
Leaving the doll on memory foam mattresses for extended periods may flatten the doll's buttocks. While you can store them this way, make sure to re-adjust their position at least daily. Similar to how humans can get bed sores, dolls can be damaged from staying in any position outside of the factory-set neutral for extended durations.
If the doll is stored upright, it may become dirty. Silicone materials tend to generate static electricity and attract dust from the air. An effective solution to this issue is to apply talcum powder to the doll.
Avoid storing the doll in direct sunlight, as it may cause damage or discoloration.
Store the doll in a room-temperature and dry environment, avoiding bathrooms, garages, or damp and dark areas.
Avoid leaving the doll on any dark fabrics, such as a dark couch or bedding, as this can cause staining.
