What types of lubricant are suitable for sex dolls?

The types of lubricants that are suitable for a sex doll are water-based lubricants, silicone-based lubricants, and oil-based lubricants. Each type of lubricant has specific properties that make it more suitable for different materials, such as TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and silicone. Below, we will discuss the pros and cons of each type of lubricant and which material they are best suited for.

Silicone-based lubricant is an alternative for TPE dolls, but should be avoided on silicone dolls to prevent damage. Oil-based lubricant is less suitable for sex dolls, as it damages the material and is difficult to remove.

Why is good lubricant important?

Good lubricant is important because it not only increases comfort, but also protects the lifespan of your sex doll. Using the wrong lubricant will damage the materials of your doll, such as silicone or TPE. This leads to accelerated wear and tear and makes the doll vulnerable to cracks or deformation. Using an unsuitable lubricant will shorten the lifespan of your sex doll by 1 to 2 years. In addition, the right lubricant ensures a more realistic experience, because it glides smoothly and imitates the feeling of skin on skin.

This will significantly increase the pleasure of using your sex doll. Monica Moments offers a specially developed lubricant, the Doll & toy lube is for safe and long-term use with sex dolls. This lubricant is suitable for both silicone and TPE dolls, so you are always assured of a soft and safe experience.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a lubricant?

When choosing a lubricant, consider compatibility, longevity, ease of cleaning, ingredients and pH:

1. Compatibility: Always use water-based lubricant for TPE and silicone dolls, as oil- and silicone-based lubricants can damage the material. Always check the product information to avoid damage to the doll.
2. Long-lasting effect: Choose a thicker water-based formula that won't dry out quickly and won't need to be reapplied as often. Avoid thin or alcohol-based lubricants that evaporate quickly.
3. Ease of cleaning : Go for a water-soluble lubricant that washes off easily without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. This prevents dirt and bacteria build-up.
4. Safe Ingredients: Avoid lubricants with perfumes, glycerin, or harsh chemicals, as these can irritate the skin and degrade the doll's material. Choose a hypoallergenic, unscented option.
   pH: Choose a neutral pH lubricant (between 4 and 5) to maintain the doll's texture and prevent skin irritation.
   
   

By taking these factors into consideration, you can ensure that your lubricant not only feels comfortable, but also guarantees safe and long-term use without damaging your sex doll.

How to use lubricant correctly in 4 steps

You use lubricant on a sex doll by applying 10ml of lubricant to the desired places where friction occurs, such as the intimate areas. This ensures a smoother experience and prevents damage to the material of the doll.

Step-by-step plan :

1. Clean the surface. Make sure the sex doll is clean and dry before applying lubricant. Use a mild detergent to remove dirt and dust so that the lubricant adheres better and is evenly distributed.
   
2. Apply a small amount of lubricant. Use about a teaspoon (5 ml) per area and squeeze the bottle gently to avoid applying too much. Too much can leave a sticky residue and is harder to clean.
   
   
3. Distribute the lubricant evenly. Spread the lubricant over the desired areas with your hands or a clean cloth. This will ensure a smooth experience and prevent uneven distribution that can stress the material.
   
   
4. Clean the sex doll after use. Carefully wash off all lubricant residue with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents such as alcohol, which can damage the material. Let the doll dry completely before storing it to prevent mold.

 

By following these steps, your sex doll will stay in good condition and you will optimally enjoy the use of oil, silicone or water-based lubricant.
