Step 1: Prepare for use
Proper cleaning prevents wear and keeps the sex doll hygienic. Use the tips below:
- Lukewarm water: Rinse the doll with water that is not too hot to prevent damage and effectively remove dirt and residue.
- Mild soap: Use skin-friendly soap without harsh chemicals. Avoid cleaning products such as dish soap, which can damage the material.
- Soft cloth or microfiber cloth: Gently clean the doll and openings with a cloth that will not leave scratches. Avoid abrasive materials such as scouring pads.
- Avoid harsh cleaning products: Do not use products containing alcohol, solvents, or strong chemicals, as these can weaken the material. Alcohol dries out the TPE material.1)

Step 2: Dry the sex doll completely
Dry the sex doll thoroughly after cleaning. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove the moisture. This prevents fibers or lint from being left on the doll's skin, which can disrupt the experience. Make sure the cloth is large enough to dry the entire surface of the doll.
Start with the dampest areas and systematically work your way over the rest of the body. Pat gently and avoid vigorous rubbing to prevent damaging the material. It is important to thoroughly dry all body parts with drying sticks, including the inside of the doll, if possible. This not only helps prevent mold and odors but also extends the lifespan of your sex doll by 1-2 years.

Step 3: Choose a safe and comfortable location
Place your doll on a suitable surface for the best experience. Choose a soft, lint-free surface such as a satin sheet or pillow. This is included with your order as standard. This prevents damage to the doll and ensures that the materials remain in good condition. Avoid hard surfaces, as they increase the risk of damage.

Step 4: Apply water-based lubricant
When using a sex doll, always apply lubricant for a smooth and comfortable experience. Apply 10 ml to the doll's sensitive areas and spread it evenly. This ensures that the doll moves smoothly during use and prevents the materials from being damaged by friction.
Always use water-based lubricant, as this is the safest and most suitable type for sex dolls. Oil- or silicone-based lubricants are harmful to the doll's materials, causing them to wear out more quickly or even break. Water-based lubricant is also easy to clean, which simplifies maintenance.
Use Monica Moments lubricant, specially developed for dolls and toys. Our Doll & toy lube provides lubrication and is safe for your doll.
By making the right choice, you can extend its lifespan by 1-2 years and increase your comfort during use.

Step 5: Place the sex doll in the desired position
Hold the sex doll correctly to ensure both the doll's and your safety. Follow these steps to place the doll in the desired position without damaging the joints or the doll's material.
- Hold the doll firmly in the right places
Lift the sex doll with both hands and hold her firmly by the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips, waist, back, or abdomen. Avoid lifting the doll solely by the joints, such as the wrists, shoulders, or ankles, as this puts extra pressure on the joints and can cause damage.
- Lift the doll slowly and in a controlled manner
Always lift the doll slowly, upright, and in a controlled manner. Avoid dragging, pulling, or sudden movements that could strain the joints or damage the doll.
- Place the doll in the desired position
Place the sex doll in the desired position and avoid putting her in extreme positions to prevent strain on the joints. Dolls have a flexible wire structure in their hands and feet, but these can break if twisted too far.
- Pay attention to the joint limitations
Sex dolls are designed to be placed in various positions, but each doll has joint limitations. Always check the doll's manual for guidance on the joints' range of motion.
- Prevent overloading the joints
Regularly adjusting the position helps prevent damage to the joints. If you notice that the doll has difficulty remaining upright, it is important to reconsider how you use it and avoid putting too much strain on the joints.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your sex doll is positioned safely and sustainably, extending the doll's lifespan by 1-2 years.

Step 6: Use the sex doll as desired
When using a sex doll, it is important to ensure comfort and safety. Here are some guidelines for using the sex doll safely and comfortably.
Provide a comfortable environment
Make sure you have a suitable and comfortable space where you use the doll. A sturdy surface, such as a bed or mattress, is ideal. This provides stability and prevents damage to the doll or discomfort for you during use. Always be careful with the sex doll. Treat the doll with care and respect to protect both the doll and yourself. Avoid excessive force, as this can damage the doll.
Use water-based lubricant because it is the best choice for most sex dolls. Lubricant reduces friction, increases comfort, and prevents damage to the doll. Apply 10 ml to the intimate areas, such as the vagina and anus, for a smoother experience.

Step 7: Cleaning after use
After using your sex doll, clean it thoroughly for both hygiene and long-term preservation. Here is a step-by-step guide to cleaning your doll properly:
- First remove any accessories
If you have used accessories, such as a vagina or anal insert, remove them from the doll first.
- Rinse with lukewarm water
Begin by rinsing the doll with lukewarm water between 35°C and 40°C to prevent damage to the material.
- Use a mild soap
Use a mild, pH-neutral soap (pH value between 5 and 7) without harsh chemicals.
- Sponge, cloth, or brush?
Use a soft sponge, microfiber cloth, or soft brush to clean the doll gently. Clean the doll with special attention to the intimate areas, and be careful around the eyes, ears, or other sensitive areas.
- Thorough rinsing
Then rinse the doll thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all soap residue.
- Drying
Pat the doll dry gently with a clean cloth. Avoid using a hair dryer because intense heat (higher than 30 degrees) will quickly and irreversibly damage the doll. After drying, leave the doll in a clean, dry place to air-dry completely. This prevents mold or mildew from forming.
- Applying talcum powder
Apply talcum powder after the doll is completely dry. This helps preserve its texture and also prevents it from feeling sticky and attracting dust.

Step 8: Store it properly
Always store your doll in a cool, dry place to prevent damage to the material and keep your doll in good condition. Ideally, the temperature should be between 5°C and 25°C.
Avoid damp areas such as bathrooms or basements, as mold and discoloration can develop there. Choose a storage box, wardrobe, or special hanger to keep the doll protected. Also make sure it is not exposed to direct sunlight, as UV radiation damages the material.

The most comfortable positions for a sex doll
Some positions are more realistic and comfortable than others, depending on your sex doll's flexibility. In general, positions where the doll experiences less bending or extreme pressure points are most suitable. Missionary is a popular choice because the doll lies in a natural position without unnecessary strain on the joints.
Doggy style also works well, especially when the doll has sturdy support. In addition, an adjustable bed or a soft surface, such as a mattress or thick blanket, improves the experience by providing extra cushioning and stability. This helps position the doll better and prevents unnecessary wear on the joints.
