    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 a skin-friendly soap without harsh chemicals. Avoid cleaning agents like dishwasher detergent, which can damage the material.
    • Soft cloth or microfiber cloth: Clean the doll and openings gently with a cloth that does not scratch. Avoid abrasive materials like scouring pads.
    • Avoid harsh cleaning agents: Do not use products with alcohol, solvents, or strong chemicals, as these can weaken the material. Alcohol dries out the TPE material. (1)

    Step 2: Completely dry the sex doll 

    Dry the sex doll well after cleaning. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove moisture. This prevents fibers or lint from remaining on the doll’s skin, which disrupts the experience. Make sure the cloth is large enough to dry the entire surface of the doll.

    Start with the most moist areas and work systematically towards the rest of the body. Pat gently and avoid rubbing roughly 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 odor but also extends the lifespan of your erotic doll by 1-2 years.

    Step 3: Choose a safe and comfortable location 

    Place your doll on the right surface for the best experience. Choose a soft, non-fuzzy surface like a satin sheet or pillow. This is included with your order by default. This prevents damage to the doll and keeps the materials 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 sensitive parts of the doll and spread it evenly. This ensures the doll moves smoothly during use and prevents material damage from friction.

    Always use water-based lubricant, as it 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 faster or even break. Water-based lubricant is also easy to clean, simplifying 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 extend the lifespan by 1-2 years and increase your comfort during use.

    Step 5: Set the sex doll in the desired pose 

    Hold the sex doll correctly to ensure both the doll’s and your safety. Follow these steps to position the doll in the desired pose without causing damage to the joints or the doll’s material.

     

    • Hold the doll firmly in the right places
      Lift the sex doll with two hands and hold her firmly at the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips, waist, back, or abdomen. Avoid lifting the doll only by the joints (such as wrists, shoulders, or ankles), as this puts extra pressure on the joints, leading to damage.

    • Lift the doll slowly and controlled
      Always lift the doll slowly, straight, and controlled. Avoid dragging, pulling, or quick movements that overload the joints or cause damage to the doll.

    • Place the doll in the desired pose
      Position the sex doll in the desired pose and avoid placing her in extreme positions to prevent joint strain. Dolls have a flexible wire structure in the hands and feet, but these will break if twisted too far.

    • Watch for 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 joint mobility.

    • Avoid overloading the joints
      Regularly adjusting the pose helps prevent damage to the joints. If you notice the doll struggles to stand upright, it is important to reconsider how you use her and avoid overloading the joints.

     

    By following these tips, you ensure that your sex doll is positioned safely and durably in the desired pose, 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 to use the sex doll safely and comfortably.

    Ensure a comfortable environment

    Make sure you have a suitable and comfortable space where you use the doll. A sturdy surface, like a bed or mattress, is ideal. This provides stability and prevents damage to the doll or discomfort for you during use. Always handle the sex doll with care. Treat the doll with care and respect to protect both the doll and yourself. Avoid excessive force, as this causes damage to the doll.

    Use water-based lubricant as it is the best choice for most sex dolls. Lubricant reduces friction, increases comfort, and prevents damage to the doll. Apply 10 ml to intimate areas such as the vagina and anus for a smoother experience.

    Step 7: Cleaning after use

    After using your sex doll, clean her thoroughly for both hygiene and long-term maintenance. Here is a step-by-step guide to properly clean your doll:

    • Remove any accessories first
      If you have used accessories, such as a vagina or anal insert, remove them from the doll first.

    • Rinse with lukewarm water
      Start by rinsing the doll with lukewarm water between 35°C and 40°C to avoid damaging the material.

    • Use a gentle soap
      Use a mild, pH-neutral soap (pH between 5 and 7) without harsh chemicals.

    • Sponge, cloth, or brush?
      Use a soft sponge, microfiber cloth, or soft brush to gently clean the doll. Clean the doll with special attention to the intimate areas and be careful around the eyes, ears, or other sensitive parts.

    • Thorough rinsing
      Then rinse the doll thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all soap residues.

    • Drying
      Gently pat the doll dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using a hairdryer because intense heat (above 30 degrees) will quickly and irreversibly damage the doll. After drying, let the doll air dry completely in a clean, dry place. This prevents mold or mildew formation.

    • Powdering with talcum powder
      Apply talcum powder after the doll is completely dry. This preserves the texture and also prevents it from feeling sticky and attracting dust.

    Step 8: Store properly

    Always store your doll in a cool, dry place to prevent material damage 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 placed in 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 the flexibility of your sex doll. Generally, 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 if the doll receives firm support. Additionally, 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.
