Proper maintenance and care are essential to ensure the longevity and realism of your TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) sex doll, especially in Portugal’s diverse climate. TPE dolls are prized for their realistic feel but require specific care routines to maintain their quality. First, always clean your doll after use with mild soap and lukewarm water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the material. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently cleanse all body parts, paying extra attention to areas prone to sweat and dirt accumulation. To keep the TPE skin soft and supple, apply a specialized TPE-safe powder or silicone-based lubricant regularly, which prevents stickiness and maintains skin texture. Storage is equally important; keep your doll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures common in Portugal’s summer months, to prevent material degradation. When not in use, cover the doll with a soft cloth or a dedicated cover to avoid dust and dirt. Additionally, periodically check for any signs of wear or tears, and address repairs promptly to prevent further damage. Proper maintenance not only prolongs the life of your doll but also preserves its realistic appearance and tactile feel, ensuring a satisfying experience for years to come.
