Good hygiene prevents bacteria and infections, while regular cleaning is essential for safe use. Proper storage protects the doll from damage and contamination. In the following paragraphs you can read how to optimally apply these factors.

Which materials are the safest?

The safest materials are TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) and silicone. TPE and silicone are different and have their own advantages and disadvantages:

• Silicone
  • Skin friendliness: Hypoallergenic and contains no hazardous substances, safe for most skin types, even sensitive skin.
  • Durability: Highly durable, resistant to cracking, deformation and discoloration, retains shape and color even after prolonged use.
  • Texture and feel: Less flexible than TPE, feels colder to the touch, but warms on body contact.
  • Maintenance: Easy to clean, little maintenance required, clean with mild soap and water, sometimes special silicone maintenance agent.
  • Price: Average 2 to 3 times more expensive than the same product made of TPE. Average price for a complete silicone doll is 2000-4000 euros depending on the finish, options and details.

• TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)
  • Skin friendliness: Generally safe, provides soft and realistic skin texture. Cheap varieties may contain toxic chemicals.
  • Durability: More flexible and realistic feel than silicone, but less durable and more susceptible to damage such as cracks or dents.
  • Texture and feel: Softer and more elastic, feels warmer and adapts faster to body temperature.
  • Maintenance: Requires more care and maintenance, regular cleaning and thorough drying to prevent bacteria and odors.
  • Price: The cheapest option when it comes to sex dolls. Depending on the weight, options and finish, TPE dolls cost between 800 and 1500 euros.

Silicone is 2 to 3 times more expensive, but is more resistant to long-term use, silicone is also hypoallergenic, while TPE is more flexible and offers a more realistic skin texture, but requires more maintenance.

How do you keep a sex doll hygienic?

You keep a sex doll hygienic by cleaning the sex doll carefully after each use. Follow the steps below to ensure that your love doll is well maintained and remains.

Step 1: Remove dirt and impurities

Before you begin cleaning your sex doll, remove any dirt or residue from use. Start by wiping down surfaces with a clean, dry cloth to remove any visible dust or dirt.

Step 2: Clean with suitable cleaning agent

Use a special cleaning agent that is suitable for the material of your sex doll. Choose a mild (pH value between 5 and 7), antibacterial cleaning agent without harsh chemicals such as alcohol or sodium hydroxide, as these will damage the skin or the material. Avoid cleaning agents with alcohol or bleach, as these will damage the doll. Use special toy cleaners, which are safe for most sex doll materials.

Step 3: Rinse thoroughly

Rinse the sex doll thoroughly and internally with lukewarm water between 35-40°C to completely remove all cleaning agents. Make sure that no residue of the cleaning agent remains, as this will cause irritation when used.

Step 4: Dry the doll thoroughly

Dry your doll after cleaning and rinsing. Use a clean towel to gently pat the doll dry. Then let the sex doll air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. This prevents moisture from remaining, which causes mold. Dry the internal canals preferably with diatomite drying sticks to remove as much water as possible.

Step 5: Disinfected storage

Once your doll is completely dry, store it on its back in a clean, dry place. Make sure the doll is in a bag or on a surface that is free from dust and dirt. Preferably, place the doll in a storage bag to prevent it from coming into contact with other objects that are harmful to hygiene.

How often should you clean a sex doll?

It is recommended to clean your sex doll after each use with our maintenance tips to ensure hygiene. If you do not use the doll often, it is still important to clean it at least once a month to prevent dirt and bacteria. Regular maintenance keeps your doll in good condition and ensures 1 to 3 years of pleasure without health risks.

Are sex dolls safe for your health?

Yes, sex dolls are safe for your health, provided they are made of the right materials and are properly maintained. Safety depends on the material and maintenance. High-quality TPE and silicone dolls are usually safe, but cheaper versions can cause allergies or irritations. Therefore, always buy from a reliable supplier that meets safety standards.

Good maintenance is important. Insufficient cleaning such as once a year can cause bacteria to build up, which causes infections. Cleaning after each use with mild soap (with a pH value between 5-7) and water, drying well and using an alcohol-free antibacterial spray, minimizes health risks.

Some people may have allergic reactions to TPE or silicone. Check that the doll is hypoallergenic, especially if you have sensitive skin. Incorrect maintenance can promote bacterial growth, especially in sensitive areas. In the following paragraphs we will discuss regulations and health risks in more detail.

Do sex dolls meet safety standards?

Yes, sex dolls meet strict safety standards within Dutch law, provided they are produced according to applicable regulations and quality standards.

In the EU, sex dolls are produced and tested according to the REACH directive , which guarantees that materials are safe for human contact. REACH stands for "Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals" and focuses on the safe use of chemical substances in products.

In the US, sex dolls must comply with FDA regulations for materials that come into contact with skin and mucous membranes. This ensures that the materials used are not harmful to health.

Existing quality marks, such as CE marking in the EU, demonstrate that a product meets the necessary safety and health standards for the European market.

In the US, there are quality marks such as ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), which test the safety of materials, including those of sex dolls, to ensure that they do not contain harmful substances.

It is essential to purchase a certified sex doll, as approved products are guaranteed to meet safety standards. This prevents health risks, such as skin irritations or exposure to dangerous chemicals that are released by poorly manufactured dolls.

Choose a certified sex doll. This way you know for sure that the materials have been tested for skin safety and durability.

Are there any health risks associated with sex dolls?

Yes, health risks arise especially with cheap or uncertified sex dolls. Unsafe materials such as PVC can cause skin irritations, ranging from mild redness to allergic reactions. Cheaper dolls sometimes contain harmful substances such as phthalates, which pose health risks.

To prevent this, choose a certified sex doll made of medical silicone or high-quality TPE, as these materials are hypoallergenic and skin-friendly. Look for quality marks such as CE, which guarantee compliance with European safety standards. Regular cleaning with skin-safe products and proper storage minimize the risk of bacterial growth and mold formation.

How do you ensure safe use of a sex doll?

You ensure the safe use of a sex doll by always paying attention to both hygiene and maintenance. This includes thoroughly cleaning the doll after each use, using condoms for protection, and regularly checking for damage that affects safety.

Safe use not only means using the doll in a hygienic way, but also storing it correctly and maintaining it once a month to prevent long-term damage. For example, it is important to store the sex doll in a dry (humidity below 70%), cool place. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures above 24 degrees. In addition, it is essential to inspect the doll once a month and carry out the necessary repairs in case of wear.

By following these steps, you will not only extend the life of the doll by 1-2 years, but you will also guarantee that you have a clean sex toy. In the following sections, we will give you concrete tips for cleaning, maintaining and properly storing your sex doll.

How do you prevent damage to your sex doll?

You can prevent damage to your sex doll by:

• Please handle the doll with care and avoid rough handling to prevent damage to the skin and joints.
• Do not expose the doll to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight as this can weaken and warp the material. Store the doll in a dry, cool place below 25°C.
• Maintain the doll regularly by cleaning it thoroughly after each use and letting it dry completely. This prevents wear and bacterial growth.
• Prevent cracks or holes by avoiding sharp objects such as rings, watches or long nails. Provide a soft base and pay attention to hard surfaces. If damage occurs, you can look at our repair tips .
• Be careful not to apply excessive force when moving or positioning, as excessive pressure may damage the joints or internal mechanisms.
