Introduction

When you finally receive your very first sex doll, it’s natural to feel both excited and a little unsure of what to do next. Many beginners have the same questions: “How should I properly unbox her?”, “What should I keep in mind when moving or positioning her?”, “How do I make sure she stays safe and undamaged?”

A sex doll is not just an ordinary purchase. She comes with a significant price tag and requires proper care and handling to maintain her beauty and functionality. For first-time owners, inexperience can sometimes lead to scratches, joint damage, or even a shorter lifespan for the doll.

That’s why having a step-by-step beginner’s guide is so important before you get truly intimate with her. This article will walk you through the entire process—from unboxing and inspection, to dressing and setup, all the way to preparing for your first real experience.

By following these steps, you’ll quickly realize that she isn’t just a product you bought—she’s a partner who can accompany you and bring you a lifelike, deeply personal experience.

Move the Box to a Spacious Area

A life-size sex doll usually stands between 150–176 cm (about 4.9–5.7 ft) and weighs anywhere from 55–130 lbs. Add the thick protective packaging, and the whole box can easily make you wonder if you accidentally ordered gym equipment instead.

So the very first rule is—don’t play hero!

If it feels too heavy to carry on your own, ask someone to help. Don’t worry—they won’t have a clue what’s inside. The shipping box is completely discreet with no words like “doll” or anything suggestive printed on it. To anyone else, it just looks like a large, ordinary package.

Once you’ve got the box in place, try to move it into a more spacious room. This will make the unboxing, setup, and dressing process so much easier. Don’t underestimate this small detail—if you force yourself to unpack in a cramped space, you might end up scrambling, bumping into things, or worse, accidentally hurting her. And that would be a real shame.

Unboxing

1. Opening the Package

Now comes the most exciting part—unboxing!

Before you get started, prepare the right tools: a small utility knife or a pair of round-tipped scissors is best. Avoid using anything too large or sharp, as one wrong move could scratch the sex doll’s skin—and that’s definitely not how you want your “first meeting” to go.

The proper way is to gently cut along the tape at the center of the box. Don’t rush it—take your time, peeling the seal little by little, almost like unwrapping a gift.

That small sense of ceremony makes it even more special. And the moment you lift the box lid, you’ll find her lying quietly inside, safely cushioned by soft padding. The feeling is surreal—like meeting a sleeping goddess for the very first time.

2. Taking the Love Doll Out

Don’t rush to grab her just yet—first, observe how she’s positioned. Most dolls are packed with their arms tucked in and legs straightened, which keeps them safer during transport.

Here’s the right way to lift her out:

• Arms: Gently fold her arms across her chest so they don’t swing around while moving.
• Legs: Bend her legs slightly to help stabilize her center of gravity.
• Hold: Carry her in a princess hold—support her from the waist and under her legs at the same time. This distributes the weight evenly and prevents stress on any single joint.

Keep in mind, a life-size doll isn’t exactly lightweight. She’s nothing like a pillow you can just scoop up casually. If you don’t have much upper body strength, it’s best to handle this step near a soft surface—like a bed or carpeted floor—so even if you struggle, she stays safe.

Checking Your Sex Doll’s Condition and Functions

The very first thing to do after unboxing is not rushing into use, but carefully inspecting her. This step is crucial to make sure you’ve received a partner who’s truly “perfect.”

1. Appearance Check

Overall completeness: Confirm that all body parts are intact—head, hands, feet, everything in place.

Skin condition: Look for any scratches, dents, or visible flaws. Minor creases from shipping usually disappear on their own after some time, but deeper cracks should be taken seriously.

Customized details: If you ordered a custom doll, carefully check every item against your order—skin tone, eye color, hairstyle, breast size, pubic hair style, etc. Don’t skip any detail—this is an important step to protect your rights.

2. Skeleton & Joint Function Test (for sex dolls with articulated skeletons)

Beyond her appearance, the real “soul” of a doll lies in her skeleton. Most high-end sex dolls come with an internal metal frame that can mimic natural human movements. You can perform some gentle tests (using SE’s EVO skeleton as an example):

(1) Sitting Position

Place her on a flat surface like a bed or table. Gently bend her arms, then lift her thighs upward. Support her neck with one hand and her legs with the other, using her hips as the pivot to sit her up slowly. Adjust her lower legs and arms until she looks like a well-behaved girl sitting upright.

(2) Shoulder Shrug

Never yank her arms upward directly—that could break the frame or tear the skin.

The correct way (taking the right shoulder as an example): hold her left shoulder steady with one hand, press under her right armpit with the other, then gently lift the right shoulder. This looks natural and keeps her safe.

(3) Side Bend

A common mistake is grabbing her thighs and rocking her side to side—this is very risky and can damage the joints or abrade the skin texture.

The proper method: spread her arms slightly, support her neck with one hand, press her waist with the other, and let her torso bend gracefully to one side.

(4) Waist Twist

Twisting her by grabbing the shoulders and waist directly can easily strain the joints.

Instead, secure her lower legs gently with your own legs, place your hands on her shoulders, and guide her upper body to turn left or right.

(5) Correct Standing Position

Start with her lying flat. Straighten her legs and adjust the spacing between her feet. Keep her arms naturally at her sides, then support her back as you gradually raise her upright. Once she’s balanced, carefully let go.

(6) Hand & Finger Movement

Her hands are the most delicate part, and often overlooked. First stabilize her arm, then adjust her wrists and fingers one by one. You can gently bend or straighten them, but never force them all at once. Keep her hands looking naturally relaxed.

Assembly and Dressing

Once you’ve confirmed that your doll’s appearance and skeleton are in perfect condition, it’s time to move on to the most exciting part—the moment where she truly comes to life. Inspection is just the foundation; what really makes her “yours” begins with assembly and decoration.

1. Installing the Head

Most dolls have heads that connect to the neck via either a threaded joint or a snap-on connector. Gently twist or press until it feels secure. Avoid using brute force, as that may damage the joint. If you feel resistance, check the alignment before proceeding. Once attached, you’ll notice how instantly her aura becomes more vivid and lifelike.

2. Dressing Your Doll

Before she is “reborn,” pick out an outfit you’ve prepared for her. Whether it’s sexy lingerie, a soft nightgown, or casual everyday clothes, each choice can completely transform her style.

When dressing her, handle her arms and legs with care—never force them. It’s best to start with looser garments, like a camisole dress or a T-shirt. These are easier to put on and help prevent accidental scratches on her skin.

3. Putting on the Wig

The final touch is placing her wig. Hairstyles can completely change her personality—short hair for a chic look, long hair for a gentle presence, or curls for a sultry vibe. Once the wig is on, she transforms from “doll” to “goddess,” ready to step into her role as your companion.

At this point, your new partner is fully prepared. The only thing left is to settle her into a comfortable spot and let your very first moments together unfold in a relaxed and natural atmosphere.

Settling Your Sex Doll

Once she’s dressed and fully adjusted, it’s time to place her into your shared “special space.” This step might sound simple, but it still requires a touch of care.

1. Gently Place Her on the Bed

A doll is quite heavy, and while her joints are flexible, they’re not built for rough handling. Always lower her gently—treat her with the same tenderness you would a real partner. The best choice is a soft bed or sofa, where she can rest securely.

2. Adjust Her Posture

Carefully position her arms and legs so they lie naturally, avoiding any awkward twists. This not only looks more relaxed but also prevents long-term strain on her joints. You can make slight adjustments to her posture so she appears more like she’s resting comfortably.

3. Things to Keep in Mind

Avoid sharp objects: Never leave scissors, keys, or anything sharp on the bed—they could easily scratch her skin.

Keep it soft: Cotton sheets or blankets are ideal, offering comfort while protecting her material.

Clean surface: Make sure the bed is clean, free of dust or stains, to help preserve her skin and extend her lifespan.

First Use

When she’s lying quietly on the bed, almost as if waiting for you to awaken her, you’re probably already eager to begin. Everything up until now has just been the “preparation stage”—and now comes the moment you’ve been anticipating most: your very first intimate experience with her. 

1. Pre-Interaction Preparation

Don’t rush straight in—foreplay is just as important.

Cleaning: Before use, rinse her thoroughly with warm water or an antibacterial soap solution to make the experience safer and more comfortable.

Lubricant: Always use a water-based lubricant. It ensures a smoother, more pleasurable experience while also protecting the material.

Atmosphere: Dim the lights, put on some music, maybe even spray a little fragrance—small details that make the moment feel much more real.

2. The Experience

Her articulated skeleton allows you to adjust her into a variety of positions. For beginners, it’s best to start with simple poses such as missionary or doggy style. These are easy to handle, gentle on the doll, and help you adapt quickly. As you grow more comfortable, you can gradually experiment with more positions and discover what suits you best.
