Common Damages

1, Tearing and breakage: The joints and frequently contacted parts of the doll, such as knees and elbows, may be torn or broken due to frequent activities or improper manipulation, resulting in material layering or splitting.

Or use sharp items to contact the silicone surface, such as some people like to pinch the breast and other parts with their fingernails, try the softness, and often regret to leave nail impressions. Once the incision is produced, it is easy to gradually tear along the direction of the incision when continued use, causing complete damage.

TPE sex dolls are very soft and have better tensile strength which let them adapt to more strenuous exercise. They are not easy to tear. However, it is not scratch-resistant, easy to peel after scratching, and easy to be scratched by sharp objects. Silicone material is slightly harder and more scratch-resistant than TPE. But it is easy to tear.

2, Deformation: If the doll stays in the same position for a long time or is stored in an inappropriate environment, such as high temperature or humidity, some parts of it may deform and lose its original shape and appearance.

When you have sex with sex dolls, the effect of your weight may also leave pressure marks, leaving dents.TPE dolls are easily deformed by long-term pressure, which is difficult to recover. Silicone dolls are much less problematic to deform under pressure than TPE. 

3, Dyeing and fading: dark dyes are especially likely to cause dolls to stain. After you dress your doll in dark clothing or sit on a dark couch, the doll may be stained with other colors. If the surface of the doll is often washed or exposed to direct sunlight, the color may gradually fade away from the original vividness and become dull.

TPE is a porous material, which is more likely to adsorb color. Silicone dolls are usually not easy to stain, but if staining occurs, it may be more difficult to deal with.

4, Accessory damage: The doll's wig, eyes, teeth or heads may fall off or get damaged due to improper use or aging of the glue and need to be reattached or replaced.

Due to the softness and elasticity of the TPE material, the attachments do not last as long as silicone, which is harder, easier to implant wigs, etc. and less likely to fall off.

Repair process and methods

1，Tearing and Breakage

Tools/materials needed: cleaner, cotton swabs, glue, spatula, gloves

Approximate time required: 30 minutes

Suitable for TPE sex doll and Silicone sex doll.

Steps：

1, Cleaning:Use appropriate cleaning products to gently clean the damaged areas of your doll, removing grease and dirt. 

2, Applying glue: Please choose the glue suitable for the material, TPE glue for TPE material and silicone glue for silicone. In addition to glue, you need to prepare some long auxiliary tools, such as spatula, for more precise operation.

Apply the glue evenly to the torn area, then press gently but firmly to align and bond the cracks together, holding this position for about 2 to 5 minutes to ensure that the glue has plenty of time to work.

3, Curing: When the crack is basically bonded, gently wipe away any excess glue that squeezes out with a clean towel. Before the glue is fully cured, wipe away any residual glue from the doll's skin to avoid leaving marks.

Finally, make sure that the repaired area is not subjected to any tension during the drying process. Allow the doll to sit in a weightless environment for at least 24 hours to ensure that the glue is fully cured, and do not move or squeeze the doll during this time to achieve the best possible repair.

Notes on the restoration process:

1，Do not leave water on the surface of the doll's skin after cleaning and make sure that the doll is thoroughly dried so that the doll's skin is always dry and clean.

2, Ensure that the work surface is clean and dust free to avoid introducing new contaminants during the restoration process.

3，Place the doll horizontally to prevent glue spillage and to ensure that the repair material is evenly distributed over the wound.

4，Before gluing, make sure the edges of the wound are aligned; this helps to restore the doll's original form and minimize repair marks.

5，It is recommended that you wear gloves and use these tools to carefully scrape and remove dirt and impurities from the tear to prevent more particles or grease from staining the rest of the doll.

6，TPE needs to cure for at least 30 minutes and silicone needs more time, about 6-8 hours.

2，Deformation

Tools/materials needed: white towel, warm water, hair dryer

Approximate time taken: 30 minutes

Suitable for TPE sex doll and Silicone sex doll

Steps:

1, First, prepare a clean, soft, white towel, slightly moistened with warm water, and lay the moistened towel flat over the dented area of the doll's skin, making sure it is completely covered.

 2, Pick up the hair dryer, adjust it to a medium temperature setting, and then aim it at the towel to heat it up, allowing the heat to transfer through the towel to the doll's skin. During the heating process, pay attention to the changes in the dents. If done properly, you will notice that the dents gradually become smoother or even disappear altogether after a few repetitions of heating.

 3, After completing the heating, gently remove the towel and allow the doll to cool naturally, check the restoration results, and repeat the above steps if necessary until a satisfactory restoration is achieved.

 4, If you don't have a hair dryer at home, soak a towel in hot water and then, gently cover the doll's dent with the hot towel.You can use your hand or an appropriate tool to gently pat the area to help the dent recover.

As the temperature of the water gradually decreases, the towel will no longer have its initial heat, at which point it will need to be re-heated by immersing the towel in hot water and repeating the patting process described above. This repeated heating and patting will help to remove the indentations from the doll's body and restore its original smooth appearance.

Notes on the restoration process:

1, the temperature of the water and the temperature of the hair dryer should not be too hot, so as not to damage the material of the doll.

2, In order to avoid unnecessary heat damage to the doll's skin, the hair dryer should be used at an appropriate distance. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the hair dryer at least four inches (about 10 centimeters) away from the skin of the sex doll.

3, Repeated heating and cooling of the doll will cause the oil to dry out and need to be re-oiled. After completing all the steps, you can apply some powder to ensure the doll's finish.

3，Dyeing and Fading

Tools/materials needed: special cleaner, color remover, makeup remover, lemon water

Approximate time required: 10 minutes

Suitable for TPE sex doll and Silicone sex doll.

3, Buy special color removal cream, use a towel to wipe the stained area clean, then use a paper towel to absorb the moisture, the color removal cream evenly coated in the stained area, and then the doll is placed in a cool and ventilated place, a few hours after cleaning with shower gel, can be repeated until the effect.

4, for silicone dolls, slight staining can try to use makeup remover oil or olive oil, pour it on a cotton pad, gently wipe the stained area, and then rinse with water.

Notes on the restoration process:

1, Avoid using alcohol or chemical solvents as they may damage the TPE material.

2, Avoid rubbing hard to protect the surface of the doll.

3, Serious staining can use color removing cream, but be aware that color removing cream may be slightly corrosive to the doll and should be tested in an inconspicuous place before use.

4，Accessory damage

Tools/Materials required: glue, spatula, water-based lubricant

Approximate time: 15 minutes

For Silicone sex doll

Steps:

1, Nails: Line up the shed (loose) nail with the bare nail. Apply a thin, even layer of glue to the exposed nail area. Don't over-apply glue, aim for an even, thin covering. Once aligned correctly, hold it down for 5 seconds.

2, Eyes: Lay the doll flat, carefully pull the eyelids back up and down, enter with a round head stick from the side of the eye socket, pry out and take out the eyeball, and apply some water-based lubricant to the edge of the eye socket and behind the new eyeball. Insert the new eye into the socket and slightly adjust the eyeball to the desired Angle.

Notes on the restoration process:

1, Before handling accessories, ensure that the contact surface of the doll and accessories is clean and free of oil.

2, If the aging of the glue causes the attachment to fall off, it is necessary to remove the old glue and then re-paste with a new adhesive.
