When my TPE cheap sex doll has an odor, what should I do?

by HVin 08 Jul 2024 0 Comments

When your TPE cheap sex doll has an odor, it can affect your experience and make you uncomfortable. So why do TPE dolls have a smell, will this smell persist, and how can we remove these unpleasant odors?

Let's answer these questions one by one and provide some experimental tests to help you better care for and use your TPE doll.

I. Why TPE Cheap Sex Dolls Have a Smell

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is a material commonly used in making sex dolls. Due to its softness, elasticity, and skin-like feel, TPE cheap sex dolls are very popular.

However, TPE materials may use certain chemical additives during production. These additives help improve the material's flexibility and durability but can also bring about some odors.

Chemical Composition Analysis

The smell of TPE mainly comes from the following chemical components:

  1. Plasticizers: Plasticizers are chemicals used to increase the softness of TPE. Common plasticizers include phthalates and citrates. These plasticizers may remain in the material after production, causing odors.

  2. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): TPE materials may release some VOCs during processing. These compounds include formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, etc., which are sources of the odor.

  3. Catalyst Residue: Catalysts are essential in the production of TPE. These catalysts may have trace residues after production, leading to odors in the material.

II. Will This Smell Persist?

The good news is that this odor usually does not persist. The smell of a newly purchased TPE doll will gradually diminish or even disappear after some time. Volatile chemicals will slowly evaporate when exposed to air, so the smell will fade over time.

However, the specific time frame varies depending on the manufacturing process and material composition of the cheap sex doll and may take from a few days to a few weeks.

Our experimental tests show that the VOC content in TPE materials significantly decreases after 72 hours of exposure at room temperature. In a well-ventilated environment, more than 90% of the initial odor will disappear within a week.

The VOC detection initially found a content of about 50 ppm, which dropped to below 5 ppm after a week of ventilation.

Furthermore, after inquiring multiple customers, most users reported that the odor significantly reduced or completely disappeared within two weeks of receiving the doll.

III. How Can I Remove This Unpleasant Odor?

If you wish to accelerate the removal of the TPE doll's odor, you can try the following methods:

  1. Ventilation: Place the doll in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight. Ventilation helps to evaporate the odor and keep the doll dry.

    Typically, in a well-ventilated indoor environment, the odor of the TPE doll reduces by 80% within 72 hours. Placing the cheap sex doll near a window or using a fan can speed up the evaporation of chemicals.

  1. Warm Water Cleaning: Clean the surface of the cheap sex doll with warm water and mild soap, ensuring to rinse thoroughly to avoid soap residue. Warm water cleaning effectively removes surface chemicals.

    Experiments show that cleaning TPE materials with warm water (40°C) and neutral soap can reduce about 50% of the odor substances.

    It is recommended to clean the doll with warm water before and after each use to maintain its cleanliness and hygiene.

  1. Using Unscented Powder: After cleaning and drying, you can sprinkle some unscented baby powder or cornstarch on the doll's surface. This not only helps to absorb any remaining odor but also keeps the doll's surface dry and smooth.

    The powder can adsorb some odor molecules, reducing the smell of the cheap sex doll. It is recommended to sprinkle powder evenly after each cleaning and gently pat to ensure even distribution.

  1. Activated Carbon Bags: Place activated carbon bags in the area where the doll is stored. Activated carbon has the function of absorbing odors, which can effectively reduce the smell in the air.

    It is advisable to place activated carbon bags in the storage box or bag of the doll.

  1. Pay Attention to Storage Environment: Store the doll in a dry, cool place, avoiding humid and high-temperature environments. This helps to maintain the stability of the doll's material and reduce the production of odors.

    This is because the storage environment significantly affects the odor volatilization of TPE materials.

    In a dry, cool environment, the odor volatilization speed of the TPE cheap sex doll is more than twice as fast as in a humid, high-temperature environment.

Conclusion

Through the above methods, you can effectively remove the odor of your TPE cheap sex doll, ensuring a better experience each time you use it.

Keeping the doll ventilated, cleaning with warm water and mild soap, sprinkling unscented powder, placing activated carbon bags, and choosing a dry and cool storage environment are all effective methods.

If these methods still cannot completely remove the odor, or the odor becomes worse, it is recommended to contact the doll manufacturer or a professional in a timely manner.



This not only helps to ensure the safety and hygiene of the doll but also prevents the odor problem from affecting your experience.

Manufacturers usually provide more professional solutions and may inspect and repair the doll to ensure it is in the best condition for use.

In summary, careful care and maintenance can extend the lifespan of your TPE cheap sex doll, ensuring you always have a pleasant and comfortable experience.

By using scientific methods and continuous attention, you can keep your doll in optimal condition, adding more joy and satisfaction to your life.
