Are there items of clothing which can actually damage my doll

7.   Are there items of clothing which can actually damage my doll? 

  Dark clothing which is dyed with low quality dyes can stain the silicone if the doll is stored with these items on for long periods of time (10 days or more). As a precaution, wash all dark and vibrant colored clothes before putting them on your doll. Very tight or binding straps left on your doll over an extended period of time can form dents in her flesh, much the way it does on a real person; unlike a real person's flesh, however, the silicone can lose shape memory. In other words, it's fine to dress your doll in corsets or underwire bras, etc., but don't store her in these types of clothing for extended periods of time.

8.   Can I dress my doll in any type of clothing?

  Yes, you can dress your doll in anything you like but we recommend avoiding thick clothing such as denim jeans or boned items like corsets if you are leaving the doll dressed. Tight or heavy clothing can leave an impression in the silicone which will become permanent after a while (10 days or more). If you wish to put jeans on your doll we recommend putting pantyhose on it first so that the denim will slide over the silicone. Shirts that button, tie, snap or zip closed are easier to put on dolls than tops such as T-shirts or pullovers. You can now purchase beautiful clothing to fit your doll directly through us.

9.   How do I clean my doll?

  A cleaning kit is included with every doll which consists of a douche ball and antibacterial soap. As soon after you have used your doll as possible, flush the cavities out with warm water and antibacterial soap. The face of the doll can be removed for easy cleaning. You can run the face under hot water to clean it but avoid wetting the eyelashes.

10.   How do I move my doll?

  The best way to move your doll is to have him or her on a rolling chair such as a wheelchair or office chair. This makes it easier for you to avoid injury and it is less likely the doll will be dropped. When this is not an option, either lift the doll in the bridal lift (one arm behind the shoulders, the other beneath the knees) and lift with your knees rather than your back, or lift the doll from under its arms to carry it. Make sure to keep the hands in a protected position crossed over the doll�s chest, or over your shoulders to avoid damage when the doll is set down. For sex, you can use sex swings, light bondage kits and pillows to lift and pose your doll for play. When bending a joint, use a firm two-handed grip with one hand on either side of the joint. Firmly and slowly move the joint to the desired position being careful not to twist the silicone unnaturally. Never try to pull your doll towards you by the hands as this can severely damage the wrists.

11.   What is the best way to store my doll?

  For best maintenance of your doll, it should preferably be stored hanging in a neutral position, with legs slightly spread, from the provided neck bolt. The neck bolt is removable for when you are using the doll or when it is lying down. When storing your doll, avoid creases in the silicone as these creases can become permanent over time. If you prefer to store your doll lying or sitting down, make sure to move it regularly to avoid flat spots developing on the buttocks, legs or breasts. If a flat spot or crease develops it will be permanent. The crates in which the dolls are shipped are suitable for storage. For dolls such as bodies 5, 9 and 10 with large breasts, a soft bra should be kept on the doll when she�s in storage. You should not leave boned or underwire bras or clothes on a SeeRealDoll for long periods of time (more than 10 days).
