When using a sex doll, skin sensitivity should be a top priority. Some materials, such as TPE, are soft and pliable but can irritate certain skin types, particularly if not properly maintained. The porous nature of TPE can trap moisture, sweat, and bacteria, leading to potential skin issues, infections, or rashes if not cleaned thoroughly. Silicone, in contrast, is often a safer material for those with sensitive skin due to its non-porous, hypoallergenic properties.
Before using a sex doll, consider testing a small area of your skin against the material to check for any allergic reactions or irritation. Using a water-based lubricant is often recommended, as some lubricants, especially those with high levels of oil, can damage the doll’s surface and lead to degradation over time. Regularly washing the doll with a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner is essential for minimizing the risk of irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Additionally, using powder on the doll after cleaning helps maintain the texture and feel of the material while preventing any sticky residue. By understanding the potential impacts of the material on your skin, you can make informed decisions to ensure your safety and comfort.
