Complete Guide to Powdering and Storing Sex Dolls
Why Powdering Your Sex Doll Is Essential
TPE and silicone materials naturally become slightly tacky after cleaning, which can attract dust and lint. С течение на времето, this stickiness can make your doll feel less realistic and harder to handle. A light layer of powder can instantly restore the silky, soft touch that feels pleasant on the skin. It also minimizes friction during use and helps clothing or lingerie slide on and off the doll without snagging.
Powdering isn’t just about aesthetics it’s also about long-term protection. Without regular powdering, TPE surfaces can dry out faster or even develop tiny cracks. Applying powder once every 1-2 weeks ensures the doll remains smooth and comfortable to touch.
Choosing the Right Powder
Not all powders are safe for use on sex dolls, so selecting the right product is essential.
Cornstarch vs Baby Powder
Cornstarch is one of the safest and most affordable options. It’s natural, non toxic and doesn’t clog the doll’s surface pores. Many experienced doll owners recommend cornstarch because it feels smooth, leaves no harsh residue and is easy to clean off.
Baby powder on the other hand, can also be effective, but make sure it is talc free. Talc can sometimes cause irritation or interact poorly with TPE materials. Look for unscented or lightly scented formulas to avoid any chemical damage.
Another alternative is to use specialized sex doll powder sold by doll manufacturers which is formulated specifically for TPE and silicone.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Powder
Preparation Before Powdering
Before applying powder, always ensure the doll is completely clean and dry. Any moisture left on the surface could cause the powder to clump or form residue.
- Wash the doll with lukewarm water and mild antibacterial soap or a specialized doll cleaner.
- Pat it dry with a soft microfiber towel.
- Let the doll air-dry for 30-60 minutes to ensure all hidden areas (подмишници, ставите, гънки) are fully dry.
How to Apply Powder
След като куклата изсъхне, pour a small amount of cornstarch or baby powder into a container. Use a large, soft makeup brush or powder puff to pick up the powder. Gently dab or brush the powder onto the doll’s skin, working in small circular motions.
Focus on even coverage but avoid using too much. A thin layer is enough to create a silky, non-sticky surface. Too much powder will leave a chalky appearance.
Key Areas to Focus On
Certain parts of the doll are more prone to friction or stickiness. Pay extra attention to:
- Underarms and inner thighs.
- Elbows and knees.
- Groin and torso folds.
- Fingers and toes, which may attract dust easily.
Proper Storage Tips
Ideal Environment
Storing your sex doll properly is just as important as regular cleaning and powdering. Always choose a cool, dry and dark environment. Direct sunlight or high heat can cause TPE to soften or deform over time. Avoid damp or humid areas to prevent mold or odor buildup.
Storage Options
There are a few safe ways to store your doll:
- Storage Bag or Case: A padded storage bag protects the doll from dust, scratches and accidental damage.
- Hanging Storage: If your doll comes with a neck hook, hanging is a great way to prevent flattening or creases in the body. Ensure the hook is sturdy and won’t pull on the doll’s structure.
Never leave the doll sitting or lying in the same position for long periods as this can create permanent marks or compressions.
