The durability of a sex doll can be significantly affected by the environment in which it is stored or used. Whether you have a silicone or TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) doll, environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to direct sunlight can play a huge role in determining how long your doll lasts.
Heat and Humidity: Excessive heat is one of the biggest enemies of sex dolls, especially TPE dolls. High temperatures can cause the material to soften, warp, or even deform. On the other hand, cold temperatures can make the material brittle and more prone to cracking. Humidity is another important factor, as moisture can lead to mold or mildew growth on your doll, especially in the joints and crevices. If you live in a particularly humid or hot environment, it’s crucial to store your doll in a cool, dry place. A temperature range of 50-70°F (10-21°C) is ideal for preserving its durability.
Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the materials of your sex doll, particularly TPE and silicone, to degrade. UV rays break down the polymers in the material, leading to fading, cracking, or losing the soft, lifelike feel. To protect your doll from UV damage, always store it in a dark, shaded area when not in use.
Storage Considerations: The way you store your sex doll also affects its durability. Avoid leaving it in a position where it could get squished or bent for long periods. A supportive storage case or bag is an excellent way to prevent deformities. Always ensure your doll is in a safe place that avoids contact with sharp objects or extreme pressure.
By considering environmental factors and how you store and handle your doll, you can prolong its lifespan and maintain its realistic appearance and feel.
