Material Quality

1. Silicone vs. TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer):
   • Silicone: Generally more durable and heat-resistant but can be more expensive.
   • TPE: Softer and more flexible but requires more careful maintenance to prevent tearing and staining.

Usage

1. Frequency of Use: Frequent use can lead to wear and tear, especially in high-stress areas like joints and orifices.
2. Handling: Rough handling can cause damage to the doll's surface and internal structure. Gentle use is recommended to prolong lifespan.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning: Regular and thorough cleaning is essential. Use antibacterial soap and warm water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
2. Drying: Ensure the doll is completely dry after cleaning to prevent mold and bacteria growth, especially in internal cavities.
3. Powdering: Applying talcum powder or cornstarch can prevent the doll's skin from becoming sticky and reduce friction that can cause tears.

Storage

1. Proper Storage Conditions: Store the doll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
2. Positioning: Avoid leaving the doll in positions that stress the joints or skin. Lying flat or hanging in a neutral position is ideal.
3. Protective Covers: Use blankets, sheets, or dedicated storage bags to protect the doll from dust and accidental damage.

Environmental Factors

1. Temperature: Extreme temperatures can damage the doll’s material. Avoid exposing the doll to excessive heat or cold.
2. Humidity: High humidity can encourage mold growth, while very dry conditions can make the material brittle.

Repair and Maintenance

1. Minor Repairs: Address small tears or damages promptly with repair kits designed for the doll’s material.
2. Joint Maintenance: Check and adjust the joints periodically to ensure they remain in good working condition.

Usage of Lubricants

1. Water-Based Lubricants: Always use water-based lubricants as they are safe for both silicone and TPE materials. Avoid oil-based or silicone-based lubricants which can degrade the material.

Avoiding Stains

1. Clothing: Be cautious with dark or brightly colored clothing that might transfer dyes onto the doll's skin. Pre-wash any clothing items to reduce the risk of staining.
2. Cleaning Agents: Avoid using colored cleaning agents that could leave stains.

Regular Inspections

1. Check for Damage: Regularly inspect the doll for signs of wear and tear, including small tears, discoloration, or loose joints.
2. Maintenance Schedule: Establish a regular maintenance schedule to keep the doll in optimal condition.

By paying attention to these factors, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your sex doll and ensure it remains in good condition for as long as possible.
