Storage and transport are crucial to the longevity, appearance, and feel of your sex doll. A well-planned approach protects the pigmentation, joints, and surface finish, whether it's silicone or TPE. This guide explains how to store and transport a sex doll: gentle on the material, discreet, and suitable for everyday use.

Why proper storage is so important

Silicone and TPE react sensitively to pressure, heat, UV light, and moisture. Permanent point loads leave marks, strong sunlight bleaches colors, and residual moisture promotes odors. Careful storage keeps the real doll dimensionally stable, preserves the body makeup, and reduces maintenance requirements—the cornerstones of true longevity.

Hanging, lying, standing – the three storage types

Hanging support from a suitable suspension system relieves pressure on the contact surfaces and distributes weight across the skeleton. For models without hooks, lying support on light, soft, colorfast textiles is ideal. Standing support is only suitable for short periods of time; use supports/support bolts, shoes, or soft pads to prevent pressure points on the soles of the feet. In all cases, maintain a neutral position, keep your arms slightly bent, your hands relaxed, and avoid extreme knee/shoulder bending angles.

Climate & environment: constant is better

A consistent environment protects every material. Ideally, temperatures range from 15–25°C (59–77°F) with 40–60% relative humidity. Avoid window seats in direct sunlight, near radiators, damp basements, and attics with large temperature fluctuations. Regularly vary your position slightly when lying down to avoid pressure points.

Protection against discoloration & abrasion

Textile dyes can bleed, especially with TPE. For storage and transport, light-colored, breathable, pre-washed fabrics should be used between the skin and clothing. Avoid leaving dark leather, denim, or heavily pigmented fabrics directly on the skin for extended periods. When dressing, ensure soft interior surfaces and clean seams to avoid micro-scratches.

Transport: safe, discreet, back-friendly

The carrying case is the universal solution: padded, discreet, with carrying handles and straps. For longer journeys or frequent movement, a hard-shell case with foam inlays that support the hips, shoulders, and lower legs is recommended. Pad the head separately in foam or microfiber (with Quick Connect/Magnet); protect the hands and fingers with soft covers. Remove jewelry, wigs, and loose items before transport to prevent chafing. Keep the weight close to your body, plan your routes, and use lifting aids; your health is part of your care.

Preparation: clean, dry, neutralize

Before extended storage or shipping, rinse the channels with lukewarm water and mild soap, dry thoroughly, and refresh the surface finish: Lightly powder silicone to restore shine; if necessary, treat TPE sparingly with cosmetic mineral oil and then powder. Always store electronics/heating elements separately and in a dry place.

Accessories that really help

A hanging kit or sturdy stand, soft foot/shoulder pads, a carrying bag/hard case, microfiber cloths, protective covers, hand/finger covers, and foam inlays are essentials. For frequent movement, weight reduction (depending on the model) and feet are real convenience features. This turns "carrying carefully" into a reproducible, safe process.

Discretion & Security

Housedoll's storage and transport solutions are designed for discretion: a neutral appearance, unmarked packaging, and clear instructions regarding load capacity and fit. Installment plans or purchase on account (depending on the provider) allow you to add accessories at a reasonable price, making them useful if you store or transport dolls regularly and want to minimize wear and tear.
