Why Hygiene Matters (Even for Silicone Companions)

Let’s be real—whether it’s a high-end TPE doll or a premium silicone partner, *cleanliness is non-negotiable*. Bacteria, dust, and body oils don’t discriminate between human skin and synthetic materials. A well-maintained doll:

– Lasts years longer (saving you $$$)
– Feels more realistic with proper care
– Prevents icky odors and discoloration

Quick Hygiene Checklist

✔️ **Post-use wipe-down** (every time!)
✔️ **Deep clean** every 2-4 weeks
✔️ **Powdering routine** for TPE dolls
✔️ **Storage prep** to avoid damage
