Hi everyone, I got my new 145+ doll body in and I'll update my other thread once the doll head arrives

So I put black lingerie on my doll body to try it out and after I took off the lingerie theres now a slightly black inprint on the dolls back...does this go away on it's own? I've tried water but that didn't help. Wondering if others have experienced this

It will go away on its own given time. (few days to weeks. Months if its very dark) Some isoproponal might help get rid of some of it if its really bad. use a paper towel and carefully rub it in, using enough to keep the paper towel wet and 0 friction feeling. If the paper towel sticks at any time, apply more iso.

If you see the paper towel change color to that of the stain, its working, if not, its doing nothing and stop.

Friction is the enemy of the doll skin. don't rub hard. don't rub dry. Its best to just wait it out unless its a very bad stain.

Always wash all clothing before they wear em. Always often check for stains when wearing any new black clothing. ideally test the clothing wrapped around an insert with a weight placed on top.

Thus far, I have had 100% success (no stains) with dark blue/red and black *satin* clothing (Very smooth, thin, absolutely 0 stretch fabric, often shiny on one side). Black cotton 35%/poly 65% blend stained silicone.

happend to my DS163 last year
though if you inspect more closely, sometimes it could just be fibres from the dark clothings stuck on the skin, instead of actual staining

in my case I managed to remove the stain/fibres with soap + warm water + sponge
careful not to rub too hard and too constantly, as I find DS' skin/coating could easily be rubbed off / peeled if rubbing too long without proper lubrication

remember to regularly re-wet the surface with soap and warm water to avoid damaging the coatings

Thanks, this is very helpful! It's not a very dark spot, but it's big, covering her lower back.

Satin clothing must be a doll's best friend, I bought some too and it doesn't leave any marks. It was only that black lingerie that I should have washed first.

I had a black bikini top on my 163 for 6 hours and got a deep stain, looked like a black and blue bruise on a person, very dark purple, let it be and was gone in a week, completely!

Baby oil used short term then immidiately washed off worked well on severaldolls i have owned massage it by hand on thestain for a fewminutes than remove with isopropyl on a cotton pad. This a short term solution. You MUST clean it off with isopropyl alcohol immideately after you finish "massaging the area with baby oil.

The stains also go on their own. I'm just not patient at all.
Best of luck.

Yep. It does go away surprisingly quickly. I actually noticed that as the stain was nearly gone, it kind of looked better since the skin now had subtle changes in color.

And yes, with new clothing, some clothing stains amazingly fast, check after the first couple minutes, first hour, 2nd hour, 4th hour and ideally consider taking her right out of the clothing around the 2nd or 4th hour just to do a much better inspection.

Wash wash wash in hot water before you use clothing for the first time. Even then take care not to leave colored clothing on for a long time.

Note: Wigs/ the cap of the wig can leave stains as well, do the same wash, let soak in HOT water before use.
