goodfruits · Post by **goodfruits** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 4:49 am

I have a Doll on the way (should be here by the end of the day) and i wanted to ask you all if you have any advice specific to 6ye dolls, I think i got the regular (new) tpe blend, no oil, or powder needed. (I used to love oiling my dolls so ill miss that) but I think i will actually see what happens if i take 6ye a their word.

any thoughts? experiences?

thanks!

Congrats and yes it seems the new TPE blend of 6ye isnt even allowed to give an oil treatment.

Show us some picca's when your doll is there, 6ye is an aswesome brand.

i really love 6ye

but i do feel all tpe needs some oiling , she probably wont need any for a good while but i think some day she might need some.
some times 6ye ball joints can be very tight when you get them, just take it slow and gentle to work them

Good advice for any dolls is to move just one leg at the time and maybe support her labia area with your knee when bending her legs up(for missionary/doggie) to avoid stress to her back.

Cheers!

My Angel has very stiff hip joints. I have to assume a good leverage position to move her legs backwards.
Because she was dirtied by customs I had to give her an initial bath, but in the two months since she was fine without one.

Be very careful! You are about to encounter a woman-shaped, fragile piece of art! Choose a room to open the box and clear out anything that could be a hazard (sharp objects, pets, dark fabrics, etc.).

Block out a minimum of two or three hours to unpack her, put on her wig, etc.

Give yourself some emotional space. Looking her in the face for the first time will be intense, and wonderful.

Lastly, read some of the threads about moving her. A lot of us swear by the “carry the bride” pose: Bend her knees and lift her with one hand underneath, one behind her back. Use your legs, not back, to support her weight, and EXPECT to be surprised at her weight. Move slowly.

An adventure awaits you!

6YE TPE is absolutely wonderful for the feel, but it gets dirty quicker than other blends and is tricky to clean. I'd advise keeping her dressed and using the white gloves you will receive when moving and posing.

Also get ready for very tight joints. You'll probably be shocked initially how much force will be needed to move them. 6YE has a track record of this.

any cleaning tips? I heard if you clean it too harshly, it will be bad for the no oil tpe.....

what do you think of the vaseline/credit card method?

OH ! and will the joints loosen over time? can they be tightened again after?

I love that method and haven't seen it harm my 6YE/ HRs. But if anyone has a different take or has researched the chemical differences in 6YE's material, by all means, please chime in.

do you have one one of the new 6ye tpe blends? did you notice a "coating" come off?
