Damage after two uses on first day

[seagull]

The only constancy with dolls is that there's no constancy, one would think they're all hand made

about the skin peeling on arms and leg, isnt that why you need to oil them?

That's the word but honestly constantly oiling my doll has not been good for me. I used to oil one doll maybe once every 2 months and even when I used to wait a couple of days for the oil to absorb and then powder, the doll would develop this layer of dirt and gunk all over her skin that was super sticky and soooooooooooo hard to get off. It literally was like chewing gum and no matter how hard I tried, using anti grease soap and scrubbers I could never really get it off 100%. This was caused by the combination of oils, dirt and baby powder. It's terrible stuff! After that I vowed never to oil her unless it was to remove a stain or dirt and every doll I've had since then has never had this problem. I only wash with soap and apply powder, no more oil. I'll take some minor peeling and velvety smooth skin over that awful layer of gunk all over my doll that makes her skin sticky as hell and look dirty any day.

The easiest way to remove that mineral oil/toxic chemical mixture/ + dirt off the skin of a TPE doll is to use.. mineral oil. Baby oil sprayed from a bottle will almost remove any surface grime (and makeup). You may be able to just rinse it with hot water afte spraying, or if not a microfiber + the oil will do it.

It's like trying to clean up motor oil with water or hand soap; not very effective. But an oil-based solvent will remove motor oil/grease from components (i.e engine degreaser).

That didn't work for me. I'm good with no oil. Just Antibacterial soap and baby powder. I'm very happy.

I think every 6 months you need a lil oil on the joints

Not at all. I think the oil thing is a myth. I've had my doll for over a year and her skin is in better condition than when I had 5 other dolls and oiled them all the time. No more oil for me, unless to remove a stain. She only has a little peeling on her left arm but honestly that was there within 3 months of getting her and probably has to do with the TPE mix. My doll's skin is clean and not sticky, which is all i want, and i achieved this with no damn oil

Are the armpits and everything okay?

Armpits are perfect. Her privates show wear but that happened regardless if I use oil or not. I put a lot of mileage on her due to my high sex drive.
