Important warning about care & feeding of TPE

Post by Dollstudio »

Hi,

in the past months it became some kind of common knowledge that TPE can be maintained with mineral oil products like vaseline, Nivea creme, white oil and certain baby oils.

New findings indicate that this might not be entirely true.

As you all know, TPE is a material group, not a specific substance. The TPE blends used in dolls are different from manufacturer to manufacturer, and they change over time.

In this sense the scope of the TPE care & feeding recommendations needs to be narrowed down to a defined TPE blend and a certain moment in time.

So please keep in mind:
  • Certain TPE blends can be maintained with certain mineral oil products. Applying these oleaginous products is beneficial to these TPE blends.
  • Applying the same mineral oil products to silicone might generally be harmful for the silicone. Applying these oleaginous products might be detrimental to silicone.
  • Applying the same mineral oil products certain TPE blends might be harmful for these TPE blends. Applying these oleaginous products might be detrimental to certain TPE blends.
Please watch this thread for further information.

the fuck? first mineral oil is great, now it's not? So should I stop oiling my WM dolls? I don't do it once a month luckily, more like once in 3-4 months

Sounds like the FDA! This year eggs are bad for you, next year they're great; last year don't drink alcohol, this year drink red wine for your heart! I guess dolls have to put up with the same vagaries of doctrine that we humans do!

I Have stopped regular oiling because it started to make my doll perpetually tacky.
This is very interesting...

To make a post like this , you are bound to have some evidence :evidence: , so why not post it :?
Without the evidence , this post looks like a sneaky ploy to attract attention to your advertising IMHO
But I am just a doll , and I'm blonde , so what do I know :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :?

I had my plastic bed sheets and baby oil ready so when my first doll arrived we could slip and slide. I was really looking forward to this bedroom sport and you just had to ruin it with this bad news...NOT COOL!

hey don't knock oiley sex til you try it.

Still, would like an update on this topic. oil was supposed to be the best thing ever for dolls, so was that fake news, or is this?

FP, are your dolls WM,YL, OR? I have two WMs and a YL and they are not tacky after oiling. Did you put enough powder on right afterwards? are you maybe doing the oiling too often? :? I wonder why it varies..

Going by what I've gathered, I assume the oil treatment reports target Jinshan OEM dolls: YL, OR, WM and some others. Considering the dynamics of TPE technology, I figure the treatment could well be good for a specific generation, or generations, but not all. Of course, there are other factors.

I'm confident Doll Studio will report specifics. Get the pen and paper handy.

Yeah I figured the original stuff about oil was for Jinsan. So are you saying that the other TPE mfgs out there, like DH168 and 6YE use different TPE and it hasn't been tested long term with the oil? Or saying that these other brands are harmed by oil.... or are all brands harmed by oil? O_o

If the TPE care advice for separate manufacturers should be kept separate, then there should be separate threads for TPE care advice for separate manufacturers.

The manufacturer's forum seems like the most logical place to host a thread about manufacturer-specific TPE care advice.

While I'm very attracted to many of the TPE dolls currently available, this is why I'm staying with silicone:
Low maintenance
Easy repair
Long lasting
No oiling necessary
Hopefully one day soon they will come up with a TPE formula that is as easy as silicone to maintain. When they do, then I'm all in.
The first five days after the weekend are always the hardest.

Hi,

Obin's post is spot-on. With a generic recommendation about mineral oil products for TPE, we might currently run into the same trap that hunts us for years: Dated care recommendations that used to be valid for silicone dolls (e.g. water-based lube) were just copied over and over again by TPE manufacturers. When TPE dolls emerged, nobody bothered to check these recommendations again systematically, first leading to wrong usage instructions (e.g. dishwashing liquid for TPE dolls) and later to not giving away any usage instructions at all anymore.

The situation we are facing for a while is that "TPE doll" is no longer synonymous with Jinshan, and even Jinshan has five or six different TPE blends ("generations"). For some time we have dozends of (more or less) independent factories, all manufacturing some kind of TPE doll, some with TPE blends inherited from older recipies, others are more or less 'homebrewed' distinct developments with unclear heritage. At the moment we are entering a stage where Jinshan's competitors start to roll out their 2nd generation of TPE blends which migh or might not behave different than the first generation.

Generally, the TPE care recommendations with mineral oil products are still valid for Jinshan dolls. That should include all authentic dolls from the brands WM Doll, WM Dolls, OR Doll, and YL Doll that are currently shipped.

However, the TPE care recommendations with mineral oil products should not be adapted to other factories/brands without prior testing!

Independent factories/brands are, among others: Doll House 168 and Irontech (same factory, both have two different TPE blends now), Doll Forever, JY/Aiersha/Shenzhen Bride, Climax Doll, 6Ye, Rifrano, Maiden Doll, Jarliet, Joytop, Jellynew, YH/Victoria Sex Doll and so on. On top of that there are numerous OEM/ODM dolls where basically nobody knows where they come from.

For most of these brands we do not even have material samples to run tests, so be extra careful!

The DH168 TPE blend is relatively close to the Jinshan TPE blend, and we still consider mineral oil care to be safe for the blend before the "EVO" upgrades. With the "EVO" blend, no tests have been performed so far. The same applies to Irontech - the old blend ("traditional") should be safe, no idea about the updated blend. YH also has two blends, labeled as "TPE materials" and "new materials". No material samples from 6Ye. With Climax I'm currently in talks - maybe we learn more about their TPE blend soon. For most other brand there simply is no data.

Indigo will chime in soon with further details.

SynthetikReality95,
I gather until tests are done the protocol might be risky for all except Jinsan unless there are reports already of this damaging dolls. I guess we will need to see the new findings.

This gets more confusing all the time! :? But it makes me wonder about something................
I have had my YL lady for three years now. And despite my laziness with her maintenance, she was in perfect condition other than some damage to her feet from shipping.
But then I start applying Vaseline to her vaginal chamber and it ends up splitting almost to the anal opening! 8O
I don't know if the Vaseline had anything to do with this, but it seems like more than a coincidence :?

Perhaps the best thing to do instead of using Vaseline and mineral oil to replenish a TPE doll's natural oils, is to simply keep her powdered to help her to avoid losing her oils in the first place. :idea:
No matter how pretty she is, there is a guy out there somewhere who is tired of her shit!

Girlfriends are for guys who haven't found the right doll yet.

I feel much better now that I've given up hope.
