Or just decide that they aren't cut out for dolls at all.
I have had the same issues with maintenance as I'm a lazy bastard and find it too much work.
So my way of dealing with it has been NOT dealing with it. Meaning the poor doll hasn't been maintained as well as she could have been.
But later this week I plan on giving my doll her first oiling. Since I've had her for four years, I figure it's about time I got around to it.
Girlfriends are for guys who haven't found the right doll yet.
I feel much better now that I've given up hope.

Damn. How has she held up? I would've thought she'd be dried out like shoe leather and split the second you move her.Stewie studmuffin wrote:Yes others have indeed struggled with this. They usually end up selling the doll and getting one that's easier to manage.

She's actually held up pretty good except for a vaginal tear, but that could have been caused by using too much vaseline in her crotch area. While a LITTLE vaseline is good for the high stress areas, it can be overdone. And I think I was definitely overdoing it.Soulfires wrote: Damn. How has she held up?

Here's a picture of the damage: But despite the damage, she's in amazing shape for a doll that has never been oiled!

Re: New to dolls and want some advice
That's actually surprising. I didn't think she would hold up that good. I didn't know using too much vaseline was a bad thing. I've never overdone it but it's a good thing to know.Stewie studmuffin wrote:She's actually held up pretty good except for a vaginal tear, but that could have been caused by using too much vaseline in her crotch area.

Storage is a problem. Sending her back to her box at dawn is like living with a vampire. And although it is not gentlemanly to mention a lady's weight, my Anna is tall and heavy at 80kg. I am not a weak guy, but Anna's weight and complete disinterest in moving makes it a challenge to move her around. (Kudos to the doll lovers who take their dolls out on dates!)
Anna is currently wrapped in her original pink blanket and resting in her box. She is in perfect condition I plan to sell her in December, and am waiting that long to be certain of the decision.
Let us know how you resolve your dilemma.
Re: New to dolls and want some advice
Yeah thats also a real issue I have with mine. I'm not the strongest dude and mine extremely heavy so it makes it really difficult when I want some alone time. it's a huge ordeal to box her up. I think like you I've kind of made up my mind I just wanted to see how others have dealt with feeling the same and see if anything changes my mind.mahada wrote:I am another who is overwhelmed by the upkeep and storage of a doll. Like you, at first I enjoyed my doll, and loved shopping for wigs and clothes. Tall, thin, and regal (Queen of the Elves), she looks good in everything.
