Re: New to me method of drying…….
so would the foaming agent dry faster or is it just for better sanitation?siliconelover wrote:I can't imagine that the inflator alone wouldn't ??? Do you have a TPE doll, is the cannel on those dolls really tight ? IDK my dolls are silicone and life size. Maybe you need to blow out the area a few times over the course of a half hour or so ... I think using a good foaming toy wash could also be to your advantage.
the new Coleman pump works for the whole canal, but it takes twenty minutes per hole. It's also a bit hard to insert the pump without it falling out. I am assuming that TPE takes longer than silicone based on your statement.

20 minutes per hole sounds about right.
And that is great time wise considering the alternatives take an hour or more per hole.

That may very well work, as long as the hose will fit in her snizz and cornhole.
Let us know how it goes.......

Re: New to me method of drying…….
I always store the pump in the box it came in. I put it back in there as soon as I am done with it. Then, I stick the box in a drawer until the next time.Bauta wrote:It's a good idea, but keep in mind that if the indoor fans are not clean you will be expelling lots of mites inside the doll. I would recommend that even if you already have one at home, buy a new one and keep it immediately after each use so that no dust gets inside, just like a fan is stored when it is not used in summer.

Re: New to me method of drying…….
I was searching for a solution to drying the holes, other than just using a qtip. That was my first idea, and not a very good one.
Off to walmart.
Re: New to me method of drying…….
It IS effective, though.
$16 at Walmart for this Intex brand mattress inflator, plus a small length of tubing I had on hand, and then a small length of the insulation from a frayed old extension cord. (cleaned thoroughly, of course)
I wanted to ensure that air was indeed reaching the deepest recesses of the cavities being dried, and this does the job nicely.
Insert the extension cord portion in with the pump connected until you reach the bottom of the cavity, then back off about an inch.
Let the inflator run for 20ish minutes and voila.
