How do you move a doll?

[InterstellarMagic]

I don't have a doll, but this year I decided that I will buy it. I have seen some dollchannel videos where he explains how to move or fold the doll. He did a lot of maneuvers, too many in my opinion. I wonder how I should keep the doll in everyday life.
Do I keep her in a bed lying down? Or better to keep it upright?
If I want to move it from a room, how do I take it? From the hips?
I know that you have to keep it straight and not bent. Only when used then can it assume different positions.

P.S.: I will use the doll for sex, about once a week. But otherwise I would like to keep it as a pleasant company, like a luxury statue that decorates the house.

Hi,

Standing is the best option, assuming she has standing feet. Leg's about shoulder with apart. At a wall or corner until you become accustomed to the hobby n learn posing etc. When standing all my ladies I always have something between her skin and the piece she's touching. Unless I'm doing photoshots of course, but that's an entirely different subject.

Laying flat on the bed, you'll want to turn her otherwise she'll develop a flat ass.

Moving room to room, Legs up, bend her knees. 1 arm at both knees, other arm on her back just under her shoulders. For a heavy doll, arms around the waste, use your knees not your back. Very carefully move her.

Of course there are helpful moving devises, like wheelchairs, computer chairs and so forth.

Hope this helps.

If you have extra cash on the side, Coeros offers a stand like this. I don't have it though, but I'm planning to get this or something similar when my doll arrives.

I find it easiest to keep them standing. Since my dolls are all my height or taller I bend my knees a little, give them a tight hug, and stand. Moving from point A to B is pretty simple. I also have pieces of white memory foam that I put between their contact points and whatever they are leaning on to protect them. Once the dolls are on the bed they are easier to bend and move around, but each morning I set them back up as features posing in my room. To move them to another room I prefer the wheelchair.

I've found it easiest to keep her standing
When she needs to move, I give her a hug ,cup her butt and lift .
Keep her arms close to her sides to prevent snagging things .

Same method here! (It's nice... she sticks her boobs against you and you have hands full of her butt! And a couple of kisses on the way!)
Cheers!

Useful info. I ordered a doll with standing feet and intend to have her as pleasant company around me when not shagging her. I also intend to use her as an artist's subject for figure work so she may be stood around posed a lot.

Most definitely!
Sometimes I even put her arms around me ,just for alittle more secure handling.

My TPE lass stands (she has the standing foot bolt option) nearly 24/7. As for moving her, she's relatively short, so it's easy for me to just, squat slightly. slip my hands under her arms and just stand up. Also helps she's just 50lbs.

Carry: Moving room to room, Legs up, bend her knees. 1 arm at both knees, other arm on her back just under her shoulders.
Usually she sits on a chair, often with high heels - impossible when standing, especially for TPE. The bolts will damage the floor.

Ok thank you.
I think I put socks on her, so she doesn't ruin her feet. And I'll use your method to move it, legs up and knees bent and then I lift it up and put it in a wheelchair and move it.

Just use white socks, or she'll end up with black feet (dark clothes are dangerous, because there is always a risk to transfer the color pigments to the doll - the longer the wear duration the bigger).

Sex doll storage problem
1. The best storage method - laying or hanging
1.1 Hanging:
Hanging is a very good way to store dolls, because when the doll is hung, no side of the body will be squeezed by the weight of the doll itself. If there are wardrobes and hangers with strong bearing capacity at home, you can Consider hanging the doll.

1.2 Flat laying:
There is only one key point when laying the doll, it cannot lie on a "hard plane". Whether you let the doll lie on the bed, storage case or even the floor, remember to add a soft cushion under the doll's body, (it can be a quilt, pillow, cushion, etc.) to prevent the back and buttocks of the doll from being deformed and flattened by their own weight for a long time. Especially for TPE dolls. once the body is deformed, it can never rebound again.
You can buy "slow rebound sponge", which is commonly known as "memory foam". Another convenient method is to add a pillow to the doll's waist and back of the thigh, so that the doll's buttocks can be supported.

2. The storage method that must not be used - standing or sitting

2.1 Standing:
In fact, most dolls "cannot stand". Even for relatively high-end brands, manufacturers will especially emphasize that "can only stand for a short time". The standing function is actually designed to meet the needs of taking pictures and posing, not to solve the problem of storage. In addition, tpe dolls are very soft, if there is no standing function, it is very easy to cause the soles of the feet to tear when the doll stands, so I suggest that it is best not to even try "short standing".

2.2 Sitting posture:
Letting the doll sit on the sofa for a long time is also a very wrong storage method. Because when the doll maintains a sitting position for a long time, her hips will crack due to the long-term compression of the weight. If you keep the doll in a sitting position, please limit it to 1-2 days. After sitting for 1-2 days, please return to the lying or hanging state to ensure that the doll’s body does not receive any pressure.

Dustproof problem
No matter which storage method is used, the dust-proof work must be done well. The cloth or quilt that will never fade in normal times, and the blanket covering the doll can reduce the chance of the doll’s body adhering to hair and dust. During regular maintenance and cleaning It will also be relatively easy.

I would STRONGLY CAUTION an owner who plans to use hanging as a long term storage method for their doll.

Most dolls are designed to stand, that is the load goes from feet to legs to hips, etc.
Their skeleton goes from thick at the legs to much finer at the neck connector.
Plus necks and connectors are not designed for the long term static load of hanging, or the dynamic load that is applied when you hang them up.
There are some exceptions, such as seamless neck dolls with a permanently attached head and built in head hanging connector.

The common image users see of sex dolls hanging on racks at a manufacturer are just that, they are in production before shipping to the customer.
They are hanging as the go from one step to another and not as long term storage.

If you plan on hanging your doll for long term storage, then contact the doll manufacturer (not the seller or vendor) to confirm it is OK for that specific doll.
A seller or vendor dealing with many dolls may not know the exact details of your dolls skeleton, or just say anything to make you happy.
The best information typically comes from the folks who actually built your dolls skeleton before it went into the mold to make your doll.

Just my two cents.
Cheers!

My TPE doll has lain on her back on a 2" memory foam mattress topper for 7 1/2 years without getting a flat bum. She has worn one mattress topper out tho'.
