Cracking and peeling are common maintenance concerns for realistic sex dolls and require proactive care. Begin with a close inspection to identify stress points along seams, joints, and facial contours. For minor cracks, a silicone- or TPE-compatible repair kit can help seal the area and prevent further spread. Follow product-specific instructions carefully and test a small area first to ensure color and texture match. After repairing, apply a protective sealant or conditioner to improve flexibility and reduce future cracking.
Prevention is essential. Store dolls away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive tools that can wear away surface coatings. Regular conditioning helps maintain pliability and stops surface from becoming brittle. If peeling occurs, patch repairs should be matched to the surrounding texture, and if the peeling is extensive, it may be worth consulting a professional restorer who can assess structural integrity and propose a restoration plan. With regular maintenance, careful handling, and timely repairs, the doll’s life and realism can be preserved for years.
