Upon purchasing a silicone or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) sex doll, you may notice the uncanny similarity between her skin texture and that of human skin. Have you ever wondered what the ideal temperature for maintaining a silicone and TPE sex doll was? Experts suggest treating silicone and TPE sex doll skin as you would human skin, as it has a limited tolerance for extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold. Despite this recommendation, there exists no clear temperature range for this chemical and polymer material, nor has research provided any evidence for a clear temperature range.

However, research has indicated that washing silicone and TPE sex dolls with water exceeding 40°C should be avoided, as warm or hot water can destabilize your doll’s silicone and TPE material and cause her to melt. These circumstances resemble those affecting human skin when exposed to prolonged extreme temperatures, resulting in her skin becoming fragile, peeling, and ultimately burning. Although silicone and TPE are pliable materials that can stretch up to 5-10 times their lengths, damage to her internal stability cannot be reversed, though it’s important to note that silicone can withstand higher temperatures than TPE without compromising its physical structure. TPE material sex dolls cannot be treated like silicone sex dolls, because their composition is different. Sex doll experts suggest that TPE sex dolls should be treated as you would human skin. In this article we will take a closer look at TPE sex dolls, but keep in mind the below could apply to silicone sex dolls too.

While high temperatures pose a significant threat to the physical structure of TPE material used in TPE sex dolls, the impact of low temperatures should also be taken into consideration. Just like human skin, the TPE skin of your sex doll can become stiff in cold environments, and its overall "sense of pliability" may be diminished. When placed in a very cold room, your love doll may become rigid and feel more like plastic than lifelike skin. However, unlike high temperatures, which can irreversibly damage the physical structure of TPE material, low temperatures are different in that they merely suppress your doll's flexibility. The effect of a low temperature on TPE material may not be as serious as that of a high temperature. When stored at the correct temperature, your doll in more cases than not will gradually regain her original pliability and return to her natural state.

While high temperatures pose a significant risk to the structural integrity of TPE or silicone material used in realistic TPE sex dolls, the impact of cold temperatures cannot be ignored. Exposure to low temperatures can lead to various consequences that can affect your doll's texture, appearance, and durability. The following are some possible consequences of exposing your love doll to extremely cold temperatures:

When it comes to storing your TPE sex dolls, it's important to understand that dolls made of TPE cannot be treated like silicone sex dolls due to the differences in their constituent components. To prevent the potential consequences of exposure to extreme temperatures, it's crucial to store TPE love dolls in a temperature-controlled environment, away from direct sunlight or other sources of heat. This will help maintain your doll's structural integrity and prevent issues such as deformation, discoloration, and loss of durability.

It is generally believed that the storage temperature range can be maintained between -40°C and 140°C, but there is no evidence or research that this is the correct range. WM Doll and ZELEX Doll suggest the correct storage temperature range for storing TPE sex dolls actually sits between 5°C and 28°C. 

It's also essential to allow your love doll to warm up to room temperature prior to use to avoid any potential stress on the material. This will help ensure that the doll maintains its lifelike texture and appearance during use.

To get the most accurate and reliable information about the storage and care of your love doll, it's recommended to follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer at the time of purchase. Generally, the difference between low temperature damages and high temperature damages is that high temperature damages will more likely destroy the physical structure of TPE sex dolls, while low temperatures suppress. Therefore, it's crucial to avoid using hot water with your sex doll.
