Winter in Finland brings humidity, temperature swings, and shorter days, all of which can affect the condition of a sex doll. Proper storage becomes essential to preserve texture, joints, and overall longevity. Start with a thorough clean and a complete dry-down. Use mild soap and warm water to remove dust, oils, and any residue, then pat dry and allow the surface to air-dry fully before packing. Avoid harsh solvents that can degrade silicone or other materials. After cleaning, store the doll in a breathable cover or cloth wrap rather than airtight plastic to prevent moisture buildup and mildew.
Create a stable storage environment. Aim for a cool, dry room with steady temperatures, ideally between 16-22°C, and moderate humidity. Avoid placing the doll near heaters, radiators, or in direct sunlight, as heat and UV exposure can cause material fatigue over time. Silica gel packs or other desiccants can help manage moisture inside storage containers; replace or recharge them according to the product instructions. Position the doll to minimize stress on joints—either supported upright or in a padded container that prevents creasing.
Keep the storage area clean and out of reach of pets and children. If you anticipate extended storage, rotate the doll’s position every few weeks to avoid fixed pressure points. Before long-term storage, consider removing removable components or batteries, if possible, to reduce corrosion risk. Finally, label storage boxes with date of cleaning and next maintenance checks to stay on track through the winter season.
