Proper storage is essential to preserve the condition of any sex doll. Mold thrives in damp, poorly ventilated spaces, so start by controlling moisture and temperature. Choose storage spots with low humidity and steady temperatures, away from direct heat sources and sunlight. Before storing, clean each doll thoroughly according to its material guidelines, ensuring no residual moisture remains in crevices.
Invest in desiccants like silica gel packs and place them in storage containers or bags to keep humidity low. Use breathable, rigid containers or lined drawers rather than sealed plastic bags, which can trap moisture. If possible, store dolls in a vertical position to improve air circulation, and periodically check for any signs of dampness, mold, or unusual odors. Rotate items to prevent prolonged pressure on any one area, and inspect seams for leaks or swelling that could indicate moisture ingress.
Consider climate control in the storage area. If you live in a humid climate, a dehumidifier or an air conditioner with a dehumidifying setting can help. Regular maintenance, including occasional washing with appropriate cleaners and thorough drying, will extend the life of the doll and protect its surface from mold-related staining or material degradation. Thoughtful storage practices reduce the risk of mold and keep dolls ready for display or use.
