Lubrication is a key maintenance aspect for joints in many real-feel sex dolls, supporting smooth movement and prolonging the life of moving parts. Start by checking the manufacturer’s guidelines for approved lubricants; some joints tolerate silicone-based products, while others require water-based solutions. Using an incompatible lubricant can degrade materials or cause buildup that hampers flexibility.
Apply lubricant sparingly to pivot points and joints that experience friction during posing. A light, even coat is usually sufficient, and excess product should be wiped away to avoid attracting dust. Regular lubrication—graded by use frequency and climate conditions—helps prevent stiffness and cracking that could compromise range of motion.
Seasonal adjustments may be necessary. In very dry climates, joints can stiffen, while humidity and heat might affect the performance of lubricants. Reassess lubrication needs after significant changes in storage conditions or after extensive posing sessions. If joints begin to squeak or feel gritty, a careful reapplication can restore smooth motion. Routine care protects both the doll’s realism and its functional longevity.
