Bonus Doll Clothing and Cleaning Accessories

By u/VAM_Moose

Hi again friends! ☺👋
I am back again with some new tips that should be helpful for everyone! Now with plenty of pictures of my lovely model Aurora! 😍

A: Cinches

Nothing is more sexier than clothes that fit right and are snug. But unless you've got sowing skills to alter the clothes to perfection, this can be difficult to deal with. Have you ever felt your doll's clothing is just a little saggy? Well part of that is because the dolls are scaled down a bit from real life, this makes finding perfect fitted clothes a little difficult.

Take for instance the below bodysuit, which is one of my favorites! The front or back of this sexy little number will a little loose and saggy depending on where you pull the extra fabric.

With Cinches, you can pull some of this excess fabric and have them snug up. They're relatively cheap, can be found easily from online stores (I found mine on Amazon) in a variety of colors, typically come in packs, and are relatively cheap! They're easy and safe to use, you don't have to worry about permanently modifying your clothes! Get a couple and you have more than enough for any given outfit! Some are even elastic or lace!

Here's another example, with a two-piece outfit. White Blouse and black tight short skirt. You can see it's a little loose from the front. Even the back doesn't look tight. With those Cinches, I applied it to the back of the shirt and skirt to really pull in the loose fabric around the waist! Look how neat and tidy Aurora looks! 😍

B: Straw Cleaning Brush

A month ago I had posted this picture of me cleaning out the Douche that comes with the Tantaly Deluxe Care Kit. It had some mold growing in there! 😲

Most people know to clean their doll, but not many people think about cleaning their cleaning tools! In comes in the Straw Cleaners. Like most things I recommend, these straw cleaners are cheap, come in bundles and varieties, can be found easily online (Mine are from Amazon). These ones are flexible and their tips are covered by a rubber cap to avoid poking. Let's see a couple ways this can be used.

I wanted to experiment using this as an alternative to the Microfiber sticks for applying soap to the tunnels. Below I poured some hand soap onto the brush.

I VERY gently put it into the tunnel, being particularly aware of the amount of pressure I am applying as to not accidentally pierce the TPE inside the tunnel

Slowly, I rolled and thrusted with it, the soap quickly became super frothy and reached all the way to the end. You can achieve this with the microfiber sticks if you are too worried to use it here, it's probably safer anyways. SERIOUSLY! BE CAREFUL HERE! TAKE YOUR TIME!

Here's the main purpose of the straw cleaning brushes, to brush out the inside o阿f the douche shaft using one of the larger brushes.

Some sticky goop can get stuck in these tiny holes at the end, so I use a smaller brush to clean across them! Very thorough!

I bent one of the larger brushes into a U-Shape and used it to apply soap to the outside of the shaft. This was a great way to scrape off otherwise annoying goop that takes a while to get off if you used a microfiber cloth while also applying soap into the grooves at the end.

C: Belts

Really? Belts? YES! You see, my dear Aurora unfortunately has loose leg joints, and trying to move her has become a challenge when she is all wet and flopping all over the place. "Gathering up" both legs is difficult enough to do on the ground. I got tired of this and thought of a rather simple solution. I used an old belt of mine to strap both legs together which holds both legs and also doubles as a sturdy grabbing point!

Once I place Aurora on a clean towel, I flip the towel to wrap both legs like a Mermaid's tail. Even if you don't have leg problems with your doll, keep reading! I then slip a belt underneath both legs and buckle it tight with a pull-through type belt. Don't worry the towels will provide a safety layer between the belt and doll!

I can now grab the belt like a duffle bag with one hand, wrap my other hand around her back and lift her up close to my chest. This makes pulling her up from the ground quite easy as I don't have to lean down making this is so much better for my back!
