Sunlight can degrade finishes on sex dolls, especially if they are made from sensitive silicone or TPE. The most important step is to store the doll in a dimensionally stable space away from any direct light. Use opaque covers, blackout curtains, or a dedicated storage cabinet with solid doors to block ambient rays. If you anticipate only occasional access, a labeled, light-blocking garment bag provides quick protection while you work on maintenance tasks.
Temperature consistency matters as much as light. Sunlight can raise surface temperatures, accelerating aging and leading to tackiness or discoloration in some finishes. Keep the storage area cool and ventilated. Avoid placing the doll near windows, heaters, or electronics that emit heat. For any surface maintenance, use silicone- or polymer-safe cleaners according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, and perform a gentle inspection for signs of heat damage periodically.
If a doll is displayed briefly, rotate it away from sun exposure after each use. Use UV-blocking films on any remaining windows in the room if you cannot relocate the storage temporarily. Regularly cleaning and conditioning the surface with appropriate products can help preserve elasticity, reduce cracking risk, and extend the doll’s aesthetic life.
