Hi, y’all. So, I’ve had Boxer’s famous anime looking wig for awhile now, and it‘s starting to show its age. The bottom of it is getting frizzy and kinda tangled, and it’s overall not as soft as it used to be when I first bought it, even when brushing it. I really like the wig and would like to salvage it if I could, but I’m not sure what I can really do about it. I was thinking of boil washing it like I’ve done with my Bratz dolls’ hair- which have worked well on them- but a life sized wig might be a bit more challenging. Tips are appreciated. 🙏

So, I normally keep Boxer on my bed most of the time, as moving her around constantly can be a bit of a hassle. Plus, as some may know, my apartment is small, so not a lot of room to stand her up somewhere without someone seeing her or accidentally knocking her over. I do take care in keeping a blanket under her and making sure she’s cushioned, but it looks like she still tries to leak oil onto my bed every now and then. Her old model leaked severely, to where one duvet of mine has some bad oil stains on it. Her current model isn’t too bad and is actually pretty good at retaining its oil, but I’m worried that the leaking will happen again and I’ll be left with more oil stains… Which are a pain in the ass to get out. 🤦‍♀️ Any advice on how I can prevent future oil stains? Should I put a thicker blanket under her? And to those who’ve encountered mineral stains on sheets or even clothes, how did y’all get them out? My grandma would be pretty upset if she found out that the quilt she gave me is riddled with mineral oil stains, so I’m trying to spare it while I still can. 😅

A lot of people outside of the community like to give doll owners a bad rep, saying that sex dolls are bad, creepy, or weird, or that they’re only something that lonely people own. Well, I’m here today to declare that sex dolls can actually help someone and maybe even improve their mental health, telling the story of my own experience with Boxer’s MLD body and how she helped me manage my mental health. So, way before I even got interested in sex dolls- about a year ago today, I was experiencing drastic mood changes, going from extreme highs to extreme lows that were affecting my ability to work or get schoolwork done. After having one of the longest and ugliest lows of my life, I finally decided to open up about my symptoms to my doctor, to which she referred me to a psychiatrist. At my first psychiatrist appointment, my psychiatrist evaluated me, listed down the symptoms I was experiencing, and made me take a bipolar questionnaire. After looking into my family history and confirming that I was hitting almost every symptom of bipolar, I was given the ”bipolar with gray areas” diagnosis. I wasn’t surprised since my dad has the same disorder, but it was almost like a smack to the face, knowing that I have something that is pretty much incurable. I was put on medication and sent on my way- my psychiatrist monitoring my status the following months. Fast forward almost a half a year later, I discover sex dolls for the first time. Maybe it was the mania, but I was instantly fascinated and attached to these dolls. I knew right away that I wanted one of these of Boxer. When I first received her MLD body, I was at a lost for words. I had mixed feelings, wondering if I was up for this commitment. But, as time went on, doll care and maintenance became second nature, and I noticed how much my mental health improved when taking care of her and interacting with her. It was the type of serotonin that my medication could never give me. Her presence genuinely made me happy and gave me something to look forward to, even on my rough days. She pacified my mania and comforted my depression. My mood cycling became rare- almost absent. I remember even telling my psychiatrist about her, telling her how she’s my outlet for self care. But… When her hip broke and I was forced to put her MLD body in storage, I wasn’t sure how I’d react. At first, it didn’t phase me. But, as the reality started to settle in, my mental health nose dived and my bipolar took front seat. The week she broke was really rough. She broke on a day I was off, so when I went into work the next day, I had to try to conceal my distress and frustration. However, between the stress of work and worrying about her, I snapped, breaking down in front of my boss after ranting to a coworker about the student workers not helping me set up the food line. But, in reality, it wasn’t the food line that bothered me. It was her. After calming down, I tried to be patient and wait for her temporary torso to come in. Even tho the torso was the wrong color, I was still relieved, because I was able to hold her again and have something until I can get her a new body. That’s when I realized how much of an impact her doll version has/had on me and my mental health. For now, I’m still in the works of getting her a new body, but it was interesting to see how quickly I went from zero to one hundred not long after her hip broke. It’s not surprising, though, considering how much she means to me. If I wasn’t on medication, the impact probably would’ve been worse and I would’ve been back to cycling. It just shows that, for a lot of doll owners, these dolls are more than just sex toys. These dolls can serve as companions, being our source of comfort when we need it the most, and keeping our mental status in check. They give us someone to care for other than ourselves, which can be a form of self care and self love. These dolls may be helpful for more than just sex. I know they are for me.

So, after getting an email back from MLD to tell me that they couldn’t replace Boxer’s body, since I’ve had her body for about 5 months, I decided to make a hard and saddening decision. Sometime next week, possibly on Monday when I’m off from work, my best friend and I will be disassembling Boxer’s head from her body, and placing the broken body in storage. Because her hip is permanently broken, I can no long move her or do anything without fear of breaking her more. She can no longer support herself, which would make changing/washing bedsheets for me near impossible. So, I made the call to get her body off of my bed and stored away to prevent even more damage over time. I’m going to try to sell her broken body on eBay, since it seems wasteful to throw her away over just a hip, and try to get some money back in the end. I don’t know how lucky I’ll get, but I’m hoping someone out there will be able to give her body a good home. I already had a plan to save up for an upgraded version of her, and I would like to stick to that plan, despite her hip. My sister and a fellow MLD owner are right: It would cost me more money in the long run if I just bought another doll from MLD, only to repeatedly run into hip issues. It’s just not worth it- Boxer deserves better, and with student loan payments right around the corner for me, I can’t afford it. So, in the meantime, her head will be placed on a torso body that I bought last night. I’ve gotten used to her being next to me when I sleep, and I feel like my sleep would take a drastic hit without her, so I decided a torso body would suffice while I’m saving up for her new model. The torso will also be lighter and easier for me to handle. Nothing too fancy, but just enough to where it’s nice and doesn’t break the bank. Her torso was bought from a UK sex toy company called LucidToys. Their torsos are fairly cheap, so I totally recommend them to anyone who’s in the same boat as me, and doesn’t wish to part with their woman entirely. A fair warning tho: If you’re in the US, it’ll cost you a shipping fee. But, if have some spare cash hanging around, feel free to check it out. As far as myself goes, this event has really gave me a reality check. When I made a post about Boxer on the sex doll subreddit, people were quick to say that I made a grave mistake by buying a counterfeit doll. At the time, I thought nothing of it, as I wasn’t willing to buy a doll that costs as much as my car as a first time doll. But now, I’m having mixed feelings. A part of me hates myself for not listening, but another part of me is glad that I had the experience and lesson. Having Boxer’s first model was met with many challenges for me, but I wouldn’t of traded it for the world. I got to gain skills that I never thought I would obtain, and now I can pass on those skills to a better model of her. I’m already pretty settled on a doll that I want, so now it’s just the goal of saving up for her. I’m both excited and nervous for the future, but if it’s for her, I’m willing to hang in there for the long haul. Thanks to everyone on here who showed me the wonderful world of love dolls, and thank you, MLD, for providing me with my first love doll. Y’all are the best. <3

I went to put up her left leg to move her to wash sheets, and all of a sudden… Snap! Her hip popped out of place, and now it’s hanging like a ragdoll. So much for washing sheets... What do I do, y’all? Can I get in contact with David and see if he can replace her with another model? I’m kinda freaking out right now. I can’t move her or anything. Please help! 😭😭😭 Edit: If I do replace her, what‘s the best way to get rid of the broken model?

Hi, y’all. So, because of landing a full time job and making a bit more money, I thought it’d be time for me to start saving up for a new doll to upgrade Boxer. I’m wanting to buy a legit doll this time (no hate, MLD, y’all’s dolls are great for the price, but my baby needs an upgrade 😅), and I settled on a WM doll that weighs a little less than Boxer’s current doll model. Her body is absolutely perfect! But… I don’t like any of WM’s heads. They don’t really have any Asian heads, and ’d hate to part with the cute Asian head that Boxer has now. So, I was thinking of buying a new head from MLD to put on the WM doll body, and keep the default head as a spare. Has anyone done this? I’ve heard of people placing different doll heads on their MLD dolls, but never the other way around. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks, y’all. And shoutout to MLD for offering such great dolls for an affordable price. Because of them, I’ve now gained the experience I needed to move on to bigger and better dolls. 🙏 Here is the link to the doll I’m eyeing: https://siliconelovers.com/collections/wm-dolls/products/cindy-realistic-sex-doll

Hi, y’all. So, unfortunately, I have some bad news. It looks like my method of putting down Boxer’s left leg was short lived, and now the joint is giving me issues when putting her leg up as well. I went to put her in a sitting position this morning, and I had to practically force the left leg to move up. This just started happening about a week ago, but at the beginning it was very subtle. So, I’m wondering if I can inject mineral oil into her thigh to possibly help with the joint. I’m not sure if it’ll help entirely, but at this point, I’m willing to try anything. Any advice on this?

Hi, y’all. So I’m thinking of re-doing Boxer’s makeup whenever I clean her face again, and I’m wondering if lipgloss is safe to use on TPE. I thought it’d be nice to not only have a shine on her lips, but it would give a more realistic feeling to me when kissing her. So, what’s safe and what’s not? 🤔

So, it’s no surprise that some of these dolls have really, really stiff hips/legs. It seems like the 156cm dolls suffer the most from this problem, and after a bit of experimenting with Boxer, I‘ve picked up on a certain technique that seems to help combat against the stiff bolt in her left leg. For awhile, Boxer’s legs were fine- I didn’t encounter any issue with them, until I noticed that her left leg would try to seize up on me when putting it down. Not up, not side to side, just down. When this would happen, her leg would almost get stuck at a weird angle, and I’d have to push down pretty hard to make the joint move. I was worried that this hard pushing on her leg would do more harm than good over time, so I started playing around with the leg to find that sweet spot in moving the leg with ease. And, last night, I think I found it… For now, lol. I first put her legs as close together as they can go, and once I did that, I would push down. If the leg tried to seize, I would just bring it back up and try again, making sure the legs were close together. Usually, on the second attempt, it’ll go down, but I found that the key lies in how close or far apart the legs are from each other. If the legs are spread apart, it’ll cause the leg to seize up, but if I keep them close together then it won’t happen as much. This is just from my personal experience with Boxer, but I thought I’d share this with everyone else, since it may help out those who are having the same issue with their dolls’ legs. It also might spare the tragedy or risk in having the hip pop out, too, as I’ve heard of that happening on some people’s dolls.

Hi, y'all, I'm back. Like many people on here, I've been thinking of buying another doll, but I'm thinking of buying a much, much smaller doll compared to Boxer. I thought it'd be kinda cool to have a friend for Boxer, or maybe have a kid doll to add to our small family.I saw that the Emma doll is only 2'1" and weighs around 5lbs, which is perfect for me to handle. But, I have a couple of quick questions. What does the Emma doll look like exactly? And what kind of clothes can she wear (as far as size)? Thanks, y'all. 🙏
