@Little Miss Just wondering if you ever bought one? I recommend that you try one if you get to have any privacy. It's a lot of work to try and hide things like this. But I fully understand how you feel. I guess it really depends on your family (how both curious and understanding each member is). A nosey mother, curious younger sibling...these all are questions you have to look at. If you have a tight family, I think they'll be more understanding than you think. If you have a family that is devious and looks to use stuff against you for whatever reason, you might reconsider. Dolls are what you make of them. I'm sure there are 'perverts' out there who use them. But even they possibly use them as a sort of therapy. And then there are the vast majority who just use them for either comfort, therapy themselves (be it physical or mental) or simply used as a bit of fun. It is important not to get too wrapped up in the fantasy. That the dolls are still just...dolls. Fine to use them in fantasy (that's what they are afterall). No shame should be felt for what you generally want. That's no different for masturbation or sex. As long as it's not crushing your life, you should be good to go.

@Practice Dummy Not really my place to answer this, however... You might try the chat feature first (or email). I don't think the owner of Mistress Love Dolls comes by here very much anymore (or at least, I think I read that). I would also venture a guess (like all places going out of business), what is 'out on the floor' (or in this case, what's available on the website), is what is available. But again, that really isn't my place, as I don't work there. Just a buyer.

@Rhinoman I don't blame you. I bought a Isabella and it was in kinda sad shape. Fingers had the wire poking thru a little. The legs were almost unbendable (had to thrust my whole weight into pushing them up). I too couldn't resist the price (and even with the problems, it was well worth it...I mean, $180 for a full-sized doll?) One other problem I had was the mouth I think was supposed to be 8" inches deep. On mine, the lips barely open. Does anyone know if there should be a deeper "throat/mouth"?

Wow, got the whole family now. lol Did you just get all three? Were any damaged?

@ArtiSan09 I personally try and wash up as soon as I can. If you let things dry before cleaning up, you might run the risk of getting an infection if you don't cleanup well enough when you do. Far be it for me to say contrary to @rk105rider (he's been doing this far longer and more involved than me), nor do I have a medical license. This is just a hunch, as I have read about several people complain about getting infections and then blaming the doll sellers (I am not one btw). I figured that they either didn't cleanup well enough, fast enough and/or both and it led to problems, possibly even mold growing inside. (gross, I know.) Just being cautious I guess. I first rinse using the cleaning bottle. Then use a specific sex toy cleaning solution (basically spray a couple shots and then finger/swab the orifice. Then rinse well again. Finally I use a shop rag/towel (or Bounty towels work really well too as long as you use the full sheet kind. You don't want to go cheap on the paper towel otherwise it won't suck up enough of the moisture and/or could break while pulling it out). I roll it up fairly tightly from corner to corner (diagonally) and stick it in. A lot cheaper than tampons. Also more environmentally friendly and less chance of tearing the vagina or butt I imagine. Just make sure to let her lay for awhile (not resetting her legs to the default position), so moisture isn't trapped in one of the ridges inside. Not super necessary, again just precautionary. It is necessary not to forget about the paper towel though. Six hours, overnight all good. Days on end, probably might start causing mold.

Wouldn't coconut oil be a bit acidic for the tpe?

I'm curious, on the order page, it says Emma has a wire skeleton. So is the whole body skeleton wire or is a steel main body with wire arms/legs?

@MrGlass That is the medium chest you pictured on Emma, correct?

wow

I'm new here too, but @Newbie101 , my first thought to your parameters might be a gun locker (in irony...make love not war. lol). However, that might be overkill. I'm not into guns myself, but they could be long enough and wide enough, while being secure/lockable. I'm not sure I have ever seen a normal tote that is long enough for any of the dolls (even the smaller Emma doll).

Thank you for spreading the knowledge. And I would think it'd be a good idea to wash the spot after the stain is gone...right? (There might be someone who might not think about that and depending on where it'd be on the doll, rub their face there down the line. Common sense would typically rule there, but... ;) ).
