Just ordered my first doll! WM 168cm
I am so excited to give her an awesome home and for that reason I had a quick question for everyone here. I have read all about cleaning TPE dolls and how they should be Mineral Oiled once per month and use Vaseline on joints and insertion areas. My question is, should I clean her right away? Figured I would use an organic hand soap and water mix out of a spray bottle, then wipe her down with microfiber clothes. Afterwards apply Mineral Oil and let that soak in. Once that's complete I would Vaseline the insertion points and joints. Finally apply cornstarch powder to give her skin the soft feeling.
This all seems fine and dandy, but doesn't Mineral Oil remove makeup and if that's true, what do people use for the head? Also, I got tanned skin. Is that just makeup on the whole body or actually the color of the TPE?
Thanks! Here is a shot of her from their website!

I will leave this one up for others to comment on, but you should not need to oil the doll when you first get her as she will have plenty of oil carry over from manufacture.
By all means wash her down, dry her, and Vaseline the groin and armpits, and let that soak in. Then if you feel the doll feels tacky, a very light puffer of talc will do the job.
Moderation is key, do not over powder or over oil.

Re: Just ordered my first doll! WM 168cm
There has been a lot of debate here over doll care and mineral oils over the last year and whether they are good or bad for our ladies!
Firstly, the colour of the TPE chosen is throughout the blend and not skin deep. I have a black (Nava) WM168 and the only snag I have is that powder is white! I have to use a large soft makeup brush to make sure powder is worked in or she looks streaky! The lighter the colour the less this is the case!
Secondly, yes, the semi permanent makeup can be slightly removed every time you use oils but, unlike in silicone ladies, the makeup gradually fades anyway! It’s the nature of TPE! This makeup is ‘factory sealed’ using a heat gun in most manufacturers but you will find it fading over time - especially lips and lots of kissing!
Now, the important bit! Your lady will be new! She won’t need oiling! The idea of oiling is to ‘replenish’ oils that gradually evaporate from the TPE over time and keep it soft and flexible! Drying out can lead to tearing where the TPE is stretched but also TOO MUCH OIL CAN DO THIS!
My advice is to NOT do any oiling for a couple of months at least! WM have a really good TPE blend that’s stood the test of time and not many ladies have had any treatment at all apart from a good powdering with no ill effect! Some manufacturers blends are ‘stickier’ than others! Those don’t need oiling ever in my opinion. WM seems to be ‘average’ as far as I know with my limited experience, so down the line a few months it may be worth doing an oil treatment but limit it to perhaps twice or three times a year! Heads don’t need oiling much if at all but, yes, steer clear of makeup areas if you do! However, a bit of mineral oil on a cloth or kitchen towel helps get rid of any mistakes you’ve made when trying to apply your own makeup!!!
Again, my advice would be to give her a wash when she arrives to get rid of any ‘factory smells’ and powder! Then, when she’s dry, give her a really good powdering and work it in with the largest soft makeup brush you can find! That will be enough!
There has also been a debate over lube! I started to use Vaseline and it worked really well for a month or two but then I realised Ashaki’s vag lips were getting really soft and in danger of crumbling so I immediately stopped using it. I still coat the inside of the insert with it though as it makes it easier to clean and keeps the possibility of mold at bay (Vaseline is a natural inhibitor). However, I now use a waterbased lube and things have settled down down there now!
As Anung said, a bit of Vaseline on the stretchy bits won’t hurt every now and again, particularly if your lady likes to stretch her legs and arms a bit
So, in summary, just wash and powder her first. Replenish the powder as often as you like to keep her skin smooth to avoid friction. Keep an eye on what is happening as powder can also dry her out in the stretchy bits. When you give her a wash or wipe down (once a month or more?) perhaps think about just putting a bit of Vaseline around the stretchy bits (under arms, knees and crotch). If you do, let that soak in for several hours before powdering or you’ll get cheesy bits of powder there, which isn’t very pleasant (been there done that!)! If you do oil or Vaseline do it first thing in the morning and leave her spreadeagled for it to soak in till as late as you can! It takes hours and hours believe me!
One thing to remember is that here you’re not on your own! We’re all learning together so don’t panic, we’re here to help if you need it!

Hopefully that is okay! If Baby Shampoo and Baby Powder (Cornstarch) are no good, let me know!

Re: Just ordered my first doll! WM 168cm
As for ‘inside’ cleaning, I have a fold up camping toilet seat (they’re very cheap) and sit them on that in a plastic underbed storage box beside the bed. I fill a container with pretty warm water and a few squirts of antibacterial hand soap. I then use a bulb siphon and plastic tubing to squirt the mixture up inside. I let it drip dry for a while then use a cloth on a stick to dry it as much as I can. It’s important to get the cavities dry though or mold could set in even if it’s clean.
If you’ve gone for the insert version that’s easy but don’t forget, there are no inserts for the anal passage so think about how you’re going to clean her before trying!
One more thing I would say here is about moving/carrying her. You’re going to wonder what you’ve let yourself in for at first! They are not easy to move until you get used to carrying them! Lift her legs up, bend her knees and rock her on her bum a little towards her feet so you can get an arm under her lower back upper bum area. Put your arms under her thighs and you can then lift her. However, don’t do this from the floor! Getting her out of the box is the first big task! Lift one end of the box onto a chair or stool and then the other onto another chair or stool. That way you won’t be reaching down to the floor and bending your back too much! Don’t worry, your tummy muscles and core strength will soon be able to cope after a couple of weeks or so!
Always plan ahead! If you’re going to carry her somewhere then clear the way of everything, especially on the floor like shoes for instance! Have a halfway resting stool or chair! I have to carry mine downstairs and then through two long rooms to get to the bathroom (old house) and the stairs are fairly narrow and turn back on themselves too! I need a chair at the bottom of the stairs! The first time I did it I was catching her feet on everything as I hadn’t bent her knees enough so think before you move!
Cheers, Hollows.

Re: Just ordered my first doll! WM 168cm
As for your question. I've had my lady for about a month now and I am fairly surprised because I haven't noticed any leaking of oil. She has not become tacky at all, or it's not noticeable at the least. And she's pretty soft, which is great. My ladies in the past have seemed to leak oil quicker. So I assume that TPE has improved significantly in the recent year. So yes, I would second that there is no need to oil your lady when she arrives or any time in the near future.

For undergarments, 36DD bra and size small panties fit perfectly. Her measurements should be fairly consistent. It seems 36-24-36 (in inches). Clothing sizes seem to be different across outlets. So be sure to check sizing guides for clothing that stores provide.

I am not too worried about her weight as I am larger myself. (6'4" 240lbs) Any recommendations of clothing size for this doll or should I wait until I receive to take measurements?
