Virgin doll buyer

Hellooo all, I recently purchased irontech 153cm miyin and I'm super stoked. I do own 2 dolls but they're counterfeit dolls, so my first doll purchase experience was crap, but I purchased from a well known vendor that's known on TDF. I purchased her from siliconelovers.com and I've read nothing but good things about them, so I hope this is a real irontech brand doll. I spent just over $2000. She looks beautiful in the photoshoots. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated and any extra information on silicone lovers or how long of a wait should I expect before I receive her, thanks guys.... happy doll days

Make sure to have the following on hand BEFORE her arrival:
Mineral Oil / Baby Oil
Cornstarch / Cornstarch infused Baby Powder
Powder Brush
Neutral colored microfiber washcloths and bath towels
or an ultra soft bath sponge
Antibacterial hand soap
Bucket, or spritz bottle (sponge baths)
Waterproof sheet or shower curtain liner (if you do sponge baths)
If you want to put her directly into the shower, get a shower chair and a non-slip shower mat.
Back brace and knee brace (you gonna need it lifting her)
Tangle Teezer, or wire comb/loop bristle wig brush

Hope this helps!

I also purchased the hanging suspension kit so I could store her in an upright position because I was thinking about keeping her posture intact. Is the flight case worth buying? And how does the double jointed knees work on a doll? I purchased the extra double jointed add on but I'm not sure entirely how the doll will operate with double jointed knees.

Thank you @gogo dolls for the warming welcome. Definitely glad to finally be here. This is my first purchase and I'm really hoping she turns out perfect. I ordered 153cm irontech miyin customized from head to toe on November 14th, 2022. I ordered from siliconelovers which is based out of U.K. and I live in georgia in the United States. Have you guys ordered dolls around this time of year and if so.... were you able to receive her before Christmas. What would be the odds? I'm super excited and any estimated guess would be great!
