Got her out of them immediately and used a DIY toothpaste stain technique. It's not as good as Indigo20's stain remover, but it does lighten the stain some, followed it up with baby oil around the stain, and let her rest. Needless to say, she won't be wearing that pair of panties again. Which is a shame, I loved how the black showed up under her skirt in a few of the shots I got.

Anyway, I've used this technique on a test piece that got pretty badly stained from fabric testing and I can't even see the stains on it anymore. I have faith that Maaya's stains will fade eventually. Also, after this incident, I ordered Indigo20's stain removal cream to have on hand in case of another accident.

Not sure if any of this helps your case, since Eve is sili and Maaya is TPE, but I hope your girl gets well soon.

Thanks kojima! If there is a next time may try toothpaste. I shoulda looked at the shirt. It felt like cotton but turned out to be 95% polyester. Polyester can be bad for dolls and shedding dye.
Did you wash the panties a few times before you put them on her? All clothes should be washed a few times before going on doll ladies. Cotton items are usually low worry but polyester and some others are high worry.
If you like those panties, soak em in skalding hot water for a bit and see how much dye comes out. Repeat process till you get no dye in the water.

I'm not sure if alcohol is right for silicone, surely baby oil (mineral oil) is said to be harmful.

Check which curing method is ment form TPE, and which for silicone - don't rush.

5 days? Nice.
I was trying to get rid of it faster and failed. It was worth a shot though. The baby oil was a desperate measure. It wasn't on her long and it did take the stain down some. I washed the baby oil off quickly with rubbing alcohol. Alcohol is ok for silicone, just not as a regular cleaning method. Only for deep cleaning and not often.

I know baby oil is bad, so I won't use it again since it didn't remove it completely. I was just desperate and freaked out. Had her almost 2 years and this is the first time this happened.

Hope it does go away in 5 days. Thank you for telling me that. Always good to hear from someone who has the same doll lady. Do you know how long you had that shirt on her for? I had the offending garment on Eve for a couple weeks off and on, it was sleep gear. Wish I had noticed sooner.

Wight wrote:Like you said, the stain could be magnified in your own view like a scald. My SH 145 stains were in high pressure areas, and then I did put her laying on her stomach, nude, to ventilate the skin. (As an a-cupper she occasionally sleeps like that with soft pillows)
Eve is a well-maintained girl and looks good as new!
