Warming

Some owners warm the doll before use for comfort. Safe ways are gentle: warm towels or a purpose-made, safety-tested product. Never use a microwave, hair dryer or direct heat, which can burn skin and damage material. See warming systems and risks.

Space and surfaces

Choose a private, stable surface and lay towels. Avoid dark fabrics that stain (dye transfer, fabrics).

Handling and positioning

Plan how you will lift and position the doll to avoid strain; see lifting and poses and handling.

Afterwards

Clean promptly: internal cleaning, drying and powder. Full overview: how to use a doll.
