If you’ve been in the market for your next sex doll long, then you’ve probably noticed that quite a few top love doll vendors offer previously owned dolls for sale. Buying a refurbished sex doll can be a great way to save more of your hard-earned cash and make doll ownership possible, even on a tight budget.
But is it actually a good idea? Are there any downsides to buying a refurbished doll that a would-be doll owner should be aware of? And perhaps most importantly, how can you make sure you make a wise buying decision should you decide buying a previously owned doll is the right choice for you? Let’s go over everything you need to know.
How hygienic are previously owned sex dolls?
Naturally, buying a previously owned sex doll isn’t quite the same as buying a used car or a refurbished computer. Another person will have used the doll at one point to satisfy their own sexual needs, and that’s a very personal thing. They’ll have touched her, cared about her, and looked after her, and that can be uncomfortable to think about.
However, you can rest easy in the knowledge that there’s really nothing unhygienic about buying a refurbished doll, especially if you buy from a merchant you trust. The dolls are sterilized completely, and any wear and tear they may have accumulated is repaired. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed in most cases to tell the difference between a refurbished doll and a brand-new one.
And as for the emotional aspects of being intimate with a doll that was previously owned by someone else, consider how most of your other intimate relationships probably started out the same way. Unless your exes were all virgins when you started dating them, they’d all been loved, cherished, and touched by other men, as well.
This didn’t stop you from developing loving, meaningful relationships with them yourself, and you shouldn’t let it stop you from connecting with the right love doll, either.
How do you buy a previously owned love doll?
Once you start looking into your options, you’ll find that there are as many different ways to go about buying a used love doll as any other good quality used item. Here are some of the most common and popular ways to acquire a refurbished sex doll.
You can buy directly from the owner
Many people prefer to cut the middleman entirely out of the equation when buying or selling things, so you might well be able to buy the type of doll you want directly from her previous owner. This is most often done through private online forums and marketplaces that cater specifically to doll lovers.
Listings advertising dolls for sale will likely include descriptions, pictures, and a general history of the doll. Some dolls will have been heavily used, while others may never have been used, and asking prices will typically reflect factors like these. And if you’re buying from someone who lives near you, you will likely have the opportunity to look the doll over in person before striking a deal.
You can buy from a retailer or reseller
Even a refurbished doll will still represent a decent investment, so many people feel more comfortable buying from a qualified reseller with an established reputation. Official resellers often have higher standards dolls need to meet before they offer them for sale to their valued customers.
The dolls will have undergone professional cleaning processes in most cases, so you’re not reliant on someone else’s word that they’ve correctly sterilized the doll you’re looking to buy. You may also have the option of setting up financing or credit, as well, giving you access to more choices that may make your purchase even easier.
Which of these options is right for you depends entirely on your comfort level. Some people like the security of buying from a professional retailer, but some love buying straight from the owner, as well. Either option is a valid way to get your hands on a used or refurbished doll.
How should you prepare a refurbished doll for use?
If you buy from an established retailer, your doll should arrive completely sterilized and prepared for your own safe use. But if you buy from an independent seller, it’s a good idea to give her a quick cleaning before enjoying her, just to make sure everything is done the way it should be.
Use a gentle, doll-safe cleaner and a washcloth to thoroughly clean both the doll’s internal cavities and her skin. (Standard household hand or dish soap is usually fine.) Allow her to dry completely afterward. And if you want to be extra-vigilant about sterilization, you can treat her with a UV light treatment as a finishing touch. After that, your doll is ready to enjoy, so have fun!
