You’ve placed your order, tracked the shipment obsessively, and now—your sex doll has finally arrived. But before you tear open the box in excitement, stop and take a deep breath. Unboxing a sex doll, especially a torso doll from Maiaodolls, is more than just ripping through tape. It’s the first step in building a lasting, clean, and fulfilling experience.
In this comprehensive unboxing guide, we’ll walk you through how to receive, unpack, inspect, and care for your sex doll the moment it arrives. Whether this is your first doll or your fifth, follow these steps to protect your investment and enjoy peace of mind.
- Prepare Before You Open the Box
✔ Choose a clean and private space:
Preferably a bedroom, studio, or bathroom with good lighting
Clear away sharp objects, pets, or food items
✔ Wash your hands and trim your nails:
Avoid scratching the material during handling
✔ Get your unboxing tools ready:
Scissors or box cutter (careful—do NOT cut too deep)
Clean towel or bathmat (to place the doll on)
Optional: Gloves for oily coatings or powder handling
- Inspect the Packaging for Damage
Most sex dolls are shipped in neutral, discreet packaging. Check for:
External holes, rips, or signs of water exposure
Odd smells (a faint factory scent is normal, mold or chemicals are not)
If you notice serious exterior damage, photograph it before opening. This can be useful for warranty or insurance purposes. - Carefully Open the Outer Box
Use a cutter to score the edges of the tape—don’t plunge the blade downward. Dolls are tightly packed and you could nick the skin or face.
Once opened, you’ll usually find:
The doll securely wrapped in foam and plastic
Accessories tucked in side compartments or corners
Optional: gloves, care kit, clothing
- Gently Remove the Doll from the Box
Hold the doll by larger surface areas—not by fingers, neck, or joints. For torso dolls:
Slide hands under the shoulders or waist
Lift slowly and avoid pinching or squeezing soft TPE/silicone zones
Place on a soft towel or memory foam mat
- Check for All Accessories
Your Maiaodolls order may include:
Sex doll body(TPE or silicone, torso or full-size)
Wig
Heating rod USB-powered internal heating
Vagina cleaner For full-size or hybrid models
Powder/gloves To reduce stickiness or for handling - Inspect for Factory Defects or Transit Damage
Although rare, you should immediately look for:
Cuts, dents, or tears in the TPE/silicone skin
Eye asymmetry or face misalignment
Detached parts (especially removable heads or plugs) - Pose and Test Key Features
Before you store or use the doll, test basic flexibility. For torso dolls:
Breast softness and rebound feel
Bendability (if applicable)
Plug-in holes for heating rods or accessories
- First Use: Gentle and Safe
For first-time use:
Use water-based lubricant only (avoid silicone-based oils)
Don’t use the doll while it’s still damp from cleaning
Avoid extreme postures—no bending beyond 45°
For torso dolls, try placing them on your lap or a memory foam pillow for added comfort during use.
- Emotional First Impressions Matter
Unboxing a sex doll is an intimate moment. It’s okay to feel excited, nervous, or even unsure. Many customers name their doll and begin forming emotional bonds right away.
Here are some ideas to make the experience personal:
Play music in the background
Dress the doll in clothing you selected beforehand
Take a photo and share with other collectors (if you’re comfortable)
- Proper Storage After Unboxing
If you’re not using the doll immediately:
Place it in a breathable storage bag or under a blanket in a dry drawer
Avoid plastic covers for long-term storage (causes sweating)
Don’t place weight on breasts or neck while stored
Keep out of direct sunlight or high-humidity areas
- Maintenance Starter Kit Suggestions
Consider assembling your doll care kit:
Item Purpose
Microfiber cloth For drying and daily wiping
Baby powder / cornstarch To prevent stickiness
Water-based lube Required for all insert interactions
Storage bag / case Keeps doll clean & safe
Antibacterial soap Gentle cleaning after use
Bonus: Keep a dedicated towel or blanket just for your doll.

Receiving your doll is a big moment. Whether it’s your first or your fifth, take the time to:
