Hang her by the head bolt if you can. If you can't, change her position every couple of weeks. Almost all storage damage has the same cause: her weight resting on one area of silicone for months. This leaves a pressure mark that never fully goes away.
Everything below comes from that one idea.
Why storage matters more than people expect
She spends most of her life in storage. Whatever position she is in during those months is the position the material gets used to.
Silicone has good memory, so it springs back from short-term pressure easily. What it can't fully recover from is steady pressure over time, such as weeks of her weight pressing one buttock into a mattress, an arm folded tightly against her body, or her heels carrying her weight on a hard floor.
The damage isn't dramatic. It looks like a flattened area, a crease at the elbow that won't relax, or a small dent that catches the light. It can be prevented completely, but once it happens it is mostly permanent.
How to store a sex doll: option 1, hanging (best)
A hanging kit attaches to the neck bolt and holds her up so that no part of her body presses against a surface.
Why it works: nothing gets squeezed. Her skeleton carries the weight through the mount, which is what it was built to do.
What you need: a hanging bracket or stand rated for her weight, and an anchor point that can really hold 30–40 kg. A closet rod usually can't.
Watch for this: if her arms hang against her body for months, they can still crease at the armpit. A small piece of soft foam between her arm and her body fixes this.
Option 2: lying down (works, with care)
This is fine if you do three things.
Use a soft surface. Use a mattress, thick foam or a padded case. Don't use a hard floor, a bare shelf or a wooden box without padding.
Keep her in a neutral pose. Keep her limbs slightly bent, not fully straight and not tightly folded. A joint held at either extreme for months is where creases form.
Turn her every two weeks. This is the step people forget. Lay her on her back, then on one side, then on the other side. It takes two minutes and prevents nearly all pressure marks.
Option 3: standing (usually not)
Standing feet are available and they work, but standing is not a storage position. All of her weight rests on two small areas of silicone for as long as she stands.
Standing for an evening is fine. Standing for a month is how her heels get flattened.
Where to store her
| Factor | Aim for | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature | Normal, steady room temperature | Attics, garages, sunrooms, spots near radiators |
| Humidity | Normal indoor humidity | Damp basements, closets with no airflow |
| Light | Dark or indirect light | Long periods of direct sunlight |
| Surface | Soft, clean, colorfast | Dark or printed fabrics, because of dye transfer |
| Dust | Covered with a clean sheet | Left uncovered in a dusty room |
The point about dye is worth repeating. A dark bedsheet under her for three months transfers color just like clothing does. Use a white or undyed cotton sheet. It is the cheapest precaution on this page.
How much space you will need
Plan this before you order, not after.
- Hanging: a wardrobe or closet with about 180 cm of clear height and an anchor that can really carry her weight.
- Lying down: a flat area as long as she is, plus room to work. Think of the space a twin bed takes up.
- In a case: a flight-style case needs floor space plus room to open it.
A doll who is hard to store is a doll who stays in the box, and that is the most expensive outcome of all.
Before storing her for a while
For anything longer than a month:
- Give her a full clean and dry her completely. See the routine. Storing her damp is the most common cause of complaints about smell.
- Take off her wig and store it separately on a stand.
- Take off her clothes. Even colorfast fabric transfers dye over months.
- Put her in a neutral pose, with nothing fully straightened or tightly bent.
- Cover her with a clean, undyed sheet.
- Write down the date. Check on her every couple of months and change her position.
What pressure damage looks like
Knowing the signs helps you catch it early:
- A flattened area on a buttock or shoulder that reflects light differently
- A crease at the elbow or knee that no longer relaxes when you move her
- A dent where a joint or a hard surface pressed in
- Flattening across the heel or the ball of the foot
If you catch it within days, most of this recovers when you change her position and add gentle warmth. After months, it is usually permanent.

Common questions
Can you store a sex doll in her shipping crate?
Yes, for a short time, because the packaging is designed to support her. For long-term storage, only if the padding inside keeps weight off her skin, and make sure her pose is neutral.
Is hanging safe for her neck?
Yes, with a bracket rated for her weight. The bolt and the skeleton mount are designed to carry her body. The risk comes from makeshift anchors, not from hanging itself.
How often do I really need to turn her?
Every two weeks if she is lying down. If she is hanging, she doesn't need turning. Just check that her arms aren't creasing at the armpit.
What about a cold room?
Silicone gets stiffer in the cold and is more easily damaged when you handle it cold. Let her warm up to room temperature before you move her, and avoid unheated spaces.
She has been in one position for six months. Is she damaged?
She might be, and the damage may not show until you move her. Move her gently, take a look, and start changing her position regularly. Using sudden force on cold silicone that has been pressed for a long time is how a mark turns into a tear.
