What Is a Sex Doll Drying Stick (Drying Rod)?
A sex doll drying stick (also known as a drying rod) is an essential care accessory designed to fully dry the internal cavities of a sex doll after cleaning.
It is usually made of highly absorbent sponge-like material and is shaped to fit safely inside the doll’s cavities. After washing your sex doll with an irrigator, moisture can remain inside, especially in TPE sex dolls, which are more porous than silicone.
Proper drying is critical to prevent mold, bacteria, bad odors, and hygiene risks.
Why Drying Sex Doll Cavities Is So Important
If moisture is left inside the doll:
- Mold can develop internally
- The doll becomes unhygienic to use
- Internal materials may degrade
- It can pose health risks to the user
This is why drying is not optional, especially for sex dolls made of TPE.
How to Use a Sex Doll Drying Stick
- Clean the cavity thoroughly using a sex doll irrigator.
- Rinse until no soap residue remains.
- Gently insert the drying stick/rod into the cavity.
- Leave it inside for several hours to absorb all internal moisture.
- Remove and allow the drying stick to air dry completely before reuse.
Does the Drying Stick Come Included?
Not always.
Some brands include a drying rod, but many sex dolls do not, which is why we strongly recommend having one available.
Alternative Option
If a drying stick is not included, tampons can be used as a replacement, as they are absorbent and cavity-safe when used carefully.
Sex Doll Drying Stick – FAQ
Is a drying stick necessary for all sex dolls?
Yes, but it is especially important for TPE sex dolls, as they retain moisture more easily than silicone dolls.
Can I skip drying if I rinsed well?
No. Rinsing removes residue, but drying removes moisture, which is what prevents mold.
How long should the drying rod stay inside?
Usually a few hours, depending on cavity depth and moisture level.
Can I use a towel or cloth instead?
Maybe, but please keep in mind towels cannot reach deep cavities safely and may leave lint or fibers behind.
Are tampons safe to use instead?
Yes, as an alternative, as long as they are unscented and changed if they become saturated.
How often should I dry the doll?
After every single cleaning, without exception.
Best Practices for Sex Doll Drying & Care
