Maintaining smooth and flexible joints is essential for realistic posing and comfort during use. Over time, joints can become stiff due to dirt, dried lubricant, or material friction. To keep them moving freely, regularly inspect the joints and clean out any debris or buildup using a soft brush or cloth. Applying a suitable lubricant—such as silicone-based or water-based lubricants—helps reduce friction and allows for smoother movement. Be cautious to use only lubricants compatible with the doll’s material to prevent deterioration or staining. When lubricating, apply a small amount directly to the joint areas and move the joints gently back and forth to distribute the lubricant evenly. Avoid over-lubrication, which can attract dust and dirt, leading to stiffness over time. Additionally, storing the doll in a relaxed position prevents joint stiffness caused by prolonged unnatural poses. Routine maintenance, including cleaning and lubrication, ensures your doll’s joints remain flexible and easy to pose, providing a more lifelike and enjoyable experience every time you use it.
