Inflatable Sex Dolls

What Is an Inflatable Sex Doll?

An inflatable sex doll, also known as a blow-up doll, is designed to look similar to a person. Typically with accurate placement of anatomy, they can differ in appearance, gender, size, and more.

Sex dolls give you the feeling of being with a partner, even if they can sometimes look pretty corny. Inflatable sex dolls are discreet because of their ability to deflate, fold up, and store away.

Female body inflatable sex dolls have a hole for a mouth, vagina, and anus. They also often include various breast sizes. Male body inflatable sex dolls have a penis and occasionally come with an anal hole and vibrating tongue feature. These dolls are made out of plastic and are the cheapest versions of sex dolls.

How to Inflate the Doll

Most inflatable sex dolls come with some form of instructions to get you familiar with the doll’s use and care. Be sure to reference the instructions for any material with additional or unconventional features. The instructions will tell you where to find the opening to inflate your sex doll.

Open the package with care, avoiding using anything sharp near the project. Spread the doll out to carefully separate any parts that may stick together. Because inflatable dolls are most commonly rubber, you’ll want to start the process off carefully.

Mouth

Many of the inexpensive inflatable sex doll models come with mouthpieces for inflation. This method takes the longest but will generally give you the most control over how much air you put into the inflatable sex doll.

When inflating your sex doll by mouth, you may be tempted to stop halfway for “good enough” use. While this won’t run the risk of popping your sex doll, you will most likely not have the same pleasurable sensation. The holes or dildo will not be as tight or hard, and it may be difficult to situate the doll in a proper position.

Additionally, be cautious of any moisture that may get inside the doll from your breath. This can lead to mold growing inside of the doll. If the inflatable sex doll starts to develop an unpleasant odor, throw it out immediately.

Manual Pump

Some models may come with a small manual pump that adds air into the doll faster. You can also use manual pumps that are from balloon pumps, bike pumps, or other small pumps that give you control over the rate you add air.

Manual pumps are generally the recommended middle-ground for inflating your sex doll. They don’t take as long as blowing air from your mouth, and you have less of a risk for overinflating your sex doll.

Automatic Pump

Automatic pumps rarely come with inflatable sex dolls but may be purchased as an additional feature. When using an automatic pump, it’s very important to monitor the amount of air that goes into your inflatable sex doll. If left on for too long, you risk tearing the doll or popping it entirely.

However, for experienced users familiar with how much to inflate their sex doll, an automatic pump may be the best choice. They quickly inflate the doll, and with some automatic pumps, there’s a feature to suck out the air. You’ll be able to fold the sex doll more efficiently this way.

How to Use a Female Body Inflatable Sex Doll

1. Use Lube.

Use the waiting time to grab some lube and any other sex toy you’re looking to play with. Inflatable sex dolls aren’t self-lubricating, so to avoid any discomfort or unpleasurable friction, grab your favorite lubricant. Because inflatable sex dolls aren’t typically silicone, you can use water-based, silicone-based, or oil-based lubricants on them.

Apply lube to the area of the doll you plan to interact with. Then, apply lube to yourself. There’s no such thing as using too much lube when it comes to comfortable sex and masturbation, especially when using an inflatable sex doll. This reduces the risk of irritation and tears on you or your inflatable sex doll.

2. Using the Female Features.

Female inflatable sex dolls come in a variety of sizes, features, and shapes. They generally have breasts, vaginal and anal holes, and a mouth.

After you’ve applied lube, you can use the inflatable sex doll as a real person. You can experiment with various positions and expand on your kinks from the anonymity of your home. When using your inflatable sex doll, try to wear a condom to be safe from any bacteria on the doll. See the “How to clean an inflatable sex doll” section to avoid harmful bacteria growth.

3. Cleaning the Doll.

Inflatable sex dolls are no different than your other sex toys. It’s very important to keep them clean and sanitary to not risk your health.

Do not use coarse or harsh washcloths, sponges, etc., on an inflatable sex doll. This can easily damage the surface and lead to wear or even tear a hole. Never use hot or boiling water when cleaning the inflatable sex doll, which can quickly deteriorate the material.

You can wash off most fluids, and water-based lubes with general water and soap. But for high-intensity sessions and oil-based or silicone-based lubes, you’ll most likely want to invest in some specialized sex toy soap. You can do this while the doll is still inflated, but be careful not to scrub too harshly. This may help you get into the holes easier to clean out any fluids.

Take a microfiber or soft cloth and wipe down the entire doll. Leave the inflatable sex doll out to dry in a warm, dry place, so any additional moisture is dried. Drying the inner parts of an inflatable sex doll can prevent possible hygiene problems.

Once the sex toy is clean and dry, you can entirely deflate the doll, fold it, and put it away for storage. When you take it back out for its next use, give it a quick wipe down to remove any particles like dust from the surface, and you’ll be sure to have a clean inflatable sex doll.

How to Use a Male Body Inflatable Sex Doll

1. Don’t Forget the Lube.

Apply the lube to the area of the doll you plan to interact with. Then, apply lube to yourself. Making sure you have enough lube will reduce the chances of uncomfortable friction or irritation. It will also prevent tears in your inflatable sex doll.

2. Using the Features.

On average, male body inflatable sex dolls have up to 3 features: a dildo, a hole for anal play, or a tongue.

The dildo of a male sex toy can come in various sizes and is made out of softer material without harsh rubber seams, so you don’t have to worry about internal discomfort. If you have a model with a tongue feature, they often come with vibrating capabilities to simulate oral sex.

After you’ve inflated the sex doll, you can either ride the inflatable penis or the tongue vibrator. The anus of the inflatable sex doll can be penetrated by a penis or a strap-on dildo.

3. Cleaning Your Sex Doll.

You’re going to need to be sure that you thoroughly clean, dry, and store your inflatable sex doll to extend its usefulness.

Some people believe that using high-temperature water may kill more bacteria, but if you focus on thoroughly scrubbing the orifices and surface, you’re less likely to have harmful bacteria. Don’t use hot water or harsh scrubbing materials on your inflatable sex doll.

Use warm water to help break up any fluid or lube on the inflatable sex doll. You can use normal soap, but a specialized sex toy cleaner is sure to get off most tough fluids and bacteria. Cleaning the doll while it’s still inflated may make it easier to clean off hard to access spots.

After you’ve cleaned every part of the inflatable sex doll, one of the most important steps is to thoroughly dry the sex toy. If an inflatable sex doll is not properly dried before storage, it could lead to mold or bacteria growth. Dry the doll with a microfiber cloth and leave it in a warm, dry place to remove all unwanted moisture.

Finally, entirely deflate the doll, carefully fold and store in a cool, dry place. When you take it out again, give it a quick wipe down to remove particles like dust.

How to Not Damage an Inflatable Sex Doll

Storage

To avoid any damage while storing the doll, keep it in a dry, cool place. Excessive temperatures and moisture can not only cause damage to the material itself, but it can lead to unhealthy bacteria or mold growth.

Do not hang your inflatable sex doll on wire hangers – this will lead to creasing. Instead, if you decide to hang the sex doll rather than folding and storing it, put a cloth over a wooden or plastic hanger and hang the deflated sex doll from there.

Sex

When having sex with your inflatable sex doll, you don’t necessarily have to be gentle, but you should be conscious of the amount of pressure you’re putting on your sex toy. Keep it away from sharp objects, be careful of the weight you put on top of it, and not bend it too severely.

Repair

If you have a small hole in the inflatable sex doll, repairs could be as easy as taking the adhesive side of a BandAid over the prick. However, large holes and tears will call for a repair kit. These can be easily found online or in stores as raft patch kits that come with detailed instructions. Do not try to use any glues like superglue as these are known to melt the plastic.

Where to Buy an Inflatable Sex Doll

Shopping Online

When you decide to buy an inflatable sex doll online, you have a vast amount of choices at your disposal. Using your desired criteria, you can find an inexpensive sex doll that will meet all of your personal needs. You may not be aware that some inflatable sex dolls need the additional purchase of a wig; be sure to check the product details so you don’t suddenly have a doll you weren’t prepared for!

Reviews on inflatable sex dolls are arguably the most important area to check on a manufacturer’s site. Checking out product information and features helps you better understand your product, but the reviews confirm the quality. It’s easy to find reviews that aren’t from people buying the product just for a gag gift. The feedback from actual users will tell you if the product information and guarantee are accurate or not.

Shopping In-Store

If you decide to go to a local store for an inflatable sex doll, it’s best to find your local sex shop. While other supermarkets or convenience stores may have a selection of models, they’re not always of the best quality; they’re usually stocked as joke gifts. Your local sex shop will not only have a wider variety, but the employees will be more equipped to help you decide if you’re looking for particular features.

How Much Do Inflatable Sex Dolls Cost?

Inflatable sex dolls are a cheaper alternative to the silicone alternative. They can range anywhere from $10 to $300, while the silicone or Cyberskin models can start at $500.

Because they’re made of plastic and don’t always have the most realistic appearance, they generally start for about $10 to $40 for simple models. When it comes to more realistic inflatable sex dolls with additional features, you’ll find the price increasing with each detail.

Be sure the manufacturer provides detailed product information, so you’re aware of what features you’re getting with your new inflatable sex doll.
