Playing with a well-made sex doll is one of the most immersive experiences you can have while playing solo. But unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. Thus, after a while, you may have to replace your sex doll because it is damaged, it does not work for you anymore, or for any other reason, so you are facing the problem of how to dispose of your sex doll. It can be a real challenge for many, as it can be really tricky to get rid of a sex doll. But our experts have worked out several suggestions on how to dispose of a sex doll, and we hope you’ll find a solution.
What Is a Sex Doll?
The sex doll is realistically shaped and designed to look like an actual body and is intended to be used for sex. Some sex toys are realistically shaped but only include the butt and genitals. Many sex doll models include additional parts of the body, like the torso, buttocks, and breasts; there are full-body sex dolls that are almost lifelike and have all the good parts.
How to Dispose of a Sex Doll?
Disposing of a sex doll is somewhat tricky, as many of these are made from several different materials like TPE, silicone, PVC, metal, and vinyl, which means they are really not recycling-friendly. There are several ways to responsibly dispose of a sex doll, which our experts outline here:
Sell or Give it Away
The safest way to dispose of a full-body sex doll is to try to sell it or give it away. You should deeply clean it and try to resell it. Most realistic sex dolls that are made from silicone cost over a couple of thousand dollars, and many may want to get one at a discounted price. Create an anonymous post on your preferred ad platform, or you can check in with online sex doll forums, and you will for sure find a new home for your doll.
You can also find charitable organizations that accept donations, so you can donate your sex doll to someone who will make use of it. Think of haunted houses, tattoo shops, boutiques, movie props, emergency training dolls, and the like.
Check with Specialized Disposal Companies
There are specialized companies that take in used sex dolls, so try to find one in your vicinity and check in with them first. Many of these will take the doll off your hands, clean and repair any damage, and then put it up for sale. Some companies also run an old-for-new option, accepting your old sex doll and giving you a discount on a new model.
Check for Recycling Options
You can consult a recycling center and ask them if they accept sex dolls. It will depend on the material your doll is made from; if you have a silicone model, it is recyclable, but the less expensive TPE models are not as widely accepted.
Here, we need to mention that the inflatable love dolls that are primarily made from vinyl are perfect for recycling. Just make sure you wash it well, and you can cut it up into smaller pieces to try and hide what it once was before taking it to the recycling center. But please note that the people working there won’t mind, as they’ve seen everything.
Disassemble and Dispose of the Parts
If you are unable to find a solution to the suggestions above, then the next option is to disassemble the doll into smaller pieces. Try to separate the metal parts and any electrical components and take them to a recycling center. Many won’t have any idea where these parts come from if you bring a box of metal parts for recycling, so there is no worry of an embarrassing situation.
Then, you should disassemble the silicone and TPE parts into smaller pieces, which may need to go into your regular trash. Please check the local guidelines on disposing of such materials and follow the local laws.
Throw it Out
We don’t recommend throwing out your sex doll, but if all else fails, it may be your last resort. If you have only a smaller sex doll torso, it may go into your regular trash bin, but you may have to find a dumpster or an enormous waste disposal center where you can dump the entire doll. If you decide to go for this step, we advise you to be careful as someone may see you and mistake the sex doll for an actual human body, and you can get into real trouble.
Don’t Burn, Bury, or Abandon your Sex Doll
We don’t recommend you burn your sex doll, as it is made from polymer materials and is not an environmentally safe option. Burying may seem like a good option, like burying that part of your life, but please note that the love doll is mainly made from materials that don’t decompose. So, it will remain the same as the day you bury it and won't decompose for years to come, which is not a good idea at all.
When we are on this point, you should never abandon your sex doll in a public place like a remote area, a building site, or an abandoned building. It can be dangerous, and it is illegal to litter. Plus, you may end up on security footage, earn a fine, and even end up online. That is why we don’t advise you to go for these steps but check for responsible ways to get rid of your sex doll.
The Bottom Line
The most reliable method of disposing of your sex doll depends on the material of your doll, the condition it is in, and your local regulations. If the doll is in good condition, the best thing is to try selling it or donating it to someone who will want it.
We recommend you contact your local waste management service (or the one in a town over) and consult them for disposal. They should provide you with guidance and advice on the most reliable ways to get rid of your love doll. Whatever way you decide to go, please do this responsibly and think about the environmental impact this will have.
