Well, somehow, her back is broken. This is a previous picture, just because, it’s not from tonight. 

I’ve only had her for a few weeks. I just finished doing her second bath. I noticed when I picked her up off the bed she felt even heavier and wobbly, but I didn’t make anything of it because I got her onto the rolling office chair easily enough. I rolled her to the tub and nearly killed myself putting her in the tub and then I noticed she wouldn’t sit up straight the way she did during the first bath. 

I have been moving her around in the bed as carefully as possible. I can’t help but think that it’s a design flaw because I wasn’t that rough with her. But I think she’s ruined. I had so much trouble getting her into the tub and back out again that she got two small tears because I was fighting to lift all that dead and now wet weight. One tear is just on the bottom of her foot, the sole, so not a big deal. But the other is her anus, and that was fine last night when I cleaned her. 

I’m bummed. I kind of doubt the company is going to do anything about this. They’ll just say that it was my fault, that I was too rough on her. 

I can’t imagine that bathing her in the tub is something that I will be able to do regularly like I planned to. So, I really don’t know how I can possibly keep her clean. The vagina and anus were easy to clean. I put a garbage bag and a towel under her and flushed her out with the douche tool and a TPE safe toy cleaner, then used drying rods. The mouth is even easier because the head is removable, and I could just clean it separately and use the rods. 

But her body… it’s pretty much impossible to stop the lint and hair from sticking to her, even with lots of corn starch and covering her up with a clean blanket as much as possible. I have tried using paper towels, dish rags, and microfiber towels, along with plain water or water and toy cleaner. But the only thing that really got her nice and clean was a bath. And now it’s looking like bathing is going to be a nightmare and it’s going to tear her every time I wrestle with her like that. 

I’m super bummed out. 

Catastrophic failure already
