“Tramp Steamer” sounds like the tool one would use to clean the doll.

I think there’s a commercial for those. The jingle is:  
“Call 1-800-STEAMER. Stanley Steamer the sex toy cleaner.”  
Or something like that.

Dammit! Don’t make me laugh at work!

I’m going to take my female torso product to the bathroom now so I can giggle uncontrollably in peace.

Ive seen them advertised. They are literally about 12 inches of torso and nothing more. Or two buttocks and a hole. I guess it makes sense if youre on a budget.

As a man, I must ask: what is this concept “clean out” you speak of?

This is when it really pays to use a high quality synthetic like Amsoil.

Okay, so I went to the Realdoll site for research purposes. They all have underdeveloped jaws. It’s really weird. But that’s not what I came here to tell you about…

They have a refurbishing kit that you can use if you bought your Realdoll secondhand. Barf. They also have a kit that you can use to replace your Realldoll’s faux vaginal and anal lining.

They also have a labia replacement kit–the picture along with it is hilarious. There are these inner labia just sitting there next to some glue.

I just thought it was interesting. And I’ve gotta say–in spite of the weird jaws, the Realdolls looked about a thousand times better than Roxxxy the Robot.

Plus, they don’t talk to you.

You know, I was discussing this with some friends a few weeks ago, and we were all too revolted and chicken to actually research the topic. I am not clicking the link.

_Labia replacement kit_? Refurbished sex toys?

Aaaagh.
