1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Do you kiss your dolls?

Feb 26, 2023

    1. I give smooches to the tops of their heads/on their wigs :3

    2. I'm not much of a smoocher but I do pat them! My favorite thing to do have them hold my hand (or really just a finger) while they sit on my desk while I'm working at it.

    3. I have never thought of kissing my dolls before. I usually wear creams or chapstick as my skin is very dry so I avoid any contact with my face.
      I hold their hands and style their hair as a sign of affection.

    4. I do like to hold their hands and occasionally I stroke their cheek very gently, but I don’t kiss them (I talk to them, and apologise if I am changing their clothes!)

    5. Yes! Especially the little child ones, they are just so darn cute! I like to kiss the tops of their little heads, poke their little noses, and give them hugs. I also give them little toys to hold. The bigger ones, I just kind of pet their heads, they are older and don't need as much cuddles and attention.

    6. I love giving my dolls a little kiss on the head, they are so cute and lovely it is a necessity!

    7. I’m a perpetual lip balm user so I try to avoid it…

    8. What a fun question :). I occasionally stroke my dolls' hair on top of their head, but don't give kisses. I can understand why other people do it though. Some of them are so cute, aren't they :love

    9. Kisses, head pats, cuddles, hugs and even nose boops my dolls get them all. Sometimes I see them sitting so cute I just stop and sigh with contentment then boop their noses asking how they could be so cute!

    10. one time while putting one of my dolls back on the shelf after changing her clothes I spontaneously gave her a hug and kissed the top of her head. but, I don't regularly kiss or hug my dolls. I was feeling a lot of stress at the time, and just needed to give my doll a hug.

    11. Yeah, I do kiss them on their heads occasionally. I love to hug them and hold their hands as well :3

    12. When I bump into them or make them fall, yes, I do kiss them on the top of their heads :blush But it's very rare.

    13. No, I've never really thought of it haha. I'll pat their head of I accidentally drop or bump them, though.

    15. I've smooched the tops of their heads, on their wigs. Not all of them, though. Only some of them, when I'm feeling particularly sentimental about them.

      My first boy didn't have shoes for the first few months I had him, and when I first put shoes on him, I smooched the soles of his cute little feet. I still think Volks SD13 boys have the nicest shaped feet.

    17. I don’t do it with all of my dolls, just with the one that I love the most.
      However, I do not do it often, it is something I do rarely as I do not hold my dolls often.

    18. It's something I've never really thought about doing myself, but I wouldn't consider it strange. Personally, I don't tend to show affection towards my resin crew. They show it enough amongst themselves to compensate for it.:XD:

      In general, I'm not really a physically affectionate person. Like others, my cat is an exception. Cats just seem to have that affect on people, don't they?:kitty2:lol:

    19. Totally. Kisses in the hair, pats, hugs, nose boops... the whole catalog of affection. That kind of thing is my love language so it's only natural that I do it to my dolls, to which I tend to form a strong bond (I get very attached to my most personal belongings). I always wash my hand before holding them so I think it should be safe for the resin.

    20. I wouldn't recommend it, because urethane/polyurethane is vulnerable to weak acids such as body fluids. If you do, make sure your lips are very dry and clean it off quickly.
