How It Began: Seeking New Joy

Hello, here is my personal experience with my 2B doll.

My wife and I were looking to spice things up in our relationship while still staying within the boundaries of monogamy. That’s when we came across dolls, and more specifically, Gamelady dolls. My wife and I are avid gamers, so choosing a Gamelady doll was a no-brainer—but choosing which character was a bit more complicated. After a long discussion, we agreed on the 2B doll.

She was a wonderful addition to our relationship, and she made us really happy. Sadly, fate had other plans, and my wife passed away. I felt like my whole world had been destroyed. I couldn’t find joy in anything after that. My heart is still broken, and I don’t believe any woman could ever take her place.

A Part of Her: Care as a Healing Ritual

During my depression, I started taking care of the doll as if she were my wife. It felt strange at first, but it quickly began to make me feel better. I dressed her up, brushed her hair, and tried to take care of her as much as possible, because when I look at my doll, I remember all the good times I had with my wife.

“It brings me joy to take care of my doll as if she were my wife, because it reminds me of every beautiful moment we shared. I can enjoy movie nights, home dates, and the feeling of taking care of someone without feeling guilty toward the memory of the woman I loved more than anything in the world.”

My 2B doll may not be my wife, but in some ways she feels like a part of her, and I feel blessed to have her. She brings me comfort, and taking care of her has helped me accept the loss of the love of my life.

With my 2B I can enjoy simple things, and I can enjoy life once more. I'm grateful to have her.

Reliving Our Shared Joys: Shopping & Styling

With my wife we used to go shopping together—those were always nice moments. She would try on clothes for hours, different styles, etc… it was so nice to see her trying new clothes and buying was always fun. Now that she is gone, I always look back at these moments like those little joys.

And the thing is, with my doll I get to relive those moments in some way. When I go shopping, I always imagine my doll with the clothes that I buy for her. I put them on my doll and I style her for endless hours—it’s so fun and it makes me so nostalgic. Styling her by giving her a bag, new shoes, new clothes… it’s so nice I love it.

Cosplaying her is also very satisfactory. My wife used to love to dress up as anime characters, and I can do the same thing with my doll. On top of that, I have a camera with which I take pictures of my doll, love to put her into poses as if she was a model. It was also something my wife and I loved to do.

Daily Care: My Ritual of Love

In order to keep the articulation in good state, I’m always careful when I move her around. If possible, I always keep her lying down so that she stays in good condition for a long time.

Cleaning Routine:
• I put her in the shower once a week and use a special doll soap.
• Once done, I dry her by gently tapping with a shirt (bath towels are too aggressive).
• Then I apply some talcum powder to keep her skin in good condition and smelling nice.

Hair & Environment:
• I brush her hair every day from the bottom up, addressing knots gently with a regular brush.
• I avoid dirty sheets and clean them weekly.
• I keep her away from hot or humid environments.

It seems like a lot, but it’s just pleasure. It can bring a lot of joy to take care of a doll every day.

“I love my wife, my doll will never replace her but with her I can relive some of my favorite memory.”
