Can water damage this doll?

My daughter has never taken her into the tub but i don't think that it would.

I wouldn't put her in the water as she has felt on one side of her head. If you get the hair of any MH or Barbie doll wet it gets kinda snarly so I wouldn't suggest it for any of them. For this particular one I would definitely avoid water.

Damage is a vague term. Yes, you could put her in the water. The parts are all solid so there isn't a lot of room to trap water, so there would be very little chance of getting her moldy inside. Now, as for the face, it would also be okay in water. Prolonged water exposure may soften it, but these kinds of things tend to be pretty durable. Just don't wash it with rubbing alcohol or anything because that WOULD take the face off. As a customizer, I know this for a fact. For the hair, it would probably lose the shape after a while if you were submerging it often. I have had to wash the hair of Monster High dolls I purchased second hand, with shampoo and conditioner, and it hasn't had any ill effects as far as the fiber goes. I've even washed the hair of my original Venus with no ill effects. So if you are talking about putting her in water for a photo-shoot, then she should be fine. I'd just take her clothes and accessories off while she dries. If you are thinking of using her as a bath buddy, she'd probably be fine for a while, but it would take it's toll after using her in a bath many times.

No, this is a collectible doll. Do not put in water. Answered by Marlene T. Dec., 2013. I brought it for a gift for my 9 year old granddaughter and have not opened the box.

That depends on how nice you want to keep her. Repeated exposure to water will damage her hair, and water that gets stuck inside her head and joints can shorten the lifespan of those joints. But she's not going to immediately fall apart just because you got her wet, nor does she have any absorbent materials that will retain moisture and grow mouldy, so if your kid wants to play with her mermaid doll in the bathtub, no worries.

It is a flesh tone. One thing we learned is that the doll must be hung up to dry after taking it out of the water. It has these tiny beads inside of it that need to dry out. Sometimes, my granddaughter likes to play with the doll when t hey both got out of the tub, but she could not do that with this doll. That is the only negative that we learned over time.

This hasn't been used yet since we bought it as a Christmas gift. However, I wash all if our Lamaze toys in the washing machine with no damage to them. My plan is to wash this toy the same way.

We bought this doll for my daughter last Christmas so she had a doll she could take in the bath. If you follow the instruction properly for drying the doll its perfect! We have had no issues with it and it dries well. My daughter plays with hers out of the water more then in the water. We have been very happy with this doll.

Sure! I don't think this is a 'keep forever doll', so I'd let your DD get all the playtime fun she can out of this doll before the doll's head breaks off and/or the head fills with water and becomes a mildew filled mess. The doll will surely 'expire' long before chlorine will have any impact. Then recycle her, but keep the clothes and have grandma make your DD a nice rag doll instead. :)

Unfortunately, this particular toy is not waterproof. Thanks for shopping with GW Corp!

No. She can be surface cleaned, but I would not take her into the bath. Corolle makes other baby dolls that are specifically designed to go into the bath.

It can go in the water, but I wouldn't consider it a water toy. It has to be drained out afterwards, as do the rest of the fleet.

I think so! The doll itself seems very sturdy. The hat will be easily lost but looks cuter without anyway. The clothes might be the only issue because they are thin but the doll quality, for the price, is great. Hope that helps!

Yes it is. My granddaughter loved it but even with the diaper on the water goes right through so you may want to put a towel under the doll and buy extra diapers. Also got the bathtub for the doll which she really enjoyed playing with

Hi. I've used this at outdoor plays and at the beach. I have never submerged it in water as the interior frame is metal or aluminum, but I've gotten it wet and spilled soda on it with no problems hosing it off. I just make sure to dry it out right after rinsing so the metal won't rust.

I'm sure you can, as she is all plastic, but I would worry about her getting water in the joints and molding. I would think "sponge baths" would be fine but submerging would create problems. She really is a girl!

I think you would have to be careful to get any excess water out of the doll after being in the bath. It's a good size doll for a small child but I would recommend not putting it in water. Pretend bathing with a damp cloth would be my suggestion. It is a very cute baby. I have four of them, 2 boys and two girls that will go to older children because they are anatomically correct.

Yes, my daughter has bathed this doll in water and she dried easily with a towel. No water seemed to get inside the doll, but we did not completely submerge just bathed an an inch or two in the provided tub.

No...they are essentially made out of tissue paper so water would damage them.
