Is it easy to drain any water that gets inside this doll from "swimming" in the pool or bathtub?

No, it is very difficult to get the water out. The doll is not allowed in the bath anymore.

Yup...liquids drain right out...there is no wait time....liquid in/liquid out..grandaughter lived it for birthday...

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.

We do night time baths and hang the doll over night. Usually by the morning the doll is dry. Just make sure you ring the head and the body out well. I also undress the doll when we put the baby in the bath.

It rinses out pretty easily. I swish it out a couple times in the bathtub. Stuff does not get stuck.

Umm I'd say they would be equally easy to wash as their external material are much the same, but the bath doll dries a lot quicker as there is less stuffing and more synthetic beads inside (thus is floppier).

I wouldn't advise getting it wet since the majority of the doll is plush. And because the arms, legs, and head are plastic you probably can't put it in the dryer to dry.

In theory, yes, however water could potentially get into the actual doll through its joints, i would guess.

I advise you not immerse the whole doll in water. the water gets into the cracks of the doll and ruin. hello.

Yes she is, though because she is my daughter's favorite doll, she decided only older dolls go in the tub. There are no soft parts that would get ruined by bath water.

Yes. We bathe her in the bathtub. It has a plug to drain the water that drains right into the tub! It is a high quality tub. Nice and sturdy.

Very easy, just lift it up off of the tub, if it's filled with heavy items, just remove them first.

Whatever you do, don't submerge her in bath water, or in the sink, or in the dishwasher. Her squeaker will stop working, and, as you mentioned, some of the water that gets in is IMPOSSIBLE to get out. We had to retire Sophie for fear of mold.

I'm not sure where the water gets in but it does get in between the cover and the bladder. Not a big deal though. When I pull the tube back on board there is always a few gallons inside. I have to hold it on the swim platform to allow the water to drain.

No drain. You have to turn it to dump water and hang to dry. It's easy to maintain. Great tub! Love ours.

I never have, but I put all tub toys in a tub tray/basket so they can drain and receive air. I've been very happy with this toy.

Yes you can use balls instead. It has a drain plug in it but if you don't have water just plug it up and go. Its a great product and my 4 yr old has a blast with or without water :-)

I like to clean the tub before around the drain then on a wet surface put down the stopper press down a little and then fill with water. It works just fine. I have a toddler and she even knows how to use it. Great and easy product to use.
