Welcome to Dojo Dolls, the world's first and finest Shibari practice dolls. I'm the founder, and the story of Dojo Dolls began from a personal need.

When I started my journey into the intricate world of Shibari, I found myself mesmerized by the beauty of the complex knots and binding patterns. But in those early stages, I was missing something crucial - a partner to practice with whenever I wished and a patient subject that would allow me to take my time to delve into the knots intricately.

The idea for a solution came to me in a spark of inspiration. I decided to create a doll - a practice partner that was always ready and never in a rush. Using high-quality materials, I sewed the first Dojo Doll myself. The result was a lifelike, durable doll that allowed me to practice my Shibari techniques to my heart's content.

The sense of freedom and convenience this doll offered was too good not to share. I felt that everyone, regardless of their experience level or availability of a practice partner, should have this opportunity to hone their Shibari skills at their pace.

Thus, Dojo Dolls was born.

Since then, our mission has been singular yet significant. We want to democratize the practice of Shibari - making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether you have a partner or not. We've taken my initial design and perfected it over time, ensuring our dolls are of the highest quality and provide a lasting service.

At Dojo Dolls, we take great pride in the craftsmanship and quality that goes into each doll. We are deeply committed to providing our customers with a practice partner that mirrors the realism of human proportions, but with the durability to withstand extensive use.

Our dolls, made from premium cotton materials, are robust and designed to last for many years. We believe this speaks volumes about our dedication to quality and the satisfaction of our customers.

Join us on this journey. Experience the freedom and the joy of practicing Shibari anytime, anywhere, with your very own Dojo Doll. Together, let's make the art of Shibari accessible to all.

Welcome to the family, 

Frederik, Founder, Dojo Dolls

Do we deliver globally?

Yes, we deliver globally!

Can I return the doll if it doesn't meet my expectations?

Absolutely! If you're not completely happy with your doll, simply send it back to us. We'll give a full refund minus the shipping cost. Please note, this guarantee is effective for 30 days after receipt.

What happens if the doll gets damaged?

Our dolls are robustly constructed specifically for Shibari practice. So far, we haven't received any reports of a broken doll. However, if it does break while being used for Shibari, please send us a picture. We'll then either send you a new doll or refund your money. This guarantee lasts for 3 years.

How much do I need to pay for shipping?

We offer free worldwide shipping.

What is the typical delivery time?

We strive to get your order delivered as swiftly as possible. Generally, our delivery time falls between 3-7 days in US and 6-10 days for international orders. 

What is the lifespan of a Dojo Doll with regular use?

With proper care and maintenance, your Dojo Doll can have an extensive lifespan. Although there's technically no specific limit, we estimate that the doll should last between 5 to 15 years under regular use.

What are the dolls made of?

Our dolls feature a surface crafted from high-quality cotton.

What are the doll's dimensions?

Our original doll stands at a height of 77 cm / 2 feet 6 inches and our big doll is 160 cm / 5 feet 3 inches. The dimensions are crafted to closely resemble human proportions.

What type of filler is recommended, and how much should I use?

We recommend using polyester fiberfill because it is affordable and provides excellent results. The amount you use depends on the desired firmness of your doll. For the small doll, we suggest using 1.8-2 kg, while for the large doll, 2.3-2.7 kg is ideal.

Can I use other types of filler materials?

While polyester fiberfill is our recommended choice for the best balance of firmness and cost-effectiveness, you can experiment with other fillers, such as shredded foam or microbeads, to achieve different feels. However, keep in mind that these may impact the doll's weight and flexibility.

Do you only offer a female version of the doll?

Due to popular demand, we’re excited to announce that a male doll and a plus-size female doll are in the works! We’re aiming to launch them at the beginning of February.

How do I clean and maintain my Shibari practice doll?

Our Dojo Dolls can be machine-washed on a gentle cycle at 20 degrees, but we recommend emptying the filler before washing. For minor stains, simply use a damp cloth. To preserve the doll’s quality and ensure longevity, dry it on the lowest heat setting in a dryer.

How should I store my Shibari practice doll when not in use?

To maintain the shape and quality of your doll, store it in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight. You can keep it in a storage bag or a soft cloth cover to protect it from dust and dirt.
