Yes, it’s recommended. This love doll is a piece of art. She is beautiful. Got delivered on time. A little heavy but gives her a more lifelike feel. I been dreaming of getting one of these dolls for a long time. I really enjoy this product easy to use down to the very last bit. Thank you. I will be buying another product from this doll company again. I just wish doll companies made the dolls with curvier and thick legs to hold.
