Hello there,
I just got my Meiki Plush Evo and it was a hell of a time because I had some issues with DHL first and it cost so much to import it into my country... But I was so happy when I open it first. It was worth the stress at the end, the Doll feels really high quality overall.
Then I noticed that there is a hole ripped into the silk in deep in the entrance(somewhere in the middle of the doll) just after putting my fleshlight a second time in it, I was so frustrated because of this that I could get gray hair... There was so much stress involved and then something like this happened in such a short time. :(
--------
I tried to be careful when putting the fleshlight inside, pushed it a little bit in and then pulled it inside from the opening on the back, but looks like it was still not gentle enough.
I think there is no way to repair this properly but I guess I can't do more than ask for help, perhaps there are some tricks that I don't know. Is it possible to stitch it in a way, the issue it that I can't look inside but only feel where the hole is because it is so dense inside, this makes is also almost impossible to use a needle inside...
How bad is it to have a hole in the silk? I saw that there is coming a bit fleece lining out, but will this destroy the doll in short time?

@Sadwolfy We don't know how big that rip is nor where it is in the internal tunnel but in the short term this isn't an issue. As you've mentioned, the doll is very dense as we've used high quality stuffing and have overstuffed it. It's likely only tiny amount of fibers are coming out with each use? It would have to lose a lot before you feel the difference in the doll.
One general suggestion since we don't know where and how long the rip is (please use the following at your own risk):
One possible way to fix this issue is to use fabric repair glue. You may want to use an extra piece of fabric over the rip seam area when gluing to both reinforce the rip location and to keep the glue from getting on other areas. Basically get an extra piece of fabric that much bigger than the rip area, put glue in the middle of the fabric over an area covering more than the rip's length, fold it over "hotdog" style so that the glue is inside the fold. Insert this fabric right away before the glue dries into the tunnel where the rip is, unfold the fabric and press glue side against the rip to seal the rip. Follow the particular fabric glue's instruction for drying the curing of the glue. You can practice with no glue on the fabric to see if you are able to do this well since getting glue all over the inside of the tunnel is only going to lead to more headaches for you.
If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with doing the above, then you should skip this and just be more careful with the inserting of items into the dolls tunnel going forward.

Thank you so much for your answer and your help!
This is a much better answer than I expeced. To be honest I didn't even know about fabric repair glue. The hole isn't extremly big... I would say three fingers tall in the middle of the tunnel at the bottom.
I will try this out and take my time to avoid mistakes, also sending and update here if everything worked. :)
