The toy isn't new to me, but I know my drying technique is not efficient at all. I just learned that dry sticks are used for residual moisture and at max used for 1 minute (thank you TD).
How should I go about drying? Especially since the entrances are so narrow and difficult to air dry.
My technique now is to simply stand it upright in a towel to let it drain and then insert the sticks, but even after 15-30 minutes with the sticks inside, it's still considerably wet at the ends.
I can get it dry, but with the sticks doing 90% of the work.

Here's what I recommend:
1) Use gravity to drain excess water. This takes no more than a minute or two.
2) Twist a couple paper towels tightly into a tube-like shape and insert into the hole you want to dry. Apply pressure on the outside of the doll to compress the chamber around the paper towel, do this from multiple angles.
3) If you have a dry stick, use it now.
4) To make sure you're getting all the nooks and crannies, use an aquarium air pump. Insert the air hose to the rear of the chamber (don't press too hard, stop when there's resistance!) and let it run on a reasonable setting overnight (it shouldn't be going full blast and in fact that could damage the chamber and be very loud).
5) Use an endoscope (these are cheap on Amazon) to examine the chamber(s) of your doll for residual moisture. (There should be none). The endoscope is also ideal for periodically examining the chamber for mold or damage.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk and good luck!

@Namenick Just wanted to clarify on the use time for the dry stick, we mentioned that using the dry stick for 30 second to 1 min. should be enough for it to absorb the residual water inside most onaholes but it's not definitive 1 minute max. since "residual" could differ from person to person. As long the majority of the water have been removed from the toy before you use the dry stick it shouldn't take much more time to let it do it's work.
Another reason we recommend the short time frame of use is because we have seen people's post in other forums to just leave the dry stick in the onahole overnight. As a warning,this action could lead to the dry stick starting to absorb the oil content from the onahole and decrease the ability of the dry stick to absorb in future uses.
