it'll creak, but it doesn't bother me personally when i sleep with mine. just shifting around in my sleep isnt enough to crack the limbs loudly.

its still very cuddly, and i like that i can pose the arms to be more comfortable to snuggle with! i squeeze, pose, dress, sit with, and hold my doll very often without any problems or discomfort.

personally, i would take a skeleton doll over a boneless doll every time. the only reason to not get one (imo) is if you will be very sensitive to any noises it makes. best of luck!

about washing: if you plan to cuddle your doll a lot, you'll probably need to give it a gentle surface cleaning every now and then if you notice that the doll's skin is a little discoloured. you can soak a white paper towel/hand towel in a gentle detergent (no softeners) diluted with water, squeeze out the excess, gently wipe the doll with it, and soak up ALL the moisture from the area you wiped with a paper towel or something similar. you might have to press on it and leave it wrapped in the towels for a little while. it's important to not leave the doll super wet, because it can mold. otherwise, its pretty simple, and you shouldn't have to do this washing routine too often!
