So do any of you own dakimakuras?

[Anonymous No.]

Why would I want one? I can always cuddle with my mom

[Bern !FAGetWqs1I No.]

Yes.

[PRINNY !nLFbzB/0pw No.]

I own a few.

[Anonymous No.]

No

I just don't see the appeal. I can't sleep while hugging pillows anyway, so I would just end up laying on her stomach or something.

[Anonymous No.]

No. But I want one.
As far as I know, few/none of my favourite characters get dakimakuras, at least with artwork that appeals to me.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm honestly too embarassed to get one. So far i'm not a foreveralone, don't want to change that- if someone saw it i'd never live it down.

[Anonymous No.]

Who are /jp/'s dakimakuras of? Just Touhous?

You're mother is a dakimura?

I have the exact opposite problem, I cannot sleep without hugging a pillow. But I tend to flail all over the place when I sleep.

>>8326714
I have the same problem or that the covers I want are so hard to find.

[Anonymous No.]

I've had mine for a few months now. The only problem I have is that my bed is fairly small so she falls on the floor sometimes. ;_;

[Mismagius !.70fLDzJM. No.]

I always did consider purchasing one but I don't know a realiable place to buy em

[Anonymous No.]

maybe I am too much of a normal fag. but I've considered dakimakura's "a bridge too far". that if I get one I may as well kill myself cause I've gone to hopeless levels.

[Anonymous No.]

I've always liked this one since I saw that one Swedish or whatever he is otaku guy has one and I think her touge sticking out is really cute.

The thing is all the pillows I ever see them in are really floppy and don't seem like they would give much support.

There are alot of really cutes dakis and I would love to have ran Yakumo or a Dog days one just to hang on the wall.

Do you mean melonpan, the German guy who puts up a load of his videos walking around with dakimakuras?

The more you can appreciate fantasy the better. Its a shame that is is associated with escapism from your supposedly shitty life.

Why can't I crossdress as Marisa without that stigma ;_;

Wow this one is really nice, because she isn't crying like she's being raped. Unlike 99% of dakis.

[Anonymous No.]

Sounds like more of a matter of admitting you're at such a hopeless level...
And if owning a dakimakura is enough to make you commit suicide, the hell kind of system are you using to judge your life?

She's so cute.
That bathing suit is great too.

I have $100 or so from christmas money combined, and was thinking of finally getting one to sleep better. I already hug my pillow, it just has no covers.
I'll have to hide the price or catch the package at the door myself, or they'll bitch at me for wasting money instead or working.

>What's a dakimakura?
Dakimakura are a type of pillow from Japan, usually 150cm x 50cm. Dakimakura are also known as "hugging pillows". They usually have anime or video game characters printed on the cover.

>Where can I get one?
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/ (search for "dakimakura")
http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english (search for "pillow")

>Where can I get the stuffing?
http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=COS-9194&template=default/

You could also try some local bedroom store. But remember, the stuffing should be the same size as your cover. If it's too big or too small the character on it won't look good.
Usually covers are 150cm x 50cm but some aren't. Make sure to check the size of yours before buying the stuffing.

>What can I do with a dakimakura?
You can hug it, cuddle and sleep with it or simply look at it.

>How do I wash my dakimakura?
Instructions are usually labelled inside.

>Is there a way to get a custom printed dakimakura?
There is, and it's actually also quite cheap. There's a seller on eBay called janelee922. If you have big enough pictures he'll print them on dakimakura cases for you. It currently costs 25$.
The quality of the material and print is really good. I washed mine 4 times already and the colors are still beautiful. He also sells cheap stuffings.
Some links you'll need:
oreno.imouto.org/post?tags=dakimakura - High-Res dakimakura covers (You need an account to see most of the covers but making one only takes a second)
http://www.ebay.com/sch/janelee922/m.html - That guy's eBay page. strg + f for "custom dakimakura".

I have the pillow, but no cover
but sadly, as a result of having this pillow for so long, I can't sleep without hugging a pillow.

I also can't sleep without hugging a pillow, but I only have a normal sized pillow to hug. How do the larger ones like the ones used in daimakuras work for that?

[Anonymous No.]

I've got two. Good times.

[ゼロの !TSuKAimAx. No.]

I own many, currently 22 and planning for several more in the near future. All more /a/ than /jp/ related.

If you had been here longer than a couple hours you'd know the answer to this question, you dumb fucking nigger.

Make a New Year's resolution. Don't ever browse /jp/ again.

Well I use one body pillow as my regular pillow and then I snuggle my hugging pillow, it takes a while to get used to but it really depends on how you end up positioning yourself naturally.
