Pros/cons of owning a dakimakura?
Are you embarrassed? Do you ever need to hide it or explain it to anyone? What do you say?

Pros: I get to cuddle with my waifu and kiss her while feeling safe and secure in bed.
Cons: I rarely use it because I'm terrified of damaging the pillow case and ruining it.

Also, the ones made with the really nice fabric snags and pills insanely easily. If you don't know how to put it on correctly right away, it's going to get snags before you can even use it. It's also a bitch to clean if you don't live alone.

>>14014699
Pros: I have never slept so comfortable in my life before. I lay on my side while hugging the daki and I sleep like a baby. It's so cozy, warm, smooth and soft
Cons: As I don't want bootleg covers, it can be expensive. But it's worth it. And you can get cheaper legit ones, like pic related.

At first I thought I would be embarrassed showing it to anyone. I'm sure I could tell what normies think when seeing it. But now I simply couldn't care less, the comfy sleep story above is so true everybody should try it. Bonus points if I can have a qt 2D on my bed to cuddle with.

I sleep extremely well with them, much better than I ever did before. I can't sleep well without them anymore. The only covers I own are the original releases, which can never be purchased ever again. They are expensive but extremely worth it, especially if you get one of your 2d wife. Its a much better experience if you get one of a character you genuinely care about.

Arms around it to start with, and both legs too or at least the "upper" one so the daki provides support.
As for the head, I keep the daki as low on the bed as possible, so I just snuggle its top. I still rest my head on a regular bed pillow. Am I doing it wrong?

I live with a couple of housemates and they dont really care.

My daki cover is pretty lewd but no nudity so it's socially acceptable. Also, it's not like I go out of my way to show it to people, but I don't hide either.

I have a bad habit of drooling in my sleep so my daki sometimes smell like shit. My fental hygiene is fine so please don't lecture me.

So I have to wash my dakimakura once a while.

It's really comfy you should try it at least once.

Then perhaps you should learn that different individuals have different priorities, in this case they're functionality vs form.

Some old man on the street, he wears beat up faux-leather shoes, chinos and a polo that clash in colours, and a duffle coat to go with his backpack. To some he looks like a loser manchild. But to most he's a professor, and they only care about how well he deliver his lectures, not how he dresses.

On the other corner. a 20-something in designer supple leather sneakers, navy blazer and khakis as recommended by esquire, and a tried and true pair of clubmaster. His hy youth hair is well groomed, and from his mouth hangs a vaper. Dreamy, sophisticated-looking individual right? Well he still folds sweaters for a living.

I don't get the appeal of dakimakura covers. It's not like you can see the design in the dark with your eyes closed anyway, so you'll end up having to use your imagination anyway. Seems like a lot of people buy dakimakura because it's the hip "otaku" things to do.

dakimakura are the best. I never could sleep before I got one, now I sleep like a baby. it's so comfy. I can't sleep without them anymore.
I don't care if people see them. if they're the type of person who lowers their opinion of me based on owning one, they aren't the type of person I care about in the first place.

they're kinda pricey I guess. I have a decent job and no bills so it's nothing that bad for me.
my biggest problem is finding ones I actually like. I don't like the super lewd ones or ones that look like you're about to rape the girl. they're fucking awful.

If you want the best, the recommended one is the A&J DHR6000. You can find it on Amazon JP, but it's not cheap (around 9200 yen + shipping).
You'll need a proxy/forwarder but that's the easiest and cheapest part.

Please note that the typical length for doujin covers is 160, not 150. That one is used by lower quality official covers and bootleggers. Should you need a 150 pillow though there's the DHR6001.

Yeah, I don't really get it. 90% of what comes out has one side that's just fluids and vag and whatever else. Some have both (like the Grisaia ones). Is it a sex aid for that many people? I'm no prude and I get it if that's what people want, but you'd think there'd be a bigger market for more cute stuff. Bootleggers seem to have a lot more of it.

Also, unrelated, but I just got my first A&J made cover (previously had p80 and slolita, along with some hobbyheart bootlegs) and it's another level of quality. I don't think I can go back to any other maker after this.

the more expensive ones are more durable and pleasant. two-way is really cozy. the default is still pretty good, just expect it to wear a bit faster.
they ship to USA, so I'd assume they ship to EU, too. you just have to find it in the dropdown menu, and it's all in runes.
I found a fitting pillow for my old ones at target. it's kinda squishy after 7 years of use but it serves the purpose. I'd assume you can find one in whatever the local EU equivalent is. Probably IKEA or something.

Brace for an alarming price increase from the total for intercontinental shipping. shit's fucking 15000 yen shipping +2000 delivery unless I'm somehow managing to look at things wrong.

Okej thanks for the help.

Looked a little at the site now and they do indeed ship to EU(Sweden).

But from what I can see the shipping is free if you buy over 10.000yen within Japan and 15.000 overseas, unless I got that totally wrong and Google translate is way out of the world.

If that's so it's perfect to buy 2x Dakis for a total of 15.000 yen and get free shipping.

Well, that would make more sense than what I read it as. I just assume the worst every time I see a large number associated with money. I've never paid over one hundred for an import daki, let alone 200 after shipping paypal notification only said Y9500/$80.33, too. I was just waiting for it to jump up to $200something.

You got it right. I was also thinking of getting two to get the free shipping. 160cm for me and only 2-way tricot, so it's perfect.
I might add that I emailed them some time ago to ask if they were willing to undervalue the package to avoid customs. Unless I fucked up everything (both question and answer were in Japanese) they replied they are willing to do as long as we accept all responsibilities in case of troubles.

It might be worth your time to get two copies. Seriously, within a year (significantly less depending on your facial hair, sleeping habits, material quality) you'll find the cover is not as smooth as it was, there'll be piling and stains that won't come out. Having a backup is not a bad idea if you can get it for cheaper.

Yes, it's correct. The prefecture is mandatory in Japanese addresses, but you could probably leave the field blank. But as there's a * next (meaning required) you could use some appropriate field from your country's address (like region/county/whatsoever).

Is http://www.animedakimakurapillow.com/ legit /jp/? I think I know the answer, but wanted verification. My best friend recently bought his first one there and has been holding it over my head ever since. Says he loves it and that I need to get a daki too. I'm pretty sure but aren't those bootleg? If so, why are they bad? Furthermore, where would be the best place to get legit dakis that I can easy navigate too/pay for? I'm new to this, but really want one.

Side note: my waifu is Hoshii Miki from iM@S. I can't find any good dakis of her, much less non-lewd ones. I searched for that on good images to see what different ones there were, obviously only like 4 that don't even look like her that much. Am I missing any that are on Japanese websites or something?

Damn near anything that is print on demand is bootleg. The one exception is Chinese sellers, some of them (like Slolita) print on demand but use their own artists.

>If so, why are they bad?
They use art from others and sell it. Generally, their material is not as high-quality as Japanese makers. If you just want something easy and don't care about the moral implications, neither of these will probably matter to you.

>Furthermore, where would be the best place to get legit dakis that I can easy navigate too/pay for?
Most legit dakis are going to be sold in places that require a proxy, especially yahoo auctions. The one big exception is mandarake, which is pretty easy to navigate and has a whole English site. Some legit ones are not that expensive, but others go up to $300+.

>Side note: my waifu is Hoshii Miki from iM@S.
I didn't find any on mandarake, but this seems like a nice one available on yahoo auctions.

There are a number of proxy services that will let you buy things from yahoo auctions without much trouble, but I haven't personally used any of them. Fromjapan and yokattaweb both are popular. In all seriousness, if you have detailed questions, the dakimakura subreddit is really good at answering questions (or at least it was a few months ago, I hear the guy running it is kind of getting out of the game). There's resources there with other proxy services and more in-depth guides.

のどる (nodoru) looks like some half-assed hiragana version of Noodle, so it probably means the same thing. That cover is drawn by Noodle, according to slolita website, so it makes sense.
Many slolita covers are or have been available on Toranoana under circle names 絶対萌域 and 二次元収穫祭 (the one you've ordered, right?). I don't think TnA sells bootlegs, you just paid it more. The Taobao store is probably the cheapest option, but you need a proxy and navigating in Chinese (as if learning moon wasn't enough). But you could use the international storefront on Aliexpress:

I really need to pick up more acid in the future so I can re-experience that night again and again as the only other time I am able to experience such feelings is when I am able to dream lucid.

For some reason, I thought I'd seen this daki cover on Amiami not too long ago, and I was just heading back there to preorder it only to find that I was totally misinformed. What's my best hope of finding one?

Someone over on /buyfag/ said to find a "chink bootlegger" to vector it for me. Anybody know of any good ones? I know I could go to /w/ and someone there might do it for free before the year is over, but there's no guarantee of it being picked up, of the quality, or even of the vectorer being properly chinese.

You can't estimate exact sizes from such a small preview picture. You also need to take into account a small amount of bleed, we don't know if the preview is trimmed or not.
Anyway probably the actual cover is 50x160cm, as most are today. If you really need it to 150 for printing demands, and you're going to trace the image, you can easily fit it the best way you like.
White margins on the sides would be ugly IMO. A better option would be to trim some white space in the other direction, especially on the top part.

>>14060820
No info around. Preview pic suggests 50x150, but it's just an estimate.

With the exception of on demand printing by a few circles (read the thread), you can say they are really hard to find if you miss the event/mailorder preorder. Especially good ones by popular circles. The few specimen available may come at a pretty premium price on the secondhand market (Mandarake/YAJ). Still worth checking though if you're looking for a particular one.

Owned a daki for 4 years and surely cant sleep without it anymore. I live alone so its not hard to conceal them if it comes to that. Only a few know i even have them. Pillows are DHR6000 and one older from A&J. There are basically no official Miku dakis, but Slolita and AChobby have really nice ones. So many quality prints to choose from really good artists.

Would like to add some pro's too. I shower more and keep myself much cleaner. You also need to trim your beard and avoid sharp fingernails regulary.

You're a lucky anon. That cover is made by circle Fuji Sengendo, and on their website it's mentioned as "low stock" (as opposed to "sold out"), meaning you can probably order it right there. It will cost you 10k yen plus domestic shipping, proxy fees and international shipping, but you will have the original, genuine item. Forget about printing the image you linked, it will look like shit compared to the original one.

Top part of my daki, shitty camera, shitty lighting but whatever. Just felt like putting it there.

Pros: Never slept better before, and ofcourse you can cuddle with your waifu whenever you want (if you're tired, sad ...)

Cons:
- Reactions from other people, if you give a crap about that then don't buy it. If you just feel ashamed of it all the time and try to hide it from everyone you won't be able to enjoy it really. Only buy it if you don't give a crap about what others say or if you don't have people come over often (like me).
- Expansive
- If you suck at getting out of bed in the morning your waifu becomes your worst enemy.

It's the comfiest way to sleep. Plus it's really cute to look at your waifu before going to sleep and seeing the cover every morning.

I still live in my parents house so I don't have a lewd daki. They still thought it was pretty weird, but they didn't question it anyway because it's just a nice pillow to sleep with that happens to have a cute girl on the cover.

Riiiiight.
Anyways, as for your question about "what defines something as being obscene," the simple answer is grey area.
Anyone could argue that any pornographic thing doesn't have any literature/artistic value to it, and is therefore obscene. You can just as easily (usually) argue that it does have value.

I'd say go for it (especially if it's that Miku cover, could easily say she's 18+), even if you somehow get in trouble (which would be really unusual with a daki cover, since there isn't any sex going on) just argue that you like the artstyle.

It's not the daki itself, but the length and shape that makes it so comfortable. Unlike a regular pillow made for your head, a body pillow is really long and about as wide as you are, so it is ideal for wrapping all four limbs around in the most comfortable position you can think of, giving individual support and resistance to all of your muscles, and allowing them to relax more effectively. This simulates sleeping with another person to a small extent, but in fact it is more comfortable because you have a uniformly soft object that does not give off its own heat, letting you get as comfortable as you want which it and shift it around as needed to maintain that comfort. So yes, whether or not it has a picture on it, having a body pillow in your bed is in fact better for your sleep than having an actual woman.

>having a body pillow in your bed is in fact better for your sleep than having an actual woman
Except for the sex, of course. But there are workarounds After sex relaxation is the best.

Anon's words should be carved in stone anyway, for it's the ultimate truth.

Oh I thought you shot that photo of your daki, sorry.
It's drawn by Noodle, really nice. I have no experience buying on Taobao, anyone has a proxy/guide to recommend?

The other one, as >>14109425 correctly pointed out, is an old cover. But many Moejinja ones are or have been available recently on this site http://web.doujindou.com/view/58048.html
The Miku one is sold out but was rereleased in March. Maybe it will be printed again? You might add it to your wishlist to increase the chances.

Unless you're really, really fat and hopping around for a half hour is a great feat of endurance for you, after-sex relaxation, both physical and emotional, is all hormonal. You can get the same feeling with skillful masturbation and a good imagination. And then you get the benefit of having a daki over a bony, 98.6° F, constantly gesticulating mass of flesh that does not by nature conform to your fluctuating personal standard of comfort. Remember, even though there are physical aspects of it, love is all hormonal. You don't need a real person there to feel real love.

Just got my new daki. Got the bookstore card with the back illustration as well. Would have scanned it if could have have posted here.

I think i just became a fan of this company. They have good artists and most of the covers are not too lewd.

According to /ona/, the best tits around are the Busty Aichan http://daimaoh.co.jp/item1823.html
More expensive and hard to get (are on sale once a month and sell out in minutes), but are recommended by whoever owns them.

As much as I love Tony's style, I can't help but think these Shining Heroines covers are dumb. Both sides are exactly the same image, just some clothes difference. Not to mention it's just recycled illustrations, not drawn specifically for daki covers. I prefer ones with girls lying on a bed/sheets.
I can't wait for pic related, honestly.

You're right on the same face, but his girls are still hot. And I don't own a cover with his design yet, so I preordered that one.
I have my eyes set on many others by different artists though. I'll probably preorder pic related, by Happoubi Jin. This is simply on another level.

For the past two days since I finally acquired a dakimakura of my waifu instead of not-my-waifu, around 1700 I've decided to "take a nap."
Then I wake up at 600 the next day and just laid there for another hour or two. I've never felt better.
I'm going to have to call in sick for the rest of my life.

Just remember to shave daily if you have a daki, you don't want your stubble ruining your lovely waifu.

> Pros/cons of owning a dakimakura?
as others have said, comfy. Much better than tiny hug pillow

> Are you embarrassed?
I live alone so there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

> Do you ever need to hide it or explain it to anyone? What do you say?
The ones who have seen it with lewd covers are people of same type. When the other types come, I just replace the cover with blank one.

Except for maintenance workers. Thankfully they never said anything. Being gaijins help as well, I guess.

Depends on the material. Smooth polyester like COSPA covers use its pretty resilient to damage but 2way tricot is *very* prone to damage from beard stubble and sharp nails.

I have a long, full, soft, kept beard that I can never get rid of, and have never had issues with it damaging my dakis. None of it is stubble.
But this recent one is my first high quality fabric one. So hopefully that doesn't change.
I use conditioner on this thing.

The 2 loli daki guy here. Normally I'd prefer 1 girl dakis too, but I just wanted a good Kuro daki (she doesn't have a lot of dakis and they're mostly shit too) so I bought this one. It helps that I'm a big fan of Illya too but I don't really mind her being on it, I just want Kuro and this one was imo the best.
