>Where do you buy all of your dakimakuras/figures without seem like a pedo to your parents?

you buy them someplace your parents aren't.
Generally this entails moving out of your parent's basement to a 1-bedroom and paying rent.

If you have enough money for lewd pillows and figures, you should have enough money to pay for a place to fucking keep them.

Your parents will see your toys and be relieved you aren't hanging out at the nearest elementary school trying to make friends.

My sister once told my parents that we were having sex. I'm sure their fears of me being a pedophile wouldn't come from a box that has "pillow cover" on the customs slip.

Infact, I don't even think they read those. I recently got one that had "doll" on there and they didn't ask me anything about it. Before that I got one labled "toy no battery", and before that, one labled "books" (let's just say that they they weren't books). They either don't know about the slips or they just don't care.

My parents are respectful enough not to open my mail so I doubt it is a problem and they are polite enough not to comment on my figs.

>>8115054

Actually, most parents do know.
They are just understanding. Or somewhat delusional on what those things are or are used for. Perhaps a bit of both.

>>8115054


to tease you or because your were really having sex?

>>8115061
I'm pretty lucky to have parents that don't mind, though admittedly I only have a Touhou H collection and a few plushies. I'd get a dakimakura if I could find/design one I liked.

> or because your were really having sex?

Don't ruin this by asking for an answer. I want to believe.

>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?

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. Or, if you really, really want to ruin it: Cum on 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".

No, they costing way too much. My mom can't afford it.

I like to think it is a little sister as well, older sisters are disgusting.

>>8115068
First off, it was nothing illegal but apparently not what's considered normal for a brother and sister. Didn't seem bad to me, honestly. We were in bed watching a movie and I was massaging/lightly tickling her, like my parents did to me and still do to her. I went down a few times barely below her panty line in the front because of the small hiccups she'd make. I even tried to I remove my hand a few times but she would grab it and put iy back where I was tickling her and then make a noise.

This sounds way worse when I type it out.

>>8115101
That was slightly hard for me to read. But I'm sure some of the /jp/-ers are getting hard from that.

I got a bootleg, any tips as in regard to hand washing it?

I bought one from him. Looking good to me.

Don't feel bad about yourself. Simply don't do it again.

>mfw when your parents don't have a respect for your hobbies

Melonpan's father seems like a cool guy.

I live with my mother, so obviously she's seen my figures. She's commented that she thinks some of them are cute, and it's not like she can complain or anything since she's not the one paying for them.

I have no idea, how my parents would react if I were to get a daki.
They're fine with me watching anime and getting some anime merchandise and such, but I'm still not sure they would react positively.
I just want to hug my waifu ;_;

My mom actually things the figures I get are cute/cool.

Dad never really says anything not sure if he just doesn't give a shit or he just trys to block it out

I do have a dakimakura cover but Its hidden away in my closet.

Saving it for when I move out, I think that oversteps my line of my comfortableness with my parents

Not unless you're getting all that money from your parents

>>8115307
who is this guy?

>>8117528
Pete Townshend of The Who.

I used to be a fucking junkie so my parents are fine with my weeaboo shit.

I could probably have a real doll that looked like an eleven year old transgendered prostitute from Thailand and they'd be fine with it.

OP, grow some balls. Just call it a novelty item if they ask. Tell them you're doing some post-modern satirical shit about otaku living. Or you could just start leaving coke straws and whip its and shit in your room. I used to do that.

>>8115039
In America? Are you serious?!?! Even if a store like Spencer's did sell it, you had better believe the hipsters behind the counter would make a scene about it.

>>8115287
I'd buy it.

>>8117582
I'd buy you, anon. And have sex with you~

>seem like a pedo to your parents?
How about not living with your parents. If you are underaged b& you shouldn't be on 4chan but I won't deny the fact taht there are a lot of people whether neet, hiki (or both) still living in their parent's house. That part would be a bit difficult since you may not want to move out but they already have lowered their expectations of you so it shouldn't matter.

How do you guys like to cuddle your dakimakura? Like what positions etc.

I usually fall asleep hugging her and when I wake up she's pushed to the corner of the bed. I kind of feel sorry for her.

laying on my side
head on corner/edge of pillow

like this

>>8117590
if you were "underage b&" You wouldn't be a pedo

>>8117667
Do you think a parent wouldn't think otherwise if their 15-17 year old old had a body pillow with sexual images of a character who looks 8-10. They'd still consider them a pedo.

>>8117678
MOM U DONT UNDERSTAND!!
ITS ART!!!

>>8117678
When I was 13-18 I felt like if I told anyone I wanted to fuck somebody more than a year younger than me then they'd call me a pedo.

I've got bootlegs myself. I don't hand wash them (because I'm lazy) but I just turn it inside out, wash it with cold water on the delicate cycle with a mild, unscented detergent. After washing, I'll put it in the dryer for about 40 minutes on the fluff/air dry/no heat setting.

Tada, one fresh, clean case.

I want to get a joke one of these for the humor's sake. Like, a sports car or a PS3 or something printed on the side.

Serious question.


Why would you want a "hugging" pillow?

>>8117750
Once you reach that level of soul crushing loneliness where you desperately crave for affection but find none to be had, those pillows will be all you have.

At least OP only has his parents to deal with, importing any of these things would probably get me arrested.

>>8117750
Same reason I collect figures. I think they look cool. I don't even hug mine because I'm afraid I'll get them dirty. I just leave them on top of my bed for eye candy

>>8117769
My dog will always love me. Not like I care much for chatty humans around me anyway, dog will leave me alone whenever I tell him to and he'll always come back when I call him.

why not just get a blank pillow and imagine it's wearing your waifu's face? No one will ever know

The most important things are a visa/master card and a place where the stuff can be sent without anybody noticing. But for real comfort you need your own place, there is no way around.

Quit whatever bullshit education you are doing right now, get a job and move the fuck out.
