/jp/, are dakimakuras really that comfortable?

I'm thinking of caving in and buying one, but I have no idea where to look, and how much one would cost + shipping. Also, do they come with character sheets, or are those separate? how do I make sure I'm buying genuine Japanese-made dakis, and not cheap Chinese knock-offs?

General Dakimakura thread, I suppose.

>> No.9103578

Get a body pillow from Bed Bath and Beyond. The cover is just for aesthetics and nodding off to sleep with a cute girl.
It's pretty comfortable, and it's nice to hug something when falling asleep.

As for the cover, get it from known, reputable sources or using a proxy service. But personally, it's not worth it. Up to $100 for a lewd cover? That's just otaku tax, they know you'll pay anything. Knockoffs printed on peach skin are just as nice, but hard to find in good resolution.
There was a site that specialized in doing custom dakimakura that shipped to America too. Forgot it though, you might want to look in the archives.

I find it hard to sleep with if you hug it while sleeping, it blocks my airflow making it hard to breath and sleep.

Where the fuck do I get a body-sized pillow in Latin America?

I don't give a damn about the cover, it's just that I'm used to hug something before nodding off like a big teddy bear or something similar but my teddy bear is like 20 years old and I'm going to die of asthma if I keep cuddling with it.

Get a better body pillow.

>>9103563
Yes, they are very comfortable. The higher quality covers are very silky smooth and soft to the touch, and fairly durable as well. It's also important you know what kind of body pillow you want though. There are squishy ones, and there are firm ones. I have both, and my squishy pillow helps me get warmer and is a bit easier to fall asleep with because it gives me a bit more freedom by conforming to my body and my grip. My firm pillow helps me stay cooler, and while it doesn't give me as much freedom to hold it how I want, it still feels good in its own right, and I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. I usually give my pillows turns, and change up every night. However, I do tend to use my firmer pillow for naps, because during the day it is hotter and I need it to help keep me cool.

Living in a fellow spic country, I'm disappointed by the weeaboos here.

I wouldn't mind if they at least had good taste in anime and japanese games, but 95% of the time it's these braindead mouthbreathers and headband-wearers who don't know anything about anime besides Naruto and Madoka, and claim that this is the best the medium has to offer.

>> No.9103749

>>9103735
Supposing I were to order one online, is there a way to know whether it's the soft or firm kind beforehand? I think I would like a soft one.

This circle has their own artists, do commissions, has a couple versions of almost every character imaginable, you can choose whatever material you desire, and their shit lasts forever.

http://www.dakemakura.com/top.html

I have one I bought two years ago and have slept with every night, washing it about once a week and it has not lost a single stitch or faded at all.

Not to mention they make yours FOR you. You have to wait a month or so but it is definitely the nicest of all the circles or brands I've tried - which is most of the big ones.

I slept with my cousin (I was 15 and she was 14) once.

I kinda liked her (I blame everything on the teenage hormone peak) so I thought I would get in her panties, but of course, I couldn't.

Sleeping with someone else was annoying as fuck, I'm just not cut out for that labor.

I don't want to derail the thread, but I have to say this:

>>9103740
I 'went back to society' some months ago, and noticed a guy from class liked animay-things. It had been some time since meeting new people, and it's not high-school anymore, so I thought revealing a bit of my hobbies and trying to share was fine.
"Have you seen Elfen Lied? It's really good".
This shit just never ends. It's bad enough in USA/Europe, but Latin America's entire fandom is plainly disgusting.

It's pretty nice, your arm that's facing the bed gets in the way though, and I usually wind up rolling over and sleeping on my back after a minute of spooning. It's nice having your dick press against her ass though, and it gets me hard and I start grinding. That's why they say "spooning leads to forking".
It's also really nice when you sleep on your back and she puts her heads on your chest, and put an arm around her.

I love mine. It's really soft and smooth, and it feels wonderful to hold it while you're sleeping. It's also nice to hold it while you watch anime or play video games.

As for buying one, the official dakis are expensive, but you do get very good quality. Of course, you can also find some really good unofficial dakis, and they're also a lot easier on your wallet.

Peachskin is really nice, but you can also pay extra for tricot, which is some really good material.
