I'm thinking about buying a dakimakura. Where does the rest of /jp/ get theirs from?

I'm looking for touhou dakimakura specifically. Also, from what I have searched so far most of them have a bad picture so feel free to make recommendations of custom service as well please.

>> No.6308947

You could probably find Touhou covers on Yahoo Auctions, maybe even eBay.

I dunno about that site, but I got my bootleg off ebay, and it's just fine. When you pay $100+ for a cover, you do know that the printed piece of cloth isn't what you're actually paying for, right?

These things literally take $15 at most to make. They just overcharge otaku because they know they'll buy them at ridiculous princes.

So the bootlegs are pretty much the same as the real thing, just not "officially" made.

>> No.6310961

I'm gonna help you guys out. The big question that arises is how to stuff your dakimakura. Unless you are willing to pay ass loads of money getting a pillow designed for these you are going to need to improvise.

Go to your local big box store and buy a body pillow. Also buy a standard queen pillow at as close to the same firmness as possible. Put the body pillow in first, be careful not to break the zipper, it will be a tight fit. Fold the pillow in half to make it easier. Once that is done you will see why you need the other pillow. Cut the shell off of that one and measure out the amonut needed to fully fill your dakimakura and cut it. Give a few extra centimeters to be sure. Place inside and be careful while zipping up so you don't get any stuck in the zipper. Cuddle with your waifu and remember to treat her right.

>> No.6310974

>>6310961

Or just go to Bed Bath and Beyond and buy a body pillow. I would think that a "standard" size is about 150cm for dakimakura, and the body pillow measures to be about 146.5cm. It's roughly the same size. If it bothers you that much then you just stuff the top so those few centimeters get filled.

Don't know what you guys are talking about. Most US body pillows are 52cm by 130something cm. Mine was off by like 12cm or so length wise. That is why I needed to improvise.

Some people don't want to fuck their waifu.

My problem with buying through ebay is knowing in the back of my mind that even though it would have cost more, I could have had a better physical form of mai waifu.

However, the lack of any non-bootleg Saber dakimakura that doesn't have her in some compromising position has prevented me from following through.
That, and it's fucking inconceivable that no one made one.

They tell themselves that in order to feel better. Sometimes they even really start believing it. The truth will come around though, and they'll feel it every so often where it hurts. It might take a while, but the loneliness will creep up on them and some nights they'll probably feel restless or like they want to try. Humans need other people. That's just how we are. If you aren't like that, you're lying to yourself, fooling yourself, or have severe mental instability which is outside the scope of every single person on this board. Everyone here likes to say and think they have all these problems, but the truth is they are simply looking for excuses. Good luck anons.

Sounds to me like you still need more training.

Anyway, I order most of mine from 1999. I currently own twelve dakimakura and my first was a bootleg Fate I bought on ebay. It's made out of some kind of imitation silk that feels much better than even the official smooth covers. I can see it not lasting as long as the others, considering it's not made as well as my official ones. Still, I like it all the same.

My most recent dakimakura purchase was this one, and also the Anya one. Should be in the mail soon.

Janelee uses peachskin. It's close enough-- it's very soft.
The official one that I own uses polyester and I don't really think it would be as nice to sleep with (I only use it as a wall display right now, anyway).

I let my cat sleep on Mariya all the time and there isn't a single scratch on it.
I also know that she'd freak out if I tried to wake her up or pick her up, so I just leave her be.

Not really. As far as sexual desires go, which is what we're talking about, I'm perfectly fine masturbating. The pleasure I get from my butt alone is more than enough to satisfy me.

For emotional desires, I have my waifu, and, yes, I do feel the loneliness every so often when I can't hold her, or be held by her.

But sexually, I'm perfectly content how things are.
