How many of you guys have dakimakura? Are they actually fun to sleep with? How do you hide them from people?

I'm thinking of getting one myself but I'd like to know other peoples' opinions on them.

Show me your dakimakura!

[Anonymous No.]

Not so much fun as it is comfortable.
I dont bother trying to hide it.

[Anonymous No.]

Hide from who?

[Anonymous No.]

There is no one who ever enters my room so I don't need to hide it,
they're not "fun" to sleep with but it's a nice feeling to have such a big pillow,
its main-function for me is decorating my bed

[Anonymous No.]

I just have a normal, plain body pillow. It's blue. Depending on the amount of money I may or may not get for Christmas I'm hoping to purchase this cover.

I don't have one but I would just cuddle it. I think it's perverse when people do lewd things with their dakimakura. Just buy a sex toy or something, you're ruining it for us forever alone neckbeards.

You can masturbate with them if you're so inclined. Some materials make this easier.

>Are they actually fun to sleep with?
They're nice to cuddle with and help to reduce the blues you may or may not be feeling from dimensional seperation
I sometimes put a warm water-pouch in between the cover. Feels good.

>How do you hide them from people?
I put mine on the side of my bed in between the wall, from the doorway, you can't see it, but it's also not on the floor.

>I'm thinking of getting one myself but I'd like to know other peoples' opinions on them.
Go for one with an entirely SFW side, and, depending on if you want to use it for THAT, one with a lewdness on it. Also, cotton.

>Show me your dakimakura!
No, family's home, can't risk it. I'll give you the cover instead.

It's nice to snuggle up close to, but I wish it were bigger. I want to hold her up to my face and have my leg around her at the same time. I don't hide it and I don't give a fuck, I actually get a kick out of people's reactions. My mom said it's pathetic that my girlfriend is a pillow and a cartoon, then said it's worse that it's a japanese cartoon.

Someone post that ramen "pleasure cup" tutorial.

[Y10NRDY !kxh.1oTAkU No.]

I was just having a discussion on this subject last night.

I think the bullet points are:

- You don't invite people to your house that you don't trust
- You don't talk about them with people you don't trust
- When not in snuggle mode you have them obscured in some way.

*** It is probably advisable NOT to have hardcore ero-loli dakimakura if you live with other people because that's just too difficult to explain away as a novelty

[Anonymous No.]

I drew this about six years ago and still bust him out every once in a while to cuddle with. I don't particularly like Naruto any more but I'll always have a soft spot for Gai-sensei. I also have a Rock Lee plush that I sleep with so I have both of them.

I'm still surprised at how decent it looks for being scribbled in a hurry by a horny thirteen year old.

Agreed. I have canvas prints on other walls. I will note, though, the Kirino and Kiss x Sis are actually cloth posters which are pretty nice. The Shana is a life size wall scroll and I have a subscription to Megami and Nyantype so I like to revolve pinups in that area of the my room.

Ah, didn't see those black bars at the ends before, thought it was a poster. Sweet.

I dont have reason to hide my dakimakura. None will ever visit my place anyway. And I dont even care if someone finds out I own a daki.

This sheet was really expensive but worth of every yen. It's really nice to sleep with.

There's a ton on amiami.

Thinking of buying a couple for christmas.

But im scared as fuck of it getting stuck in customs and having to pay tax for every single item.

[Y10NRDY !kxh.1oTAkU No.]

>>8188190
The ones I have are by Chara-ani. I bought them from Hobby Search about a year or so ago. They're heavy cloth so they drape really nicely when hung up.

>>8188167
I'm pretty sure the friend I was having the discussion with stashes his under his bed or in his closet. The Reimu one I have pictured has an ero side so I make sure when I make my bed to have that side down and covered by other pillows and my FumoFumos and stuff.

I think that if I will buy daki it'll make my feel of desperation stronger

[Anonymous No.]

My camera is dead right now, but it's Tenshi in the bottom left corner. I've had it for about 2.5 years now, and I have other covers that I've tried, but I always switch back to her.

It's very soft, so it feels really nice to cuddle up with it at night. At first, I would hide it under the blankets when I left, but since then my parents have walked into my room with it 'out,' but they haven't really complained or said anything about it (or the rest of my merchandise, anyway), so I don't bother with that anymore. My friends who do come over every now and then know about it, so it's not hing to really hide from them either. It probably does help that it's not revealing anything overtly lewd, as that can probably be much more difficult to explain to others why you have it. You could probably 'ease' your way from SFW covers to NSFW covers, if you have to.

>>8188226
Wash your covers every now and then. Rinse it, soak it in some color safe detergent with water for 30-45 minutes, rinse it, and let it hang dry for 12-14 hours.

i had to draw my own dakimakura because I chickened out on getting it professionally printed. so it's not colored but i don't mind.

i put him on a normal pillow because he's too fat to fit on a body pillow. i usually have to hold something while i sleep so i hold him. during the day i put him inside of another pillowcase so nobody sees. if nobody's home i pull him out and lay on his belly and play my ds or read a book or poke and bite him

my boyfriend has an ero dakimakura of Rosetta from Kaleido Star that he sleeps with when i'm not able to be with him. he told me he didn't care if I got a dakimakura but i still hide it because the other side is pretty disgusting and i just don't want him to see it...

Well, fun is probably the wrong word. Having a huggable, big pillow in your bed is very comforting.
I like to compare them with the four-feet-tall teddy bears one gets as a child (actually, the "wtf is that thing in your bed"-factor isn't much different if you're an adult male…).

>How do you hide them from people?
I don't. The few people visiting me are expecting stuff like this.

If you want to still enjoy the dakimakura, then why would you want me to point out what I don't like about it?

It's actually hard for me to mention something I like about it. If I had to choose one thing I dislike the most, however, it would be the really terrible proportions. Seriously, just about every single one is wrong.
