What does /jp/ think about dakimakura? I've heard that they're

They have no benefit besides "you can hug a pillow with a picture of a cute girl on it if you want to."

>>14506263
I could still justify buying one, for that reason.

>>14506302
Feel free.

>>14506201
If you need to feel and try to justify yourself to buy a Daki you should probably not, you either want one or not.

And if you have a waifu and love her enough you should not even have to ask if you should buy one.

>>14506332
/a/ is that way waifu boy.

>>14506201
What health benefits are we talking about here?

>>14506423
Thought /jp/ was for the waifus and onaholes.

>>14506201
>great for your back, and have other health benefits.
Is this real or is it just some demi-normal's excuse to buy a weebsack?

>>14506435
Helps your back and neck, because you're no longer sleeping on your stomach or back. Because you'll be hugging the pillow. It allows you to distribute your weight better to relax your joints. These sort of pillows were used before the whole waifu thing, usually used by pregnant women.

Downside is being judge by your family members or friends if you have them.

>>14509119
Only if you're a normie

Pointless because you'll just be sleeping in the dark anyway and they don't make good decoration. Dakimakura are a meme, people buy them because they think it'll make them Tru Otaku™.

>>14506201
Ignore >>14509770 and listen to >>14506475. Get one and you'll never sleep without after trying it.

>>14509994
Thanks anon.

Does anyone know any good sites where you can buy doujinshi dakimakuras? I don't want any shit quality bootleg stuff.

>>14506475
This!
I had to have a body pillow because of lower back problems and it's helped. I've been able to sleep much better as well. It's just a fun bonus to get a daki cover with a cute girl on it.

>>14509994
>>14509770
Here's a compromise between these two: buy a good pillow (latex pillows are amazing, albeit expensive) and browse your favourite girls on /c/ or Safebooru before you nod off. Then, hug the pillow while you're trying to go to sleep. I do it every night and it works great for me!

>>14511467
This is what I do. The pillows themselves are great, but the covers are not practical to use.

Normie shit to try to look like a whacky otaku online.

>>14511309
Mandarake and yahoo japan auctions for old comiket stuff. Some circles also have their own webshop, like AcHobby on taobao.

I want an Eirin daki.

Like this?

I wish less lewd dakis were more common. I would probably have one by now if there were more of them to choose from.

>>14512025
im pretty sure there are places that will make custom ones, just provide the pictures

>>14512025
Depends on where you buy it from. Lots of dakimakura come completely clothed and in no suggestive position.

>>14511944
yeah except with her tits covered on the left one.

>>14512807
You can get that picture printed on a dakimakura.

>>14512849

>>14512849

I know, I've been using a latex pillow to rest my head for years. Nothing beats it. I'd love to have a latex filling for my daki, but no one makes those in 50x160cm.

>>14511309
In addition to >>14511529, here's some doujin circle webshops. Many old designs will be sold out, and for those available expect to need a proxy or a forwarder, as they usually don't ship overseas. Quality will be top notch though, especially if you get an A&J (Lycra or even better Lyctron). P80 is very good too.

http://ever-green.on.arena.ne.jp/main_t.html (long time professional illustrator Carnelian, every 2-3 months puts up a new cover for preorder. If you like her designs you need to stalk her website)


This shop specializes in doujin products (as you can tell by its name, duh). There are covers by many circles, some can be bought for cheaper on the respective website (see above), but this shop is useful for all the other ones.

The following circles can print on demand, so you can order anything from their catalog. Don't know about quality and their design are not the best around, but they're original (and Yumemiyasan's are usually non lewd, for concerned people). Sooner or later I'll get pic related. Their new Sakuya one is not bad either.
