I think they are cute, and if you take away all the things that people might do to them, it actually makes a really nice touch to the room... Kind of like a poster of your favorite anime/character

I think they're a good idea. I've never understood the hate behind them, myself. I mean, at the end of the day it's just a little personalisation. Do people look down on you if you had a poster of a favourite band in your room? Do people look down on you for having a mousemat that's got favourite characters from a film on it?

I doubt it. I don't understand where their contemptable hypocrisy comes from as soon as any anime / manga characters are involved. "Na man you can have this poster that you like, but have it on your pillow? Naaaa man, that's totally where the line has to be drawn!!"

Fuckin' idiots.

Dakimakuras are a thing to relieve stress with. I've had a lot of occasions where I wasn't feeling the greatest and hugging one of mine really helped me relax.

They should not be frowned upon, rather there are no legit reason to.

What people do with them has nothing to do with the pillow itself though. There will always be people out there who take things a little too far.

True, and I'm surprised no one compared the body pillows to the boob mousepads.

Do you mean a flat mousepad with a picture of boobs, or like an actual boob-mounded mouse pats?
The latter sounds like it would give you wrist cramp.

I feel like I'd get tired of whatever picture was on it pretty quick. Waifu doesn't even have any appropriate art, so what's the point? I guess I could get one with Senjougahara, but that's too mainstream.

But yeah that just looks like it would ache your wrists really quickly having it elevated like that.

I believe in freedom of expression of who you are. Personally I would never buy a body pillow or an anime product just because I'm not the type of person. I'll just continue to sit on my computer and watch anime.

I don't really get the hate they get, even from people who are into anime/manga themselves. They're just pillows with an anime picture on it.

body sized pillows are awesome. but body pillows can be freakin hilarious or just plaincreepy, depending on the context

How can I smile when I am filled with so much sorrow?

I don't own one, but I wouldn't mind if I did. I think they are super cute and probably fun to snuggle with, for me anyways. I'm not sure why someone would look down on someone for having one unless they were one of those people...or just really immature.

Idk, for me I like body pillows that have the character and they are normal, not naked, that's creepy.

But peeps here be saying that they don't like them because they don't have their favorite character, you know you can just get a custom one right? Since the actual Dakimakura is just a pillow case

Alright, I know I've said in the past that I'm not at all interesed in body pillow/dakimakuras, but fuck it.
If I could get away with it, I'd definitely have one.
And if I had to choose, I guess I'd go with either Rikka from Chuunibyou or Kobato from Haganai.
The only reason I can't get away with purchasing anything like that is because I live in a house of people (my parents) who wouldn't be too happy if I had a dakimakra.
It's rather frustrating.

Without reading any of the replies, I would like to say that I really like body pillows. Not when they go too far, but they are nice, warm and cuddly. Just the pillow in general is amazing.

I own one myself and it's very comfortable. It's also a big plus when your waifu or husbando is on your pillow lmao

Don't care for them, don't need one since I don't masturbate.

My friend has one of her waifu Pekoyama Peko, though it's SFW. It takes up quite some space, it seems (I've barely any space at home lol). And my parents would kill me if I got one anyways.

(but some do look kinda hot when they're naked or in some state of undress, I must admit)

This thread may be a bit old, but I wanted to "add my two cents" regardless.
I have two body pillows, but their cases have simple designs instead of being plain white with an anime character pasted on each side. People seem to have forgotten that body pillows aren't just "a thing that lets you hug your waifu/husbando". At they end of the day... they're still pillows, and if you've got a fairly large bed like me, it's nice to have one long pillow instead of two small ones side-by-side where your head is barely kept up if you're lying down in the middle.

But even then, I don't knock people for getting the "characters cases". Anyone who discriminates over someone's choice of PILLOW CASE is the one we should probably be more worried about, mentally.

I sleep with no pillows and I find them annoying when I sleep, but I think I can endure it for a Kaworu Nagisa body pillow. Mmmmmmmmm....

I mean if I cannot find/afford a Kaworu one, I'd still buy body pillows of other characters I like. After all, I'd like to cement my role of "Disappointment" to my family.

They keep thinking I still have a future in becoming a normal functioning member of society. They're still in denial.

Yes, it's pretty sad the fact you will never be able to do that to your waifu.
