| Depends if you're getting more than one. If not, I'd shell out for the most expensive one (I forgot the name of it). If yes, buy one expensive one and one cheap one and see for yourself. Google around and look for testimony on the material texture. If people seem generally satisfied with the texture, then go for the economical option, or compromise for the inbetweener. ======= On a side note, I'd suggest saving the money and investing in an onahole instead. NLS has some interesting stuff. Pm me for details you dirty animal. |

| Mellow is right though. Get an onahole. You wont be able to get off from rubbing your penis on a pillow. |

| You must be buying a custom dakimakura, I tend to avoid those as the quality of them isn't as good as the ones that are official (either standalone or as BD and magazine bonuses). |

And uh... just so everyone knows, I'm only gonna use it for hugging purposes. I'm not gonna buy something pretty expensive just to stick my dick in to. Then get the cheapest skin. It's a fucking pillow. |
Hulmy said: I have some loose change hanging around in my PayPal with nothing to spend it on, so I have decided to buy a dakimakura. (body pillow for anyone who is unfamiliar) I was just about to buy one when I noticed there were all these different kinds of materials you can get and I really have no idea what any of it means. Here's a picture. Is there any noticeable difference between the materials, or should I just forget it and get peach skin which costs nothing extra? I'm aware that a lot of people on MAL hate this kind of thing and wouldn't be caught dead having one, but I figured I should ask anyway just because there's a chance I could get a serious answer. P.S. No hate posts telling I'm a weeb or something, please. An official daki cover can cost anywhere from $80 to $250 (closer to the latter, most often). If that's "loose change" then just man up and buy the most expensive option for whatever this is you're buying. Custom ones are cheaper - but they are also cheaper quality and not worth spending a dime on. Seriously, custom ones are shit. Even the free giveaway ones that sometimes come with volumes of dengeki are better - let alone the real merchandise ones. I hope you realize the actual pillow is a separate purchase as well - and body pillows (especially ones the perfect size, as the covers the Japanese make don't fit our usual body pillow size by about a few inches, pillow being too short) are actually pretty pricey, so another 80 or so dollars on top of the rest. |

I doubt people order a body pillow from Japan just for their health. I was only stating a fact, but yeah they could also order one for sexual purposes or just to have a little sister to snuggle if they don't have one (non-incest related). |

Hulmy said: I had no idea that there were official and custom ones. I do want to get what a pay for, so maybe a custom one is a bad idea. And Tallon I do know that the pillow is a separate purchase and I could always just add more money to my PayPal later on. So no problem there. If you are picking "skins" it's not official. If you are picking images, it's not official. If you are not buying it from a site like amiami or another reputable place that only sells official goods, it is not official. If you find it on ebay it has like a 90% chance of being unofficial. If you find a site that is in English and does these on a per-order basis, they are incredibly likely to be not official. Official daki are very obvious but also hard to get due to selling out from preorders, not being overly mass produced, and being expensive. Some of the lower end ones are easier to find, like those K-ON ones with two different characters, some promotional ones, or something like this biribiri one I got from a Dengeki that I just have folded up because I don't like the design and have no big pillows. The nice ass ones are not cheap and are not the easiest to find - let alone find and be sure they are the real deal before having it in your hands. You don't have to worry too much about official I suppose, if you don't care too much and can find something that is at least "alright" quality for a reasonable price, and that won't fade in a week (another issue with customs). |

| Bought mine in an Anime Convention, so I have no idea but I think it's probably Preach Skin (No additional cost) 'cause the fabric is gradually having this rough texture when I don't even sleep/use it. Think it's better to just buy the most expensive one. |

| As a final comment, I'd like to tell the OP that if it really is just for hugging purposes, try to get one that looks and feels good, but most of all one that wont tear or break after 3 months. |

So... does that mean a custom dakimakura will turn to shit after a few months? Because I don't really want that... I'm sure there are some custom dakis that are fine, I just don't know of them. Ask around in communities that would know better (/a/, /jp/, maybe even god awful reddit), and look around to find where people typically buy customs from. They will never be the same quality - but I'm sure you can find some nice unofficial dakis that people are happy enough with. I just can't help you there because I don't know, but I have heard plenty of people happy with unofficial dakis just fine, so it's not out of the question as long as you're okay with not the highest quality imaginable but perfectly acceptable quality instead...just make sure you find where you'll get that (and where it'll last) and not SHIT instead. |

Ah, thank you. I'll save up. Though I'm not really sure how to tell the difference if I look online. It doesn't really say that it's official or custom, I can't see it anyway. There are specific manufacturers that make them, Cospa is one along with Union Creative and Movic, there are a few others. |

| As for...anime pillows? I honestly don't have much to add other than does it matter what material as long as its pillow like? |

Well, I have an official anime cushion (figured it's close enough) and I don't have either of those problems lol Official pillow covers (including the small ones!) won't have these issues because they are printed professionally. Most custom sites/people don't have the same fabrics nor the same high-cost devices needed to print it and give it a long life span. |

| I'd just go with peach skin. Natural Velvet sounds nice as well, since i'm guessing they mean the color will be velvet. But if you can't tell the difference I'd just go with peach skin. |
