>>34042Wow. I am at a loss for words. Archwiz is cheating on Ara with Carmelita. I cant believe you'd do this to your waifur. What will you do when she finds out? Anyway, what prompted you to buy another one? Do you sleep with both at night like that? It seems like it could either be cozy or smothering. Hope you're doing alright, dude.

>>34054Hey man. It's been up and down lately, but it's great to hear from you again.
Now that you say it like that, I'm a bit ashamed. I would never do anything to hurt her. :^(
I don't think she'd mind having some company while I'm away and I do my best to split the love evenly.
I really liked the Carmelita one and decided to go for it along with another inner. Turns out Comodo doesn't seem to have a solid standard of how much stuffing they should put into the pillows. Turns out Ara has been quite heavily stuffed this entire time, while Carmelita feels rather thin by comparison. I might try to equal out the stuffing later as there is a zipper to access the stuffing directly.
Sleeping with them both has been a bit squished, but quite nice! It gets really warm when I'm in between them. I am fully prepared for winter now.
Also, regrettably I am using Windows at the moment as this Intel NUC came with it. But I also got a Unicomp finally. Mine has a trackball on it. It has a low DPI, but it's quite nice to use.
Anyways, I hope all is well with you and I hope you have good days ahead. :^)

>>34057It's great to hear from you too, dude. Awesome keyboard and NUC! I expect to see your wizard's grimiore (sudo pacman -S waifur) in a few months (=ↀωↀ=)
Carmelita sure is qt, but I think you still like Ara the best. Until an Ayn one is released. jk :^) I still feel sort of conflicted about getting a daki myself, but if I do ever get one, it will be with the best fabric and print quality available. Because why would you spend any less on your waifur? The only problem is which character to get and the even bigger problem of what if the store does not have the character daki that you want.
How is that little NUC device? It looks cool. I also was considering getting something similar sort of like a rasberry pi or EOMA68 type device. Maybe Ill just buy another thinkpad idk, I also had a cyberdeck project on the backburner for a while.
Thank you for the kind wishes, I hope you have the best of luck too, dude. By the way if you're interested there is a bit of a programming colab project we are doing in the programming thread in /hob/. Stop by if you're interested!

this thread has convinced me to get a daki once I move out

>>34137Hey!
Yeah, Ara is still my love. But I still give Carmelita a lot of attention.
If you're sure you want a daki, just get an inner and a sleeve. You can always buy more sleeves.
Here are some shops:
Inner pillow I've heard is great (No slipping apparently) -
https://dakimakuri.com/shop/item/innerInner pillow that I use (150cm x 50cm) (Great, only gripe is that the sleeve slips around sometimes) -
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DHT7NPV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Some furry sleeves in these shops:
https://lemoncre.me/collections/all-products?page=1https://www.furrydakimakura.com/collections/dakimakuraEtsy also has a lot of them. You can find Fluff on there too.
The NUC works very well for what it is. 16 GB of RAM and an i5. Graphics aren't that great, but I can still run some games on it.
Cyberdeck sounds like a cool concept. I've gotta look into that.
And sure, I'll check out that collab project. Thanks for telling me about it. I wish I knew where to start with programming though. Haven't fully immersed myself in it to be honest.
Have a good one!

>>34137Also on the subject of dakis, make sure you buy the right size sleeves for your pillow. They often come in 2 standard variations: 160cm x 50cm, and 150cm x 50cm.

Honestly curious what type of person needs these. They are cute, but they seem like theyd be uncomfortable to try to sleep around.
No.34498
>>34495>Honestly curious what type of person needs theseThose who sleep on their side, especially so if they have wide shoulders or excess body fat. When the arm on the upside is rested, it compresses the chest and also puts strain on the shoulder joint. Equally so the hip joint and thighs are strained when a big fat wizard leg is allowed to hang freely. It's healthier to keep pressure off the genitals by forcing a gap between the legs too. It's why thigh pillows are sold wherever regular pillows are. Shove a pillow between your legs and you might notice an increase in comfort. Bodypillows also keeps fatties like me from rolling on to our chest in our sleep and suffocating to death several times each night. Even if you sleep on your back, the weight of a heavy pillow has the same effects as a weighted blanket. Also, when the sleep paralysis kicks in, it's nicer to see the waifu instead of the devil.

>>34495I find my daki uncomfortable to sleep with. I cuddle with her before I go to sleep and right when I wake up. I leave her on her side of the bed when I sleep. Its more of a security object then anything. Its pretty great to cuddle with if you're an anxious person. Very calming.
People will shit talk and judge you hard for having one though.

I have a CMD9150, it is (150cmx50cm which is the American standard, not Japanese.) I keep hearing that Dakimakuri sells a really good pillow that is a bit more expensive than the Comodo ones, but I hear it is much better. I heard that from a dakimakuri shill server, but I trust that it's pretty good.
Good luck and godspeed.

>>34665that was my original plan, i just use a crappy pillow right now without a cover and imagine for the last 2.5 years.. lol

>>34664>I ordered pillow from animedakimakurapillow(dot)com.These guys are huge scam you are better to buy a cover on that chinese ebay site and then depending on qality and how much to spend buy the inner from japan imported or get 2X stuffing from semi decent sell.
I feel bad for the weebs who buy a cheap inner as a good inner makes all the difference.
Remember to buy 3 way tricot for the cover.
>>34906>well that is quite expensive for just the pillow, does the quality for a pillow even differ that much?You are better paying for a quality inner right away if you can afford it but a half decent one is ok until then.
DO NOT buy anything from that dakimakura . com site it is a hustle targeting ironic weebs.

They actually are worth the money I swear by dakimakura.

I have one and it is superb it is wel worth the money to buy quality pillows do not buy a shit one or get scammed on them ironic weeb bait websites mentioned above for a pillow and if you buy one make sure you get it with extra stuffing at least 2.5kg or more.
No.35689
>>35383Royalpillow is US-based and pretty cheap; DHR pillows are from a Japanese company. I bought a pillow from royalpillow for around $50 about four years ago and it's held up reasonably well. The 7000H is currently unavailable on amazon, but the 6000 (160cm x 50cm) is in stock on amazon.co.jp for ¥15.5k (~$146), including shipping. For some reason, the same one is $252 on amazon.com, though. I've never tried ordering from co.jp, so I don't know how possible/difficult it is. You might just need a proxy/vpn.
No.35690
>>35689The following is compiled from the various research I have done without verifying it myself.
I have been told that buying the DHR6000 outside of JP is likely a scam with a fake pillow i am unsure if it is true or not there is said to either be incredible mark up or a fake product.
My pillow was an import and yes you do need to use a proxy but the cost of their service is not all too much considering. The money was well spent it is superior to memory foam and the best dakimakura you can buy I would buy more if I had the money.
You need a proxy serivce not a vPN if you want to order it to outside of japan!
Every night I sleep while giving my Waifu a cuddle the dakimakura is well worth it so if you are reading this and unsure please consider getting one because not only does it offer the beenfit of a cute anme succubus to cuddle it also is VERY good for your back and sleep.

Do not fall for the sites that target ironic weeb normalfags.
Unless a specific design is unavailable and there is no option to then stick to aliexpress because the quality of the outer will be pretty much the same and all that money saved can go towards a better quality inner which is very important and overlooked.

This is only tangentially related but every once in a while I wonder what it must be like to be some guy who works at a factory in some third world country producing cheap sex toys like sex dolls or that 20 lbs of ass and pussy thing. You know your entire existence is dedicated to helping random men cum. You are just a cog in some corporate machine dedicated to jacking off weird and lonely men everywhere. imagine you're the guy just packing silicon pussies into boxes all day long, one after the next in a seemingly endless line of identical pussies you know soon some dude somewhere will be cumming in, and to cap it all off your boss will be taking most of the profits while you do all the actual work. You must take the deal because you will starve and have no money which renders you completely helpless and unable to do anything or access any resources in society.
