/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Posting again.

>Has anyone ever seen any dakis of Shirasaka Koume? I've looked at most of the big retailers and even some bootleggers but I've never actually seen any designs with her.

If you're going to turn it into a general please include a title so it can be caught by filters. Thank you.

I just got back from a week long vacation. My father stayed home.

I walk into my room and can instantly tell that something is "off". Quickly realize that he washed my bed sheets. He just wanted to do something nice for me.

The thought of him touching my pillow makes me cringe. He almost certainly saw her lewd side. I feel violated.

I am giving her a bath right now, but I know I will never be able to purge the memories of this tragic event.

I haven't felt this betrayed since I walked in on my best friend giving my topless 3DPD girlfriend a massage, back in high school.

Do I get a new daki, kill my dad, or both?

>>15727236
Are you really gonna turn this into a fucking general? Fuck off.

>>15727236
There was literally no need in a new thread

>>15727252
I've found this one from Shiokonbu of circle Laminaria, it looks very nice:
http://siokonbu.com/077
Too bad it was for sale a few months ago and is now not available. I already checked Mandarake and YJA and it's not there right now. Try stalking those two sites and good luck getting one.

I could only find one of Takagaki Kaede from the same artist for 15k.

I'll never understand the culture of generals.
What the fuck is the point of formalizing everything?

Awoooooooo

>>15728579
Laminaria's Koume. I can recognize that from thumbnail but never expect she make it through 3D. Last thing I remember went through the border was

Might add the adorable Iori from CuddlyOctopus to collection soon. And by probably, I mean definitely.

>>15730276
Looks like it was a bonus item for those who bought the entire series in DVD or BD set two years ago. I believe It's not possible to request it anymore, should you even manage to get all the application tickets included with the discs.
Second hand stores are your only chance, sorry.

>>15730859
thanks anon. i can't even find the source image or information about that besides on cdjapan. any recommendations on where to look?

I enjoy these threads. Living with my parents still so I cannot get a daki. However listening to some chill music and reading you guys' stories in my bed makes me feel like life is worth living and that I'll make it.

>>15735240
Wow... I'm finding 0 results for both official sites and doujin cover sites... I recommend asking on https://www.reddit.com/r/Dakimakuras/comments/4vlvc1/august_question_thread_post_all_questions_here/
If they can't find it, no one can.

>>15729676
Threaded discussion drives off people who aren't interested in discussing the same thing every single day for 500 days, which leads to the creation of insular subcommunities.

What's the point of getting a daki of someone other then your waifu?

What's the point of having a daki if you're not a waifufag?

>>15735532
At least you'll have a cute anime girl to cuddle/fuck/do whatever

Dakis make you become a waifufag

>>15735532
These are otacool threads for /a/ if all the out-of-place posts didn't set off your alarm already.

>>15735532
All of them are my waifus

>>15735483
That's nice to hear. Hope you can get your waifu someday.

I think someone asked last thread, but does anyone have any recommendations for perfume/fragrance stuff?

>>15732483
Bleach might work

>>15735532
But all my Daki's are just of my waifu excluding one I got from a collectors edition.
But I agree I don't think I would ever buy a Daki if I was not a waifufag, but I love my waifu too much to not buy a Daki of her.

>>15737682
There is literally nothing wrong with buying as many dakis of your waifu that you can

>>15737685
I know, I got lots of Dakis for my waifu. If you don't buy Daki's of your waifu you don't love her enough!

Remember this, everyone. It's important.

ayyy, nice maymay

Christ this thread is cancer

Good day to you, anons.
I have a problem. It surely is unoriginal and fairly common, but I'm too lazy to search for it in the previous threads, so a brief tip is appreciated.
You can see this on pic related. My bootleg daki made of 2-way tricot has formed these things the General Info pastebin warns about. I've read it before posting though.
So how do I dispose of these irregularities in fabric? I do shave daily and shower before sleep, yet I'm very hairy and the hair is quite rigid, and I'm frustrated by how quickly these bumps and tears have appeared.
The things I'm interested in are:
- How do I fix this?
- Is it common among bootlegs (fabric quality), or is it just me?
- How do I prevent this in the future?
I've considered having a body hair removal procedure, but it costs a fortune. I haven't touched my daki for almost a month after I noticed these bad things in a week after the purchase, keeping it at a safe distance so I won't touch it at all, but this is a pain.

>>15739195
But who are you quoting though?

>>15739015
I object on the grounds that Karen doesn't actually say that, and counter by turning her into a daki.

>>15739321
It is indeed common among bootlegs, regardless of whether it's peach skin, 2-way tricot, etc.
Easiest way to enjoy a daki is buy an official 2-way tricot one. Since you're already considering an expensive hair removal, money shouldn't be a problem for you. My tip goes for all 3 of your questions, lol.
Like a lot of anons have said to me about my bootleg, you get what you paid for.

>>15739969
Thanks, I suspected that the fabric quality is the cause. That being said, I can only dream for this hairy procedure, and I'm very irritated by the fact I spent almost 2/3 of my salary to purchase a dakimakura which happened to be poorly crafted.
I am wondering about official dakimakuras.
Well, I'll be smarter next time.
I have another question unrelated to my problem.
Say, an artist publishes an art for a dakimakura which is then sold by limited copies. With them being long gone, is it possible/worth it to contact an artist and purchase an artwork from him to print it on a peach skin (since AFAIK, they're far more sturdy than 2-way) with the help of a bootleg daki shop?

>>15740017
I'm more appalled that 2/3 of your salary only got you a dakimakura. A bootleg is cheap cheap, yet you spent 2/3 of your salary?

As for the dakis being sold out, I'm not too sure but you're probably out of luck. It's a long shot to being able to get in touch with the artist IMO, and more so to purchase the artwork I think. I'm no veteran to dakis so take my answer as a grain of salt.
Also, 2-way tricot is better than peach skin.

>>15740017
>2/3 of my salary
Does your job consist collecting cans off the highway? Are you homeless? I think you have much bigger problems if a bootleg daki takes up two thirds of your salary.

>>15735532

My waifu doesn't have a good daki.

How do I go about making a custom daki?

>>15740047
>>15740082
Don't worry, it's a third world problem. I didn't want to talk about it, but if you're interested, here's some info.
I am obtaining a master's degree while working part-time in a company which matches my speciality, in order to get same experience as a trainee. The salary is 120 bucks, and the daki costed 90 bucks. The shipping was free fortunately.
I should thank Satan I even got a job which isn't even being documented properly, since nowadays finding a paid workplace is pretty much impossible in my country unless you have certain "connections" or several years of working experience.
Prior to purchase, I happened to realize that month's salary was my annual, so I wanted to celebrate it a bit since I could afford it - took some savings here and there and made a decision.
Not to mention, I was getting pretty lonely, and thanatophobia has started to kick in. For instance, I did a pretty good load of the daily routine on a weekend, played some vidya and, in the end, I was relaxing in a bed, almost happy. Then, the random dark thoughts started to appear, like "you're empty", "no one likes you", "the time passes by", "you're steadily getting old", "there's only darkness ahead". Bearing with these thoughts, I realized I had a strong need to hug a cutie, and considered the daki to be a worthy investment. I was right.
I was fired the next month though, the HR said the usual things they say to everyone else. Right now I am existing on water and potatoes while searching for a garbage-tier job, but it's okay since the waifu is physically near me.
And that's why I am so concerned about the pillow's safety and repair, since every time I hug her, I slowly ruin her.
>>15740135
You should search for bootleg dakimakura shops, such as animedakimakurapillow or hobbyheart. They do custom designs fairly often, just make sure the image is good enough to print.

>>15740092
>>15740135
You could always go out and commission one and get it printed at hobby heart or something, i've done that a couple times, they came out really nice

Take the time to find an artist you like and throw money at them

>>15740454
your story warmed my heart, anon-kun. can you share more pictures of your daki with us? she sounds very special to you.

>every time I hug her, I slowly ruin her.
nothing lasts forever. my advice would be to enjoy your daki to the fullest, and just take basic precautions like trimming your nails and only washing her occasionally.

>>15740673
Ah, thanks for your kind response.
I am the guy who celebrated his birthday on /r9k/ earlier this month.
I couldn't find it in the archives, but still - the post number is 30388451, and I made a pdf earlier. Sadly, I can't attach all the pics at once or a pdf, and I don't want to because the thread would surely derail, so I'll post my OP picture from back then.
For the sake of one's sanity - it's ironical, following the idea of https://youtu.be/wUWdyUdD8gE .

>>15740770
great picture. thanks.

if you have a bunch more that you would be willing to share, you could make an imgur album pretty painlessly. seeing pictures like the one you posted here makes me feel less weird about myself.

i would set up dinner dates for my daki if there wasn't a chance of my parents/brother walking in on our romantic meal.

>>15740860
I didn't know Imgur had such functionality. It's pretty awesome.
Here's the gallery.

>>15740932
I've rearranged the pictures a bit so they would be in a chronological and logical order.

>>15740932
Looks like you're (south east?) Asian eh.
But you also said your body's full of spiky hair? Doesn't quite fit the picture lol.

Anyway, that's a tough life for you. It's probably really hot there, but you can obviously wear clothing so your hair doesn't brush against your daki. If rough skin was your problem, then you can use a pumice stone to smooth out your skin.
Keep at it and don't die.

Is there a place where I can get a daki custom made? All the ones I've seen are either 2kewd or cheap Chinese knockoffs.

English bootleg dakimakura shops are good to go.

Although I don't have an experience of ordering a custom, I guess you should consult with these shops' managers to see whether there are any differences in quality that make the price different.

>>15740932
This is super cute anon. It put a smile on my face. Hope you get to enjoy her for as long as you can. :)

Virtually the exact same pose on both sides. What a turnoff, I love Murasame but I won't shill out for a lazy effort like this.

how do get a dhr6000 shipped to the US with the least amount of hassle?

>>15745992
most forwarding services like taobaoring and tenso are pretty straightforward and hassle free.

i have used taobaoring and had a good experience.

everybody in this thread pls kys.

>>15746055
Isn't taobaoring chinese? Won't he need a japanese one?

>>15745992
Register at Tenso, get your japanese address and have the pillow shipped to such address. Shopping at amazon.co.jp is very easy as everything is in English.

Is there any dakimakura like object I can buy that is more than just a cover for a pillow?

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but do you guys know what the doll things this guy features are called?

Almost every sex doll I've seen looks ugly/creepy/shitty. But those are... actually somewhat decent.

>>15748125
How? What proxy service do I use?

>>15749643
I use FromJapan as my goto proxy. There may be better proxy sites, I'm not sure. I like them for their convenience and product search engine. If you go with FromJapan, make an account and use this form
http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/special/order
to special order an item from a japanese site. Put the link to the product page for the DHR6000 pillow in the request form. Next time the office opens, they will email you about payment information for the requested item. I've order from them well over a dozen times and special ordered with that form almost half of the time. No issues at any point, though the tape on their boxes reak...

I dont understand you people, I have two questions I hope you can answer.

What's the appeal? You hug it, but while it may have an image it wont feel like your waifu. Just a pillow.

Secondly what do family think?
If you live alone, then what would happen if you had to move in with someone? Because I'm tight as fuck with money, so I would rather save on rent by living with family.

>>15749715
There's honestly no way in hell I could ever get a girl to love me, and even if I did I'm so fucked up I'd make her hate me in days.

This is the closest I can get, so don't judge.
>Inb4 basement dweller
No. I have a part time job to pay for my hobbies, I have a great scholarship at a good school, and I'm very good at pretending not to be an emotional wreck. I have a good standing at both locations; I'm not popular but I'm liked.

My family don't think anything about it because I never let on the issue. They think I'm weird and I don't get along well with them, but they don't know about these oddities, just other ones.

I lived with a close friend (ironically female) for a few years when I left high school, and just hid my shit. To be honest she was also a bit odd and wouldn't have judges even if she knew this particular oddity, because I paid my bills and didn't mess with her stuff.

TL;DR be as weird as you like, just keep a job and don't be a dick.

>>15749715
It feels nice and soft. Definitely more than just a pillow.
Live with someone? Who cares, tell them to deal with it. Not like they'll care too much anyway.

You don't sound like a jp fag asking those questions.

>>15749715
The pillow, even without a special cover, is really nice to sleep with.

Having a picture of a character that I really like, printed on a cover that's made out of really nice feeling material, is just extra for me.

>>15749715
I really enjoy the simulacrum (yeah yeah big word whatever it's accurate) of a human being onto which I can shower affection. I've got all sorts of weird sexual hangups that make it very difficult to imagine myself in a relationship, but I still deeply crave basic physical contact, and this is the best I can do for now.

Plus holy shit A&J tricot is far and away the nicest thing I've ever touched.

>>146285935

>>15750232
Gotta learn about a new board somehow I guess.

>>15750320
A&j tricot? What's that?

May be odd to ask here since im new to /jp/ but ive seen alot of companies that help/produce customized dakis. Was wondering if any companies make customized 3d mouse pads? Preferably singles and not bulks thanks anons

>>15727236
What a great new general, thanks for leaving it here instead of sending these faggots back to /a/ janny

>>15750841
Maybe /a/'s buyfag thread might be more helpful but personally, I don't know

>>15750320
Basically you're me. The dakimakura helps "channel" the character so the simulation is more complete. Sometime ago I've realized I can't love normal flesh and blood people. They will always be lacking in the most profound ways.

>>15750819
>A&j tricot? What's that?

It's a dakimakura print shop. Unfortunately they're highly in demand, and only the bigger circles can use them to print (I hear they have a minimum of like 100 copies before you can order from them).

E.g., http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1048539231&ref=list

There are a few sub-types within A&J, but I haven't noticed nearly as much of a difference between them as I have between other manufacturers and A&J themselves. There's a few other close competitors, like p80 and seiren, but I don't think they compare (though apparently some prefer them).

I won't pretend to be an expert, and I'm sure some dude with 100+ covers is going to come along and tell me how wrong I am, but as it stands I just love every one of my A&J covers.

>>15751619
Anywhere else I can order them, or do they have a different trade name?

>>15750320
>I still deeply crave basic physical contact, and this is the best I can do for now.
Why not hire a hooker?

>>15752482
No offense, but are you retarded?

>>15752400
I'm not sure what you mean. It's just a material, so you'd have to find places that used it to print. You're not going to find it from an on-demand site, it's generally only going to be at events in Japan (e.g., comiket, ore no yome, etc) or occasionally through mail-order (again, in Japan). Otherwise, you'll need to search secondhand, usually either on yahoo auctions (you'll need a proxy) or mandarake.

>>15754274
Oh I see

You had implied they were a maker of full covers, not just a material provider.

In that case is there somewhere where I could reliably browse what prints are available for the material, preferably in English?

Old pic but thinking of getting more of her. Just always nervous about ordering loli dakis

>>15754792
>is there somewhere where I could reliably browse what prints are available for the material, preferably in English?
If that's your comfort level, you should probably just stick with hobbyheart.

>>15754792
A&J is the largest and best provider for daki covers/pillow covers/sheets material. They provide the full product, printed stitched and packaged, to any circle/artist who want their design in the best material out there (advertising "made by A&J" is a big marketing plus). They have a 2-way tricot marketed as Lycra, and an even better version known as Lyctron. It's the best material on the market atm, its softness is unbelievable.

You can find a non-exaustive list of A&J-made covers on MFC:
http://myfigurecollection.net/search.php?manufacturer=A%26J+Co..

But most of them are not available anymore, so if you find one you really like you have to hunt it on secondhand shops. Here's the search URL on Mandarake for Lyctron ones, around 450 available right now:
https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/ListPage/serchKeyWord?keyword=%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF%E3%83%88%E3%83%AD%E3%83%B3&lang=ja&soldOut=1

You can also check this site for present and past releases:
http://www.nijigenshingu.info/cgi-bin/makura_search.cgi
Search for "ライクトロン" (Lyctron) in the top field. The newer ones on top are probably still available for preorder, there's a link to the store/webshop selling it. 99.9% proxy required.

I can see what >>15756536 means, but if you want to try real japanese quality daki covers you need to step up your buyfag level and leave bootleggers like hobbyheart alone. Good luck!

I've had my pillow for 2.5 years now and it's getting a little flat. Any tips on refluffing it?

Anyone know where I can get a good Flan non-lewd?

>>15755912
If you are in the United States stop being paranoid.

Does anybody have a DHR6000? How does it feel?

>>15759863
Tough luck, anon. A couple months ago pic related was available for preorder, but isn't anymore: http://yometan.cart.fc2.com/ca1/136/p-r-s/
The design is very nice and non lewd as you asked, and it's printed on Lyctron (see >>15758216).

You might get one on Yahoo Auctions but they're terribly overpriced:
http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w149203882
http://page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u114488709

There's a slight chance Yometan Webshop will put it up again in the future (they did with other covers in the past), but there's no guarantee. You will need to check every now and then (at least twice a month) to avoid missing the preorder deadline.

>>15760555
I have its smaller brother, the MH2000. Same material and quality in 63x43 cm.
Fluffy as fuck, with a Lyctron cover feels the best thing I've ever hugged. I will definitely upgrade my daki pillow to a DHR6000 sooner or later.

>>15759863
>>15760709
If it's not too lewd, you might like this white sukumizu Flan cover by Kinokonomi, pic related. Still overpriced than mail order, but not much:

Thank you so much anon, I'll keep an eye on it. As I don't feel like paying upwards of 28,000 yen :\

Well, I missed the boat on this one. She looked so beautiful too. I don't know if these are one time only like figures, so I'll probably have to wait for a new one.

Stupid question, but: Those heart censors are only part of the picture, right?

>>15760333
This. Loli is protected by the Constitution under freedom of expression, on the grounds that it is art. We're safe for now.

>>15756536

You guys realize I've never touched hobbyheart correct?

No of course not.

Anyway, thank you for the links. I've never been much of a buyfag so and I don't know any Japanese outside of bare tagging essentially so this is appreciated

>>15760555
It is the greatest pillow there is for dakis. It's the highest quality and everyone who has one loves it.

>>15762066
>Those heart censors are only part of the picture
They are censors placed on the image for posting on websites. They aren't part of the actual cover design.

I hate how many lewd sides look like they are getting raped.

I just want consensual lovemaking with my waifu.

Can anyone recommend a good site for custom printing? Also, peach skin or 2WT? I know that 2WT is generally preferred, but I'm scared of the things I've heard about less durability.

>>15765114
Please do yourself a favor and get 2WT.

>>15765860
Aight. Are they durable enough?

>>15765860
Also I'm still SOL for a decent custom print service. What do

What does /jp/ think of lewding daki's

>>15766071
I've never ordered a bootleg daki, thus I can't quite help you with any store recommendations. As for the 2WT question, yes, it's durable, but it's VERY easy to nick the fabric with your fingernails. You have to be pretty careful with it.

These do the trick. Also put something between them and pillow.

Has anyone ever tried sleeping wearing stockings / pantyhose with dakimakura? Any advise for what material to get to go with my polyester daki from Cospa for max comfort / good feel? Leg hair can damage the cover over time.

>>15769770
Just shave your legs.

>>15769770
Or just wear pajama pants.

>>15730276
They need to make one of her in middle school. She was cuter before her hs debut.

>>15764885
I agree. That's why I commissioned someone to draw for me. It's a little pricey, but totally worth if you can't find a decent one for the character you want.

>>15770557
The question is, who can be commissioned that will make gorgeous art and not an abortion?

>>15749715
Because these people get sexually aroused by the under aged girls depicted on the pillows.

Don't forget http://buyfag.moe

Anything I can use to make them smell nice?

Is it wrong to get a daki of a girl from a non-japanese franchise?

Speaking of CuddlyOctopus, I see their dakis are made of 2WT for only $55, which is half the price of the official covers. Why is that? Is it because they get printed in China? Or is it because they images are from "non-official" artists?
Will the quality of Cuddly's 2WT be the same as the bootleggers in China (that sells their 2WT for like $40)?

>>15758216

I just bought a Mashiro daki from Sprite sort of on an impulse. Reading this post about Lyctron, pretty nice knowing that I'll be getting one of the best material. I have to keep the cover from being too lewd due to living on Marine barracks so this will suffice.

>All these extremely obscene and lewd dakis
For what purpose?
You can't fuck a pillow. And it's not like you're going to tear a hole into your daki and fuck the hole given how expensive some of these are.

So what's the point?

>>15782390
Author of that post here. I'm sure you will love it, anon. Must've costed a pretty penny now, as it was released last year.

>>15782269
I believe chinese printers are cheaper, yeah. That, and maybe they take a smaller profit margin. Japanese doujin artists are "non official" and their covers still cost 10-12k yen, just because people (like me) still buy them.
I don't have any Cuddly's cover (yet) so I don't know about their quality, but I remember some anon vouched for them. They're like a legit doujin circle (they produce their own art instead of stealing), so I believe they care more about quality than bootleggers do.

>>15782451
>it's not like you're going to tear a hole into your daki and fuck the hole
Are you sure?

>>15782451
>>15767913

>>15782591

Not an expert at daki prices or anything but the base cost of the cover was 13000 yen. Considering that I didn't have to hunt for it via auctions and that it doesn't seem to be super limited the price seems pretty good.

>>15782591
Did you cut a hole into your pillow or something?
How does that work?

>>15782591

Just remember kids, there's always a way to sink even deeper.

>>15782269
I've been following them for a bit. They use less precision with their prints. That is to say a 160 cm case could actually end up being 157 cm or 162 cm or so. High precision, like the 13000 yen cases cost a lot more money. However, their products are good and they are the only daki site in English that don't sell shitty bootlegs.

>>15784084
>>15784343
Picture was found online, not mine. I also saw another one on an Asuna daki last year, can't find it again though.
I'm sure there's some Japanese webpage describing the process out there, but I'm not going to flush myself down that rabbit hole.

But some Japanese maker caught the idea and is selling this:
https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B01HTKZ7K6/
Fitting illustrated cover is sold separately. I need to ask in the onahole general whether anyone tried it.

Are there any web pages with more and active discussions about dakimakuras?

>>15786425
the dakimakura subreddit isn't exactly flooded with activity but is a good place to ask questions or show off your collection

>>15755912
oh gosh, I had a Tail Red too! But I moved to Japan and had to leave that behind :(

I think it might be time to look for a daki of my true waifu Kurumi Erika. I have a second futon here and we could h-hold hands under the blanket... Where does one buy dakis in Japan? (I've only bought from American Anime cons)

>>15731839
that kuroneko daki is angelic

where can i find a non lewd daki of nozomi toto from love live!

Just bought pic related for $74.

>>15806938
Too bad cospa's print quality is crap. You can see the lack of definition even in pictures.

>>15806968
This isn't COSPA brand. Do your research rookie.

>>15806974
My mistake. The printing quality looked so similarly terrible that I had it confused.

how much is the average daki?

>>15806983
>I'm poor so the only thing I can do is hate others for having money for expensive merchandise

Enjoy your custom Anime Dakimakura dot com merchandise made with shitty ass material. Characters don't even look anything like the characters they are supposed to represent.

>>15806938
did you open it yet/put it on a pillow? any more pictures?

>>15806938
Do those lines really look as rough as they do on the photo?

>>15807014
What? $74 is like, dirt cheap. You can't even find a decent Japanese cover for that price. You need to work on your angle, that just doesn't make sense.

>>15807014
>People actually think licensed merchandise is the "good stuff"
All the "real" covers are doujin stuff, with a few notable exceptions (e.g., Front Wing used A&J for the Grisaia covers). Cospa and Movic and the like are generally second-rate. Hell, cospa doesn't even offer 2WT.

What's the difference between 2WT and DC Rei?

>>15807921
>DC Rei
where have you heard of that? 2WT is generally considered to be the best you can get

artist had it on mail order on his site, I got it from mandarake the day after it was released. Haven't seen it on there since then though

>>15749715
I just bought my first last night while being pretty intoxicated.

I have one year of school left and then move in with my fiance. She was living with me and moved when she graduated this spring. I figure I have a few months to weeb out and then I have to be an adult and do adult things.

I bought a fleshlight and a daki, all of this stuff has to be thrown out and not seen by my roommates. Ive actually started locking my room door while im in there or gone for the first time to keep people from walking in. I've turned into the basement dwelling shut in Ive always known I was.

tl;dr I only have so much time to live, might as well do whatever I want now while I can.

>>15820391
a major step in being happy is accepting yourself for who you are

there is no way you are going to keep a full sized daki hidden from your roommates for very long. you really need to accept that.

>>15820391
You'll be a lot happier when you realize most people do not care what you think or do as long as it does not affect them. You might get a bit of shit, but honestly, why worry about it so much? What are they going to do? If they're the kind of people that honestly long-term think worse of you for sleeping with a daki, are they the kind of people whose opinion you care about anyway?

>>15820476
>there is no way you are going to keep a full sized daki hidden from your roommates for very long.

>>15727236
Are there any dakis of Tomoko that aren't total trash or super lewd?
I just want a cute tomoko not some oversexualized shit.

Does anyone know where I might find a good daki of Senjougahara? I've seen this one http://www.dakemakura.com/1246_shousai.html but I don't quite like the art style, it doesn't match up with her mature personality. Have checked Amico and Mandy too.

>>15820743
they made her look really young. i don't like that one very much either desu.

>>15820789
she's a 1X year old girl at the time of the novels, not 11. plus I have a theory that it all takes place in 2006 so if anything she'd be older than me now.

I just custom ordered this in 2-way tricot. Don't worry, the sample is because the full size is way too big, and the other side shows nipples.

I've got a bad feeling with animedakimakurapillow, but I hope it's just empty paranoia.

>>15820840
Oops. I was so excited I forgot that side showed nipple too. Have the sample, with the naughty bits covered this time.

>>15820840
>>15820852

>and the other side shows nipples
i am in the camp that firmly believe a daki is only supposed to have one lewd side.

you should have a side to show your parents when they come over and a side for your personal cuddle time.

where did you order from?

>>15820877
>a daki is only supposed to have one lewd side.
That's actually my preference as well, but I love the design so much, I overlooked that little detail.

>>15820877

I just ordered it from animedakimakurapillow.com. I've heard mixed things about that site, so I'm understandably worried. Is my daki cover in good hands?

And I'd just like the point out that the sample leaves out the feet, but in the full version, that's not the case at all.

>>15820894
Guh, I meant to paste in "where did you order from?" instead of linking to your post again. Tonight is not my night.

>>15820894
>the sample leaves out the feet, but in the full version, that's not the case at all
A very important detail

>>15820840
>animedakimakurapillow
I've recently ordered from them too, but don't have it yet. I saw some youtube videos unboxing from them, but they were sponsored videos so idk senpai.

>>15820840
What price did you pay? Just gonna warn you, though it says 2-way tricot it will not be of the quality of material with the legit production circles. The only site in english that sells good quality material covers is Cuddly Octopus. A site like animedakimakurapillow will definitely be bootleg quality.

>>15821498
Too much for sure. $99 for a 160 cm 2-way cover. I should've done more research.

>>15821533
no reason to regret it now, when you no longer have any options. there are no mistakes, only lessons.

just look forward to your new daki <3

>>15821498
>A site like animedakimakurapillow will definitely be bootleg quality.
Well, it IS a bootleg site actually. What else should he expect?

>>15821533
>$99 for a 160 cm 2-way cover.
What
>I should've done more research.
Definitely. Just a little more would have netted you a legit quality daki, although not that design probably. But as >>15821576 said, you have learned something.

>>15746307

>>15782451
>>15782591
>>15784084
There's also this. I have one on order.

>>15821603
I'm a very picky person. If it meant sacrificing some quality and a lighter wallet for that specific design, then I think it would have been well worth it.

>>15821674
w-what is that

>>15822818
It's a Daki pencil holder.

>>15822818
It seems to be for strapping onaholes to a daki.

>>15822963
>>15823260
No guys, it's obviously a water bottle holder so you can quench your thirst after an intense session of cuddling your waifu.

Geez.

New design from Yumemiyasan. Quite cute and not too lewd, fitting for a divine spirit.

>>15746307
this makes me feel so weird

>>15821658
that doesn't look to be the same qaulity as what the guy in the above link has.

After a little bit less than a year of use my dhr6000 got really lumpy. Is there a way to fix this?

how can i make dakimakura with hole?

>>15829427
And I thought mine was bad after 2 years. You're probably too rough with it, the inner structure of it is rather delicate. You might be better off with a different pillow.

>>15829474

>>15829474
As a guy who kisses his dakis, I dunno if I could put an onahole there.

Are those panties?

>>15833761
So long Baltimore~

>>15834138
Thank god, DC master race

Are there shops in Japan (mainly Kyoto) to go to for daki?

I just got this picture sent to me.

Now comes the waiting game.

Any tips on washing a daki where the image was transfered directly to a pillow? So there's no separate cover. Just wash it in the tub? Not sure what to do with it to ensure it dries properly, such a large and wet pillow will be really heavy and I don't have anywhere to hang it up.

>>15839812
>that seamless red printing

Impressive.

>>15839812
that looks really good

>>15839856
instead of giving it a thorough washing, you could wet a cloth and just lightly clean the surface.

i too, would be concerned about drying it if you submerged the whole thing. i suppose you could try to wring it out afterwards, but who knows how long it would take to get fully dry. if you could leave it out in the sun, it might help dry it but then you risk ruining the colors.

>>15820721
These are the only one that come to mind that aren't lewd,I own the on the right and it's really well made.

>>15820721
I own this one and it's cute and really comfy,but it's semi lewd.

>>15840272
That's a good idea, I'll have to do that. Thanks man.

>>15839812
shit did I fall for the bootlegs are bad meme?

>>15841722
Who knows. The moment I have the thing shipped to me, it might come apart the moment I try to wash it.

Fuck guys, I might have to bootleg this so I can devil aoba on one side and angel hifumi on the other. Their normal clothed sides are boring

>tfw your waifu is from an obscure anime series from last millenium
>tfw there will never be a daki print of her on par with original art

I'm quoting nobody, I'm just broken inside. Sorry.

>>15842057
You could always get rich and commission one.

Too bad getting rich is always the hard part.

>>15842078
Money is not a problem, but there is no way to commission her original character designer to draw it. And I couldn't accept a substitute. I already recognize the styles of different key animators who worked on her.

Waifus are better than human relationships for sure, but long-term obsession is not healthy. But I can't help it.

>>15841929
the anime and characters itself are boring

>>15842874
Well my emphasis was on the character design and their dichotomy in that particular shot, but I say its the best ecchi this year - yuri, interesting perspective shots, good voice acting for its genre, covers archetypes appealing to me. Obviously its not monogatari, but only serial complainers think like that

I mean I don't like shonens but I could still say jojo is much better than dragon ball this year

>>15842057
>>15842129
I'm curious now, who's that? Someone from Takahashi Rumiko sensei?

>obscure
Mmmh probably not.

>>15841929
Do you know if there are any good Umiko ones out there?

>>15841929
I already have both the Moe and the EB Hifumi covers. I can't spend more on this chick...

>Unfortunately we have been unable to obtain your item through our usual distributors. However, we will still attempt to contact other distributors that may carry the item.
Do I still have a chance at getting my daki or should I just write it off at this point?

>>15844042
what a bummer...

what daki did you order, specifically? and from where?

>>15844143
The Anchovy one through AmiAmi.

>>15843397
No, I don't even think I seen any merch of her, even like stickers or a mouse pad

Such is the fate of delicious brown

So how much do GOOD commissions cost typically? I want to commission one because no daki's of her exist.

>>15845691
Well its been a while, but I recall you could get the top guys in a community for 60 USD, maybe 90 if you want some one kind of inactive. That was H though so a daki might be cheaper and simpler, probably not since there's two sides. Almost all popular artist usually have commission pages with all the pricing details, you just have to find some one whose work you like

>>15845720
That sounds good. Maybe I'm asking for too much but do artists ever take requests to match the original source artstyle or do they only do their style? It needs to be like the original art style.

>>15845733
Few would say no, but you might want to look at their art variation to see if they actually can. It shouldn't be terribly difficult for a one person scene with next to no background if you provide reference material

>>15845720
>That was H though so a daki might be cheaper and simpler, probably not since there's two sides

i'd imagine the resolution of the image used on a daki has to be very large.

drawing for a daki is probably a huge undertaken, when compared to making a standard image.

>>15807021
I will post more pics when I feel like it. Quite frankly I don't really wanna share much with this thread/board because of the haters. But because you asked i'll do so eventually. Dakimakura threads are slow so I don't have to worry about this thread going anywhere anytime soon.

>>15807035
Yes. What do you expect? This is licensed products.

>>15848903
>haters
The detail of the drawing is not that great. There's no hate in stating the facts.

So how do I go about obtaining this daki?

https://privategarden.booth.pm/items/293824

Is it impossible to get imported since I think they only sell in the c90 market? Any help would be appreciated.

>>15848987
Very nice one, anon. It was on sale on Comiket 90 last month, and then available for mailorder on Booth afterwards.
But the preorder deadline was August 31th, now it's not possible to order it anymore. :,-(
Buying on Booth is very easy, they don't ship overseas but there's proxy and forwarding services for this. The artist might eventually rerelease it in the future, so you might want to check from time to time.
You could also look on the aftermarket (Mandarake and Yahoo Auctions), especially after the shipment of the mailorder (which will take place in 2-3 weeks), but it's probably going to be overpriced. There's one right now available for 22k yen.

Tried to find this one but to no avail. Stumbled upon some jap sites but it was either sold out or the page had no pictures.

did anyone happen to run into a Ayu Tsukimiya daki from Kanon?
I searched in a lot of places but couldn't find one.

>>15852245
There's this one, quite recent considering Kanon is an old franchise: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/323033
Not easy to find though, might show up someday on the aftermarket.

>>15850712
It's an old cover from 2010, finding one won't be easy.

>>15820721
You could commissionate me. PM me on Telegram at @oyyxonro if you're interested

>>15845733
I actually prefer to draw as close to the original art style, I learnt and know how to use softwares such as TraceMan, PaintMan, Ae and Ps. I also use deltaFX and antialiasing special effects, which some anime studios also do. I'm >>15852632 by the way

>>15848963
Fuck off virgin.

Anyone ever buy dakis from the chinks?

>>15856479
i got an achobby cover from taobao.

very happy with my purchase.

>>15856479
>>>/g/csg is good place to ask that.

Has anyone here bought one of those US-Only Royalty Pillows mentioned in the pastebin? The medium sized ones look to be the right size for a Daki. Trying to look into buying my first, but I've making things difficult for myself.

>>15857444
It's not bad. I've had a cluster fiber from royal pillow and a DHR6000. The DHR6000 is both softer, fluffier, and more resilient, but for the price royal is not bad. Their standard medium size will leave a little bit of slack at the end, however.

>>15858935
Thanks,I guess slack is better than it not fitting. I might buy one or two of those. If/when I can ever stop debating myself over what to buy

>>15856479

They're using it. Not just cuddling it, either.

Hope you own a blacklight.

>>15734333
>way better then the cheapo Galil cover.

That is because it is a bootleg of my original.

After I had my original one commissioned I shared it with a few people on /k/ and then several of the chiense companies started mass producing it, and they seemed to have shrank it and lost some quality.

>>15865655
Print quality isn't that bad tough, the fabric just doesn't breathe.

>>15865730

A lot of the ones that flooded ali express and other sites do seem to use shit material and never 2WT.

If you are ever interested in a Galil upgrade I an get you the 30mb original high res artwork and you can get proper ones printed on 2-way tricot. Keep in mind that better material costs more, even from China.

>>15865787
I'm good, I think I'll keep it like this.
I also don't really see the point in having two of the same covers.

>>15865882

Peachskin or the other cheaper fabrics are fine if you like to hang the daki as reversible wall art. The color quality tends to be good.

>>15865787
Could you post the 30mb file? I am interested in high res daki scans.

Hey y'all know if with big weights should I do small reps or lots of reps?

Do any bootlegs of the Calne Ca dakimakura exist yet?

>>15866255
Wrong board bucko

>>15866231
>Could you post the 30mb file? I am interested in high res daki scans.

I thought I had the really big files on the mediafire account but I only have the 7mb file in there. I must have the other ones on one of the external drives somewhere.

These ones are still pretty high res PNG (the ones I originally shared with /k/ a year and a half ago).

So, what's the deal with this one? Is this a bootleg? That seems way too cheap. But even so, it's like the only Remilia one I've ever seen that doesn't make me want to through up with how bad the art is.

>>15866610
>$22.88

Yes, it is definitely a bootleg. Anything through an english site, aside from cuddly octopus, is a bootleg. You get what you pay for with that price.

>>15866619
Probably sandpaper material or something then, yeah?

>>15866625
Cheap material, shitty image artifacts that make it look terrible compared to the stock image, poor seams, crappy zipper, you name it. Anything could be crappy with it.

>>15866610
I'ts a bootleg. You can buy an original from https://www.aliexpress.com/item//32581068478.html

>>15866255
I sometimes put my weight set inside my daki so everytime I complete a rep I get spiritually and physically closer to my waifu, not only by building strength but by lifting a physical metaphor of her as well.
When I die in combat and go to valhalla my waifu will be there waiting for me.

>Got 6 commissioned daki to print

Does any of you know if any of them are trust worthy?

>>15727236
hobbyheart is the bwst bootleg daki store desu, prices are very good esp given how HQ they are if you select 2WT with peach skin.

>>15866690
What's with that store? They have the same lineup of slolita, are they the same people?

>>15868170
Same people i believe, but its much easier for people to buy stuff from aliexpress than taobao.

>>15868170
Yeah, they started switching to the Moeyu brand a few month ago.
Their actual Chinese name is 绝对萌域.

>>15866690
>>15868264
so they're legit? that You daki looks really good

>>15868232
That is true. I remember two stores on aliexpress, "Guangzhou Slolita" and "Worthyplus", but there's no products for sale there right now. They probably abandoned the slolita name and opened up this new store with their actual name.

>>15868264
They also sell on Toranoana with the brand name 絶対萌域 (Zettai Moeyu), which is probably the Japanese equivalent of their Chinese name.
Much cheaper on Aliexpress, though. Will material and print quality be exactly the same?

>>15867781
Who'd you commission?

>>15867781
>>Got 6 commissioned daki to print
>>Don't know if I can trust any of those printing site

Most of the usual sites do quality work. Are you concerned about them re-selling your custom designs afterwards? I honestly have no idea which companies do that.

>>15868642
I'm also curious about commissions. I really want to get a daki, but I can't find one of who I'm looking for that I like both sides of.

>>15866606
Those look great.

>>15865098
Never accept any option of expedited shipping.

>>15866606
Those are on danbooru too.

Is buying dakis on Amazon approved?
I just got $100 in Amazon credit and I'm not sure what to use it on.

>>15871212
If you're okay with bootlegs of undetermined quality, go for it.

>>15839812
>>15820840
Where can I find the full size images anon? Seriously considering that design for my first daki

>>15866690
Thanks, buddy

I bought this from YAJ after C90. I don't have a pillow for it yet, as I wasn't planning on getting a daki any time soon. But then Frontwing sold this, and I couldn't risk it not being sold elsewhere later.

Can anyone recommend a quality Reisen Daki? Something with nice art, not too lewd. My first time looking for one of these.

Thank you in advance!

>>15876207
How about this one? Art is from Great Moth, a bit lewd but overall cute, and it's printed on A&J Lyctron (best material out there):
http://dakimakuland.cart.fc2.com/ca1/218/p-r-s/
You'll need a proxy as they only accept bank transfer.
There's some more 2hus in stock on that same store, including a very cute Momiji one drawn by Kurasuke.

>>15876207
If you haven't already, I'd check the sites in the pastebin. That's what I've been doing looking for my first too.

Though I'm thinking I'll probably just go with a Cuddly octopus that I like since I couldn't really find what I was looking for.

where did you get it done? I want to make sure I'm getting something that looks that good even if I'm overpaying

Just got the cover yesterday, so I can't say for sure if the thing won't disintegrate the moment I try to clean it later or something. But I'm happy with the quality of material and print.

>>15879871
what material did you opt for? would really appreciate some more pics too anon

One day I'll actually order a pillow and a cover and not just spend hours looking at things.

Fucking tasteless weeaboo.

Thinking of getting a Daki of myself. How do ones like that usually turn out and is it hard to get it done?

>>15880331
Gelbooru has one advantage over chan.sankakucomplex and danbooru. Unrestricted search. Other than that it's the worst of the three.

But yeah, high-res images like daki prints *should* be primarily on yande.re rather than general-purpose boorus.

>>15881691
sankaku has search restrictions?

>>15881754
Same as danbooru. 2 tags.

>>15881789
Not if you pay danbooru.

>>15882362
But why would anyone in their right mind do that?

That is incorrect, as shown. And I can go up to 9 as a free member

Anyone using one of HobbyHeart 150cm pillow cores?

I'm trying to decide between that or buying a Royal Pillow for a 150cm cover. Though the Royal pillows are 152cm, and I don't know if those extra 2 centimeters will lead to problems.
Hobby heart would be a little more expensive, but if the quality is equal/better I don't really care.

>>15882697
Oh, it's been changed recently. Haven't used danbooru in ages.

>>15882721
Right now I have 160cm pillow for my 155cm cover and the cover is still loose around the corners, so I would say larger pillow is better than smaller.

It's from a small local business though so dimensions might differ for the places you're looking at.

>>15882785
Thanks, I was worried that I might have to j-j-jam it in to the cover and risk stretching it out.

>>15882739
Sorry for not making myself clear, I was only talking about San-chan. Don't know about danbooru.

If the cover is in 2-way tricot (or any of its variations) you don't need to worry as those materials are very stretchy. It's better to have a larger inner pillow so the cover will straighten out rather than form wrinkles.
Please note that 150cm covers are usually bootlegs or officially licensed products, and in both cases 2WT is not that common. Yours might be 2WT but you'll need to check.

>>15882950
What I'm considering says it's 2WT.

I'm not a huge fan of how lewd the back side is,but the front is cute and there's not exactly many choices out there for Saya.

>>15882989
As a second choice I was considering a combination of the "All ages" version of this and the normal version. But it's 160cm so the 152 pillow would definitely be loose.

Does anyone know if smooth knit is its own thing or if it's another name for something else? I like it a lot more than 2WT and would like to know if I should just be going exclusively after cospa/movic dakis.

>>15883239
It's the name for the first stretchable material introduced after polyester suede (which is not stretchable at all). Smooth knit only extends in one direction, and has been surpassed by 2-way tricot (which extends both ways, hence the name) years ago. Only Cospa/Movic are still using it, and are thus despised by many people. However if you prefer Smooth knit those are your only options (aside from very old covers which may still be in Smooth), as everyone else has switched to 2WT.

does anyone know if there's a difference between 2 way tricot and just 2 way? I've seen some bootleg sites listing stuff as just 2 way and would like to know if it's an actual different material or not.

>>15731197
Wat

>>15884466
No difference in principle, 2way is just a shorthand. The actual quality though can vary much between different manufacturers, especially when bootleggers are involved.

Royal Pillow's order forms are complete shit. I just tried to order from them, and the order form rejected my info, saying that I hadn't filled out a field that I had filled.

Now my account has 3 orders registered on it somehow. How the hell do people actually order from this site. It seems to have been designed by someone who has no idea what they are doing. Trying to contact support so I don't get mailed 3 separate billows, charged 3 times over for shipping

You don't want a foursome with your waifus?

>>15841731
This artist is my second favorite next to Hamashima. Please post an update in this thread when you get your cover. If this shit doesn't disintegrate when touched I'll place an order too.

>>15887131
I wasn't planning on ordering 3 covers, 2 at most.

If it weren't for you onii-chans and the fact that my daki isn't terribly lewd, I would be infinitely more paranoid about this shitacular wait for customs.

It's almost been two weeks. I always hated Chicago. From what I've read the usps can deliver from customs without ever updating its tracking information so I have to keep checking every day.

This is the week senpai.

>>15887527
wow that fucking sucks, here in NZ I've never had a package take longer than 2 hours to clear customs
