Contemplating from afar

Part of my C74 loot is the rare Tinkle dakimakura from K-books. Only 300 got printed, 150 for mail order, and the rest for the Comiket. Better say that they are expensive, but with a bit of luck it’s possible to get it without overpaying.

For those not familiar with dakimakura, it’s in short a hug pillow ( daki = hug, makura = pillow). This is my first one, and, it’s really… addictive ^^;.

First of all it’s just the pillow sheet, quite long and large; 150cmx50cm. I wished my pillow would fit correctly, but since it’s a bit old, mine looks thinner than some other dakimakura you might have seen. At least there is less stress on the bottom zip. My surprise when I got it is in fact it’s fabric. No, it’s not cotton, it’s silky. I’m not really knowledgeable about fabrics, but it has a nice touch. By rubbing your head your hand in one sense, you have the smooth and soft touch. In the other sense though, it’s a bit rough, but it’s in no way disagreeable. The only drawback about such nice fabrics is in fact durability… I’m so anxious with washing and ironing since the drawing could just disappear if I made a mistake, but well… I will write more about this when I will wash it ^^;

Talking about the drawing, it’s full body illustration of cute girl, nicely printed.My favorite is the neko mimi one; so cute that you can’t resist hugging her. So moe with her short dress, thigh highs, blushing cheek and long hair, and shy *die*

I take care of NOT drooling over her… or the other side, but I don’t know if I do since I sleep like a baby with them. I should get a second one so that I can swap when I wash this one.

There is one things left to do with them… naming them! I’m open to suggestion ^^
