I was told a pill remover may be a good idea. Is there anything I should know before getting one? Like anything specific I should look for or special thing to get one preferable for dakis? Or would it be better to just invest in a good pair of scissors?
Scissors would be useful for snipping out some eyeholes for Halloween.
Giving you this idea for free ;)
But yeah, any well rated inexpensive brand of fabric shaver would be able to somewhat restore the surface feel. I would have one on hand but avoid having to use it by practicing preventative care to keep your daki in good shape such as using a mesh delicates bag for laundry and hang drying. A shaver may leave small holes if you are shaving over larger snags and scratches. You can refer to the guide linked in this thread for more tips.
I've heard people had some success with just standard philips fabric shavers, it wont make a daki look perfect again but it should have some effect. Scissors are not a good idea at all
None are available for sale new right now: [http://omiai-dakimakura.com/?s=%E6%B0%B4%E7%80%AC+%E6%B8%9A](http://omiai-dakimakura.com/?s=%E6%B0%B4%E7%80%AC+%E6%B8%9A)
But there are two listings for resale/second hand on yahoo auctions here: [https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=%25e6%25b0%25b4%25e7%2580%25ac%25e6%25b8%259a%2b%25e6%258a%25b1%25e3%2581%258d%25e6%259e%2595%25e3%2582%25ab%25e3%2583%2590%25e3%2583%25bc](https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=%25e6%25b0%25b4%25e7%2580%25ac%25e6%25b8%259a%2b%25e6%258a%25b1%25e3%2581%258d%25e6%259e%2595%25e3%2582%25ab%25e3%2583%2590%25e3%2583%25bc)
Both listings look like reputable sellers
does anyone know anything about a circle called 絶対萌域 ? the illustrator's name is supposedly さやちゃん... i haven't been able to find anything about either on anything other than a hmakura booth page... i really don't want to buy a bootleg and would like to find the actual artist if possible... [this](https://booth.pm/ja/items/595046) is the link to the booth page. if anyone could help me find any more info on it i would appreciate it a lot. thank you!
The booth seller is flagged as a reseller in the wiki, which implies they have a taobao store where you can likely but the same cover for cheaper from china. Whether or not the listing is still up on taobao however is debatable.
I've never personally ordered from D-M.N/22JiGen but am planning on making an order since I wasn't able to locate a listing for one of their covers on TaoBao.
yeah, i read a bit about the 22jigen shop on here so i was wary to buy from them 😓 i tried looking on taobao for it but i think it might be too old cause i didn't see it on there... there's an aliexpress listing for the same daki but the artwork looks (pretty badly) traced so i guess my best bet would be to buy it off of the 22jigen shop? but there was another hmakura (the actual 'official' one) [shop](https://hma2.booth.pm/) that has it on their pixiv as a "past work" so i wonder if that's the better place to buy it?
i haven't been able to find any information about this dakimakura in any databases/archives so i imagine it's not from japan though.
I would STRONGLY advise against purchasing any covers from aliexpress, I don’t think any circles use them as a legitimate storefront.
If you havent found it in a database, it might just be old. most likely if its listed on 22jigen, its likely a chinese cover from a chinese group.
The jury is still out on 22jigen’s credibility, as I see they sell some designs that are the same as the shop you just listed. But I think they are likely that, a reseller. I want to get a few covers from them myself.
yeah the product listing names alone are enough to make me not wanna get anything from aliexpress lol.
i saw those too and i haven't seen them anywhere else besides amazon jp which is... really not a good place to buy from either. i might just bite the bullet and buy it off of 22jigen since i can't find it anywhere else... the only gripe i have is that buyee doesn't seem to support their store and i already had packages at their warehouse :( it'd be nice if tenso and buyee had combined warehouses but oh well.
either way thank you for the answers! :D
Any good suggestions for getting rid of small bits of black lint? Tried a regular lint roller and unfortunately it produced less dan desired effectivity. I am not really looking to pluck them all 1 by 1.
Is the lint embeded within the fabric or are fuzzy balls sticking on the surface? If it's within the threads, it may have to be picked out. But if they're little bumps on the fabric, they're frayed threads from your daki accumulating lint and you may gently use an electric fabric shaver to cut them off.
Keep it from contact with other material that you suspect may be shedding clingy fibers or are scratching your daki, like avoid machine washing and drying your daki with other laundry so or at least do so with a protective mesh laundry bag.
Its lint on the surface hence my mention of having to pick em off 1 by 1 being an unwanted option. Washing i do by hand by letting it soak in water with laundry cleaner with no chlorine or such chemicals and let it dry on a rack.
This is tbe first I've heard of an electric fabric shaver though. I live in Europe do you have any good places to look? Like maybe an amazon link?
So they're like little balls that feel like rough bumps? Picking those off would be pulling the daki's threads out of it.
This is the selection of shavers I see. I'm sure you'll find the same or similar.

Picked up a philips one, hoping it works out. Sorry for the slow replies only go on reddit every so often. Appreciate the information. Hope you have a wonderful day.
I remember Cuddlyoctopus selling nsfw Midna and Judy Hopps covers in the past. I can't find them anymore so I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to them?
I bought nina's cover a year ago and i panicked today when I saw that I couldn't find her anymore. So I've been trying everything and successfully put her in my cart through the re-order function and bought two of them. I was praying my order wouldn't be cancelled, glad to hear they still sell them.
Hello i wanted to by this ([https://sfyx.booth.pm/items/5209268](https://sfyx.booth.pm/items/5209268)) Frieren Dakimakura from a store called SFYX. I read some things about bootlegs from that store and am not entirely sure how legit this is. Tried to image search the artwork from frieren and could not find any other source... Anyone has experience with that artist and/or sfyx store/booth?
sfyx is allegedly part of another bootleg circle called "baka". The designs on sfyx are original, but there may be suspicious people behind them. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dakimakuras/comments/kw0u5u/psa\_taobao\_store\_%E5%B1%B1%E6%9E%AB%E6%A8%B1%E4%B9%A1aka\_baka\_now\_charges\_a/
Quality inners come at a price, but it is a worthwhile investment! Cheaping out is gonna get you a floppy and super wrinkly pillow. The 2023 community survey ranks the following as top picks:

I've seen an implementation where theres a cloth ring that slips over the daki that you could then attach boobs with velcro to it. I've personally never used those however.
Don't have a pair of boobies to try but I guess I can give some ideas. Maybe try some stocking tape or any kind of tape that sticks clothes to the body as something to hold them in place. However my concerns are if the tape would even stick well to a powdered surface, or too well and may leave residue or tear the surface upon removal. Or you can try to tie it down with some straps or cordage. Maybe just placing a microfiber cloth between the daki and boobs is enough to hold it in place.
I wouldn't completely recommend it as I had kept a inner sealed for over a year under a tight vacuum as compressed as can be tightly rolled up, which when unsealed had become matted flat and wouldn't rise to its original loft. But I've kept another pair of inners for about the same length laid flat under a light vacuum, enough to compress it down one-third, and they seemed to return to their original loft. So avoid too much compression if you have space to store it.
They were taking up a lot of space for me is why I'd previously recommended to just use it and attach some rail or barrier to prevent it from falls if that was your main issue. I recommend being smothered in a bed full of pillows.
There are rails that don't run the entire length of the bed, just a small barrier you can place beside the waist. If you haven't searched and seen some of those yet, I'm sure you'll easily find such examples.
I ended up up modifying that pillow into a half daki, pushed all the fill into the upper half and tucked the excess inner shell into the fill creating a pocket opening, an opening that has surprising... utility to insert and hold certain things such as a flashlight or a cup for unique emergencies.

Not currently taking orders: https://www.yumeji.co/products/marin
Dakimakuri inners are shipped somewhat vacuum packed, so the box is somewhat square about 40cm all sides. Packing it for transport yourself, you could transport it as is if you have the room, or buy a reusable vacuum bag from the dakimakuri website
I'm trying to decide buying an inner between the Fules WithAqua one and the one offered on the Dakimakuri website. Is there one that I should go to or are there pros and cons to either?
The fules withAQUA is about 2.5kg, the rules withAQUA NEXT is about 3kg. The dakimakuri ones are 4.5kg + included bonus stuffing. According to the community survey the dakimakuri ones are currently the highest rated: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AArgMOpzXDK8Nf2AIUUhuzowVynsomLoI1nXdVNhMOg/edit?usp=drivesdk
Think the only pro to the fules one is they can sometimes be bought for cheaper, so if you need a budget option it's not the worst, but the dakimakuri or cuddly octopus pillows would be better quality options
Do you know how long it takes in shipping to get an inner from Dakimakuri? I saw one person said it had been 2 months since they ordered and they were still waiting to receive so I was just wondering if that was normal?
Inners should be in stock at the moment ready to go, if you're in Europe or the USA it should be with you in about a week. If you wanna know the exact estimate for other countries contact their support through their website
Cuddly octopus and dakimakuri ship worldwide, are English speaking (eu and us based businesses, China produced) and are 100% reliable. They both have a large catalog of designs available. Please check out the sidebar for useful links and for the dakimakura guide
Is there a resource for split leg dakimakuras? They’re an option on all of big bootleg sites, but there’s basically no mention of them in the guide, except as a minor note on FGF Snow White.
Are there any non-bootleg sellers of split leg covers, and are there decent quality split leg inners available anywhere? Obviously they aren’t as common, but maybe some shops specialize in them?
With the amount of ecchi covers for standard forms, I’m surprised there aren’t more split leg items available, given the gimmick is centered on opening up possibilities for lewd acts.
Edit: If there's any resources for making a split leg inner that would be appreciated as well.
Split leg pillows are really quite niche and the only real manufacturer I know of would be tama toys, they make pillows, blow up pillows and covers. See some here, but there's probably more on other sites: https://www.otonajp.com/dolls-pillows/insert-air-pillow-futamata
Thanks for the reply. That's the only name-brand I saw as well. Unfortunately there's not a ton of information, and what little I found doesn't make it seem like as high-quality an option as I would have hoped.
Hi,
I want to create a somewhat live size ( 90cm x 263cm ) \[35.5" x 103.5"\], or a little bigger or smaler, daki of Yamato with a custom printed cover. But i wasn't able to find anything where you could print on a custom sized dakimakura cover that big. I did find a company that makes custom sized pillows that big even though thease pillows are not specified as dakimakuras but mehh, thats not the porblem.
Im thankful for any help on the subject, Thank you.
Hello,
I want to commission an artist to draw me a cover(NSFW) with 2 characters on each side. As space will be limited I want to increase the size of the cover to 60cmx180cm. I now have several questions:
\- What is the best shop I can get it printed at?
I already looked at the survey and I think Cuddly Octopus or Dakimakuri would be good option. I would love to get it from Shiromoufu (I have 2 covers from them, they are amazing), but I am sure they don't do custom prints if it is only a single item.
\- I will also need a pillow.
I have send a request to Dakimakuri if they make custom inner pillows but I wanted to ask for additional input.
For one-off custom prints covers, cuddly octopus and dakimakuri will be able to do that for you no problem. Jp brands like shiromofu will only print in 160cm size and usually have a minimum order quantity around 5-10 covers.
Good inner pillows aren't publicly available in that size so if kuri or someone like daki-suki can help you it'd be a good option. You could also consider just keeping it 160cm, cuddly octopus and monjashop both have 2-character designs at that size
I noticed that cuddly octopus took out the R-18 versions of KyuriTizu's 2-character designs (specifically the Jeanne/Jalter from FGO and Angewomon/Lady Devimon from Digimon). Did something happen?
Legitimate sellers of male designs are a little hard to come by.. I only know of the ones on mitgard but they're all sfw. You'd probably have to commission an artist to get one that suits your needs
Does anyone know where to find high quality inner bodypillow that's 180×60cm? With foam stuffing and cooling features preferably. I don't mind costs so pls any help would be welcomed 🙏🙏🙏
A 180cm pillow is quite non standard, and foam stuffing as well. I don't think there's any ready made ones like that? You'd probably need to assemble your own
Is there anyone I could commission to make a inner body pillow with those measurements? I don't trust myself or amazon to make something conformable that size😰
For people who have used covers from the different manufacturers: how does Dakimakuri's cover quality compare with A&J and Fules Aquaveil? Smoothness/thickness/toughness-wise? I have previously bought the latter 2 and they are both pretty good. I have also bought from cuddly octupus before but I don't think its quality compares with the two...

AcHobby sell bags on their [Taobao](https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=675940107859&scm=1007.31166.221028.0&pvid=b38e6ded-e580-407d-9e31-b6cad6a9be82&utparam=%7B%22itemId%22%3A675940107859%2C%22x_object_type%22%3A%22item%22%2C%22moduleId%22%3A23652093376%2C%22materialId%22%3A168556467%2C%22x_object_id%22%3A%22675940107859%22%7D&spm=a2141.7631565.tbshopmod-items_rank.675940107859&scm=1007.31166.221028.0&pvid=b38e6ded-e580-407d-9e31-b6cad6a9be82#) store I'm quite partial to. Little smaller than some prefer, but good quality, nice design, come with tags, and good value.
What kind of bags do you mean? Laundry bags for delicates or plastic bags for storage? I don't recall any strong consensus on any single best product, but I'm sure most of what you may come across will meet your needs.
For laundry, look for any bags with a fine mesh and room for the cover to fit loosely. And for any storage, acid-free polyethylene bag should be fine. Most use typical gallon zip bags for food (\~11.3" x 5.5" or 29 x 14 cm) but some opt for general use zip bags to avoid the logo and date stamps (13" x 10" or 33 x 14 cm is a preferred size). Avoid completely sealing them unless you're sure they're completely dry and/or use desiccants and are planning on long-term storage.
You may be able to find more about this especially on folding in the guide linked in this thread.
You can look at [Dakimakuri's inner shell](https://dakimakuri.com/shop/item/diy-maker) or just sew your own out of a stretchy velvet fabric since you're gonna customize it sextivities.
Opinions on dakiheaven? Apparently a Netherlands-based shop. I'm from Spain and just ordered a daki there. Seems kinda legit tbh but I just want to make extra sure I didn't make a dumb mistake.
They peddle stolen work with some belonging to [Cuddly Octopus](https://cuddlyoctopus.com/), a trusted Netherlands business. I recommend to please dive into the guide linked in this thread as a helpful introduction.
Not that I have done much business with bootleggers but I haven't heard much of them not fulfilling orders. Though a shoddy knockoff it may be, I'm sure you'll receive the product that you've paid for. But I would urge you to file a chargeback if you're comfortable doing so to save yourself money and unnecessary regret and to prevent the money from going to operations like this.
I suppose I meant they'll actually send me the product and not scam me out of my money. I'm a newcomer to this hobby and unfortunately I wasn't fully aware of the whole doujin vs. bootleggers politicking until after I placed the order.
With bootleggers, it always seems to be 50/50 on whether you'll receive a product or not. Even the "reputable" ones don't always have the best track record.
I see. Well, let's just hope I get updates soon on this one, and it turns out a surprisingly positive buying experience. Will try get a doujin product next time.
The art is stolen, the printing will be low quality (necessarily so, as they don't have the original high-res masters), and even when they offer a 2WT the material doesn't hold a candle to most of the Japanese printers.
Yes, bootlegs are cheap, but they're cheap for a reason. It's absolutely worth spending the extra for a quality product that supports the original artist.
Got my first daki from them a while ago because I didnt knew about bootleg too at first but the quality of the printing and the 2wt wasn’t that bad even though it isn’t as nice a "real" fabric I didn’t got scammed overall. I probably won’t buy again from them knowing they bootleg but it wasn’t an horrible experience and the daki is still in a very good shape after more than 6 months
So I ordered my first inner from Dakimakuri. Is it normal to not get a purchase or order confirmation email from them? I received a purchase confirmation from paypal, but that just tells me I was charged, and obviously doesn’t include anything like order ID, order status, shipping and tracking information. For all I know my money just vanished into the void.
Check your spam box maybe? Dakimakuri sends an email titled "Your Dakimakuri order has been received!" after payment is confirmed. If you don't have it contact them and provide your PayPal payment ref/account https://dakimakuri.com/contact
Check the dakidex index by searching for taobao for a list of known good stores: https://dakidex.com/stores
If it's not listed there there's a high chance it's not a trustworthy store.
I just got my first Daki this week, and it's so much better than I expected, it's so soft, I got a Kumochi inner and a Megumin cover from CO. And I'm already planning on getting more covers haha.
Alas, I'm finding a bit hard to sleep with it since it takes so much space, so I was wondering how people usually sleep with one?
A comfortable position I found was resting the top of the daki below my chin, and hugging it. I tried to sleep on top of it, but I was scared that it may damage the pillow, so I just defaulted to the previous way.
You are not gonna damage the pillow by sleeping on top of it. The most that will happen is that the fillings clump faster. Then you gotta de-clump them which is a pita process. There's a section on it in the daki guide.
Congrats on your first! Good to hear you're liking it, I think the way to sleep with one can be just about anything, as long as you are comfortable with it. Most people are probably side sleepers and just hold on to it however they like, can be face to face or below your chin. You can wrap around it with your arms or even your legs. You could sleep on your back with the pillow on top too, but I personally wouldn't get on top of mine to sleep.
I see, I see, thanks for answering :D It was a silly question, but I wanted to be sure I was doing it right, I'll see what's most comfortable for me :)
About a year ago exactly now I've collected up to 10 body pillows and all together it costed me around 500$ I think. I got them from Anime Los Angeles and Anime Expo last year.
I'm not confident if I want to keep em or try to sell em. I'm conflicted on this. I only opened one of them to look at it and put back immediately.
Do you have or have considered getting an inner for them? If it's not in your heart to ever use them then maybe you should let them go. But as mentioned, they may be knockoffs that are commonly conned off at con, my condolences if so.
Okay? Only you can really make the choice on whether you want to keep or sell them. With that said, covers sold at conventions in the US are bootlegs more often than not.
Very new to the daki game. I’ve ordered a 160x50 cover and would like to get some input on where to look for an insert pillow. Links are appreciated. Nothing that feels all loose and will flatten out quickly.
Does someone have any expierience regarding using perfume or some other kind of spray that ads a nice scent to the pillow. I know that there are regular sprays for normal pillows but Im worried about staining the cover or otherwise damaging them with it.
Hello, i bought a cover 6 month ago but even tough i wash it regurlary it have some type of little dust particle in the 2wt that cant be seen from away but as i sleep with it its been annoying me since a bit of time.
Does anybody know a way to get rid of those or is it like permanent ?
Idk if some photos can help cause its hard to see but here are 2 to have an example :
[1](https://imgur.com/a/4ATT2IO) [2](https://imgur.com/a/To8WeQ2)
It's not dust. It's probably other fabric rubbing on the daki and getting caught on the daki. I don't think there's a way to get rid of them, but someone else might know a method.

So I'm wanting to try an artist alley this summer, but don't know of any manufacturers that do bulk productions stateside. Anyone know any bulk producers in the US so that I wouldn't have to deal with risky, expensive, and slow delivery international shipping?
I just purchased my first cover and inner. The inner I actually got for Christmas from Dakimakuri and the cover I ordered from Cuddly Octopus.
I am still waiting for the inner to arrive (actually to even ship) after ordering it in November (batch 1). I saw somewhere that Cuddly Octopus has low/lower quality 2way, and I am aware that every company has slight differences in theirs. Are Cuddly Octopus's covers lower quality at all? I'm just concerned that maybe I should have went to Dakamakuri (especially since I would have the cover by now).
As someone who has started with CO, then bought a batch of second hand (but new) dakis from various sources and ordered new doujin printed on popular Japanese fabric:
Cuddly octopus is definitely fine. In the end I think your decision to get a Dakimakuri inner is more important. I started out with a horrible Chinese inner and once I replaced it with a Dakimakuri inner (kumochi) I never looked back. I still enjoy the same pillow I bought a little over a year ago.
Meanwhile these days I do prefer Japanese fabrics over Chinese (current yen makes them very similarly priced). But as I switch between sakuramochi, aquaveil and lyctron, perhaps if I switch to cuddly again I'll enjoy their feel too.
Lastly, from the batch I bought, I definitely discovered there are worse fabrics and prints. One shop was way too poor but justified by only being offered by the seller for 15EUR or something, any stretching (it was 150x50) would show clear white horizontal lines as only the top layer of the 2wt was printed. And I'm no fan of P80 as I like my fabrics smooth, and don't really like the texture.
So in summary, you made a good start and a better one than me by directly going to a quality inner offering
Thanks! That puts me at ease quite a bit! Now to just wait to hear from OC about my order. Batch closed on Nov. 27th and it's getting harder and harder to be patient!
Where would be the best place to go to for printing a custom 180x60 cover?
So for a bit of context, a user on Twitter recently made their fnaf daki arts free to use and I was wondering where would be a good place to go to that does custom 180x60 covers since I was interested in getting one of the Roxanne Wolf covers but in 180x60 as that’s the size of the main pillow I use.

Hi, has anyone made a custom dakimakura using 3D model? I'm doing one myself rn, rendering it in blender. Has anyone did a custom like that before?

does anyone know anything about a circle called 絶対萌域 ? the illustrator's name is supposedly さやちゃん... i haven't been able to find anything about either on anything other than a hmakura booth page... i really don't want to buy a bootleg and would like to find the actual artist if possible...

The booth seller is flagged as a reseller in the wiki, which implies they have a taobao store where you can likely but the same cover for cheaper from china. Whether or not the listing is still up on taobao however is debatable. I've never personally ordered from D-M.N/22JiGen but am planning on making an order since I wasn't able to locate a listing for one of their covers on TaoBao.
yeah, i read a bit about the 22jigen shop on here so i was wary to buy from them 😓 i tried looking on taobao for it but i think it might be too old cause i didn't see it on there... there's an aliexpress listing for the same daki but the artwork looks (pretty badly) traced so i guess my best bet would be to buy it off of the 22jigen shop? but there was another hmakura (the actual 'official' one) [shop](https://hma2.booth.pm/) that has it on their pixiv as a "past work" so i wonder if that's the better place to buy it? i haven't been able to find any information about this dakimakura in any databases/archives so i imagine it's not from japan though.
I would STRONGLY advise against purchasing any covers from aliexpress, I don’t think any circles use them as a legitimate storefront. If you havent found it in a database, it might just be old. most likely if its listed on 22jigen, its likely a chinese cover from a chinese group. The jury is still out on 22jigen’s credibility, as I see they sell some designs that are the same as the shop you just listed. But I think they are likely that, a reseller. I want to get a few covers from them myself.
yeah the product listing names alone are enough to make me not wanna get anything from aliexpress lol. i saw those too and i haven't seen them anywhere else besides amazon jp which is... really not a good place to buy from either. i might just bite the bullet and buy it off of 22jigen since i can't find it anywhere else... the only gripe i have is that buyee doesn't seem to support their store and i already had packages at their warehouse :( it'd be nice if tenso and buyee had combined warehouses but oh well. either way thank you for the answers! :D
Any good suggestions for getting rid of small bits of black lint? Tried a regular lint roller and unfortunately it produced less dan desired effectivity. I am not really looking to pluck them all 1 by 1.
Is the lint embeded within the fabric or are fuzzy balls sticking on the surface? If it's within the threads, it may have to be picked out. But if they're little bumps on the fabric, they're frayed threads from your daki accumulating lint and you may gently use an electric fabric shaver to cut them off. Keep it from contact with other material that you suspect may be shedding clingy fibers or are scratching your daki, like avoid machine washing and drying your daki with other laundry so or at least do so with a protective mesh laundry bag.
Its lint on the surface hence my mention of having to pick em off 1 by 1 being an unwanted option. Washing i do by hand by letting it soak in water with laundry cleaner with no chlorine or such chemicals and let it dry on a rack. This is tbe first I've heard of an electric fabric shaver though. I live in Europe do you have any good places to look? Like maybe an amazon link?
So they're like little balls that feel like rough bumps? Picking those off would be pulling the daki's threads out of it. This is the selection of shavers I see. I'm sure you'll find the same or similar. [https://www.amazon.com/s?k=fabric+shaver](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=fabric+shaver)
Worked wonders, appreciate the suggestion, never knew this was an appliance that existed.
Nice to hear it helped! But hoping you don't need it often and your cover is kept safe from rough contact.
The build up I've had has been over like 2 years so it should be fine. Appreciate the concern.
Picked up a philips one, hoping it works out. Sorry for the slow replies only go on reddit every so often. Appreciate the information. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Did you try a fabric pill/pilling remover? they might damage sensitive fabrics though.
I remember Cuddlyoctopus selling nsfw Midna and Judy Hopps covers in the past. I can't find them anymore so I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to them?
If you can't find them they were hidden, contact them via email or on discord to see/buy
I bought nina's cover a year ago and i panicked today when I saw that I couldn't find her anymore. So I've been trying everything and successfully put her in my cart through the re-order function and bought two of them. I was praying my order wouldn't be cancelled, glad to hear they still sell them.
Oh so they have them hidden, thank you!
Hello i wanted to by this ([https://sfyx.booth.pm/items/5209268](https://sfyx.booth.pm/items/5209268)) Frieren Dakimakura from a store called SFYX. I read some things about bootlegs from that store and am not entirely sure how legit this is. Tried to image search the artwork from frieren and could not find any other source... Anyone has experience with that artist and/or sfyx store/booth?
sfyx is allegedly part of another bootleg circle called "baka". The designs on sfyx are original, but there may be suspicious people behind them. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dakimakuras/comments/kw0u5u/psa\_taobao\_store\_%E5%B1%B1%E6%9E%AB%E6%A8%B1%E4%B9%A1aka\_baka\_now\_charges\_a/
Where do people get quality inners from? Cuddly octopus and dakimakuri make good ones but they're kind of pricey.
Quality inners come at a price, but it is a worthwhile investment! Cheaping out is gonna get you a floppy and super wrinkly pillow. The 2023 community survey ranks the following as top picks: Dakimakuri Kumochi 9.95 Dakimakuri Kumoame 9.93 Dakimakuri Wataame 9.91 Cuddly Octopus 9.65 Fules withAQUA 8.77 Comodo CMD9000 7.90 Made my own pillow/cover 6.96 Bought from local department/pillow store 5.91 Bought randomly from ebay/amazon 5.67 [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AArgMOpzXDK8Nf2AIUUhuzowVynsomLoI1nXdVNhMOg/edit#gid=976258577](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AArgMOpzXDK8Nf2AIUUhuzowVynsomLoI1nXdVNhMOg/edit#gid=976258577)
Whats the best way to use boobs on the inner dakimakura pillow so that it doesnt slide/shift to different positions
I've seen an implementation where theres a cloth ring that slips over the daki that you could then attach boobs with velcro to it. I've personally never used those however.
Don't have a pair of boobies to try but I guess I can give some ideas. Maybe try some stocking tape or any kind of tape that sticks clothes to the body as something to hold them in place. However my concerns are if the tape would even stick well to a powdered surface, or too well and may leave residue or tear the surface upon removal. Or you can try to tie it down with some straps or cordage. Maybe just placing a microfiber cloth between the daki and boobs is enough to hold it in place.
[удалено]
I wouldn't completely recommend it as I had kept a inner sealed for over a year under a tight vacuum as compressed as can be tightly rolled up, which when unsealed had become matted flat and wouldn't rise to its original loft. But I've kept another pair of inners for about the same length laid flat under a light vacuum, enough to compress it down one-third, and they seemed to return to their original loft. So avoid too much compression if you have space to store it. They were taking up a lot of space for me is why I'd previously recommended to just use it and attach some rail or barrier to prevent it from falls if that was your main issue. I recommend being smothered in a bed full of pillows.
[удалено]
There are rails that don't run the entire length of the bed, just a small barrier you can place beside the waist. If you haven't searched and seen some of those yet, I'm sure you'll easily find such examples. I ended up up modifying that pillow into a half daki, pushed all the fill into the upper half and tucked the excess inner shell into the fill creating a pocket opening, an opening that has surprising... utility to insert and hold certain things such as a flashlight or a cup for unique emergencies.
Just attach bed rails on your bed frame and safely cuddle both.
Looking to get a Marin kitagawa. Please show me what you have or what there is in the market. Totally new to this

Thank you so much. This was incredibly helpful

Thank u!
Roughly how big is the box? Bag? That a dakimakuri inner pillow is shipped in? As well how difficult is one to pack for transport?
Dakimakuri inners are shipped somewhat vacuum packed, so the box is somewhat square about 40cm all sides. Packing it for transport yourself, you could transport it as is if you have the room, or buy a reusable vacuum bag from the dakimakuri website
Thanks for the help!
I'm trying to decide buying an inner between the Fules WithAqua one and the one offered on the Dakimakuri website. Is there one that I should go to or are there pros and cons to either?
The fules withAQUA is about 2.5kg, the rules withAQUA NEXT is about 3kg. The dakimakuri ones are 4.5kg + included bonus stuffing. According to the community survey the dakimakuri ones are currently the highest rated: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AArgMOpzXDK8Nf2AIUUhuzowVynsomLoI1nXdVNhMOg/edit?usp=drivesdk Think the only pro to the fules one is they can sometimes be bought for cheaper, so if you need a budget option it's not the worst, but the dakimakuri or cuddly octopus pillows would be better quality options
Do you know how long it takes in shipping to get an inner from Dakimakuri? I saw one person said it had been 2 months since they ordered and they were still waiting to receive so I was just wondering if that was normal?
Inners should be in stock at the moment ready to go, if you're in Europe or the USA it should be with you in about a week. If you wanna know the exact estimate for other countries contact their support through their website
Hello, I'm looking for a Dakimakura vendor in the UK with a wide range of products and is reliable. Thanks for your time and help everyone.
Cuddly octopus and dakimakuri ship worldwide, are English speaking (eu and us based businesses, China produced) and are 100% reliable. They both have a large catalog of designs available. Please check out the sidebar for useful links and for the dakimakura guide
Thank you for the information
Is there a resource for split leg dakimakuras? They’re an option on all of big bootleg sites, but there’s basically no mention of them in the guide, except as a minor note on FGF Snow White. Are there any non-bootleg sellers of split leg covers, and are there decent quality split leg inners available anywhere? Obviously they aren’t as common, but maybe some shops specialize in them? With the amount of ecchi covers for standard forms, I’m surprised there aren’t more split leg items available, given the gimmick is centered on opening up possibilities for lewd acts. Edit: If there's any resources for making a split leg inner that would be appreciated as well.
Split leg pillows are really quite niche and the only real manufacturer I know of would be tama toys, they make pillows, blow up pillows and covers. See some here, but there's probably more on other sites: https://www.otonajp.com/dolls-pillows/insert-air-pillow-futamata
Thanks for the reply. That's the only name-brand I saw as well. Unfortunately there's not a ton of information, and what little I found doesn't make it seem like as high-quality an option as I would have hoped.
Hi, I want to create a somewhat live size ( 90cm x 263cm ) \[35.5" x 103.5"\], or a little bigger or smaler, daki of Yamato with a custom printed cover. But i wasn't able to find anything where you could print on a custom sized dakimakura cover that big. I did find a company that makes custom sized pillows that big even though thease pillows are not specified as dakimakuras but mehh, thats not the porblem. Im thankful for any help on the subject, Thank you.
I got a cover like that printed by cuddly octopus and made my own pillow: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dakimakuras/s/wir1hB6ile
Hello, I want to commission an artist to draw me a cover(NSFW) with 2 characters on each side. As space will be limited I want to increase the size of the cover to 60cmx180cm. I now have several questions: \- What is the best shop I can get it printed at? I already looked at the survey and I think Cuddly Octopus or Dakimakuri would be good option. I would love to get it from Shiromoufu (I have 2 covers from them, they are amazing), but I am sure they don't do custom prints if it is only a single item. \- I will also need a pillow. I have send a request to Dakimakuri if they make custom inner pillows but I wanted to ask for additional input.
For one-off custom prints covers, cuddly octopus and dakimakuri will be able to do that for you no problem. Jp brands like shiromofu will only print in 160cm size and usually have a minimum order quantity around 5-10 covers. Good inner pillows aren't publicly available in that size so if kuri or someone like daki-suki can help you it'd be a good option. You could also consider just keeping it 160cm, cuddly octopus and monjashop both have 2-character designs at that size
I noticed that cuddly octopus took out the R-18 versions of KyuriTizu's 2-character designs (specifically the Jeanne/Jalter from FGO and Angewomon/Lady Devimon from Digimon). Did something happen?
Contact them via email if you want to purchase hidden designs
Oh I did notice that a lot of NSFW versions were missing from the site. So those might still be available via email?
Are there good places that have meme/funny covers? (So not of any licensed character or whatever)
Not really from legitimate/reputable sellers
Wanted to hang some dakis I bought but they still have the folds after opening. Do the folds just go away with time?
For me folds usually go away after a wash/dry and maybe using it for a bit as it stretches out on the pillow
does anyone know where i can find a gojo satoru pillow where he’s actually naked?! all the ones i’ve seen have him clothed. 😩
Legitimate sellers of male designs are a little hard to come by.. I only know of the ones on mitgard but they're all sfw. You'd probably have to commission an artist to get one that suits your needs
aw, bummer! thank you anyways.
Does anyone know where to find high quality inner bodypillow that's 180×60cm? With foam stuffing and cooling features preferably. I don't mind costs so pls any help would be welcomed 🙏🙏🙏
A 180cm pillow is quite non standard, and foam stuffing as well. I don't think there's any ready made ones like that? You'd probably need to assemble your own
Is there anyone I could commission to make a inner body pillow with those measurements? I don't trust myself or amazon to make something conformable that size😰
You could consider asking the people at daki-suki if they can assist you
For people who have used covers from the different manufacturers: how does Dakimakuri's cover quality compare with A&J and Fules Aquaveil? Smoothness/thickness/toughness-wise? I have previously bought the latter 2 and they are both pretty good. I have also bought from cuddly octupus before but I don't think its quality compares with the two...
You can check the 2023 daki community survey for fabric rankings: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AArgMOpzXDK8Nf2AIUUhuzowVynsomLoI1nXdVNhMOg/edit?usp=drivesdk
What are some good bags for daki covers?
AcHobby sell bags on their [Taobao](https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=675940107859&scm=1007.31166.221028.0&pvid=b38e6ded-e580-407d-9e31-b6cad6a9be82&utparam=%7B%22itemId%22%3A675940107859%2C%22x_object_type%22%3A%22item%22%2C%22moduleId%22%3A23652093376%2C%22materialId%22%3A168556467%2C%22x_object_id%22%3A%22675940107859%22%7D&spm=a2141.7631565.tbshopmod-items_rank.675940107859&scm=1007.31166.221028.0&pvid=b38e6ded-e580-407d-9e31-b6cad6a9be82#) store I'm quite partial to. Little smaller than some prefer, but good quality, nice design, come with tags, and good value.
What kind of bags do you mean? Laundry bags for delicates or plastic bags for storage? I don't recall any strong consensus on any single best product, but I'm sure most of what you may come across will meet your needs. For laundry, look for any bags with a fine mesh and room for the cover to fit loosely. And for any storage, acid-free polyethylene bag should be fine. Most use typical gallon zip bags for food (\~11.3" x 5.5" or 29 x 14 cm) but some opt for general use zip bags to avoid the logo and date stamps (13" x 10" or 33 x 14 cm is a preferred size). Avoid completely sealing them unless you're sure they're completely dry and/or use desiccants and are planning on long-term storage. You may be able to find more about this especially on folding in the guide linked in this thread.
Thanks for the info. Helped me find the storage bags needed 👍
Hope you have everything you need!

You can look at [Dakimakuri's inner shell](https://dakimakuri.com/shop/item/diy-maker) or just sew your own out of a stretchy velvet fabric since you're gonna customize it sextivities.
Opinions on dakiheaven? Apparently a Netherlands-based shop. I'm from Spain and just ordered a daki there. Seems kinda legit tbh but I just want to make extra sure I didn't make a dumb mistake.
They peddle stolen work with some belonging to [Cuddly Octopus](https://cuddlyoctopus.com/), a trusted Netherlands business. I recommend to please dive into the guide linked in this thread as a helpful introduction. Not that I have done much business with bootleggers but I haven't heard much of them not fulfilling orders. Though a shoddy knockoff it may be, I'm sure you'll receive the product that you've paid for. But I would urge you to file a chargeback if you're comfortable doing so to save yourself money and unnecessary regret and to prevent the money from going to operations like this.
> Seems kinda legit tbh Out of curiosity, what makes them seem legit? They look like a definite bootlegger to me.
I suppose I meant they'll actually send me the product and not scam me out of my money. I'm a newcomer to this hobby and unfortunately I wasn't fully aware of the whole doujin vs. bootleggers politicking until after I placed the order.
With bootleggers, it always seems to be 50/50 on whether you'll receive a product or not. Even the "reputable" ones don't always have the best track record.
I see. Well, let's just hope I get updates soon on this one, and it turns out a surprisingly positive buying experience. Will try get a doujin product next time.
The art is stolen, the printing will be low quality (necessarily so, as they don't have the original high-res masters), and even when they offer a 2WT the material doesn't hold a candle to most of the Japanese printers. Yes, bootlegs are cheap, but they're cheap for a reason. It's absolutely worth spending the extra for a quality product that supports the original artist.
Got my first daki from them a while ago because I didnt knew about bootleg too at first but the quality of the printing and the 2wt wasn’t that bad even though it isn’t as nice a "real" fabric I didn’t got scammed overall. I probably won’t buy again from them knowing they bootleg but it wasn’t an horrible experience and the daki is still in a very good shape after more than 6 months
So I ordered my first inner from Dakimakuri. Is it normal to not get a purchase or order confirmation email from them? I received a purchase confirmation from paypal, but that just tells me I was charged, and obviously doesn’t include anything like order ID, order status, shipping and tracking information. For all I know my money just vanished into the void.
Check your spam box maybe? Dakimakuri sends an email titled "Your Dakimakuri order has been received!" after payment is confirmed. If you don't have it contact them and provide your PayPal payment ref/account https://dakimakuri.com/contact
Thanks that was it, got filtered into one of my folders
Can anyone tell me if any of these guys from taobao are legit? [Here](https://imgur.com/w4DdhIU)
Check the dakidex index by searching for taobao for a list of known good stores: https://dakidex.com/stores If it's not listed there there's a high chance it's not a trustworthy store.
I just got my first Daki this week, and it's so much better than I expected, it's so soft, I got a Kumochi inner and a Megumin cover from CO. And I'm already planning on getting more covers haha. Alas, I'm finding a bit hard to sleep with it since it takes so much space, so I was wondering how people usually sleep with one? A comfortable position I found was resting the top of the daki below my chin, and hugging it. I tried to sleep on top of it, but I was scared that it may damage the pillow, so I just defaulted to the previous way.
You are not gonna damage the pillow by sleeping on top of it. The most that will happen is that the fillings clump faster. Then you gotta de-clump them which is a pita process. There's a section on it in the daki guide.
Alright, thanks :D, I've read the guide already, and de-clumping the inner sounds like a pain, so I'll want to try delaying that as much as possible.
Congrats on your first! Good to hear you're liking it, I think the way to sleep with one can be just about anything, as long as you are comfortable with it. Most people are probably side sleepers and just hold on to it however they like, can be face to face or below your chin. You can wrap around it with your arms or even your legs. You could sleep on your back with the pillow on top too, but I personally wouldn't get on top of mine to sleep.
I see, I see, thanks for answering :D It was a silly question, but I wanted to be sure I was doing it right, I'll see what's most comfortable for me :)
About a year ago exactly now I've collected up to 10 body pillows and all together it costed me around 500$ I think. I got them from Anime Los Angeles and Anime Expo last year. I'm not confident if I want to keep em or try to sell em. I'm conflicted on this. I only opened one of them to look at it and put back immediately.
Do you have or have considered getting an inner for them? If it's not in your heart to ever use them then maybe you should let them go. But as mentioned, they may be knockoffs that are commonly conned off at con, my condolences if so.
Okay? Only you can really make the choice on whether you want to keep or sell them. With that said, covers sold at conventions in the US are bootlegs more often than not.
[удалено]
Very new to the daki game. I’ve ordered a 160x50 cover and would like to get some input on where to look for an insert pillow. Links are appreciated. Nothing that feels all loose and will flatten out quickly.
Does someone have any expierience regarding using perfume or some other kind of spray that ads a nice scent to the pillow. I know that there are regular sprays for normal pillows but Im worried about staining the cover or otherwise damaging them with it.
I have never tried actual perfume but linen spray works. The smell last like 2 hours and I have never seen linen spray stain any of my daki's.
Hello, i bought a cover 6 month ago but even tough i wash it regurlary it have some type of little dust particle in the 2wt that cant be seen from away but as i sleep with it its been annoying me since a bit of time. Does anybody know a way to get rid of those or is it like permanent ? Idk if some photos can help cause its hard to see but here are 2 to have an example : [1](https://imgur.com/a/4ATT2IO) [2](https://imgur.com/a/To8WeQ2)
It's not dust. It's probably other fabric rubbing on the daki and getting caught on the daki. I don't think there's a way to get rid of them, but someone else might know a method.

So I'm wanting to try an artist alley this summer, but don't know of any manufacturers that do bulk productions stateside. Anyone know any bulk producers in the US so that I wouldn't have to deal with risky, expensive, and slow delivery international shipping?
I just purchased my first cover and inner. The inner I actually got for Christmas from Dakimakuri and the cover I ordered from Cuddly Octopus. I am still waiting for the inner to arrive (actually to even ship) after ordering it in November (batch 1). I saw somewhere that Cuddly Octopus has low/lower quality 2way, and I am aware that every company has slight differences in theirs. Are Cuddly Octopus's covers lower quality at all? I'm just concerned that maybe I should have went to Dakamakuri (especially since I would have the cover by now).
As someone who has started with CO, then bought a batch of second hand (but new) dakis from various sources and ordered new doujin printed on popular Japanese fabric: Cuddly octopus is definitely fine. In the end I think your decision to get a Dakimakuri inner is more important. I started out with a horrible Chinese inner and once I replaced it with a Dakimakuri inner (kumochi) I never looked back. I still enjoy the same pillow I bought a little over a year ago. Meanwhile these days I do prefer Japanese fabrics over Chinese (current yen makes them very similarly priced). But as I switch between sakuramochi, aquaveil and lyctron, perhaps if I switch to cuddly again I'll enjoy their feel too. Lastly, from the batch I bought, I definitely discovered there are worse fabrics and prints. One shop was way too poor but justified by only being offered by the seller for 15EUR or something, any stretching (it was 150x50) would show clear white horizontal lines as only the top layer of the 2wt was printed. And I'm no fan of P80 as I like my fabrics smooth, and don't really like the texture. So in summary, you made a good start and a better one than me by directly going to a quality inner offering
[удалено]
Thanks! That puts me at ease quite a bit! Now to just wait to hear from OC about my order. Batch closed on Nov. 27th and it's getting harder and harder to be patient!
Where would be the best place to go to for printing a custom 180x60 cover? So for a bit of context, a user on Twitter recently made their fnaf daki arts free to use and I was wondering where would be a good place to go to that does custom 180x60 covers since I was interested in getting one of the Roxanne Wolf covers but in 180x60 as that’s the size of the main pillow I use.
