Dress Up Your Human-Shaped Hug Pillow for Endless Cuddle Possibilites
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Hug pillows (or dakimakura) have an established fanbase with limited edition character covers sold exclusively at Comiket and other anime and game events. The covers can be pretty pricey, and in the end, the pillow can't hug you back. Goods producer Bibi Lab are out to fix that.
The idea was conceived to improve the lonely period of people's lives. The wife is "full of unconditional love" and measures 150cm tall (about 5'0"). The husband is an "unintrusive gentleman" and measures 165cm (about 5'4"). Each is a body-shaped pillow stuffed inside a washable cover.
Things your new spouse can do with you, according to Bibi Labs:
Cosplay
Snuggle
Help prevent home invasion
Go with you on a leisurely drive
Attend your Christmas party
Kabe-don
Watch TV
The Cotton Wife retails for 8,400 yen (about US$71) and the Cotton Husband retails for 10,800 yen (US$91).
