Dunno why they'd chose lavender.
Nothing says "little sister" like strawberry.

Also, inb4 arguing about how creepy this is/isn't.

Seems weird as hell to even want a body sized pillow of a fictional character anyway, but hey. If that's what people are into nowadays, go ahead *yeshrug*

Lavender is good for covering powerful biological funks, it's true. Doesn't get rid of stains though. They should have gone with camomile.

Maybe it should come with a bar of soap and a sense of self-respect.

Lavender has soothing smell/scent that helps you sleep. I drink a cup of lavender tea every night with honey to help myself fall asleep.

Doesn't seem weird to me that people want to buy a piece merchandise of characters they like/think are cute. Some people even use them as comfort objects to cure sadness.
It's basically the same as buying a Winnie the Pooh bed sheet.

Nowadays?
Body pillows with anime/game characters on them have been around since the 1990s.
