Two months ago madmonkey found the boyfriend pillow, and now he sends along the equivalent - the LAP pillow. A little research finds that 3000 of them have already been sold - at $90 per.

"Single men find this soothing," said Mitsuo Takahashi of the manufacturer Trane KK.

He told AFP that the Hizamakura, or lap pillow, fulfilled a primal need.

"From the time people were kids, people have laid their heads on their mothers' laps to get their ears cleaned," he said. "This is made to be quite close to the real thing."


Um.

That one guy is grabbing his primal mother's ass.

The last story before the credits on Action News today was the lap pillow.

You scooped them by about 6 minutes, UT!

I'd be more surprized if I didn't! Local news are bottom feeders now!

Boyfriend pillow,lap pillow...
Hmm.. if we can't sell the entire doll,
so lets chop it up and sell it in pieces.

Oh dear....I wonder if they're anatomically correct.

Only in Japan would this kind of thing have a panty shot included!

Yeah, it doesn't look like Mother's lap is what its all about.

More like lapping mother. But, then again, she didn't say no. :)

Here's a chair to go with it. :rolleyes:

I wonder if it has a warmer inside. I wonder how many Japanese men buy two and stage some lap on lap action. Why did they leave off the upper torso - seems like that would stimulate... uh.. sales. I wonder how long before they come out with one with a pleated, plaid miniskirt and knee socks.

Bruce- I love that chair. Couldn't see the image until I hit the "reply" button. Neck support right between the breasts. Do you have a link for it?

I was going to say that the Japanese must be thigh men, judging from the pillow. Submissive thighs in fact. But I'm so distracted by Bruce's chair....

That chair was part of a window display in a clothing store. Most likely one of a kind. :apimp:
