I'm sure you've seen the Boyfriend's Arm pillow, created by Kameo Corporation. By the way, it looks like they're taking international orders for them now.

Anyway, I've got something worse for you. It's the same concept, but aimed at a different audience altogether. The "Lap Pillow" is best explained by the following pic:

Yeah. "Read more" for a translated interview with the developer.

A pillow called the "Lap Pillow" will be released. It is a pillow imitating a woman's legs made from urethane foam.

Just like I'm sure you understand as you look at the picture, this product has quite an impact. Although it's a pillow, it's wearing a skirt. Not just any skirt -- a tight miniskirt, even.

I went to ask the seller of this product, Trane Corporation (translator's note: not related to Trane of America, famous for air conditioners), why and how this product was created.

-A lap pillow o­n the reception table

Without warning, there was a lap pillow o­n top of the reception table as if to say "welcome." I took a business card that was next to the lap pillow. This is a first for me.

Just looking at this "Lap Pillow" made my heart race, but touching it made my heart race even faster. The sensation of softly sticking to the skin-like texture...the polyester tight skirt. It's real.

"Damn..."

About a minute passed while thinking about those things. That's right, I have to do an interview.

-The Troublesome Details

...What's your aim with this product?

"Well, not o­nly a toy for children, but we wanted it to also be a product for adults."

It was aimed at males from their late teens to early twenties, but it seems like there has also been quite a reaction from males in their 30s to 50s or 60s. Or at least that's what I thought.

...What were some problem points?

"There's a small notch in the leg part; the plastic construction for this was quite difficult."

It's because of this notch that you can take the skirt o­n and off.

"The people at the plant asked me why we couldn't simply just cover it up with a flared skirt, but I couldn't agree to that."

This product is trouble. Surely there are some other troublesome details.

"Our opinions were divided between thinking it would be better to make the stomach fat or thin. We decided o­n making it fat."

That's right. I answered completely based o­n my personal preferences.

...Wait a minute, can't you see the panties?

"Not from a normal angle."

Right, that's because I'm peeking inside.

-It's for healing

One thing Mr. Ikarashi wanted to appeal to me was the healing powers of this product.

"Not 'it's nasty,' but 'it's pleasent.'"

According to a survey collected by Mr. Ikarashi himself, the image associated with the lap pillow is "relief." Not excitement.

The "Lap Pillow" is an ultra-fine healing good.
