Boyfriend Arm Pillow a sales success
The Boyfriend Arm Pillow is a Japanese product aimed at Japanese
who
like sleeping with their head on their partner's chest but don't
have
a partner to do it with, or have given up on the standard model
and
are trying to reconstruct a better boyfriend.
So far they've got the shape right and have it padded
appropriately
for comfort, they've eliminated all the sounds and smells of the
standard boyfriend and have even added an alarm clock which
gently
shakes the arm when it's time to get up.
The synthetic boyfriend is not a full body pillow, only offering
half length,
We are unaware at this point of any after-market accessories for
the
product though we figure an inbuilt electric blanket would be
good for
cold nights. And perhaps a nice strong slow heartbeat and maybe
an MP3
jukeboox with access to long loops of recorded audio such as
rain
beating on a tin roof, hours of sweet talking, a comprehensive
library
of self esteem affirmations, the life works of Barry White and
...
Only time will tell if women outside Japan decide the Boyfriend
Arm
Pillow is a viable alternative to the real thing. At US$77, it
requires no further maintenance other than occasional fluffing,
and
has no running costs and we suspect there's a hug latent market
for
women of all nationalities who have decided that the White
Knight
might not be coming.
Quite a few Japanese sites offer the Boyfriend Arm Pillow and
manufacturer Kameo is looking to distribute the pillow in other
countries based on the popularity of item. There is also an
unconfirmed report that a limited edition Girlfriend Arm Pillow
will
be trailed.
