Lap Pillow' Offers Solace to Lonely Men
Wed Dec 15, 2004 09:49 AM ET
TOKYO (Reuters) - Single or lonely Japanese men may get lucky this
Christmas.
One popular item for holiday shoppers is the "lap pillow," with
skin-colored polyurethene calves folded under soft thighs -- a comfy
cushion for napping, reading or watching television.
The 9,429 yen ($90) pillow, which comes with one red and one black
skirt, went on sale in late November and maker Trane Co Ltd says
shipments have reached 3,000 in just a few weeks.
"We created this item to help tired people relax," said Makoto
Igarashi, Trane's managing director.
Care was taken with details such as the softness of the thighs, panty
lines on the pillow's "backside" and wrinkles in the lap of the skirt
so as to make the pillow look and feel as real as possible.
"We thought our main customers would be men in their 20s, but even men
in their 60s are buying it," Igarashi said.
At stores, lap pillows gather crowds where people poke and pry at the
foam legs.
"I think this may be good for single men, but it could cause trouble
for someone who is married," said Shingo Shibata, a 27-year-old
company employee browsing at a toy store which sells the pillow.
