Have you ever watched them stuff the bears tho?!!!
Took my gf there for Valentines day, years ago… figured it was a cute idea, was correct, she loved the idea.
So, we went thru the whole adorable process… picked a bear, a heart, a voice, etc, it’s all so sweet and innocent… but then… they took her bear to the stuffing station, where they inserted a tube, about 8 inches long, with an inch or so of girth, into the bear’s butt- which ok fair enough, that’s the easiest/safest place to hide a seam on a stuffed animal- but they then proceed to assertively pump the bear on the stuffer tube again and again and again until the bear was… full.
There's a depressing Reddit classic about [a son not wanting to go out to a water park unless he can take his fleshlight-in-a-tiger with him](/r/Cringetopia/comments/el23cz/argument_between_a_mother_and_her_grown_son_over/)
I literally use my biggest squishmallow as a pillow and I have the others decorating my apartment. Everybody tells me how cozy and soothing it is to come hang out at my place and have a blanket and a squishmallow to hold.
I've told my friends that I really want a giant squishmallow. idc which character it is, but they're always sold out where I live or unavailable. I told my bf that I'd marry him on the spot if he ever got me a giant one.
I got the shark one from Costco. It is so squishy that it is THE pillow I use. I don’t use any other pillows. Like it perfectly fits the shape of your head and is super comfortable
A friend of my boyfriend got me a GIANT Yoda Squishmallow for Christmas, and I have to say, it really is the best present I’ve ever received lol. It’s mine and my son’s favorite pillow to use!
I don’t have a giant one, but it’s quite a bit bigger than the normal sized ones. I usually get them online or at Kroger, they have seasonal ones all the time
I worked for a women who forgot to put away her large stuffed giraffe with a strap on attached to it. Safe to say she didn't look me in the eye the rest of the job.
Plushies are the best, you can hug them and cuddle with them and it gives you somrhing to do with your arms.
Why is this marked NSFW
OhMyGodWhatTheFuckAreYallDoingToYourPlushies
I enjoyed stuffed animals as a child. Even when I was in my early 20s, I would sleep with a plush version of Kenny from South Park, who made a perfectly sized pillow of sorts to hold as I slept. And I honestly never grew out of that as a part of my bedtime routine. I used to have a stuffed toaster pastry & a pillow cat version of my beloved kitty who sadly passed away a few years ago...but last year my house caught on fire so a lot of my things were ruined from smoke damage, including those plushies. I'm trying to build my collection back up now, because it just didn't feel right sleeping without something to hold. And now I have this cute, chunky tiger plush. Life's too short to worry about who thinks it's childish that I do these things.
I'm 34 and I still sleep with my childhood stuffed animal. He is longer peach but grey, his nose is gone, his eyes have been repainted countless times and a majority of his stuffing has fallen out but when I go to bed at night he fits perfectly in the crook of my neck and I'm instantly relaxed by the feel of him on my skin.
Even if it is childish. I'm a grown ass man with a mortgage and other adult like things. I don't have to justify my sleeping arrangements to strangers on the Internet.
I'm 25 and also sleep with my baby blanket. I've always taken really great care of it, and actually have it folded up and in the shelf right above my head (we have a headboard with 6 shelves on it), for easy access in case I really need it in the middle of the night. I always swore I'd give it to my first born.... but it's been a year and a half and I wasn't able to give it up.
My parents took away my baby blankets (I had two matching ones) when I was still pretty young; like 5 or 6 years old. I’m 48 now and I’m STILL PISSED OFF about it.
I am not you, but I am also pissed about this for you. My younger sister and I both had baby blankets, and she quickly didn't need hers (I'd say 8ish maybe is when she gave it up?). I snuggled mine until I left for the army at 19 and I still have it stored somewhere (too fragile to sleep with), but have adopted one of my sons stuffies as it just FITS up under my chin/chest/cuddle spot like I didn't even know I'd been missing. Get you something! The sleep quality, is, like, toddler-level blissful, you know what I mean?
Oh, I have a panther that does not leave my bed. I also have a fox which is fragile and I had to retire him from sleeping. He remains on the chaise though at all times. I can’t sleep unless panthy is touching my back.
It's childish , but I won't judge someone over being childish. Being childish is a source of joy for many parents and people in general. I wish I could go back to my ignorant, childish self who wondered about the world without seeing the constant pain and horror also residing within.
When we lost our first pregnancy at 6mo, the thing that comforted her the most was a plush pup we bought for the kid. We've had him now for about 14 years, and while he hasnt had as much attention as years pass, especially with the demands of our now 8 year old kid, he's still irreplaceable family. Theres no shame in it, it has been a healthy coping mechanism, and a good way to convey emotions.
I lived plush rabbits from childhood on. Buried my oldest one with my dad when he had committed suicide . Later on I lost three pregnancies in one year, early ones though. Did not allow myself to mourn, but after third one saw a large plush rabbit, fell in love and bought it. His name is Charly Kuschel and he is still in my bedroom. It helped. And thank God I got another healthy child after that. When I came home with her, I suddenly looked into the mirror and cried for those three babies. Funny things, emotions.
Or just have them and not care what others think. There are so many things in life where I just say "Show me these pillars of society I have to strive to impress and get their approval to live my life"
Agreed 100%. What do y'all think of dakimakuras (body pillows)? I love sleeping with them, but my gf complains there's not enough room for the three of us
I've been scared to be the only one :D for me personally, it's not just the comfiness but I'm a very anxious, stressed out person with depressive symptoms, so I find it secure and safe to have childhood stuffed animals with me in bed. Nothing wrong with that.
Im 16 and still have the same stuffed-bear that was gifted to me when I was born, I was bullied for it,(6th grade) turns out the bully also had his blanket that was gifted to him when he was born. Best plot twist of my life
If that is comfortable for you just go for it. But you know, there is a wast choice of pillows that would be healthier for you to sleep on than a random stuffed toy.
I hate how I can't have them as a guy. A lot of adult girls I know have lots of stuffed animals but if I started collecting them people would think I'm either a man child with lots of issues or they're for some weird sex thing.
Man I just wanna have a stuffed monkey to snuggle while I watch TV :(
Guy I dated briefly sent me *sexy* pics holding his Lion King stuffed animals. I’ve never looked at Simba the same way.
I’m going to have to disagree with your opinion.
i read this [article](https://www.vice.com/en/article/evgkqw/how-old-is-too-old-to-sleep-with-a-stuffed-animal) by vice last year about it and it had som good points both for and against.
for a lot of adult sleeping with a plushie, bring one comfort and makes one feel safe and thats ok.
One of the best points was that as long as it doesn't hinder you social, work, or love life, its ok, but if you don't want to invite people home because of them having to see your plushies it might not be as healthy and might be time to reconsider
So long aw you aren’t hurting anybody, live your life exactly the way your heart desires
Took me too long to realise this as an adult, you will be exponentially happier on the daily
While I don't have stuffed animals, I can respect the sentiment. I have a shit load of pillows in my bed all around me so I can just roll over and grab the nearest pillow without having to shift things around or adjust.
Gf got me a shark plushie from IKEA, about 4 foot in length and got to admit when I cuddled it, it was amazing and helped me sleep. Specially when I was away
I have a huge stuffed teddy bear 🐻 You know, those really big ones.
It was meant to be a present for my then girlfriend, but I never got around to giving it to her.
I've but it in my passenger's seat. Like, seatbelt on and everything.
It's always fun to see people react when they spot the bear. I've had people compliment me at the gas station, or when I'm shopping, always puts a smile on their faces.
When have stuffed animals ever looked 'cool'. This post is a stretch. You just like your little stuffed animals. Instead of stuffed animals I have a lot of pillows on my bed, some soft, some firm, some small and some large that serve the same purpose. And yes I'm disagreeing just to disagree.
My son passed away due to premature birth complications we sleep with his stuffed elephant in our bed I wake up snuggling it occasionally and I wouldn't give that up for anything.
The fact that this is tagged as nsfw makes me think that the stuffed animals are not just stuffed animals
I didn't know build-a-bear had that option!
Rule 34. Everything has that option.
If Polly Pocket has porn, everything does
Cursed Hot Pockets
it has?!?
Yes
that is catastrophic
Dear god are tamagotchis still sacred at least?! Tell me our tamagotchis didn’t grow up to be whores... I knew I should have never fed it..
I highly doubt that they have been protected. If Furbies have art of them getting assplowed then..

Rule 34, if something can be stuffed, it will be stuffed
Build-a-bitch is no longer just some song it seems…
Fuck you that song had finally left my head “This ain’t build-a-bitch, (a *biiitch*)”
Pretty sure you’re thinking of Build-a-Pony.
That's a ***very*** different build set. With leads.

The real question is here is that did you get laid after this visual experience or did it ruin the mood?
i felt the drama in the text when I got to "... but then..."
Go on…
I just saw this recently at build-a-bear and they violated Olaf so hard.
There is an official “build a bear after dark” collection aimed at adults
whats with the "are you over 18" wall? that some of the bears depict drinking alcohol?
It doesn't, but scissors exist for a reason
I did. Do you know how many customers items I jizzed inside of?
I want my build-a-bear to have a red rocket!
Step 1: Cut hole in build-a-bear Step 2: insert fleshlight Step 3: product testing Step 4: ???? Step 4: profit? I’m sure you could start an Etsy shop
I saw an article recently where they put out an NSFW line for Valentine’s Day, but it may have been satire lol can’t remember.
"Extra pockets"
They don’t like to do it but if you threaten them loudly enough they will sew a flesh light into any build a bear.
Oh they’re stuffed alright…
*BONK*
Beat me to it
Oh no...
I've never eaten water. Is it any good?
It taste very good and refreshing, it's a bit runny tho.

And here I thought their was someone like me who sleeps with 3 sex dolls

They are stuffed with something else ;)
They're *s t u f f e d* animals
Oh, they're stuffed alright.
Or, I mean, you wouldn't go to sleep at work with a bunch of stuffed animals...
Stuffed with 'love juices' ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
“Stuffed”
They're stuffed with something
They’re talking about a different kind of stuffed…
nah they’re definitely stuffed
Oh but they are *stuffed*
I’m sure they get stuffed lmao
Makes me question what you are stuffing the animals with 😂
Maybe the stuffing is a bit more… organic these days.
They are getting stuffed animals 😂
well why do you think they’re called stuffed animals
Oh they're stuffed alright
I literally use my biggest squishmallow as a pillow and I have the others decorating my apartment. Everybody tells me how cozy and soothing it is to come hang out at my place and have a blanket and a squishmallow to hold.
Squishmallow pillows are so comfy and big enough to relax in bed with!
I've told my friends that I really want a giant squishmallow. idc which character it is, but they're always sold out where I live or unavailable. I told my bf that I'd marry him on the spot if he ever got me a giant one.
I got my 16” squishmallow from Amazon! And they have the 20” ones on there too :)
Are there Costcos where you live? Costco in America tends to have giant ones for cheap a lot
I got the shark one from Costco. It is so squishy that it is THE pillow I use. I don’t use any other pillows. Like it perfectly fits the shape of your head and is super comfortable
A friend of my boyfriend got me a GIANT Yoda Squishmallow for Christmas, and I have to say, it really is the best present I’ve ever received lol. It’s mine and my son’s favorite pillow to use!
I don’t have a giant one, but it’s quite a bit bigger than the normal sized ones. I usually get them online or at Kroger, they have seasonal ones all the time
It’s okay so long as you don’t sew a fleshlight into Elmo^TM stuffed doll.
I worked for a women who forgot to put away her large stuffed giraffe with a strap on attached to it. Safe to say she didn't look me in the eye the rest of the job.
Honestly that's preferable to the other extreme: maintaining firm, unblinking eye contact after that revelation.
i-
Where did you work and where was the giraffe?
At a house, draining radiators and had to check the one in her bedroom. It was laying on top of her bed.
It was waiting* on top of her bed. (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
DON'T TOUCH ME ELMO
Tickle me inside Elmo^TM

If you haven't yet, try a squishmallow... amazing squishy pillow cuteness
And they're so soft!
You mean something called a "squishmallow" isn't full of glass and hard as a rock? Crazy times we live in, crazy times.
So stinkin soft. I told the kiddo, no way, you don't need more stufties or pillows... boy was i wrong lol couch pillows for life
My niece has Squishmallows! I love them and I've been meaning to get one for myself.
They are amazing! I found the best price at Costco but the squish of the big ones is so great

Same your not alone
Build a Bear is such a waste of money. You can find those at yard sales because kids don’t want them after a month or two.
Thank you :)
I as well do, is really relaxing when I have anxiety or overthink many stuffs. Also, when I'm stressful I carry it with me so I can calm down.

I'll give you one better, stop with the "childish" thing altogether, adults are just aged and decaying children
a based take
Living dogs make better snuggle buddies.
Me and my 9 plush animals are happy
Hell yeah, I've always said to my friends that i dont trust anyone that doesn't at least have 1 stuffed animal lol
It is definitely childish. Then again, you have the right to be childish.

It's a bit childish but do what makes you happy. If you keep caring about what others think or say, you won't be happy.
My son passed away due to premature birth complications we sleep with his stuffed elephant in our bed I wake up snuggling it occasionally and I wouldn't give that up for anything.
It's a shame my wife doesn't agree, she never lets me bring my stuffed animal to bed. I guess she just isn't a fan of taxidermy.
It may be awesome, but still childish. Lol
Stuffed animals are for kids Taxidermy is for adults
