Snoogle versus regular body pillow...which is better?

I've been having severe pain in my left buttock near the hip. I also have a lower back condition (disc degeneration in lumbar spine) but it has not bothered me yet thanks to exercise.  The butt pain keeps me up at night and I'm constantly moving around trying to get comfortable. I've actually used a small square pillow to help prop myself, but its not working. I haven't had a good night's sleep in three days and have a splitting headache for three days due to this.  I'm ready to buy a body pillow but wonder if the Snoogle is better? Any opinions? Also, does Target have it in the store as I'm seeing it online but would rather buy it in the store.

  • SNOOGLE!...it's so wonderful my husband is trying to steal it from me night after night....

    they don't have it in the store, you have to order online. It only takes a few days though.

     It is well worth the price and the wait

  • Target has the Boppy version which I personally don't like. I also have a long body pillow which I totally prefer, but I left it at my parents house last time I visited. Some people love the Snoogle, I wish I would have bought that, and I know BRU carries them in the store, saw them there Monday.

  • ive never tried a body pillow but i love my snoogle!! Best thing DH ever bought for me, just the other day he tried throwing away the bag its is packaged in (im keeping it to store after preg) and when i told him he couldnt and why, he laughed and told me that he could already tell there was no way i was gonna be able to put it away, even after preg... we'll see who is right
  • I've tried arranging pillows in different positions and it did not help, DH just went to BRU and got me the Snoogle and I love it. I did not think it would make that much of a difference but it really does, I actually wake up w/o being in pain!
  • I just got a regular body pillow -- it's cheaper and after about a week of it, it breaks in to bend however you want it to. Plus, I figure it's a good bumper to keep the baby pinned in to a certain area for floor-play-time when he's older and more mobile!
  • I've tried both and the Snoogle is much better! (when I get it away from my DH, that is!)
  • Snoogle it is then! I'm going to BRU today to get one after work. I just can't take one more night of this and one more day of headache and unproductivity at work.  Thanks ladies!
