I come seeking your knowledge - is there a best body pillow?

BostonGayGal · July 2011

or are they all the same? I had hoped to be my cheap-azz self but I think I may cave.

Thanks.

I really like the snoogle because it curves in all the right spots.

However, where I am in pg now, I get stuck in it when I have to get up to pee, and that is happening about every 1-2 hours, so I have given up using it. But it was great during late first and throughout 2nd tri.

I'm a Snoogle whore. Pricy, but my mom bought mine for my b-day when I was pg with K. I tried sleeping without it this time because it's kind of big, but couldn't.

Very true. I'm glad no one can see/hear me try to hurl my giant self over it 4- 5 times a night.

Thank you!!!!

I will use Google, but where do I buy this monstrosity most inexpensively?

I have cheap Walmart ones since I use the on both sides so that I don't have to adjust when I roll over and so when I flop on my back I am tilted to the side. They work fine but I am avoiding getting them out as long as possible since they make me so hot and I don't need anything else doing that for me.

I never actually bought one and I'm glad now because I would be way to hot to use it.

I really liked the Boppy Cuddle pillow. I had a Snoogle with DD and didn't like it much, but the Cuddle was really comfy.

OMG so true... I fling the end down by my feet across the bed when I have to get up so it's not in my way. I've hit DH with it several times. LOL.

DON'T BUY ONE! Take mine. Seriously. Take it.

I just used a regular old generic body pillow that I borrowed from a friend. I had to use an extra pillow under my head too, b/c I was congested all of the time. Honestly though, once I got really big, I was really only comfortable when I was in bed alone.

I don't know if there is a best, because I was too cheap to get one and I regret it EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.

I always just used an extra king sized pillow. Oh gosh it sucks so much sleeping at 35+ weeks. I had that blocked out of my mind until just now.

I have two of teh cheap ones from Walmart. I think they were like $7 bucks a pop and i love them. I move around so much in the night that being able to move them around to how I want them is great.

I feel like a turtle stuck on her back. I just flail about helplessly until I roll close enough to the edge to nearly fall. It was easier to do without the snoogle so I put it away, but it is mighty comfy.

I have to Boppy snoogle knock off. It's a little cheaper than the Snoogle. It does the job, but I'm not in love with it.

Oh, GC, you are very kind. Thank you for the offer. I, being cheap, will happily borrow yours until you need it again. However, since I know you will be needing it again, no worries if it makes more sense to you to hold on to it.

This in the past tense.
