Doll Friend

In previous Candy Girl posts, many of you who want one raised two problems - cant afford the 620,000 yen and don't have anywhere to hide her even if you got one.
Today we look at the solutions to these problems.

First off is the price tag problem which is easily solved. Doll Mate (NSFW) is an online dealer that specializes in selling second hand dolls - you can pick up a Candy Girl like the one shown above for a laughable 200,000 yen. If you can forgive her for being with another man then this solution should work well for you.

The other problem of a hiding place for your Candy Girl is simple and puzzles me as to why nobody thought of it in the first place. All you do is sit her at your desk like the picture below and pretend its a friend who has come over to help with your homework.
Photos from Tabo-san.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    If you're unsure about being able to hide your doll properly, I think you shouldn't buy it at all.

    If you are sure of yourself and that the ones close to you don't despise or fear you as soon as you reveal your fetish, it will be all right.

    The point is that if you are able to keep that secret for years, you're a good ninja candidate.

    Danny, the thing is that if you put her in front of a desk, it is fine at first, but she doesn't move. So it's easy to see she's not a living creature... And this surely doesn't save one from being knocked out silly by his significant other (if there is one, of course). I don't believe the "personal secretary" excuse works either. So...

    ...Better be well-prepared mentally and plan every detail before investing in a Candygirl (and any other doll and things like eroge too)

    Can't wait to get my own! :D
    But they have to get better first. A real girl would be fine too, but in the long run probably more expensive. And besides that, they bitch all the time and don't look as cute ;)

    Keatz, LOL! True.. soooo true. Except for the cute part.. see, I just cant get over that vacant look in the dolls eyes (not that women dont get that look too sometimes... but if it happens during intercourse... not good). Why dont people just leave them curled up in bed and say that your new girl is sleeping in and they have to be quiet. Just change the hair color and you should be able to get away with it for a while, plus making a good reputation for yourself. Riiiiiiiight.

    Sounds worse than buying a second hand bukkake figure ^^; Not sure how much they sterilize it after receiving it from the previous owner, but I still wouldn't fork the cash.

"Man...I've never seen a woman who can hold her breath so long!" LOL, do I need to make up more stupid reasons as to why putting her behind the computer won't work? XD

    i'd rather buy a first-hand Candy Doll instead of buying a 2nd-hand one. you will never know where that doll has been XDDD

    as for where to keep it...telling people that she's your friend is a great idea! XDDD

    If it wasn't for the prohibitive price tag, these dolls would be brilliant for playing practical jokes!! We used to have fun in uni by putting a blow up doll in a guys bed to make it look like someone was sleeping in it. It would work so much better with one of those... photos of an embarrassed mate would be a bonus!

    firstly, i'm sorry but i cannot forgive my doll who have being with another man. i only accept a virgin. :3

    secondly, having her sitting at the computer pretending to be a friend who came over for homework is genius! ^^

    When I first saw these Candy-girl doll, I found them extremely cute, but somehow that was mixed with some feelings of guilt.

    If you're looking for a place to hide your doll, you can just hide it in plain sight. Dress her up and put her in a corner or pose her in a decent way and just say she was a gift from "The guys at work" or was a practical joke. At least then it wasn't your fault.
    I also don't think most people will find anything offensive about it if they don't know what the dolls are really for...

    With the level of involvement I see some guy having, how can they sell their Candy Girl.

    Not sure I would want her at my Mac all day. She might find someone else and leave me. ^_-

    I'm kinda scared and surprized by the amount of people who didn't take the hide thing as a joke.

    Also, second hand sex toy? OMG, no freaking way!

    I'd like that as much as I'd like a second hand tooth brush or something.

    The idea of second-hand girl feels kinda dirty. There should be enough of "one and only" CandyGirls to go around.
    Of course, who's gonna take care of dumpped girls!? :)
    It's just... how would you feel about letting somebody else driving your beloved car? When you got it back it even smells differently. Same thing when you got the girl who somebody else 'used' in a preverted way...
