Has anyone tried [this rooting pillow]
(Tools: Rooting Pillow)
I like this style of rooting pillow and was wondering if this kind was any good?

I haven’t used it personally, but it looks pretty good :slight_smile:

I’ve never tried a rooting pillow. I just do it on my lap.

I am using a neck brace from rite aid with a towel over it, it’s strangely fantastic and adjustable for different size dolls, it also fits in a bowl. Strange but true.

I jut put an ordinary pillow on my lap. $39, plus I assume. postage is lot of money for something like that. One of those neck supports you can get for long distance travel would work, or hand towel made into a doughnut.
something like this, just do not stick needle in it.

I have also seen some filled with polystyrene beads - like in bean bags,

I have a rooting pillow that I bought from dolls by Sandie but I find the head slides around on it and makes a mess of the rooting. I have started using a towel in a plastic mixing bowl and that worked quite well. I like the idea of a neck collar in a bowl, I can imagine that works well.

I just made mine out of a long fluffy socks and stuffed all those lonely one socks that lost their mates, who knows where, inside and I tuck the end around the toe. This way I can make it as big or small as I want it.

I roll up a towel or use a neck pillow. I usually squeeze the pillow between my thighs. :joy:

Hum, similar in design to Melissa’s rooting pillow seen here: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/MELISSA-GEORGE-ROOTING-TOOL-PILLOW-NEEDLES-1-2-REBORN-DOLL-KIT-BABY-FX-NEW-/301793915936

When I first started everybody as suggesting to use satin to sit the head on, but that made it slipping all over the place. I bought some little bamboo white wash cloth and put them over whatever else I might be using to sit the head on; they are so soft but not slippery; the head sits nicely. I also use them to sit the parts on when I take them out of oven

I use a boppy pillow wrapped around my waste lol. or you know the door jam things to block out cold air in the winter the work great too or a neck brace. Then I drape a blanket/towel over it. These would work depending on how you root. If you work at a table then yes would work. I sit in a recliner to root

I use a similar one I made myself and I use it all the time.

I use a towel in a bowl also. Works for me!!

Dollar store had neck travel pillows with the smooth stretch fabric and beads for 2$ I think it was. Took that and used a strong clip to close the open end. Voila! Inexpensive rooting pillow that you can stick a needle in. By the way, they are horrible for travel. Not enough support. But great for rooting.
