I gave in and decided that I'm REALLY tempted to get my first Liberator shape early in fall semester. I'll need to wait to get to the dorm and make sure I have space for certain shapes, and I'll get fewer questions from my parents if it appears after I move to the dorms as opposed to during the moving. I am looking for a couple of different features/characteristi cs:
-super discreet shape (something like the Pulse might be a little hard to explain off as a pillow)
-relatively compact, hopefully so I could easily stow it on my bed with my pillows and still fit on the bed
-suitably shaped for at least reclining against, bonus points if it could be a nap-time pillow or sleeping pillow
-shaped well to support doggy style
I would prefer to order a shape from Eden, but I am open to ordering from the Liberator site if there's a shape that Eden doesn't have (Jaz Motion is the only non-Eden shape that really intrigued me). The Flip Ramp is still in the running, but I think I'd rather save that shape for an apartment where I have room for a chair-and-ottoman combination. The Wing looks nice because of the toy mounts, but I don't think I'd be using those enough to make them a deciding factor. And I'm at a loss to see the big difference between things like the Jaz and the Wedge...
Which Liberator shape for dorm storage?

So which shape based on the features listed in the introduction?

The heart, jaz or wedge would be best. All three can easily be disguised as some sort of pillow for your neck/back/etc. They blend in on any bed with a pillow case, and are small enough to keep in a closet.

Going by the product pages the regular Whirl is bigger:

Whirl XT 9" x 24"
Whirl 10" x 36"

Ok, now I have to ask. The Whirl is winning for some good reasons, but no one has recommended the Wing? The Wing is a little wider, so is it less body-pillow-shaped? Are the holes very obvious? Is it much less comfortable? Is it poorly shaped for doggy? Why do such similar-looking pieces get such different votes?

The Wing is more oval shaped and so much wider than the Whirl. It will be less discreet in my opinion. The holes for toy insertion aren't super obvious, but they will draw some attention unless you cover it up with a case of some sort. Personally, I find many of the Liberator pieces can be used similarly, just not as effectively. So I would say how you primarily plan to use the pillow should be how you decide on which shape to get taking into consideration you and your partners body sizes. Not every pillow works for every body size.

The Wing works well for doggie if that is your primary use. For us, it does not work well for lower back support (as with Missionary) since it is too high and the foam is firm. It's also a pretty large size and not compact at all.
I think the Whirl could be used for Doggie, I just think that the Wing would probably work better given its size and shape. I think the Whirl would work better in other positions.
The Wedge (I own), Heart, and Jaz all seem fairly similar, so if you chose one of those, it would probably be based on your body size and which works best for you. I'm not sure I would use any of them for Doggie unless you mean to be standing and leaning on it on the edge of the bed. They just seem a little low for that purpose.

I honestly never thought about covering a shape with a pillow case before I'm going to have to try that when I eventually get a wing. Thnaks foe the idea.

I mainly like the idea of support for doggy, so far I'm good for missionary. So that's where I might lean more towards the Wing based on your information. It's just rather disconcerting that no one's really voting in favor of the Wing.

Personally, I'd go for the heart wedge as it could be just another pillow in a dorm room...course the ramp or wedge could be great for studying in bed.

I keep my Wing on my bed in a pillowcase, but you might need an extra large one because you want to make sure that none of the holes for toys peek out and give you away. The Wing wouldn't make a great pillow on its own, but it's great for propping yourself up in bed if you put a cushier pillow on top of it. But if you need to share a twin XL bed with the Wing every night, it will probably be too big for your needs unless you like to sleep propped up. Twin XL beds don't have a lot of space for extra pillows. I love my Wing, but it's too big if you need to keep it on your bed all the time, unless you have an unusually large dorm bed.
Make sure you have a seam ripper handy for removing the "Liberator" tag that comes sewn on to all of them if you're not going to cover it with your own pillowcase. Otherwise, a curious roommate googling "Liberator" is going to bust you almost immediately.

I think the whirl or heart wedge are the most discreet. I had a body pillow in college, and I think that that's what most people would assume what the whirl would be. It's easy enough to just push to the bottom of the bed when not in use, or you could curl up around it when sleeping. I think that's probably the best option. The heart would be discreet as well, but I don't think it would be as useful. The wing could probably be discreet too, if you add a pillowcase over top to hide the holes. It's also much more expensive. If you don't plan on using it with toys often, it might be more worthwhile to get the whirl for now and upgrade later.

The flip ramp is going to meet your need for a doggy style pillow however have fun hiding that in a dorm room. The easier to hide in plain sight is going to be the heart, you can but it front and center on your bed and no one will be the wiser.
