The Kush Support: A Between-Breast Pillow That Requires Explaining to Everyone Who Sees It, and the Explanation Makes It Worse
A small cylindrical pillow you place between your breasts while sleeping to prevent chest wrinkles — a product whose explanation is more uncomfortable than the wrinkles
The Kush Support is a small, pink, cylindrical pillow — approximately the size and shape of a travel-sized thermos — that you place between your breasts while sleeping on your side. The purpose: prevent the skin compression that occurs when side-sleeping causes the breasts to press together, which, over years, can create wrinkles on the décolletage.
The product addresses a real cosmetic concern. Dermatologists confirm that side-sleeping creates compression lines on the chest. The concern is real. The solution — a pink cylinder between the breasts — is an experience that requires explaining to every person who encounters it: your partner, your houseguest, your child who wandered into your bedroom, the TSA agent who scanned your bag.
Every encounter follows the same script:
Person: "What is that?" You: "It's a pillow." Person: "For what?" You: "For between my breasts." Person: [silence] You: "To prevent wrinkles." Person: [longer silence] You: "While I sleep." Person: "..." You: "It's a medical thing." Person: "It's not a medical thing."
The explanation does not improve with repetition. Each time you explain the Kush Support, the explanation feels longer. The silence between "for between my breasts" and the listener's response grows. The product that was supposed to prevent wrinkles creates social wrinkles — creases in your relationships that deepen with each explanation.
The Glorious User Experience

“The product addresses a real cosmetic concern”
Click to Tweet"My husband rolled over in the middle of the night and encountered the Kush Support. His hand found a cylindrical object between my breasts that he did not place there. He was CONCERNED. Not 'mildly curious' concerned. 'Wake up and explain what's happening' concerned. I had to explain a breast pillow to a disoriented man at 3 AM. The explanation at 3 AM is worse than the explanation at 3 PM because at 3 AM, nothing sounds reasonable, and 'I put a cylinder between my breasts to prevent wrinkles' sounds actively insane at 3 AM. One star."

"The Kush Support falls out during the night. You go to sleep with it positioned. You wake up with it on the floor, between the sheets, behind the headboard, or — memorably — wedged between the mattress and the wall, which is where my dog found it and carried it to the living room, where my in-laws were having coffee. My father-in-law picked it up. He examined it. He had questions. I had answers that I did not want to give. One star."
Amanda from Denver, CO — ★☆☆☆☆
"The product works as intended — it does separate the breasts during side-sleeping and prevents compression. This is the most frustrating part: it WORKS. It works and it's STILL a bad product because a silk pillowcase achieves similar wrinkle prevention for the entire face and chest without requiring a pink cylinder and a conversation with your father-in-law. One star because it works, and working isn't enough when the product is a social liability."
The Verdict
The Kush Support prevents chest wrinkles and creates conversational wrinkles. It works as a pillow and fails as a product you can own without explaining. A silk pillowcase prevents sleep wrinkles everywhere — face, chest, neck — without a cylinder, without a conversation, and without your father-in-law holding it in the living room. We rate it 1 out of 5 explainable products.
