25% of men travel with a stuffed animal

Personally, I don't see a problem with this. There are a lot worse things men (or women) can take with them in their luggage. An ABC News report stated that a British hotel chain that has hotels all over the world reunited 75,000 with their owners within the span of a year.

ABC News reports:
"Travelodge surveyed 6,000 Britons and discovered that 35 percent of adults admitted they sleep with their teddy because they found cuddling their bear comforting. Additionally, many said the calming feeling of a bear hug helped them lower their stress level after a hard day.

"...Travelodge said that 25 percent of men reported they take their teddy bear away with them when going away on business. The stuffed animal supposedly reminds them of home and -- some say -- helps fill a cuddle-void left by distant partners."


Stuffed animals make great pillows, especially when most normal pillows are torture on my neck. Three cheers for teddy bear travelers!
