Please Be Real: Used Panty Vending Machines
Posted by John Brownlee
Pinko commies hate consumerism, but sometimes, while Enron and Haliburton scandals run hauntingly through my mind, I take a deep breath, smell the pheremonal allure of a pair of used panties, freshly purchased from a vending machine, and realize, as my palate thrills, that all is right with the world. Capitalism’s a-okay.
But what if Japan’s fondness for used panty vending machines weren’t real? Would I become a filthy red? I don’t know the answer to that, but the prospect fills me with disquiet, and if this linked article casting grave doubts upon their existence is anything to go by, I may very well need to tattoo a left buttock sickle to mirror my existing right buttock hammer.

I’ve never understood the dirty panty thing. I don’t understand quite a few fetishes.
I guess I’m not a very colourful individual.

What confusion I might’ve had over vending used panties lost out to Mr. Brownlee’s existing tattoo. A tribute to Thor? Are you part of some blacksmithing club, sir? Perhaps it’s simply the mock-up of a hammer resting on the pale anvil of all Ectomo creation.
I’m, uh, going to go get some sleep.

I lived a year in Kyoto and lived very close to a cluster of vending machines that sold alcohol, porn and panties, but there was no claim that they were used.
However I saw a special while I was there about mail-order used pantie sales. In order to be able to legally claim that the panties in question are used, they actually employ a girl whose sole job it is to put on and then immediately remove panties for packaging and shipping. Presumably they’re sprayed with something to give them that special something, but I don’t remember if that was described. I just have this image burned into my brain of a Japanese woman pulling panties on and off as fast as she can.
Note: If you’re ever in Japan, a fun party can be had by simply walking through a city and buying alcohol from every vending machine that offers it.

[...] it had the panty machines. Well, this myth has been circumstantially verified as being true (via ectoplasmosis) – but only because there was a law passed saying they were illegal. Disappointing? Yes. I’d [...]

OK, is it me or do the panties in that picutre look dirty? I assume that is just some picture you found and posted with the ad?
Now, I am in the vending business and will vend anything that makes money. But I don’t think I could ever vend underwear. Yuck.
