In the two years I've been here I haven't seen one. I've seen them at porn shops but never in vending machines. Maybe further out in the more perverted countryside they exist.

Has anyone noticed the kid is flashing the "shocker" handsign? One in the pink and one in the stink? A little subliminal message there aye Steve?

it's TWO in the pink, one in the stink. lol

I have seen the lobster machine at an arcade in a small coastal town in Maine.

I know how it went but I have forgotten the details so I will give a rough recount thus: Sometime in the early 90s an "entrepreneur" noticed a market for dirty old business men (who don't get any from their wives) and nerds (who don't get any) so started putting these machines containing supposed used girls panties out around near Tokyo's porn shops, red light areas and nerd areas. When it was discovered the powers that be quickly wanted to put a stop to it, but due to a loophole in an antiques law they were technically legal to sell. It continued for a while in shady places (where foreigners always go and then divulge stories as if all of Japan has/knows of/finds it acceptable) until a law (possibly the law mentioned in this article) was introduced specifically banning it.

Given the general mentality toward alot of "not right, but not right in your face" things in Japan tends to be ignore it and hope it goes away, there might be some around somewhere. If they are, they won't be any normal place.

The Japanese on the machine in the picture in question actually says "Panties everyone wants their girlfriend to wear: Super high-quality sexy panties."

Well, kind of hard to get the original meaning of the Japanese into English, but that's what it says. It does NOT say "used panties". They are just sexy (and if you have seen panties in Japan, they don't sell very many sexy ones) panties that some pervert (e.g. all guys including myself) would like to see their girlfriend wear. That's it... Mystery solved.

Its two FOR the pink, one FOR the stink. Bah

Just as there are people who refuse to believe we really sent men to the moon or that 9/11 wasn't an inside job, there will always be people who insist that used panty vending machines exist in Japan. While I'm sure there's a market for used panties, I'm absolutely, positively, 100% sure you cannot buy them in vending machines. In fact, I went so far as to ask the police in the vice division of Ikebukuro station if they exist and the verdict was NO. En-oh. NO. They had never heard of them. (I happend to be in the police station because I was turning in a chikan I caught red handed.) I even asked a Russian guy who's been working the back streets and alleyways of Kabukicho for the past 18 years if he's ever seen one and he said, "If they ever existed, they were way before my time." For more info, check out the rather long post I wrote on my blog: The FINAL word on used panty vending machines in Japan.

Honest to God, if there's one thing I'd like to accomplish before I die it would be to put this myth to death once and for all.

Ive always wanted to take a trip to japan and it would be very intresting to see one of those "Used panty machines" lol

I heared schoolgirls make a quick buck off off there own panties and in return are offered new ones. They can also make their own panties of more value by dirtying them up more, including going on a cycle.

I personally dont see how they are of any value though. Or honestly why any man in his right mind would be into that sort of thing XD

I went over to Japan rcently to see plus I wanted to go see some friends. I asked them about them and they saidthe do exist just not in great proportion. So about 20 minutes later I am standing in front of a row of vending machines with all sorts of stuff in them. We eventually walk down the alley way were they pan out and there one was staring me in the face a soiled panties vending machine. I didn't get to take a picture because I didn't have my camera and when I went looking for it agaion I couldn't find that street alltogether because japan is a big place. Well anyways the myth is true i'm not sure where the schoolgirls sell them or where they are bought but I know they exist.

Two in the coot, one in the boot. FTW!

uhhhhhhhhhh 2 in the pink one in the stink?

Gentilly if you want to sell something like that make one for women periods get them put in school bathrooms work places they always need them but then there always the down fall that some of them mite be shy infront other women then there the look at it from a different view there always using there best friends ones too good luck

Thats amazing. I dont think i have ever seen vending machines like the ones in Japan. In Colorado all i see now days are Energy Vending Machines.
