			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Japanese have vending machines for everything. Even the used panties of schoolgirls. Often said to be a rumor, it <a href="http://www.snopes.com/risque/kinky/panties.asp">seems to be the truth</a>.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t seen them personally, but there are some documented cases I found on the Net: A vending machine that promises the chance to win a PSP, but <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2005/10/03/japanese-tourist-trap-machine-dispenses-panties-not-psps/">dispenses mostly underpants</a> (presumably in mint condition).</p>
<p>But more to the point there is this case where someone actually made a second-hand report of a <a href="http://photomann.com/japan/machines/">panty vending machine in 2002</a>. Complete with a photo, but of course it is possible to doctor it:</p>
<p><a href='http://wackyjapanese.pandemonium.de/2007/08/18/underpanty-vending-machines/panty-vending-machine/' rel='attachment wp-att-81' title='Panty Vending Machine'><img src='http://wackyjapanese.pandemonium.de/files/2007/08/panty_vending_machine.jpg' alt='Panty Vending Machine' /></a></p>
<p>According to the PhotoMann article, a used underpants costs 1000 &#8211; 3000 Yen if bought from this machine (6.10 &#8211; 18.30 Euro).</p>
<p>InventorSpot has <a href="http://inventorspot.com/articles/japan_used_panty_vending_machines_5650">some additional photos</a> and points out that a vending machine that sells panties doesn&#8217;t mean that the panties are <strong>used</strong>.</p>
<p>However, my sources in Japan say that these vending machines really exist.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I tried to show you the Japanese obsession with Hello Kitty. Today&#8217;s wacky Japanese item is one that I feel will prove my point: I am talking, of course, about the infamous Hello Kitty Vibrator.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, I tried to show you the <a href="/2007/08/06/hello-kitty-scale/">Japanese obsession with Hello Kitty</a>. Today&#8217;s wacky Japanese item is one that I feel will prove my point: I am talking, of course, about the infamous <a href="http://www.jmate.com/features/article_3.html">Hello Kitty Vibrator</a>.</p>
<p><a href='http://wackyjapanese.pandemonium.de/2007/08/07/hello-kitty-vibrator/hello-kitty-vibrator/' rel='attachment wp-att-25' title='Hello Kitty Vibrator'><img src='http://wackyjapanese.pandemonium.de/files/2007/08/hello_kitty_vibrator.jpg' alt='Hello Kitty Vibrator' /></a></p>
<p>According to the <a href="http://www.jmate.com/features/article_3.html">JMate article</a>, a company called Genyo produced this as a &#8220;shoulder massager&#8221; in 1997. The design was approved by Sanrio, the owner of Hello Kitty. The item was not officially intended for any &#8220;adult&#8221; purposes, but of course people quickly put the vibrating thing to other uses. By 1999 it had become a cult item in Japanese porn movies. Sanrio was less than happy, and eventually found an excuse to seize and destroy the molds.</p>
<p>This means that you&#8217;re probably out of luck if you want one of these, but it seems they are sometimes <a href="http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~tenchi/japan/helvib.html">auctioned on eBay</a>.</p>
