Can you still buy used panties in vending machines as a souvenir from Japan?
In 1999 I came across a vending machine of used panties while hiking through Japan. Apparently it was made illegal in 1993, but still in 1999 they seem to be wide spread. Is this still the case, or are these vending machines no longer part of Japanese civilization.
Seems like an ultimate photo souvenir and I still regret not making a picture as proof for my strange experiences in Japan. People just don't believe this story.

I am not sure if the machines still exist. But I have seen those being offered in Japanese Sex shops, for example in the Akihabara District in Tokyo. However, there is of course no telling if they are real. I can very well imagine that these are just normal panties, claimed to be used.
For the vending machine itself, there are two things involved here: A vending machine (?????) and a vendor of used girls clothing. Those include by the way also school uniforms etc (????). Or simply "pants selling vending machine" (?????????or???????) If you want to scour google search while using translate, you might find something. I went through a couple of search results and could not identify any clear hint of this still existing.
