Bathing and fetish cultures are both big in Japan, so why not combine the two?
It's a question that people have no doubt asked at some time, but now some boffin has gone ahead and figured out a way to answer it. Don't believe us? Behold the results.
Available in male and female versions, the Leftover Bathwater Drink is for anyone with a hankering for the used water left behind after a special someone has finished their ablutions.
The Leftover Bathwater Drink comes courtesy of the "brilliant" boffins at cult novelty store Village Vanguard, who also produced the panties eye mask we ...
You remember the Hentai Kamen, the superhero who wears panties over his face?
Now behold the wonder of the Brassiere Eye Mask, which covers your eyes with -- you've guessed it -- a miniature bra.
Produced by novelty store Village Vanguard, the Brassiere Eye Mask is more of a parody item than a genuine fetish toy, but it's still pretty awesome. Any mainstream appropriation of fetish culture is OK by us.
We especially love the way it is marketed with a salaryman-like Japanese man dressed in a suit, whose true desires lie not in spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations, but in ...
The Virgin Killer Sweater, or virgin-killing sweater, lept to viral fame after the busty gravure idol Jun Amaki wore it and shared the stunning results on Instagram. The original item quickly became a sold-out success and plenty of imitators appeared on the markets in Japan and China.
Since then, the excitement of the meme has naturally died down somewhat, notwithstanding the occasional case of the sweater being spotted in public in Tokyo and the inevitable groin-stirring spectacle this causes. (We'd like to see her try wearing that during the morning rush hour!)
So it is with amusement ...
One of Japan's top porn stars today, Mana Sakura, has had her fully naked body recreated as a large figure.
The first in a projected series of figures called Sexy Idol, Mana Sakura has given her approval to the awesome figure, which comes in three sizes (25cm, 30cm, 35cm) costing between ¥200,000 and ¥300,000.
Now how's that for beating your fellow otaku's figure collection?
Sadly, there's no hole included so this can't officially be used as a mini sex doll... but there are surely other ways to enjoy it!
Ordinarily we would immediately point readers in the direction ...
Any self-respecting fan or consumer of Japanese adult video will know how important shame is: shame or insult (ryoujoku, ryojoku) fetish porn is huge. In the pantheon of Japanese porn, women are humiliated in all number of inventive ways, from being made to pee themselves (omorashi) to having their bodies turned into "public toilets" for anyone to use.
A common theme is the use of writing on the naked body, where women are "tagged" with graffiti insulting them or labeling them as sluts.
If this turns you or your partner on, there are ways to recreate the experience, such as the "shame ...
No one needs any convincing that Japanese schoolgirls are awesome, especially their uniforms. That's why there is such a mountain of toys, dolls, and costumes out there.
But what about schoolboys? No, we don't mean like that -- though there are some toys in that direction, such as the provocative Boy's Penis Smell Bottle. We'll leave the world of shotacon for another day.
The Gakuran Swimsuit Japanese Schoolboy Coat Design is a item of female swimwear brilliantly inspired by a classic part of the Japanese male school uniform.
The gakuran is a Prussian-style coat worn by many young ...
It's not often that we get excited about a Japanese-made vibrator.
Sure, it goes without saying that Japan produces some of the best luxury sex dolls, blow-up dolls, sex machines and masturbator toys the world has to offer.
But it's not famous for its vibrators and much of what is on the market is relatively familiar to anyone who has perused an adult shop overseas.
Tenga has been on something of a mission to change that in recent times, creating an impressive line of Iroha female and Vi-Bo couple-play vibrators.
One of the things Japanese adult toys do best, though, is parody: ...
If the long-running and immensely popular Bandai and Peach John Sailor Moon lingerie was not sexy enough for you, take a gander at these new Street Fighter cosplay underwear costumes!
The limited-edition underwear is on sale from the online retailer SuperGroupies, which specializes in apparel with a gaming and anime theme, from August 28th. Don't get too excited just yet, though. It's reservations only for now: the lingerie isn't actually available until January next year! Reservations are taken up till September 18th and we predict this will immediately sell ...
Japan, the land that prizes the wonders of soine -- or snuggling up. So much so, in fact, that they had "cuddle cafes" in Akihabara and there are, somewhat inevitably, pillows and cushions made in the shape of girl's laps. (If this sounds sexist, keep in mind there are cuddle services for women, too.)
There has been a crackdown on cuddle and snuggle joints of late, it seems, since they were seen as fronts for so-called JK businesses and JK reflexology places. In other words, they were employing underaged girls and possibly offering more than just snuggles.
But don't worry: now you can ...
Well, here is an new addition to our mental list of crazy yet amazing Japanese sex toys. After all, how can you say no to a sweet corn cob dildo?!
Yes, the Sweet Corn Cock Dildo is as awesome as it name makes it sound.
Japanese dildos certainly come in all shapes and sizes, and there are plenty of arguably pointless gimmicks out there (a kendama dildo, anyone?). From uncircumcised phimosis dildos to ones with cute character faces on them, there really is something for everyone, if you care to look hard enough.
But rarely does visual flair combine with functionality quite so brilliantly as ...
