Japanese women wearing panties on heads as fashion accessories

We all know about Japan’s penchant for used panties. They’re not just an urban legend. They’re real and for sale.

But what about used panties as a fashion accessory?

Well, Shibuya-based JennyFax essentially offers this. Not exactly used panties, but it does treat underwear as something that’s not at all “under.” It’s very much “over.”

Over the head, that is.

JennyFax’s “panties” are designed to be worn like a hair accessory. Yes, as first reported on Oddity Central, you wear these panties on your head.

We haven’t seen these “panty ribbon bow” items in the wild, but there must be some out there because they are sold out on the JennyFax website. Someone somewhere is wearing women’s panties on their head and wandering the streets of Japan!

The Panty Ribbon Bow is available in pink, blue, and black. It was intended as a limited item, though, so we’re not sure when it will be back in stock — if ever. Possibly, JennyFax just made a small number as a kind of marketing gimmick to bring the brand attention, which certainly worked.

Personally, we prefer the Hokusai tentacle sex sneakers and Weekly Playboy gravure idol T-shirts.
