Because your bottle needs to hide its shame.



Those amusing little underpants designed for drink bottles that made headlines on many English language news sites when they were first released a couple of years ago are back.

Advertised as a way to catch the moisture that drips off of a cold drink bottle on a hot day and “guard” the “butt” of your bottle on a cold day (not sure what that even means), “Bottle Underpants” (ボトルのおぱんつ, botoru no opantsu) started being sold via capsule toy vending machines (gacha gacha) at Japanese arcades and toy stores in 2015 and apparently they’ve developed enough of a following to warrant not one, but two new series of these novelty bottle butt covers.

The third and latest set of Bottle Underpants was released in January of this year and consists of seven original designs, pictured below.

The seven new pairs of underwear that make up this latest set includes a “fluffy” pair of women’s panties, a pair of light blue panties, a pair of “cherry” panties, a pair of “pumpkin” panties, a pair of “demon” underpants with a lightning bolt inspired pattern, a pair of sexy “adult” panties and a “secret” pair of underpants, which is not listed on the paper that comes inside every Bottle Underpants capsule but more on those “secret” underpants later.

If you’d like to see how exactly one of these pair of underpants looks on a bottle, check out the video below, which was uploaded to YouTube last month by a Japanese YouTuber who goes by the name of Potato Cider. In the video, he goes through the process of buying one of these from a capsule vending machine, opening the capsule and of course, seeing how the pair of cherry panties he got actually looks on a bottle.

As for the “secret” pair of underpants mentioned above, a reporter for the Japanese news site Otakuma wrote an article this month (May 13), in which he spills the beans on these mysterious underpants. So what are they? They’re a pair of male briefs, complete with a little fly. To see some amusing pictures of these tiny briefs, check out the article here.

If you’d like your own pair of Bottle Underpants you’ll have to go looking around Japanese arcades and wherever else has capsule toy vending machines. Each pair will cost you 200 JPY.
