A nice change from the usual absurdities from Japanese bra makers.

That looks lot more comfortable than thong underwear with built in wedgies.

No wire, eh? Obviously built for the no-boobs talent crowd.

If they can wear them in the matsuri, I am all for it. Unfortunately it is the J men who want to display their butts.

The loin cloth would be handy if us guys had the flu.

I don't like it at all. Fundoshi is for men only and bra is for women only. That's the way we are.

A change has been needed over so many years. I hope he women take to it.

A new kind of underwear for perverted salarymen to attempt to purchase from unsupervised, rudderless teens, hopefully leading to the salarymen's arrest.

@@@ that's cause they need a woman with curves to model it, otherwise it looks like crap

Looks more like a swim suit to me. But what do I know?

I am shocked how obnoxiously generalized and stereotypical a lot of these comments are..

Japanese women do have curves.. if there is a difference in hip to waist ratio, there are curves.. fat women in denial do not have curves, they have rolls.. Japanese women do not fit this Western word "curves" as we are not fat women in denial.. :p

Not all of us have small chests, we come in various sizes just like any other women, what you see in the media is what is considered to be socially attractive.. women in Japan often pad out their curves and bound their breasts to wear kimono or yukata, because the conical shape is attractive in our culture.. it does not mean we don't have any body shape.. =__= But in street clothing we look like any other woman, we have hips and boobs too. :p

Japanese underwear commercials do not always feature Western women, you obviously do not live in Japan, get off of Youtube, ok. =__= Wacoal has always used Japanese women and men for their commercials and advertisements. The ones that use Western women are to appeal to Westerners living in Japan, we don't forget that we're the only group of people living there, ok.

All these stereotypes being shown here just show one thing.. massive amounts of poor education and stupidity. shakes head =__=
