Underwear Vending Machines Coming to Gyms, Hotels, and Airports Near You

Underwear vending machines: creepy or practical?
Underwear vending machines: creepy or practical?

You may have bought some Doritos, rented RedBox DVDs, or scooped up Sephora makeup from a vending machine, but wouldn't it be convenient to buy other necessities on the go? This seems to be the logic of creative entrepreneurs looking to make their wares more accessible and useful to consumers. Last year we wrote about Rollasole affordable flats popping up in machines at night clubs-we think they're a brilliant idea for ladies who dance up a storm in heels and are forced teeter home barefoot. But we're not sure if we'll be stuffing quarters into a machine for the latest vending treat: underwear.

Me Undies is setting up booths at retail stores, gyms, hotels, airports where you can buy your skivvies of choice. Punch in the number of your desired undergarment and panties, thongs, boxers, or briefs will come out in a CD-like package. The first one is already set up at the Confederacy boutique on Hollywood Boulevard. Clean undies may be really helpful in a pinch, but how often have you ever though, "Gee, I wish I had an extra pair of clean underwear?" Hopefully not too often! But maybe we'd suggest placing these machines in ladies rooms so purchases could be a little more discreet.

Now extra clean socks we can get behind. Whether you sweat them up at the gym or stepped in a puddle, extra socks are always handy. Me Undies will be adding socks as well as t-shirts to their vending machine wares within the next few months. We suppose clean fresh underthings at the press of a button is never a bad thing.

Would you ever buy underwear from a vending machine?
