Pokémon is one of those brands that is so insanely successful that it finds its way onto pretty much any product, and in Japan, that includes lingerie and nightwear.
Underwear maker Peach John – which also has One Piece trollies in its catalogue – is launching a new range of Pokémon-themed undergarments next month under a new "Pokémon Girls" line.
As you can see from the examples below, these items all feature famous Pokémon – and they're pretty tasteful, so you can pull your mind out of the gutter right now, thank you very much.
The range will be available from May 7th in Japan.

Wow....Only in Japan LOL!
Cute but you would need to kill me to make me wear that (yes I am a female)
Pokémon shirts on the other hand are cool.
Uuuu... I know what any man is thinking, I know what I am thinking at least.... ; )
Yeah same.. ..does the jigglypuff pjs come in mens sizes
Not interested in lingerie but the prints are really cute!
Never really understood the idea here. Unless you're dating someone and want to give them some extra service? But this is nothing new. I've seen official and unofficial stuff like this for all sorts of IP for years and years. For women and men. There was a shop in the mall near where I grew up that had a whole section devoted to this kind of stuff. And the men's and women's sections were right next to each other.
@Zeldafan79 Yeah, no. I've seen anime and pop culture themed under garments in the US too.
I know I'm not the target audience (well, not traditionally 😄). But these are kind of bland looking. I know you don't want something ultra tacky looking or garish. But can we get a bit more color in these?
I like the eevee set. Too bad china ruined the shipping lanes so I can't import.
They’re rather frilly aren’t they? It’s a strange strange world.
Finally, some Pokémon panties. They were listening to the fan demands.
Pokémon + lingerie = Pedobear is a Pokémon confirmed.
What about some undies for guys
@Rekiotsu Stop being so hetero/allonormative!
I spy a Pantie Party collab! lol
I feel dirty after looking at this
'Cause nothing drives guys wild like knickers embroidered with electric rats.
How can lingerie be called tasteful without thinking of the gutter. Look at your pictures. Thankfully they aren’t being modelled. Leave that to the Sun
Knowing Japan, these will sell best soiled, wadded up and placed in row labeled B7
Just imagine your woman/girlfriend walking in, dressed in these, looking at your bewildered face: "But... but I thought, because you are a gamer, that you might like these better than normal lingerie... "
(man cracks whip to send woman back to bedroom dresser)
@Heavyarms55 Never understood what idea? Of game-related underwear, or of lingerie in general? I seriously do hope it's the former, because neither do I...
Pokeballs design... Who had that idea?!?
Uhm. Plenty to gawk at for all the "pocket monsters" out there...
@SouthtownZ LOL
I was wondering, do we all have too dirty minds? Maybe some tweens just enjoy pokemon and want that stuff on their panties for themselves? Kinda like you want that Nike swoosh on your boxers? Hmm...
I actually think these are pretty cute, especially the Jigglypuff pjs. If these were sold in the US I’d consider picking some up.
A lot of people asking in the comments why someone would wear these... it’s just cute underwear to make the wearer feel cute. It doesn’t have to be for anyone other than yourself.
@Rekiotsu these type of comments make me cringe so much lol, please get a hold of yourself man
In 2020 boys wear lingerie too, so the branding seems a bit sexist 😜
confusion noises
@ThanosReXXX Having fictional characters on undergarments. Do people find that sexy? Do people find the idea of having your favorite fictional character on your genitals somehow comforting? I don't get it.
Like, I understand sexy lingerie, or comfortable underwear, but this kind of thing doesn't seem to be either. I guess they could be comfortable but the extra cost of the licensing doesn't seem worth it.
@Heavyarms55 Ah, good to have that cleared up. I'm of the same mind (hence my own comment #21), but even though I already figured your answer would be something like that, I still wondered just the same, hence the question.
Then again: there's also Hello Kitty underwear, so what do I know?
They also have Kirby clothes, and the girl wearing them looks kinda creepy. https://grapee.jp/en/81901
@ThanosReXXX I've seen all kinds. This isn't unusual at all. You can safely assume almost any decently sized IP has stuff like this.
Wake me when they start making Bronzong breastplates...
@Heavyarms55 I think it's the two things. But not necessarily those things crossing one another's lanes. Just kind of coexisting. Maybe some wear them for comfort (hopefully they're comfortable to wear) and to feel sexy for themselves and/or their partner in terms of the design itself (not necessarily the print on the design) and at the same time, find some pleasure in another outlet to show their fandom. Hopefully, that made some kind of sense.
The PJs are cute.
@Heavyarms55 Oh, don't get me wrong: I never for one moment doubted that this is actually a thing, and with MANY IPs, I just agree with you on the why of it...
I'd rather buy good Pokémon games instead, thanks
Confirmed, women love a slow poke.
So what I'm getting out of the picture is that my Onix's Harden can be super effective against any Cloyster, as long as the latter uses Water Spurt. I hope the opponent's Pokémon don't faint on me, though, or I'll end up as soft as a Bellsprout. Which, in my team, is my other Pokémon.
My party (on my belt, because you know there's a party in my pants) also has a Mega Blastoise in it, in case you're wondering. I hope my comment doesn't get deleted, so don't Jynx it!
Man this article is too much, the puns and innuendos I can cram in are staggering. Oh wait, I said "cram in". Whatever.
Never thought I’d see the words Pokemon and lingerie in the same sentence together! lol
So, I wanted to do some "research" on this, but realized that PHub was a better use of my time 😂
a bit bland...def needs more color. the jiggly puff ones are descent but again to subtle to really even seen the puffs on the pjs..
all in all i could see my grandma wearing these. thats not a great picture lol.
Ladies. You don't need lingerie to make your man or woman happy! Believe me, my other half looks incredible in their regular underwear and I'm sure you do too.
Ironically, when she's walking around in it, I want to get them off her. But when she leaves a pair lying around, I want her to put them away! #relationships
And now the internet finally has the answer to the age old question of what's under Gardevoir's dress.....
Well my non-gamer wife likes them. Now wondering whether they will allow exports...
And yes, women like to wear cute undergarments and be the only ones to see them.
Pokemon granny panties. Lmao
@graysoncharles Surprisingly ignornant of you to just assume my opinion is limited to women. I don't understand the idea for men either, and there is anime and pop culture themed undergarments for men too.
@Trajan I might actually buy those. Granny panties for the win. (These are not granny panties, fyi... they're more of a bikini cut.)
Omg they're all so cute! I want the eevee and sylveon ones!
I straight up cancelled sex this one time a pokemon tattoo revealed itself via the disrobement of a grown adult woman’s foot.
Can't wait to rip these off my gf with my teeth
Where the snorlax jammies and poke ball pasties?
Hmm I would have bought out the store for some of these when I was 12. I’m upset eevee is in pink though.
@Conductor It brings to mind a "Calvin and Hobbes" strip where Calvin complains that it takes all the fun out of wearing his lucky rocket ship underpants if nobody is going to see them.
<Girlfriend/Fianceé/Wife walks in wearing Pikachu lingerie>
Is that a monster in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
This is just regular underwear not lingerie, isnt it? Or does my vocabulary need an update?
Fapfap, I choose you!
I don't think it makes much sense advertising lingerie and then not showing pictures of what it looks like being worn.
I got two pairs of excellent Pokémon boxers in Japan from Don Quixote. My girlfriend got some Pikachu pyjama shorts too so there’s already some of this stuff out there.
Well, I've always said Pokémon and foreplay go together like peanut butter and jelly... Deliver on tasteful Cubone panties, and you just might have yourself a sale!
