Japan gets away with urban myths? Maybe don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

It also doesn't seem to mention vending machines, but specialized shops or online selling. It's still gross, but it's also not unthinkable that this could happen in western countries. There was for instance an English internet personality who sold her used bath water a few years ago.

There is absolutely a network that sells all sorts of used underwear, condoms, you name it, in ‘the west’

no doubt, but that was one person, not a pattern of behaviour by the masses

True. But that picture is like those AI videos on youtube today where the thumbnail doesn't show up in the video. According to this article, those vending machines were banned in 2004 and the trade in used panties was driven to specialized shops.
