A municipal assembly member representing Tokyo’s Bunkyo Ward has revealed a rather preposterous rule written in the handbooks of one particular Tokyo middle school stating that students should wear white undergarments, instilling bewilderment not just for its existence but also as to just how such a rule was being enforced…
While dress codes and uniforms are a typical staple amongst Japanese schools, the specific requirement of white underwear has been considered to be “too much” by various online critics, with some naturally speculating that the rule’s creators may have some kind of vested interest in its enforcement.
The rule’s exact wording:
“Being mindful of hygiene, always wear (white) underwear. Do not wear underwear with colors or prints.”
Though hygiene is cited as the rule’s purpose, cleanliness and underwear color would appear to be entirely unrelated, making the rule quite suspect.
Stranger still, further research by the aforementioned assembly member (itself a slightly odd thing to be preoccupied with) has revealed that 6 of 10 ward-administrated junior high schools in Bunkyo possess a similar rule (which also does not clarify a specific gender, meaning the rule might apply to both males and females), certainly causing many to wonder what the benefit of such enforcement could possibly be…
All this talk about stains being visible on white. If your undies EVER had brown or yellow stains on them… I pity the fool who told you about it. How the hell did they even know??
I mean sure, girls may change in front of other girls without hesitation, but still. Don’t you LOOK at what you’re about to put on?
“Welp, too many visible sweat stains on my underwear. Hope the inspector doesn’t see me.” Wtf. Why are they visibly stained in the first place?
White pantsu = pure *fap fap fap*
Guess it was a generation of pant shitters ^^
Japanese lawmaker have a fetish for middle school girl white pantsu
This whole comment section and author are fixated on panties. This rule exists because of colored bras. You can clearly see non-white bras through shirts and is why the rule exists. I understand you are males but try to give some actual thought!
Would still have nothing to do with hygiene even if that were the case. also, you can clearly see white bras through shirts as well, it’s like like a shirt that’s that thin will hide it.
