What is not immediately recognizable from the above report is that a significant portion of Japanese women under the 30 have a habit of wearing pantie liners everyday so they don’t necessarily have to change their underwear everyday, eww.

   Explanation:
   Chinese exports a lot of frozen gyoza dumplings to Japan, but back in 2008 there was a rash of shipments of pork dumplings filled with 80 percent caustic soda-soaked cardboard and 20 percent pork fat.

   Ultimate Slobs? Japanese Women Wear Diapers to Avoid Going to the Toilet
   Oddity Central | October 5th, 2012
   Weird as it may seem, there are people out there who would rather wear an uncomfortable diaper all day long than go to the bathroom. Japanese media reports adult diapers are increasingly popular among Japanese women who say wearing them saves them a lot of time.
