Lingerie fetish
Lingerie fetish is an attraction to underwear and the person wearing it. Bras, panties, stockings, suspenders, bodysuits and corsets can all be part of it. For someone with this fetish, the clothing is part of the appeal, not just something in the way.

What's the Attraction?
Some people love the whole outfit. Others are particular about black lace, satin, sheer fabric or stockings with suspenders. Expensive designer lingerie is not necessarily the point. A familiar garment can have a stronger personal association than a brand-new matching set.
The interest can involve looking, touching the fabric, wearing it or having a consenting partner keep it on during intimacy. It can overlap with stocking, latex and leather interests.
Used Underwear and Scent
For some, freshly washed lingerie misses the point. A used-underwear fetish centres on clothing worn by another consenting adult, with scent and the connection to that person forming part of the attraction.
Some people smell or hold the garments during masturbation. Others enjoy the clothing without any interest in scent. These preferences overlap, but they are not the same thing.
Taking someone's underwear without permission is not part of an agreed fetish.
Japan's Underwear Vending Machines
The stories about used-underwear vending machines in Japan have been repeated for decades. Machines selling underwear have been photographed, but that does not establish whether the contents were actually worn.
Some products use “used” themes or presentation as a novelty. The familiar story that these machines are everywhere in Japan goes well beyond the evidence.
