A serial knicker thief arrested for allegedly snatching underwear from women has been caught with 600 items of lingerie in his apartment.

Shoya Imada, 25, was detained after being accused of breaking into a women’s flat and dormitory in Japan to squirrel away panties.

During the investigation, he was later accused of assaulting a woman and ripping off her underwear as she walked along the street in Nankoku City.

The unemployed suspect has also been accused of trying to suffocate the woman, aged in her 20s, before fleeing the scene, it was reported by The Tokyo Reporter.

The fetish for women’s underwear is strong in Japan, where there are even vending machines where used knickers can be purchased.

The knickers come wrapped in the image of the Lolita-esque schoolgirl they allegedly came from.

After the success of vending machines, a new product came on the market last year – a perfume that supposedly smells like a boy’s freshly washed bottom.

The scented oil ‘The Smell of a Boy’s Anus’ is on sale in Japan by Japanese adult goods company, Tamatoys, which caused outrage in 2002 with their ‘schoolgirl armpit’ and ‘schoolgirl urine’ scents.

Lingerie is truly a girl’s best friend. And guess what? In this intimate world, there is a fine line between risque and risky, beautiful and ugly.

Inspired by the stories of Disney princesses like Cinderella and Rapunzel, the fairy tale styles are now being given a sexy twist — taking away some of the delicateness of these characters and adding some playfulness. The intricate detailing and use of soft fabrics such as silk, satin and frills have been brought together in a sophisticated piece of lingerie.
