At Sunshine Laundromat and Pinball in Brooklyn, New York, you can wash your sweaters, dry your socks and take a pregnancy test, purchased straight from the venue's vending machine.

Via DNA Info, the trendy laundromat -- which doubles as a bar and arcade -- sells pregnancy tests, personal lubricant and Plan B pills in its machines alongside more traditional vending machine fare. 

Owner Pete Rose says it all began with pregnancy tests. He recently added the Plan B pill after perusing his local CVS, though he says he has no plans to restock it after it's sold out.

"It's not to make a political statement," Rose told DNA Info. "It's just random items for fun."

Tests and lube will run laundromat patrons $10 each, while Plan B will cost you $35. Consider it a one-stop shop for all your personal needs.
