I don’t know about your student loan bills, but mine are out of control. In my ongoing search for get-rich-quick schemes, I stumbled into the weird and wonderful world of online garment selling.
There are lots of dudes out there that like to buy stinky socks and undies off of chicks for their masturbatory needs. Some guys really get off on the smell of sweaty snatches and feet, while others like the feeling of intimacy they get from worn clothing. There’s a much more human element to smelling another person’s musk, as opposed to just fantasizing or watching porn. This intimacy has blossomed into its own cottage industry of sex work.
As far as my Google-research has shown, selling your dirty panties on the internet is sort of a legal grey area. I found one report of a woman being arrested for mailing indecent and filthy substances, but that was in Nowheresville, South Carolina. What I’m getting at is do it at your own risk, because I’m not in law school.
I spoke to some panty sellers, and they gave me the scoop on getting into the garment selling game. All of the girls emphasized safety. You’re going to want to get an anonymous email handle, not hereismywholename@smallhometown.net. Some girls get post office boxes, while others use a friend’s address for their return label. Make sure your friend knows they might get a returned package they may not want to open – otherwise, it’s just rude.
Remember, you’re talking to strangers on the internet. Think of all the internet safety after school specials and remember not to be an idiot. Furthermore, meeting people in person is not recommended. One of my correspondents says if you have to meet, always do so in a well-lit, public place and wrap up their package like a present, so it’s not suspicious. She says they bail a lot, though, so it’s very rarely worth it to try to save on postage.
Receiving payment can be tricky. Paypal is not cool with sex work of any kind and will ban users for life if they catch wind of your doings. Some girls prefer to use Amazon or eBay giftcards or wishlists, while other people use sites like giftrocket.com or even Square. One correspondent advises that if a potential client doesn’t pay in the first five messages, drop them. “They don’t want to buy,” she says, “they just want to fap to your messages.” She also advised to pull money out of those apps and put it into your account immediately. If you wait around, they may cancel the payment and you’ll be stuck with nothing.
There will be a lot of time-waster messages. Guys will line up a sale, agree upon a price, and then ghost when it’s time for them to actually make the payment. Do not to quit your job over this – it should be more of a spare cash situation, not something you depend upon for rent and food – it can be really hit-or-miss. When I asked how much they make per deal, the numbers were all over the place. One girl made $150 on a pair of socks, but had to wear them for two weeks straight. Most girls seemed to make $20-$50 per garment. Most increased the price for long-term wear or for special requests.
Not to sound judgy, but people make some unexpected requests. Simply buying used underwear is the tip of the iceberg. Some request the wearer have a certain number of orgasms, for fart or “deep cunt” smells (??). Others want a skid mark or a little sprinkling of pee. My consultants all said to know your boundaries. If a client is being rude or pushy, they can be blocked. Some sellers include things like recordings or nude pictures, but many sellers don’t offer anything but the garment. The wonderful thing is that there’s a computer screen between buyer and seller. Some sellers keep things strictly business in their negotiations, while others like to be more flirtatious.
Potential clients are everywhere. Some people use Amazon or eBay, while others use FetLife or alt.com. There are Facebook groups dedicated to the trade. On websites with message boards, make sure to read and adhere to the groups rules. Like any other part of the internet, admins can be real sticklers for how and when people post. There are definitely girls out there that just take people’s money and never send anything, but organized groups of angry panty-buyers will track them down pretty quick. At the very least, bad sellers are blacklisted.
When sending scuzzy underthings to strangers, it’s important the goods stay “fresh.” Some girls went so far as to vacuum seal their garments. Others wrap them in wax paper and use a plastic baggy. Just remember to use a P.O. box for a return label and you’re good to go!
There you have it, the stinky world of panty selling. The economy around bodily secretions is a fascinating one; just remember to stay safe out there and to have fun.
