And a third said: "Three days wear, condition is used. Any special requirements please send a message and I will see what I can do." That includes soiling myself. There’s no shame or judgement from me about doing that, it’s just something I don’t want to do.

Every woman has a memory of the moment they looked into their drawers to discover that they’d run out of clean underwear. Freezing in horror, the choice seems impossible: to re-wear or not to wear? I could never bring myself to go commando and so I’d rush out the door and crawl into work, cowering beneath an imaginary neon sign that screamed out my shame. However, if selling used underwear sounds like an intriguing and easy way to make some extra money, then here’s now you do it. So for example, if a customer asked if I had anything red or lacy, I’d encourage them to ask what they would like me to do while wearing it. This could be anything from going for a jog in it and getting a bit sweaty to more X-rated stuff like pleasuring myself. But Mirror Online has discovered women are still able to thwart regulations and list their 'pre-owned panties'.

I’m also not completely open with my family about it because I’m not ready to share this side of myself with them yet, so I keep my retail job for a sense of stability. A few open-minded close friends – who have OnlyFans accounts – know so it’s nice to be able to confide in them. Although it’s true that to sell used underwear is a crazy, and somewhat disturbing, way to make money, it is a blossoming industry (would you believe?) that can make your bank account boom also. How much you make then is pretty much up to you although you have to bear in mind that for people to take your prices seriously, you have to consider what is reasonable with regards to your competition. The more you sell though, the more you can demand. Alternatively, if you have an eye for the future, then online marketplaces enable you to build up a global clientele and to transact with them on a regular basis. The excitement really came though when I saw the money hit my bank account and it made me realise I should put more effort into what I was doing, from uploading more products to interacting with potential buyers.

I quite like that because some of them feel like my friends. When I’m in conversation with them, I sometimes even forget that they’re customers.Some may also want to have more detailed conversations. While it’s important to keep your customers happy, you need only keep your communication to the minimum and you do not need to sell to people who make you uncomfortable. I don’t think there are huge differences. I think really, people are people. I think wherever you go in the world there’s always going to be people that have a kink and there’s always going to be a need to be filled. It’s just whether people are brave enough to speak about it. But obviously the bigger Panty.com gets the more people are aware of it, and I’m sure there are other avenues people can explore but I’m really proud to be a part of this and it’s nice to make people happy. That was in April 2019 – and just over two years later, I’m still selling my used underwear online and making more money than I do in my full-time retail job. Then I nervously uploaded my first photo. It felt scary that there was a sultry picture of me on the internet. It was something I’d only sent to boyfriends in the past but now it was online for everyone to see.

All panties, tights and lingerie that I pose in are up-for-grabs and worn for a minimum of 24 hours, should you like to claim them for yourself and find why the name Melissa means “honey bee”. For panties and tights I have readily-available, you’re in the right place! I didn’t expect it to be so personal. I thought it was just going to be a transaction with no questions asked. But it’s more about developing relationships with people, they like you and that’s why they buy your stuff. I first got into it when I was a 22 and at uni, and longed for an extra source of income. Having moved out of my childhood home at an early age I was ready for a level of independence that afforded me some extra comfort in life.

Premium Sellers

I’m always worried that I might not be able to make enough selling my items to cover my expenses. My day job gives me that freedom to not worry about that. The final thing you need to do, according to the ‘professionals’, is to ask your buyer to review your product to encourage other people to stop at your profile.

These photos can be as risqué as you like but it’s advisable to keep your face out of the pic. STEP 3: set a price So the more people there are that are selling, the more people there are that are buying, the happier they are, all the people. And that makes me feel happy! While some marketplaces are more established than others, a few such as The Kinky Boutique have been around for more than five years.We understand and respect that discerning panty lovers know what they want and it is our mission to deliver their desires in the most straightforward and fun way possible. I like it actually, I think it’s very respectful, maybe that’s because I’m also British! But I think that we have a slight, sort of, courtship. It’s very cordial. So they’ll say “Hi Mimi, How are you?” and you know “I really like your pictures” or “I’ve really enjoyed looking at your profile”. That’s really nice and there’s always a bit of conversation first.
