Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?That's not the point lol, I don't find it particularly hot unless it's mutual, I'd be just in it for the money.(Original post by cambio wechsel)
you too can wear underpants and even send the worn pairs to strangers. Getting paid for it might be a stretch, yes. -
Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?Presumably maths debating with said knickers(Original post by justmyopinions)

Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?Propositioned, if anything.(Original post by cambio wechsel)
Shouldn't that be prepositioned in PM? -
Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?I don't understand. Why would people want to buy used underwear? Underwear is hardly an expensive garment (it can be purchased really cheaply) so even if the previous wearer had only worn it for say 1 day - most people would not be so desperate as to buy it just because it was undervalued relative to fresh underwear in the shops.(Original post by littleone271)

Before I bumped into this article I had heard that people used to do this years ago by posting ads in papers and always found it hilarious and totally gross.
My personal opinion on the subject of the article is that I'd be comfortable doing this with socks but maybe not so comfortable doing it with dirty knickers... I certainly don't think it's immoral. After all... where there is a demand there will be a supplier and it's not like it's hurting anyone or putting you at risk in the same way as prostitution because you wouldn't ever meet that person...
Hmmm...
What do you guys think?
Have any of you done this before? If so, what was your experience/what are your experiences and how much did/do you charge?
If you havn't done it before, Would you do it? If so, how much do you think you would charge?
It's not as though you have to discard your underwear every few days. Supposing you could only wear underwear for 1 day and had to constantly keep buying new ones, I can understand the logic of buying used underwear for people. But otherwise it just doesn't make any economic sense. -
Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?If I could sell my underwear substantially more than a similarly priced item of new underwear in a shop then I would do it. A riskless profit can be locked in that way. Otherwise, what would be the point?(Original post by littleone271)
But would you do it?
I would never buy anyone's used underwear though. I have a reasonable supply of my own already. -
Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?I think the correct term would be "via" PM, but nice try.(Original post by cambio wechsel)

Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?I too have had multiple PMs asking or pictures of my feet, for example, after stating I wouldn't say no to getting paid for photos of my feet..
Some asking for more than others!
OT
Socks, I'd sell, knickers.. No thanks!
tempting, but just that bit too creepy to think of someone, somewhere, sniffing my pants... -
Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?Sorry - what?
I've bought underwear from an online store before. Getting a pack of 5 boxer shorts is fairly cheap. I don't think most people would be so short of cash that they choose to buy a pack of 5 used ones just because there might be a 50% discount. -
Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?They obviously have a fetish for dirty underwear.. So they're willing to pay for smelly knickers. Obviously you sell them for a lot more than what they cost. For instance.. I could buy 5 pairs of sexy knickers for £3 each and spend a day wearing each pair, putting them in plastic bags at the end of each day and then sell them online for £20 a pair + postage and I will have effectively made £85 without having to do any actual work whatsoever.(Original post by effofex)

Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?Go on ebanned.com and adpost and you'll see the kind of stuff that people are willing to buy. I saw an ad asking for womens used tampons and there was one guy selling condoms with cum in them.(Original post by iamyourspiritfrombeyondth)
I'd do it.
No-one wants 3 year old cum-stained umbro boxers with holes in them though.
Surely? -

Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?Why would anyone want to pay that much for your dirty underwear when they could just wear their own for 2 days, sweat in it, take if off and then rub their nose in it for free?(Original post by littleone271)

Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?I guess some men obviously like the smell of gone off girly goo soaked knickers lol and I guess different people smell different so they probably find it quite exciting trying to imagine what you look like from how you smell.. It is a little bit odd but I can kind of understand it I guess. They probably wouldn't feel comfortable asking women that they know in person for their dirty underwear so they obviously buy it online instead to keep everything discreet and anonymous.(Original post by effofex)

Re: Swapping dirty underwear for cash. What is your opinion?I think you're being naive if you think there are substantial numbers of people who want to wear other people's dirty underwear rather than just buying their own, because:(Original post by littleone271)
HAHAHA SO naive!
a) used underwear is going to be more unhygeinic than fresh underwear
b) compared to most items of clothing underwear is considered as an 'essential', so is relatively cheap. I don't think anyone is so impoverished that they are forced into buying discount-priced used underwear from someone because they cannot afford the cheapest fresh item in clothes shops.
