Have you ever thought about selling used underwear online to make money?

Before just a few days ago, I certainly had not. This coming from a girl who comes up with a new way to make money every other day and recently wrote a massive article covering over 101 different side hustle ideas for women. Let me tell you, of all of those 101 side hustle ideas, selling dirty undies online was not one of them.

But as a woman who is also all about women pursuing entrepreneurship and making money online, I'd be lying if I told you it didn't pique my interest when the idea of selling used underwear online was suggested to me. I mean, who am I to judge — I did also write a lengthy post about how to make money on OnlyFans. And whether I'm judging or not, the OnlyFans creators are over there making bank!

But I digress. Selling underwear online for profit to total strangers is apparently “a thing”. Just the same as selling pictures of your feet, being paid as others watch you eat, or doing who knows what for your “fans” on OnlyFans. The fact is that sex sells — even though something so seemingly unassuming as selling used underwear.

Why would someone want to buy your used underwear?

I'm no expert in the selling of used underwear, but I can only imagine why men (I'm assuming is the majority consumer base) would want to buy the used underwear or the worn underwear of a lady.

According to one Quora user “It's is about the scent. The aroma/pheromones create a brain response that is sexually arousing. I think it's also the taboo and submissiveness. The person selling them knows they have power over me.”

Um, ok.

Why would someone want to sell their used underwear?

Is there some sort of arousing reason why someone would want to sell their used underwear online to a stranger? Perhaps. But I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that many people who choose to sell their worn underwear online are doing it for the money.

Selling dirty panties online is a side hustle if your want to make what's seemingly easy money online — that is if your morals are aligned with selling dirty knickers to some potentially dirty men.

If this just doesn't feel right for you, for sure, stay far and clear from this idea. Especially when there are SO many different ways to make money these days. But if you don't take issue with this kind of income source here are some of the upsides of this unconventional venture.

  • Easy to start up.
  • Low investment cost.
  • Low over head costs.
  • Can remain anonymous.
  • Great side hustle as youre working a full time job or another business idea.
  • Future potential to make really big bucks if you become a successfull dirty panty seller (as in the panties are dirty, not neccerly you ????).

How much money can you make selling worn underwear online?

Selling used underwear online can earn you as much as $20 to $100+ according to Panty Selling School (I know, that's also “a thing”). Sellers who just want some fast cash may be able to get $20 for each set of used underpants that they sell. And if you can manage to sell say one pair of panties Monday through Friday, then boom, that's $100 for the week (not including shipping and the costs of the actual panties).

The earning potential of most people however pales in comparison to what many famous performers bring home each month selling used underwear— some earning upwards of three thousand dollars per month.

From a buyer's perspective, when asked what’s the most he'd ever paid for a pair of dirty knickers, a Vice interviewee said “I think the most I’ve paid is about £550. But to be honest, I would be willing to pay any amount for a very nice dirty pair.”

Is it safe to sell my dirty underwear online?

Safety seems like a reasonable concern to consider if you're thinking about selling used underwear online. Physical safety of course, but also perhaps the safety of your reputation.

The good thing about selling anything online is that you don't need to deal face to face with people. Considering that selling used women's lingerie online is risky enough as it is, but imagine selling to a client who just wants to chat you up… I can only imagine that experience would be just entirley too much.

Yes, selling your own underwear is a little startling at first but it really doesn't seem to be dangerous if you do not meet up with someone in person. All you have to do is take high-quality photos so that buyers can see exactly what is what.

Additionally, you can choose if you even want to be part of the images or not. With regards to this point, however, I would imagine the buyers perhaps enjoy seeing who was wearing the used panties they're splurging on.

I am not a lawyer and I certainly don't know the law in this area of business.

With that said, I don't imagine that selling old used dirty panties is illegal. Although, because it could certainly be perceived as sexually related, I would say definitely do your research for your own local jurisdiction.

Pros Of Selling Used Underwear

places where to sell used panties

It’s Easy

Selling used underwear seems like a pretty easy gig if you ask me. I mean, you already wear underwear every day anyway. And so if someone wants to take them off your hands and save you the trouble of laundering them… If it's aligned with your personal morals and you think it's something you wouldn't mind doing… heck, who is anyone else to judge.

It's time flexible

While if you'll be selling dirty underwear you'll need to “work the undies” from 9-5 (if you know what I mean) (omg, cringe)… Once the underwear has been well worn, it doesn't take much time or effort to take them off, throw them in a box, and ship them off to the buyer.

You Can Do It With Other Side-Hustles

As I mentioned before, I'm a gal that's all about multiple streams of income. I really like the fact that this is a gig that you can do as you're working on other projects at the same time.

If you're interested in other side hustle ideas for women or business ideas for women that can earn you some extra money while you're selling your dirty panties (or not)… be sure to check out this list of 101 side hustle ideas for women I put together.

Cons Of Selling Used Underwear 

Sales are inconsistent

As an online seller of other things (that are not at all related to dirty undies), the truth is that sometimes online sales, in general, can be inconsistent. I would imagine especially so with such a niche item.

Sure there are many stories of ladies cashing in big time by selling their underwear online, but I'd be willing to bet that these stories aren't as common (I could be totally wrong though). What I'm really saying though is that I don't know how dependable this is as a standalone idea for someone starting this from scratch.

It's a bit uncomfortable

As comfortable as one might be with sex and their body, I think to a normal person, selling your dirty underwear online to a total stranger is at the very least a bit strange. It might even be downright uncomfortable to muster up the courage to package up a pair of dirty underwear, march them into your local post office, and hand them over to the nice lady sitting behind the counter with a smile.

Could be bad for your reputation

For the sake of my own reputation, let me preface this by saying this… I do not personally sell my dirty underwear online to make money. Although I don't at all judge anyone who does. Additionally, I totally endorse women making money online and making money in all kinds of creative ways.

One thing to consider however is that many people perhaps are not as liberal in their way of thinking. And selling dirty panties online certainly sounds like something that might ruffle a few feathers of your friends, family, colleagues, or anyone who ever found about it.

If this money-making idea is intriguing to you, consider how you can sell your worn panties online anonymously without showing your face. You definitely don't want your attempt at trying to make some quick money online to come back to bite you in the future.

Selling Used Underwear on Craiglist

Among the crazy things you can buy and sell on Craigslist afterall include (but are not limited to) belly button lint, a heart-shaped potato, or perhaps a sofa made of stone. And so it comes as no surprise that you can buy and sell dirty underwear on Craiglist.

In an anonymous Glamour story, one college students share about how in a lucrative month, she made $1,700 selling her lightly used underwear and socks on Craigslist, cashing out at $120 per pair.

During my own “investigation” however (if you want to call it that), no results were shown when I typed in “used underwear” or “dirty panties” on Craiglist. Perhaps Craigslist is cracking down on this practice?

If Craigslist is a troublesome platform for this line of business, it's a good thing that there are plenty of platforms created for the sole purpose of buying and selling used undies…

On selling worn panties on Ebay

In short, selling dirty panties is not allowed per the eBay TOS, as outlined in their Used Clothing Policy

“Used underwear and socks are not allowed, even if they are clean. Examples include boxer shorts, panties, briefs, diapers, and athletic supporters. Bras are not considered underwear.”
