Many of us selling used panties in the sex industry have noticed a lot of sensationalized stories in the media about what we do and how much money we make. This downplays the amount of effort and hard work we put in and can lead to wrong ideas about what we do and the type of people that we are.

I have been selling panties, custom photos and foot wear items now for nearly 3 years now, but I am not a millionaire and I don’t 'encourage' people (unlike some unrealistic sellers in the media recently) to sell unless it is right for them.

Picture the scene, a woman in her early thirties, fairly newly single, glass of wine in hand (indulge me, this won’t take long, I promise). Bored of the seemingly endless dating app messages comprising of ‘heyyyyy’ and not much else she’s mindlessly scrolling through the internet, when an article grabs her eye… someone selling their panties for $1000 a piece!

There is a lot of misrepresentation surrounding the fetish industry, with articles being written about the 'Ease of panty selling' and claims of girls making $5000 from selling just one pair of panties. And certain T.V. shows depicting panty sellers as scammers, who are just out make some fast cash.

It's so frustrating for girls like myself, who work hard within the panty-selling industry, to read about these fictitious claims. So I'd like to try to give a more realistic account of panty selling with a view to help set the record straight & hopefully debunk the myth of easy money and wild earning claims.

I was at University 3 years ago, after binging on Orange is the new Black I came across an Amazon Kindle called 'How to sell your used panties online and earn $200 per day', needless to say I invested my last $4 and downloaded 2 different apps before I could even start reading this dribble.

The tips were full of promises, easy panty selling, earn $200 a day, guaranteed used panty sales everyday on this used panty site or another, how to find panty fetish pervs who would get off sniffing student panties, bla bla bla.
By day 6 and page 4 I was convinced that whoever wrote it had never even tried to sell anything to anyone.
                                                               

“Is it true that you can make £50,000 a year selling your dirty underwear?”
“Do you have a Pay-Pig?”
“Have you been able to quit your job since selling your used underwear?”
“What’s the most you’ve made on a pair of panties?”

These are all questions I have received, both from buyers and from prospective sellers of used underwear.

I came across this particular article below when I was traveling to a meeting and at first I laughed at how ridiculous it sounded but actually when I read it again it made me a little concerned if not a bit angry.

Woman makes £50,000 from selling dirty panties per year
Is panty selling lucrative and can you really make £50,000 a year?

Panty selling is a huge fetish - so many people like sniffing, tasting, masturbating in and wearing all those different sexy styles of panties. You would think because there are so many facets to panty selling that the sellers would be making a lot of money, the reality of panty selling however is quite the opposite...

Panty selling has been portrayed in the media as something that is easy to do - What is more easy then putting on your underwear, wearing it all day and then have someone buy those dirty pants, it even saves on you washing... Doesn’t it?

Well, the reality is a lot more complex...

Hi, i'm Aaliyah, a UK bisexual brunette selling my dirty knickers with a very kinky fetish side!

Dealing with time wasters lurking in the used panties fetish community is one of the biggest challenges, their existence is often the reason why new panty sellers quit within a few weeks having earned nothing.

So how much money can a panty seller realistically make?
Once you learned how to dodge time-waters, it depends on your level of commitment, but if you've read Cosmopolitan magazine made up stories or you think you can earn £200 every day, you are dreaming.

Making money selling used panties is not as easy as running a fictional prison sweat shop.

I sell about 5 to 8 used pair of socks every month, guys into feet fetishes really like strong smells so 24 hours wear is never enough.

I wear socks for 2 to 3 days, so realistically i can’t sell more then 2 pairs of stinky socks ever week, but sometimes I get a worn panty order at the same time so imagine a 30£ socks order and a 20£ used panty order twice a week, it’s a good week but it is not every week.

Pssst! Girl…over here!

Yeah, you. Come hither.
We need to talk, woman to woman.
A little birdie told me you’re thinking of selling your panties online. You’ve been reading about the girl who says she made $5k on one pair, watching Piper & Co cashing out on Felonious Spunk, and you have dollar signs dancing in your head.

We’ve all heard the stories.
I can’t believe this needs to be said in 2017, but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
You need to get your panties out of the clouds and come back to Earth. Panty selling requires time and effort in order to pay off, just like anything else in life.

Glamour Magazine UK printed an article by careers advisor Tanya de Grunwald called SL (Easy) Money? featuring a used panty seller called ‘Sarah’.
Plenty of girls have been taken in by the article though.

I have received numerous emails in the last few weeks from girls keen to set up their own used panty selling ‘business’.  And who could blame them?
The article, entitled ‘SL (Easy) Money?’, states that it is possible to earn £500 from just half a day’s work. I can assure them it is not true.

I have always been quite the pervert. So when I discovered panty selling, I was immediately intrigued. I mean, what else was I doing with my old panties i no longer wanted? I was throwing them out!  The idea was very appealing to me and to get money from it was a bonus.  So began my search for where and how to sell. In my research I learned about Panty Trust and after some reading I knew this was the website I wanted to join.

So I began the application process, they were more strict (for lack of a better word) than other websites seemed to be but that didn't phase me at all. I knew it was for a reason.

Don’t get your panties in a knot.... while being a used panty seller can be extremely exciting and rewarding, IT IS NOT EASY MONEY!
Being a panty seller is a huge time commitment, so consider how much time you can devote to selling before you get started.

In the panty selling community we see a lot of ladies coming in with false expectations.

Here are some of the most common myths about panty selling:

Panty Selling is not for the faint hearted. It takes commitment: commitment to your limitations, boundaries, clients, advertising, quality of service, consistency and the list goes on. We work in this world because we love it.

The fact that we make money from it is a secondary bonus, much like anyone else on this Earth who is lucky enough to find something they enjoy a huge amount and manages to get paid; they would most likely do it in some capacity even if the financial rewards were slim and quite often, they can be!

Last Fall (2016) I was on the treadmill reading a Cosmopolitan articles when I saw an article on selling used panties and the woman being interviewed was talking about how much money this fetish was paying her. Even tho the Cosmo article seemed a bit surreal, I was intrigued that a guy would pay money for used panties. And I also was a little excited at the prospect (who knew I had a kinky side?).
After some research, I found the Panty Trust community. My application was accepted and after verification I was off on my new journey of selling my panties.
