Current Events > Inside the Thriving Online Market for Women's Dirty Underwear

(+) Yeah! (+)

You've heard about Japan's used-underwear vending machines. They were in the Telegraph; they were in countless listicles about why Japan is a wacky place full of things that scare people from Middle England; they were probably referred to in one of those shit jokes Jimmy Carr does at the beginning of 8 out of 10 Cats. You know about them.

However, what you're possibly less familiar with is the UK's steady trade of soiled-to-order knickers. Should you want, you can get your hands on pants stained with whatever manner of bodily fluid you desire, all of them produced bespoke by local British underwear artisans.

"Veronica Vixon," 23-year-old who lives in Bristol, started selling her dirty knickers for 15 ($23) a pop on Craigslist when she lost her job as a care worker. She lives with her boyfriend, who takes photos of her modeling the merchandise for clients. I asked her what her boyfriend thinks of men using her sullied knickers as masturbatory aids. "He quite likes it, actually," she told me.

In fact, Veronica's boyfriend sometimes plays a crucial part in the panties she sells. Veronica explained how, very vividly, before running through some other popular requests. The main one is to wear the panties while masturbating, and "quite a lot want me to wee in them." A couple of punters have asked that she **** herself while wearing the underwear they've commissioned, but, understandably, it's not really something she wants to do.

Speaking to Veronica, I wondered who these guys were and what exactly motivates them to spend 15 on a pair of panties. Obviously the motives are sexualas far as I can see, there's little other reason you'd want to pay for someone else's underwearbut what specifically do customers get out of the deal?

Sixty percent of buyers are under 40, he told me, and 92 percent are men. The other 8 percent, as you might have guessed via a basic knowledge of human biology, are women, some of whom are sellers on the site. A third of the buyers are married and most are regular customers. Paul also gave me a breakdown of what the buyers do when they receive the used knickers; according to his stats, 31 percent masturbate with them, 30 percent smell them, 13 percent wear them, 12 percent put them in a drawer, 8 percent lick them, 5 percent just look at them, and 1 percent wash them and wear them.

I wanted to get a more personal perspective on the type of people who use Paul's site, so I reached out to a number of them for a chat. One guy, who describes himself as a "human toilet," was pretty representative of the more invested end of the scale. He told me that he's collected a couple of dozen pairs in the last 12 months, likes them "as dirty as possible" and enjoys burying his face in them.

Mid-range, there were the guys who've bought fewer pairs and prefer to wear them normally rather than over their face. "I'll put them on, pull them to one side and wank," said Satinpantlicker, a 32-year-old who lives in the UK. "In short, I do a lot of wanking!"

This doesn't sound right. I'm guessing about 99% smell them AND masturbate with them.

According to Paul, buying the pants is a means to an end for most of his customers. He says that what the guys really want is someone to chat toan online girlfriend. He told me the women who sell the most on his site are those who interact with their customers the most and build up their confidence in them. He admits that they also tend to be quite pretty, but makes it clear that "that's not the main criteria." What the guys really want, he says, is "open mindednesssomeone who's open to discussion, who'll be a psychologist and a confidant."

Veronica Vixen agreed: "It's part of it, really. They enjoy that communication. They like to chat to you a lot through email, and you feel like you've got to know them, like a Facebook friend. They want someone to talk to."

I can understand sniffing a cute chick's ass, but I can't comprehend reaching this level of degeneracy.

Paul claimed that the most successful sellers on his site could make $2,300 to $3,300 a month. I asked Veronica Vixen and Goddess Alexis if they made enough to live on. Veronica told me her boyfriend is the main breadwinner, saying, "He pays the rent and bills. Anything I make is spending money." Goddess Alexis said she worked part-time, and Veronica added, "I do the odd cleaning job for ladies on my road."
