Scrolling Vinted. Who tries to sell used Ann Summers dressing up clothes? (a stringy thong all in one type outfit). Advertised as good condition so obviously used?
No amount of washing would could clean that surely.

Eww, it probably isn't for "wearing " 🤢

There are a lot of mingers on vinted - it’s almost comical some of the grotty shit people think is worth a bob. Extra entertainment points if they model it with gnarly toenails, dodgy tats or shit hole backdrops.

Slightly different - I sold some ski gear including socks. Three pairs for £60. I only wanted a fiver but it just went mental. Used socks are a thing apparently.

Someone donated a bin bag full of this stuff at a charity shop....🤢🤢🤢🤢

I know someone who videos his feet for tiktok then sells his unwashed socks to gay men who watch the videos. He is not gay. I imagine used thongs sell very well.

People are weird.

There was a woman on here the other day complaining that a coat she bought on vinted smelled unwashed. Others will be fully expecting the things they buy on vinted to be unwashed, if you know what I mean.

They are probably the sort of people who never get a sniff of another human being anywhere near them because they are weird/gross/unattractive/socially inept losers, so they have to content themselves with used underwear from a stranger, instead of a real sexual partner.

I was trying to create a bundle of boys clothes and this was randomly there. I can't not see it now. Just the thought of wearing a thong (hated them even when I had youth and a pert bum) let alone a used thong!

There was an article on bbc breakfast about the garbage people send to charity shops, and this isn't rare.

I used to volunteer for a clothes bank, the amount of underwear we had to throw away was astounding!

Women who know that men have fetishes around this kind of thing.

No amount of washing would could clean that surely.
It's not meant to be washed.

Men are rather skanky when you actually look closely at their sexual behaviours.

Probably spent all their money on hellospring26s socks* *😂

Yes there are some yucky sellers on eBay and I think Vinted is going to be just as grim probably.

I'm sure a long time ago I heard about a woman experiencing tough financial times found a market for her well worn tights. Yikes.

@Lomonald its not very nice for volunteers though

It really isn't, We used to get bags and bags of dirty clothes that was probably someone's washing but they couldn't be bothered to do so just donated,

shellyleppard · 09/11/2026 10:38

@Lomonald puts you off volunteering really

There is a market for used underwear- weird perverts buy it.

This post is so delightfully naive, thank you OP for resurrecting my hope of a world that isn't full of pervs.
However, these items are for pervs. No, no amount of washing will get them clean, because they want them smelling of vag. Bleaurgh.
