Would you buy used underwear for your dc?

[DaanSaaf]

There's a man on my local fb selling page advertising used girls underwear age 2-3 years.
I buy a lot of second hand clothes for my dc (and myself) but would never buy underwear and I'm wondering genuinely who would.

I actually felt a bit sick at the thought of who would be buying them and want to know if I'm being unreasonable.

Nah

No I wouldnt.

But our nursery takes donations from parents for spares so I guess it's no different to that really.

No but will hand down clean underwear in the family. Has to be spotless though.

No, but I have used hand me downs

No I wouldn’t. Also I’m not one for shouting perv and paedo at every opportunity but this gives me the creeps.

God no, and I have very very low standards when it comes to hygiene! No one should have to endure second hand underwear!

The seller seems genuine enough, has other children's clothes for sale but it just disturbed me tbh. There are photos and a weird line about there being no obvious stains. Hopefully it's just me feeling a bit ick about it.

Wait, what ?
Used under wear for children 2-3 being sold by a man ?
Im usually very easy going on MN but this does not feel right

No!

But the preloved pants on the fb boden selling groups seem to get snapped up

i used to buy second hand cloth nappies

maybe hes thinking people can use them for toilet training as after a poo incident some just throw away instead or washing

also if you are poor or have 2 close together its just giving them a wash really

before i discovered simply be i used to buy my bras off ebay as they were the only place i could get my size,always give them a good wash though

Agreed.

Hell no. I see it on the Facebook selling page: expensive brands (ie mini Boden etc) been sold second hand. I don’t think the sellers or buyers are “pervs”, but ffs buy your wean new knickers: they’re cheap out of primark

Yuk. No.

toriathet honestly I hope you're right. Something about it just doesn't sit well though.

Vests, yes. Pants, I don’t think so.

I love secondhand clothes, but this seems really creepy to me.
Makes my flesh crawl.
I dread to think who buys them.

I'm considering reporting the post to admins

Thtats absolutely disgusting. Never would I buy used underwear. Ever

Used underwear? Not a chance.

With the price you can get kids underwear from primark etc I would never even consider buying used underwear for my kids. If I wouldn't wear someone else's used underwear then I don't see why my kids should have to.

I would be very, very suspicious of a man selling that sort of thing.

No. Report him. Definitely. What a weirdo.

I'm not sure the seller is a weirdo, maybe just naive. Or maybe I'm being naive
As I said, he's selling other items and his profile has lots of family stuff on. It's just the thought of someone none genuine buying them that's actually making me feel quite ill.
Should I report to admin or message the seller direct?

What if he is just a normal dad selling his daughters old clothes, underwear included. He may realise that not everyone can afford new or maybe they are that desperate for money they have listed everything.

You're not being unreasonable. Can't imagine buying used underwear. There's something disturbingly odd about advertising that.
