People usually throw away old clothes that are no longer usable. However, for one woman in Britain, used underwear has become a source of income. 26-year-old Amira Evans claims that some men are willing to pay hundreds of pounds for her used underwear. According to Amira, some buyers wear these items under their everyday clothing.
According to a report by the Daily Star, Amira, who lives in Bristol, is a social media content creator. She said that she initially did not know there could be buyers for used underwear. Then, a constant demand for such items from men began.
After this, Amira started viewing it as an earning opportunity. She notes that clients pay not only for the underwear itself but also for the personal and secret experience associated with it.
Amira reported that some men wear her underwear under boxers or other clothing and then go to work in office uniforms or suits. Nevertheless, Amira does not fully understand the reason for this behavior of the clients. She believes that perhaps some people feel closer to her because of this.
According to Amira, she receives between 100 and 500 British pounds for one pair of used underwear. In Indian rupees, this amount is approximately between 12,000 and 60,000. Amira considers this a good way to earn money because it does not require much effort. She explains that most of the work involves wearing, packaging, and sending the underwear through the post office.
When men first contacted her to buy used underwear, she found it a bit strange. However, over time, she changed her attitude. She says that if the job brings in a good income and does not cause her any problems or losses, then it doesn't bother her.
Amira also sees it as an experience that gives her a sense of empowerment. She emphasizes that earning several hundred pounds without major expense is profitable for her.
Amira added that client demand is not limited to underwear. She also receives orders to send socks, trousers, tracksuits, and other clothing. She states that she does not judge clients for such requests. If the client is willing to pay and she herself feels comfortable fulfilling the order, she completes it.
Amira pointed out one of the risks of this activity. She warns about the need to be careful regarding her location when sending parcels. Since the recipient can sometimes find out where the parcel was sent from, Amira considers it extremely important to keep her personal information and location secret. For this, she uses alternative delivery options or courier services.
Thus, Amira has created an additional income model by combining social media content creation with the sale of used clothing. According to her, what might have been useless to her after use brings her in an income of 100 to 500 pounds.
