Hello,
I'm Thora Burger (my non-fake-just-not-my-ID-name, i read your blog :p) and
first I'd just like to thank what you're doing. It's extremely helpful for
sellers and buyers. Blogs like yours were really a life saver.
So I have
a few questions (you said on twitter we could contact you via email so i
preferred it than tweeting it)
Do you
know about the subreddit r/pantyselling? What do you think of it if you do?
I've been there since I began selling because it seemed much more preferable to
the paying websites out there and the community is really good (the vast
majority of my non-serious messages and time wasters came from outside that
subreddit who saw me on r/UnderwearGW)
Also, the
biggest problem i've been having is with packaging, specifically air sealing
the panties. I don't have zip lock bags, just regular plastic sandwich bags
(for some reason no market near me sells the sealable ones, going to look again
when i run out of these). I put the panties in one of them, cut the excess,
compress it in a book (this I saw recommended on a blog or forum) and then i
burn it shut trying to keep all the air out. I do this again with another bag
and compress it more (there's always tiny leaks for the air to come out) and
finish with clear sticky tape. What I'd like to know is, do you think what I'm
doing makes a difference or is even a little bit as effective as vacuum
sealing? I'd like a vacuum sealer but they are all so expensive I feel I should
look for another option. I've tried researching it but all I got was the vacuum
seal method and the one Im using right now. So I'd like the opinion of someone
more experienced.
Thank you
and sorry for the long email :)
Dear Thora,
Nice name! It’s sort of like Dora, only doesn’t remind me of the kids
show (sorry to my friend Dora, fellow Aussie used panty seller! You’re gorgeous,
even if you don’t speak Spanish like her!)
Glad your question wasn’t, “How do you use reddit to sell my used
panties?” actually. I’ve tried to use reddit to sell my used panties in the
past and honestly I still can’t work out how to navigate the website. After I
received this I contacted the people who run that reddit (I was on there before
they made it harder to post) Messaging the mod who was running it through
reddit’s messaging system and her response came, very huffy about how I should
send her a mod-message… but she’s the mod, and I did message her? See. Don’t
get it.
The process you’re using to keep your used panties fresh sounds rather complicated. You don’t breath in
the burnt-plastic air do you? That can’t be good for you.
My advice to you would be find some ziplock bags. You can buy them
online on places like eBay and Amazon if you can’t find them in local stores.
I’ve used them since I started selling my used panties two years ago and haven’t
had any problems or any complaints. My panties always arrive fresh and my
buyers seem pretty happy.
When I use ziplock bags I still compress them as much as possible by
using a book, rolling the ziplock bag and sometimes even by sucking out the air
myself. Whatever works, really.
I know a few used panty sellers use vaccum sealing with mixed results.
Most seem happy but a few I’ve spoken to have told me that sometimes it sucks
the moisture out of the panties if you try to seal the bag with the panties
still moist. If you were only ever sending dry panties and had the spare cash,
this might be the option for you if not however, it’s not a requirement. Don’t
feel like you need one!
I hope this helps.
‘Til next time,
Belle
