The used panties market has been growing for years — but it’s also been dragging along the same misunderstandings for just as long. There’s a lot of noise around this fetish: unfounded opinions, half-truths and prejudices that have nothing to do with reality. If you’ve ever been curious about buying used panties but something has held you back, one of these myths might have something to do with it. Let’s debunk the most common ones one by one.
Myth 1: “It’s illegal”
False. The buying and selling of used underwear between adults is completely legal. There is no law in Spain or in most countries that prohibits this type of transaction. It’s a purchase like any other: two consenting adults reaching an agreement on a product. The only difference is that the product in question is a garment that has been worn.
Specialist platforms like Secret Panties operate within the legal framework precisely because there’s nothing stopping them. If it were illegal, they wouldn’t exist.
Myth 2: “Only people with problems do this”
Completely false. The fetish for used underwear is one of the most studied and documented forms of desire in psychology and sexology. Several studies place object fetishism among the most common fantasies in adults, with percentages exceeding 30% of the population in some research.
People who buy used panties are, in the vast majority of cases, fully functional adults with normal lives who simply have a sexual preference that doesn’t fit the conventional mould. Curiosity and desire have nothing pathological about them.
Myth 3: “It’s unhygienic”
This myth deserves a little more context. Used panties are typically sent in sealed zip bags, which limits any external contamination during transport. Contact with used underwear poses no documented health risk for a healthy adult.
That said, if you have specific hygiene concerns, you can always raise them with the seller before placing your order. Most are happy to clarify any details about how they prepare and ship their items.
Myth 4: “It’s too expensive and not worth it”
Another widespread myth is that buying used panties is costly and out of reach for most people. The reality is that the market has options for every budget. You can find items from as little as €15 for standard wear, with prices going up depending on wear time, garment type or any extras included in the order.
If you compare it to other forms of erotic content online — monthly subscriptions, pay-per-view videos, adult content platforms — the price of a used panty is perfectly competitive. And unlike a video or a photo, it’s something physical, unique and impossible to replicate. For many buyers, that added value more than justifies the price.
Myth 5: “There’s no way it can be discreet”
One of the most common fears among people considering buying used underwear for the first time is that someone will find out. The reality is that specialist platforms are designed precisely to guarantee that discretion. Payments don’t appear with explicit references to the content, packages arrive without logos or any indication of what’s inside, and your real identity is never shared with the seller.
Buying used panties online through Secret Panties is as discreet as buying anything else on the internet — with the difference that here, privacy is a genuine priority, not an afterthought.
Now that you have the facts, the decision is yours.
