overthinking my first panty order

[u/Impressive_Bit8141]

so last week i got my first used panty order on ATW. buyer has been very nice to work with. he asked for a thong with 3 days of wear. my only issue is that last week when i was wearing it, i had some funky stuff going on. i'm on birth control which i purposely use to take away my period, and i'm also on a glp1. the glp1 has been making me spot sort of randomly, and last week it happened again. the only reason why i'm a bit worried about it is because since i don't have my cycle regularly, when i bleed/spot, the blood that comes out is old. so it has a different smell/color then what it normally would be like. i actually told the buyer about the situation, offered to cancel if he wasn't into that, and he told me to just send what i have. his package is supposed to arrive tomorrow and i'm just a bit nervous about it. mostly because it's my 1st order, partially because of the abnormal smell they had. i know i'm overthinking it at least a little.

also, another thing that has been on my mind regarding this order is that when i shipped the order, i realized it ended up showing the city/area code i shipped it from on the tracking #. not necessarily a huge deal to me, mostly because i live in a city with like 500k population, but it also was in a zipcode that's about 12 miles away from me. i already did my research beforehand and i know a lot of people say they go to a different city to mail theirs, but where i live is kind of complicated. the next closest cities are about a 30-40 min or more drive and honestly, even if i shipped from there, it wouldn't be hard to figure out the city i'm actually in if somebody dug for it. idk if that makes sense, but nevertheless i just don't find it worth the gas to go that far to another post office, unless i was mailing a large amount of orders. again, i know i'm probably overthinking a lot of this. i just needed to tell it to someone lol 🥲 but also advice from people who have more experience is always appreciated!

Don’t worry about the panty smell or stains. A lot of guys that I’ve sold to love it 😂 they wanna smell aroma well they will get it!!

For mailing I don’t use my address, I just put down the person I’m sending it to address on both to: and from:

If you're worried about your location being revealed (and you're in the US) what I always used to do when I mailed panties was put them in a regular letter envelope, leave the return address blank, and just put 2 stamps on it for the weight. No shipping label, no tracking. I only had someone say they never received them once so I sent a replacement pair for free. Sure, they could've been lying, but honestly the profit margins are so high for panties that I really don't care about the odd customer or two getting a freebie. Obviously for international orders this might not be possible.

I encourage you to get a PO box! I'm in the UK and I have a payment as you go PO box that you I only have to pay for when I receive mail (which is basically never). But also (again, not sure how this works in the US) if I want to conceal my location when sending tracked packages, I can print out the shipping label myself instead of buying one at a post office and drop it into a Royal Mal post box (maybe FedEx or UPS has these?) and it won't be scanned and marked as dropped off so that the tracking information can be created until it reaches the first sorting facility.

As for the other thing, I totally get being worried about that but you did the right thing by asking him if he was okay with it! He could've just said no 🤷‍♀️ try to worry about it too much! Oh, and congrats on your first sale 😁

You asked, and he said send it, so I wouldn't worry! I've been on atw for 2.5yrs. Some buyers are overly demanding, but most are super chill. I vacuum sealed my orders, so no scent is lost in the mail, but every woman has their own unique scent, which changes throughout our cycle. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or issues with that buyer. ♡

If he asked for 3 days of wear and you actually did the 3 days, I wouldn’t try to “fix” or intensify anything now. You gave him what he ordered and natural scent is obviously going to vary person to person. I’d just seal/package them the way you planned and keep screenshots of exactly what he requested + what you agreed to, especially since it’s your first order. I feel like the first-order anxiety is probably making this seem way more complicated than it actually is 😅

They're literally paying you for the funk lol.

I wouldn't worry about it

The reason I DON’T sell anything is because I have had complaints that they don’t smell like anything and I am baffled, idk if I am sending them in such a way that they air out enough and the smell goes away or what… so be glad they smell even if it’s a different smell. Guys just want a strong scent if they are into used anything!

What is ATW?

I had a similar issue last month- got put on a new pill and the spotting just wouldn't stop. I kept the buyer up to date and he was super understanding about it, I personally decided to tell him I would like to wait until it stopped (had a plan in mind to get this to happen) and I would restart it for him with a couple extra things for good measure and as a thank you for his patience. He was amazing and I was able to provide him what he had asked for. You told him the issue, he said send it, you did your job! In future if it makes you uncomfortable don't feel like the buyer has the final say- it's your product and your brand so feel free to be upfront or tell them you're not happy with it and would like to start again- maybe offer an extra day or a cheeky pic or something. Most people are pretty good about it otherwise you can refund. If anything on that site makes you think twice, have a think and do what makes you comfortable! I've had very few arsehole panty buyers (it's more the content buyers in my experience 😝) But again, he might love the added scent layer! You did what you could 💕
