In a recent documentary titled 'Osta mun pikkarit' aired by Yle, two women, Maria and Tara, reveal the unusual market for selling used panties. The documentary highlights that men are specifically interested in panties that exhibit various bodily fluids, including urine and sweat. Despite the shocking nature of the demand, the sellers emphasize that their buyers are ordinary Finnish men, ranging from boyfriends and husbands to single men and fathers.

Maria and Tara share that while they typically ship the panties, they also meet 'trustworthy' buyers in person. They describe some of the peculiar requests they receive, including the desire for panties worn during workouts or in extreme cases, even those stained by vomit. This aspect of the documentary sheds light not only on the sellers' experiences but also on the intriguing dynamics of personal preferences in this niche market.

While the business helps Maria and Tara earn some extra cash, they clarify that it does not serve as a significant income source. The documentary opens a conversation about the social aspects of such transactions, reflecting broader issues concerning human sexuality, privacy, and the commercialization of intimacy in today's society.
