I ordered a pair of pants from Vinted, but I couldn’t wait for them to arrive

But when the fancy designer trousers arrived, with the tag still attached, Jas looked at them with horror.
Jas shared her Vinted fail on social media, uploading her clip with the caption: ‘I still feel sick.’
She said she had ordered a pair of shiny pants from Manière De Voir from a seller through the popular app.
The fashion lover said the Vinted seller claimed the pants had never been worn before and were therefore brand new.

But Jas kept her mouth shut and gagged as she inspected her new pants. She saw what looked like vaginal discharge in her crotch.
In shock she said, “Guys, guys guys, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.”
Zooming in on the white spot, she added, “That’s in the crotch.”
The Vinted fan was left behind horror by the unexpected stain on her new rhinestone cargo pants, which are currently selling online for £109.99.
Although Jas did not confirm how much she paid for the pants, she described them as “disgusting.”
She also wanted to take a serious stance against the woman she bought the pants from by branding the Vinted seller as ‘not cool’.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @jasminehas clearly caused a lot of surprise, as the video has already been viewed 115,200 times.
Social media users were also shocked by the ugly stain, with many expressing their dismay in the comments.
Who actually wears jeans without pants, that’s gross

Someone said, “This makes me want to have a breakdown.”
Another added: “Why would she sell that, oh my god.”
Why I hate Vinted, a realistic view
Sarah Barns, deputy editor of Fabulous, explains why she hates Vinted:
It’s the king of second-hand fashion, but I hate Vinted.
There I said it. Yes, it keeps stuff out of landfills. Yes, it helps generate extra income for a side job for many.
And yes, you can get things for a bargain. But it’s just not my (shopping)bag.
From my own experience I have bought ‘cheap’ children’s clothes, but the clothes arrived dirty and misshapen.
And with the shipping and buyer protection it didn’t feel like a great deal. I’d much rather go to my local thrift store or grocery store for kids stuff.
I have also bought more expensive clothes – a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos – but I found that they did not fit well and the colours had faded.
I tried to sell some stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail.
One major downside is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I’m not sure I needed the items I bought, I just didn’t want to miss out on them.
The resale of fast fashion items – a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 – also makes me feel uncomfortable.
For many people, buying clothes has become a daily hobby, while it should actually be something they should only do once or twice a year.
But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me.
A third commented: “This is disgusting. THIS is why I always wash my stuff before I send it away.”
While someone else advised: “Send them back.”
At the same time, a woman confessed: “I just choked.”
Meanwhile, another fashionista asked: “Who actually wears jeans without pants, that’s gross.”
