ok i tried sending andrew some tights/flats of mine for his birthday, but by the time they got there the smell had pretty much gone. how do you guys package your socks/shoes when you sendthem to ensure the smell doesnt disappear? thanks in advance AK

Yeah, I received worn socks from Goddess Dee about a couple of weeks ago, and the smell was fantastic. The socks were kept in a zip-lock bag. Definitely use them Athena, the will work very well. -------------------- Smelly, sweaty feet RULE!!!

Athena, i never send out socks... no market for it... lol!! but wifee has sent me stuff in the past.. the double ziplocking it and also squeezing all the air out is the best trick to date i've seen work! good luck with that! RPM p.s. so sweet of you! -------------------- the higher the better the heel.www.highheeledwomen.phpbbserver.com/

I sent out a pair of 5 day worn socks in ziplock bags, double to be exact. And Mommie is on to something...I squeezed out all extra air from both bags to make sure the smell stayed. The guy who got them said when he first sniffed them, and I quote, "they smelled so good I almost nut in my pants!" -------------------- Visit my store: Become a member:
