Content policy

This site exists to give UK buyers and sellers of used socks, underwear and leggings information they can actually rely on — instead of the influencer hype and knee-jerk dismissal that dominate most other coverage. This policy sets the standards we hold ourselves to across both the editorial site and the marketplace, and how you can hold us to them.

Who we are

Worn For You is both an editorial site and the operator of the Worn For You UK marketplace. The editorial team and the marketplace team share ownership but publish independently. We disclose that relationship on every comparison page and here.

Marketplace relationship disclosure

We operate the Worn For You marketplace. That affects what we can offer (first-party data on UK seller earnings, pricing and buyer behaviour) and what we cannot claim to be (an entirely neutral third party). We compensate for this by:

• Naming the relationship explicitly on every page where Worn For You is discussed as a marketplace.
• Comparing honestly against competitors, including cases where a competitor is stronger on a specific criterion.
• Never recommending Worn For You without stating the criteria under which the recommendation is made.
• Publishing pricing bands, red flags and market realities that apply to every platform equally.

Editorial standards

We prioritise questions we see UK buyers and sellers actually ask — in messages, in reviews, on public forums and in search data. We do not chase novelty for its own sake.

• Pricing bands: derived from active-seller data on the Worn For You marketplace, cross-referenced against publicly visible pricing on other UK platforms. Refreshed at least quarterly.
• Earnings figures: aggregated, anonymised payouts across the Worn For You seller base, where available. We publish ranges, never individual seller results.
• Legal & tax: HMRC published guidance, primary UK legislation, and platform policies as they appear on the platforms' own sites at time of writing.
• Competitor claims: platform sites, terms and public statements. We update within 30 days of a material public change.

Seller-listing standards

Every seller must complete identity and age verification before listing. Listings are moderated by our team before they appear publicly and must meet the following standards:

• Age and consent: content must not depict, imply or be aimed at anyone under 18, and must be consensual. No content involving minors under any framing.
• Honesty: wear duration and item condition must be stated accurately. Staged or misleading claims about wear are not permitted.
• Photographs: images must be of the actual item for sale. Our upload process strips embedded metadata (EXIF) automatically.
• No off-platform solicitation: listings and messages must not solicit payment, contact or transactions outside the on-site checkout.
• Accuracy: correct category, accurate title and a clear description.

We may decline, remove or require edits to any listing that fails these standards, and record the reason.

Verification disclosure

Seller verification is carried out by our third-party identity and age-verification provider, or — where that route is unavailable for a seller — by a documented manual review carried out by our staff. Where manual review is used, the seller's status is labelled as manual admin approval and is never presented as automated third-party verification.

What we won't publish

• Content aimed at anyone under 18, or that sexualises minors under any framing.
• Content promoting off-platform payment, non-consensual transactions or fraud.
• Undisclosed sponsored editorial content or affiliate rankings.
• AI-generated pricing or earnings figures without human verification.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error — a mispriced band, an outdated platform policy, an inaccurate legal statement — email us via the contact page. We correct within 5 working days and add a dated note at the foot of the page where the correction is material.

AI assistance

We use AI tools for drafting and editing. Every published page is reviewed and fact-checked by a human editor before publishing. Numbers, legal claims and competitor statements are always verified against primary sources.

Advertising & affiliate

This site carries no third-party display advertising and no undisclosed affiliate links. Any internal link to the Worn For You marketplace is disclosed as such at the page level. If that ever changes, we will update this section and mark it at the top of the page.
