Woman in Britain earns money selling used underwear

People usually throw away old clothes that are no longer usable. However, for one woman in Britain, used underwear has become a source of income. 26-year-old Amira Evans claims that some men are willing to pay hundreds of pounds for her used underwear. According to Amira, some buyers wear these items under their everyday clothing.

According to a report by the Daily Star, Amira, who lives in Bristol, is a social media content creator. She said that she initially did not know there could be buyers for used underwear. Then, a constant demand for such items from men began.

After this, Amira started viewing it as an earning opportunity. She notes that clients pay not only for the underwear itself but also for the personal and secret experience associated with it.

Amira reported that some men wear her underwear under boxers or other clothing and then go to work in office uniforms or suits. Nevertheless, Amira does not fully understand the reason for this behavior of the clients. She believes that perhaps some people feel closer to her because of this.

According to Amira, she receives between 100 and 500 British pounds for one pair of used underwear. In Indian rupees, this amount is approximately between 12,000 and 60,000. Amira considers this a good way to earn money because it does not require much effort. She explains that most of the work involves wearing, packaging, and sending the underwear through the post office.

When men first contacted her to buy used underwear, she found it a bit strange. However, over time, she changed her attitude. She says that if the job brings in a good income and does not cause her any problems or losses, then it doesn't bother her.

Amira also sees it as an experience that gives her a sense of empowerment. She emphasizes that earning several hundred pounds without major expense is profitable for her.

Amira added that client demand is not limited to underwear. She also receives orders to send socks, trousers, tracksuits, and other clothing. She states that she does not judge clients for such requests. If the client is willing to pay and she herself feels comfortable fulfilling the order, she completes it.

Amira pointed out one of the risks of this activity. She warns about the need to be careful regarding her location when sending parcels. Since the recipient can sometimes find out where the parcel was sent from, Amira considers it extremely important to keep her personal information and location secret. For this, she uses alternative delivery options or courier services.

Thus, Amira has created an additional income model by combining social media content creation with the sale of used clothing. According to her, what might have been useless to her after use brings her in an income of 100 to 500 pounds.

ChatGPT maintains leadership but loses market share to Gemini and Claude

Although ChatGPT remains the most popular generative artificial intelligence service, its market share has seen a notable reduction of 20% when compared to competitors Google Gemini and Anthropic's Claude, as revealed in the second quarter of 2026.

The data was presented in the latest edition of Comscore's AI Intelligence Report, which was based on information collected by the company's platforms regarding browsing habits on computers and mobile devices.

The survey confirmed that ChatGPT still leads the sector, but it observed a drop in its share, which fell from 70% in January to 50% in June 2026. Simultaneously, Google registered significant growth, with Gemini's share almost doubling, rising from 17% to 30% in the same period.

Claude also demonstrated considerable advancement; having only 2% market share at the beginning of the year, it reached 11% in June. Other monitored services include DeepSeek with 2%, Grok with 1%, and Perplexity with less than 1% in the second quarter of 2026.

The trend indicated by the report suggests that the decrease in ChatGPT's share is not linked to a perceived decline in service quality, but rather to increased competition, which allowed users to test and use other solutions more frequently.

It was found that Google is actively promoting Gemini among its users, utilizing the reach of its web search engine as a strategic pillar. Meanwhile, Anthropic has focused on positioning Claude as a sophisticated tool intended for more complex and professional tasks.

Despite the change in percentage share, OpenAI's service did not see its audience decrease; the same report indicates that ChatGPT's multi-platform audience grew from 59 million to 99 million between June 2025 and June 2026.

Given this competitive scenario, Comscore advises companies to adopt a comprehensive view of the market in their operational strategies, instead of focusing solely on a single solution. Smriti Sharma, Director of Analysis and Technology at Comscore, emphasizes that, with the intensification of the dispute between AI assistants and the redistribution of requests among platforms, brands, and publishers, one can no longer assume that a single AI experience defines the market.

Mirziyoyev inspected cotton cultivation technology from Xinjiang in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the Oltinkul Agrocluster on September 23 to examine the application of technologies developed in Xinjiang for cotton cultivation. According to a statement from the President of Uzbekistan's press service, the new approach is capable of roughly doubling cotton yields: from the traditional 30–35 centners per hectare to 60–70 centners per hectare.

The development of modern agricultural technologies, increasing production efficiency, and implementing scientific achievements are priorities in this sector. The legal basis for expanding measures to increase cotton and grain yields was established by a presidential decree dated December 9, 2025.

The total area of cultivated land at the Oltinkul Agrocluster is 850 hectares, with the Xinjiang method being applied to 23 hectares of cotton fields.

According to this technology, cotton seeds are sown in two rows under plastic film. This method helps maintain stable soil temperature and humidity, allowing seeds to germinate more evenly and earlier.

In combination with drip irrigation and fertilization systems, the technology ensures direct delivery of water and nutrients to the plant roots. This leads to reduced resource consumption: water savings reach 40%, and fertilizer savings reach almost 30%.

The technology also accelerates the harvesting process. Thanks to the favorable microclimate under the film, cotton ripens 10–15 days earlier than in fields using traditional farming methods.

A significant part of the agricultural work at the enterprise is carried out using agricultural drones. This reduces the need for specialized equipment and helps lower fuel consumption.

The head of state was presented with the results of this project, its economic efficiency, and plans for further expansion of the use of Xinjiang technologies in cotton farming.

He also pointed out persistent obstacles along the route that require practical solutions, and highlighted the Ministry of Transport's focus on the importance of direct dialogue with businesses to determine necessary measures.

Toivo Klaar stressed the strategic importance of TITR within the Global Gateway initiative and confirmed the European Union's support for infrastructure development and ensuring 'soft' connectivity.

For his part, Neil McCain stated that market participants require not only an increase in infrastructure capacity. He also considers effective coordination, transport predictability, and competitive logistics services to be necessary.

During thematic working groups, business representatives and other stakeholders examined the main barriers that still exist along the TITR. Following discussions, participants developed concrete proposals to eliminate these obstacles and implement the required reforms.
