A 24-year-old woman turned niche fetishes into an $80,000 business by selling her toenail clippings, saliva, and bathwater, sharing the shocking ways customers use her products and how she’s empowering others to join the trade.
Tanisha Carter, 24, has built a thriving side hustle selling her toenails, spit, and used bathwater, raking in $80,000 in just seven months. What began as a way to fund her medical studies has become a full-time venture, complete with a house purchase and debt freedom.
Tanisha’s journey started while juggling college and a job at a nightclub, where a customer offered $300 for her worn tights. The idea sparked a lightbulb moment. Soon, she was selling a small bottle of her saliva for $1,800 on platforms like OnlyFans, tapping into a lucrative fetish market.
Speaking on the Brew & Spill podcast, Tanisha shared that her top requests involve “anything feet-focused—socks, shoes, gym clothes, or lingerie.” Her weekly earnings hover around $6,500, driven by foot-related items. But her most jaw-dropping sale? Toenail clippings, which one buyer grinds into a powder to sprinkle on food like seasoning.
“They blend my toenails and use them like salt,” Tanisha revealed, unfazed. “It’s weird, but they pay well.”
On the UK’s Morning Blend show, Tanisha discussed mentoring women in the fetish community. “I’m showing them how to make money safely in a way they never considered,” she said. “It’s like helping patients, just not in a clinic. I’m opening doors for them.”
Her business hasn’t been without critics. Some warn about DNA misuse, like “cloning” or “crime framing.” Tanisha shrugs it off. “Selling clothes on Depop or Poshmark is the same risk,” she said. “You leave traces everywhere—sweat, skin. I don’t overthink it.”
Tanisha’s success let her drop out of college, buy a home, and clear her debts. “This niche changed my life,” she said. “I’m not judging what people want. I’m just meeting the demand.”
Her story shines a light on the wild world of fetish markets, where unconventional sales can lead to big rewards—and even bigger surprises.
