In the ever-evolving world of online content and niche markets, one woman has turned a truly unusual product into a six-figure side hustle — her toenails.
Latiesha Jones, a 24-year-old from the U.S., has made a jaw-dropping $80,000 in just seven months by selling her toenail clippings, spit, bathwater, and sweaty clothing — all through her online platforms. But the most shocking revelation? One buyer grinds her toenails into powder and uses them as seasoning… on his food.
Yes, you read that right.
From College Student to Six-Figure Earner
Latiesha, who was studying to become a doctor, turned to OnlyFans and part-time work at a strip club to help pay her way through school. It was during her club work that she was offered $270 for a pair of her used stockings — a moment that sparked a business idea most people would never consider.
She soon realized there was a lucrative, if bizarre, market for intimate personal items — especially those tied to fetishes and sensory experiences.
From there, her brand grew rapidly:
- A vial of her spit sells for over $2,000
- Her bathwater is bottled and sold
- Used socks, lingerie, and gym clothes are in high demand
- And her toenail clippings? Priced at hundreds of dollars per batch
She now earns an average of $6,700 per week — totaling over $80,000 in less than a year.
“He Grinds Them Up and Eats Them Like Salt”
In a candid interview with the Tea At Four podcast, Latiesha revealed the most disturbing use of her toenails — one that left even the hosts speechless.
“I sell my toenails, and this person who has them… he grinds them up and uses them as salt. He puts them on his food and eats it.”
While Latiesha admitted the practice sounds “disgusting,” she said she doesn’t dwell on it — as long as the money is good and the transaction is consensual.
She added:
“People are like, ‘You could get cloned!’ or ‘You could be framed for a crime!’ But I’m like, ‘You sell your clothes on Vinted or eBay — people are still getting a part of you. You might leave your sweat, your DNA, something you don’t even know.’”
Why Do People Buy This Stuff?
The demand for Latiesha’s products stems from a mix of fetishes, sensory cravings, and psychological fixations. Experts in human behavior say these niche markets often cater to:
- Podophilia (a foot fetish)
- Olfactophilia (arousal from scent)
- Vorarephilia (fantasies involving consumption — in this case, metaphorical or literal)
- Objectum sexuality (emotional or sexual attachment to inanimate objects)
For some buyers, it’s not just about the item — it’s about the intimacy, the connection, and the taboo.
And in the age of digital anonymity, these desires can be fulfilled with a few clicks — no judgment, just transactions.
The Ethics and Risks of Selling Body Byproducts
While Latiesha’s story is one of financial empowerment and entrepreneurial hustle, it also raises ethical and safety concerns:
- Privacy risks: Selling DNA-rich items (nails, spit, hair) could theoretically be used for genetic cloning or identity theft.
- Legal gray areas: While selling personal items isn’t illegal, the intended use of those items (like consuming human tissue) may cross legal or health code lines.
- Psychological impact: Normalizing extreme fetish markets could blur the line between consensual commerce and exploitation.
Latiesha remains unfazed:
“I’m not hurting anyone. I’m helping myself, and if someone gets joy or whatever from it, that’s on them.”
A New Era of Personal Monetization
Latiesha’s journey is a striking example of how the internet has transformed what we consider “sellable.”
From OnlyFans creators selling workout videos to influencers auctioning off used tissues, the personal body economy is booming.
And while many are quick to judge, others see it as a form of bodily autonomy and financial independence — especially for women who’ve long been excluded from traditional wealth-building paths.
Weird, Gross, or Just the Future?
Is it gross? Absolutely.
Is it strange? Undeniably.
But is it a reflection of where digital commerce is headed?
Possibly.
Latiesha didn’t invent the fetish market — she tapped into it with confidence, branding, and savvy marketing. And in doing so, she went from struggling student to homeowner with zero debt — all by selling parts of herself.
Love it or hate it, her story forces us to ask:
How far are we willing to go to monetize our bodies?
And where do we draw the line?
As for Latiesha?
She’s not looking back.
She’s too busy counting her $80,000 — one toenail at a time. 💅💰
