All Things Worn, a diverse portfolio of online marketplaces and communities dedicated to connecting buyers and sellers of preloved, well-worn items and kink-friendly custom content, just launched 50 new fetish communities. These micro- kinks, as ATW calls them, are ultra-specific kink niches, featuring such interests as latex, used sex toys, worn panties, and seem to be grabbing more clicks than mainstream adult content.
ATW also has a https://www.usedsextoysonly.com/ for people interested in buying used sex toys.
Below, Natalia Baker, the ATW Head of Marketing, talks about micro-sites, what they mean to content producers as well as audiences, and modern-day fetish pursuits.
What makes something a ‘micro-kink?’
A micro-kink is really just a super-specific desire or interest that lives inside a broader fetish category. Instead of “domination,” it might be financial domination, being “sissified,” or consensual blackmail dynamics.
The more specific the kink, the more passionate and loyal the audience tends to be.
Micro-kinks aren’t new, but we’re finally giving them their own homes instead of lumping everything under one giant fetish umbrella.
How did you come up with so many?
We analyzed millions of searches, tags, listing behaviors, custom requests, and buyer messaging patterns across the ATW ecosystem and the broader internet.
What emerged was a clear pattern: people weren’t just looking for “fetish content.”
They were asking for very particular things, sometimes so specific that they didn’t cleanly fit into traditional fetish categories.
You claim that smaller niche communities outperform traditional adult platforms. Do you have numbers?
Yes — and these insights come directly from our own platform data across millions of searches, messages, and purchases.
Within our micro-kink communities, it breaks down: Engagement is 2–3x higher compared to broader, general fetish categories. Repeat spending is 40–70% stronger, depending on the niche. Members spend significantly more time on creator profiles and send more messages because these smaller spaces feel personal, specific, and non-judgmental/non-transactional.
When people find content that feels made for them, they don’t just visit once. They stick around, interact more deeply, and keep coming back. That’s the power of Hyper-specificity.
How did All Things Worn start, and what does it do?
ATW began as a small, independent marketplace for buying and selling worn items— panties, socks, lingerie, and other fetish-friendly goods. It grew because people wanted a safe, anonymous, community-driven place to explore kinks without judgment. Today, ATW is the world’s most trusted kink-friendly marketplace and creator platform. We connect creators and buyers, support anonymous selling, offer messaging tools, and highlight underrepresented niches that mainstream platforms ignore. We’re basically the anti-corporate adult platform — community-led, fetish-positive, and creator-first.
Our team is small, but we pride ourselves on 24/7 creator and buyer support and are always adding upgrades and features to our site when our community shares a need for a new tool. We’re constantly evolving to improve the overall experience of our communities and marketplaces.
What’s happening in the New Year for All Things Worn?
We are going to AVN as an exhibitor. We’ll have lots of merch, giveaways, and opportunities to partner with content creators for paid collabs.
