Harrington began the blog Stockings Addict to write primarily about stockings in 2008. She was inspired to begin the site after she had difficulty finding reviews or recommendations of lingerie on the internet. She later changed the name of the blog to The Lingerie Addict and broadened the writing to focus on all intimate apparel. In 2012, Harrington transitioned to working on the website full-time from her nonprofit job as a crisis line worker.
