Containing The Excitement

Ladies:

I will ask you all to think back to when you first started hormones and the rush of feelings and excitement that race through your mind. The first number of weeks really nothing was happening; the last week or so some tingling in the nipple area but the last few days my skin has absolutely gotten soft.

I keep rubbing my arms and hands to see if it real, and it is - My skin is much muhc softer. I have to wait about a half year or so before I can jump out into the world as a woman, but I am hoping the physical changes will be well on their way and I am SO excited about the upcoming changes and can only hope that the fat redistribution, the breast and areola/nipple growth and the mental changes are well on the way.

I have never been so in tune with my mnd and body and I can begin to imagine how wonderful and different a bath will feel; I have been a shower type of person in the past. Has anyone else started to enjoy bathing more often as opposed to showers?

I enjoy reading the stories and experiences and I am learning so much from all of you and thanks for everything!

oooo hot bubbly bath nothing like it to sooth the soul. In the nearly 4 months Ive been on hormones my skin has softened beautifully, the hairs have started softening and lightening out, I seem to be one of the lucky ones since it has nearly clobbered my beard growth (YMMV on this). The scales say I am putting on weight but I can't for the life of me see where. Now if I could loose this cycle my body is setting up id be fine

I love a long hot relaxing bath,showers are for when I have some place I must be.

And new sister,Welcome to your womanhood and the journey of your lifetime.

Yes our skin gets baby soft and freaks out those who knew the old us that it has

become so girlishly soft.I am Angie,in transition thirty months today...yay.

Wait until those womens arms start coming,and that wonderfully hairless body.

You have a lot to look forward to on this magical long journey,as the changes

keep slowly but steadily happening.

Big Soft Hugs Paula,

Angie

Oh my....

Welcome to womanhood, Honey...

I'm 9 months in and it's all happened to me , too....

Soft skin is the thing that I REALLY like (breasts are great, too, but......)

And taking care of it is paramount!

It cuts/tears so easy now....

So, long hot bathtub soaks are in order followed by a nice fragrant lotion!

Yes... that skin is soft now...I love it!

Huggs!

My favorite scent is Lavender.I use it with my liquid soap and body lotion.

Mmmmmm so feminine.I lotion immediately after bathing,while my body

is still damp.My skin absorbs it so easily and I feel so silky soft and fragrant.

I love being a girl,truly I do.

Angie......

I tend to have dry skin and here in the north, winter plays helll with it. The dry air from the furnaces and such...

I use a product from Melalauca called "Renew"...

It's silky smooth and has a pleasent smell that doesn't clash with your perfume...

Kinda pricy, though..$20 for 20oz......

But after a shower or bath it is wonderful!

Stay soft, Honey!

That's the one thing I don't like about larry and my new apartment, just a shower. Because our place is designed for the disabled a roll in shower is what we got stuck with. I miss my bubble baths as well as long soaks in dead sea salts for healing some of my skin aliments.

All this talk about baths is making me want to go home and soak in a nice warm tub!

I'm not on hormones, but I've found after showering and shaving, putting Aveno moisturizer on my arms, legs (partially shaved) and shaved middle parts feels awesome! I get a nice softness that last almost all day! It got a little tough when I was shaving my underarms. I use mineral salts instead of anti persperant and it stung a bit. So I use baby powder on my underarms and the middle parts.

Any alternatives for delicate areas?

      Same here.  My mind is a jumbled mess.  I'm no great philosopher, nor particularly educated.  Don't open my brain's closet, as all the junk might come tumbling out.

      Its been a long day.  I had a good trip with my husband, kind of sorry I had to come home.  I mean, I love my partners, but I feel overwhelmed by the chaos at times.  It was nice being able to just drive and talk for two days, and not feel rushed at meals.  Stopped at a buffet off I-40 in Oklahoma, and I was able to nibble comfortably for two hours!  And taking a shower in a place where I don't have to bother hanging up the towels for later   Its all about the little things....

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      Did go in my shop and fix my truck,new front brakes.I got that done before it got worse.Luckily I did not drive it when it first started.Drove my car to work instead

      Hey @KayC I need another tutorial session on this place with you.  Maybe we can talk on Discord or the phone and I can share my screen and do a few messages while Asking you some questions about how this place is organized. How are you doing in the real world?? ... "real world" ???  What is this "real world" of which you speak?
    • Michelle_S
      @VickySGV Ha!  Finally figured THAT out!  Though I hate to confess just how long it took me to figure out WHERE to begin typing that "@" sign.  (So I just won't confess it!  ... giggles) I am not sure how private this message to you is ... for example I was going to make a guess about your location (you say near a major earthquake fault) and while there are many places in CA which fit that description, I live near one as well. But I am not sure if being asked that in a public forum is something you want, and I don't know if I am talking publicly or privately right now.  (So, obviously, till I learn what is what, I treat EVERYTHING as public). I think Kay might have already told me about the "@" sign but I forgot ... Guess I have blonde roots ... (I'm actually a Brunette ... Grey but the box keeps me a brunette ... still the number of mistakes I make and how slow I am with learning things constantly reminds me that I must be blonde on the inside!!  ... giggles)

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow

      To me loving myself means having the courage to live the way I want and to be me.     I hardly ever really like how I look but I feel good knowing I am trying to be the best version of myself that I can be. It is definitely a struggle sometimes though.  💗Cynthia

      I had a five hour road trip today.  I’m trying to grow my hair out so I just pushed it back with a pink hair band, lipstick and gloss, no makeup.    White spaghetti strap top, short black skirt, white sandals with pink toenails!  A couple of rings and bracelets, necklace and hoop earrings.   I felt like a hot mess but it’s my favorite way to travel!  
    • KymmieL
      Glad you had a good day, @Willow Mine on the other hand sucked. I have been screwing up again, I even got written up. I may have to educate them on major depression and disability. not that it will work.    OH, well. May be another job I lost because of me. Yes, my depression is about down at the magma level   Kym

      This bag is really working out for me.  I had worn out the back on my yin-yang bag so I picked this one up.  It wasn't long before I cut off the flap on it and braided a hemp strap for it.  The zipper is the best feature.  I can spin the bag around and I'm not afraid of losing anything.  I've taught myself to keep all the essential things in it and nothing more.  Here is what made the cut:   Notepad Sharpie Ballpoint Pen Teaspoon Glasses Phone (most of the time) Wired Headphones and/or Bluetooth Carmex and/or Lipstick Flash Drive Current Braiding Project Wallet Hair Clip   And on my keys I have my one inch Swiss Army Knife with scissors and a bottle opener that I like using with mason jar lids.   I don't miss pockets at all now.  The bag is fun and practical.  I can set it on the ground to get everything off my body.  If I need something, I'm looking for a fairly large object.  I always have something to work on with the braiding project.
