Gee Sammy, I think there are all the tricks that cis-females usewith the various foundation garments, including padded girdles and bras. I certainly need a little help up top to get that curvy look.

Curves rock, Exercise helps me, I do it almost daily, walking a brisk 5 miles (6 days / week) and my core training (3 days / week) really helps, most genentic males have a hard time in the middle and lack of hips. The exercises in this video below, really work their magic, it takes dedication however no tricks, this won't happen overnight, but the results make you feel so good, it's a win win. Beer bellies just don't cut it, no matter how much padding you might try and use :)

In the clothes catagory, I like to wear tops or dresses that are trim at the waist and flare out at the hips to emphasize the difference. Also many foundation garments, girdles, body suits and the like are available. I have used a high waist girdle at times to get that extra inch or so squeezed in for certain looks.

Cynthia, thank you so much for the video! I exercise fairly regularly, but could not figure out what to do to get a more feminine figure. I'll now be updating my regimen!

Wish I could find the video, it's on YouTube somewhere, but it seemed to have a very good trick to add curves to hips. It involved like three layers of underwear, I'm pretty sure one must have been a slimmer.

Another thing to consider is hula hoop training. I always loved hula hoops when I was kid, I got pretty good at it back then. I think I want add a "Betty Hoop" to my training, that's where I'm going next for fun and curve amplification !!

I think I have tried it all...foam padding, corsets, girdles, herbal remedies, excercise...In the end - and like many women - I am just not that curvy and likely never will be.

Accessories are key! Wear things that accentuate the thinnest parts if your body. Belts, sashes, bracelets, necklaces, chokers, spartan sandles, etc. There is a whole category of clothing meant to accentuate, make big parts look bigger, and small parts smaller. Patterns like stripes in horizontal put in the right areas have amazing effects! Vertical pinstripes on pants can make your legs look curvier, longer, thinner, etc all depending on the color.

Go shop! Experiment!

I kind of think that that is a good way of looking at things. Not all GGs have a nice curvy body, so I try to be happy with what I have. I enjoy doing side-to-side hip movements because it feels like I'm stretching something, but since I just started CG'ing only recently, only time will tell if it really helps my hips. In the meantime, at least I'm stretching out muscles and being happier!

I look like a stranded baleen whale most of the time, but a simple waist-cincher corset works wonders. I have a favourite plain nylon under-bust one (not a fancy corset) and when I first wore it I though: "wow! I have hips!" Skirts and jeans just fell neatly into place! The nice thing is, such a corset is on the market for genuine ladies so I'm gaining some curviness using the clothes that I want. And I don't have to over-tighten. I can recommend them.

I don't know if it'll work for everyone, but since I started to CD 3 months ago, I've started to move the waistband of my male clothing above my hips so that there's less pressure on the hips and I do a lot of side-to-side stretching everyday. The other thing I like to do is use my hands to push and pull at my lower abdominal areas and hip area to see how it looks and see how it feels. I think I have a much better understanding of my own body by feeling which muscles contribute to certain shapes and sometimes I do this when I'm laying in bed or even walking to the loo.

I've also lost a lot of weight and I like the results. Since a lot of males tend to accumulate fat in the abdominal area because of T, this can really be a downer to looking curvy, so I think that losing weight is a good healthy goal for me.

love,

My "Female Waist" is about 4 inches above my male waist. Accent with a belt or even a scarf tied two inches above your belly button, and you get some virtual hip width.

Get ready for this, but there are some female fashions cut for women who are built more like guys. Lane Bryant is a frequent source of slacks for me, and one cut is for women whose hips and waist are closer in size, and just the seam styling gives my hips a wider look. I never wore jeans as a male, but I am becoming a convert.

The suggestion for the Veronica foundation is great, but they are EXPENSIVE. and your best bet is to go to one of the TG conferences where Espy Lopez who owns the company that makes them is doing fittings and pre order work for you. For you Eastern U.S, types, First Event will be going on in Boston at the end of this month (January). They will have vendors that can help you out with all sorts of great stuff. http://www.firstevent.org/

I think the keys are diet and (groan) exercise followed by a firm control pantie girdle (not a corset). These panties help to bring the lower stomach in and combined with D&E will help. You'll also feel better by shedding those extra pounds that all males seem to add to the waist. A pair of push up panties can also help, they push your bum up by the way, so you can them ask, "Does my bum look big in these?"

      Thanks Davie! And don’t worry, I didn’t take it that way. It’s just such a big topic I can only hope to tackle it one bit at a time.

      This is not uncommon.  I started out going to the therapist in androgynous clothing: from the women's department, but plausibly masculine.  What made it easier was when I started going to a trans peer support group.  Most of the people there were presenting fully feminine, so I looked out of place in my androgynous clothing.  The peer pressure made it easier to dress in skirts.   I started out changing in a gender-neutral bathroom near the meeting room.  But I soon started wearing skirts in the car to and from the meetings.   Yes, it was nerve-wracking at first, but I soon realized that no one was looking and no one cared.    You can do this.

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care.

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.
