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?"

      Sorry to hear you lost both your parents young. My dad died from a heart attack when I was 10. My mom died a few years ago. I never came out, truly, to either of them, about my gender identity. On one hand it is freeing, not having to deal with “what would they think or feel about me now” but on the other hand, I wish they had truly known.

      This is fantastic, We're adding a Boxer to our family sometime this evening or tomorrow. His name is Parker. We'll be crate training him as well as introducing him to two cats that have never been around a dog.   Pictures to follow later,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I still don't understand how any queer people can vote for these people.  I'll just leave it at that.

      Thanks Kathy!    Some place where the peer pressure is to dress more feminine instead of less.  Imagine that. I haven't left the house in fem clothing since an outing to a local LGBT club over 15 years ago.   She's also pointed me to some support groups so that's next as well.     And for those who noticed, yes, I committed a rather egregious grammatical error in my post, but I couldn't figure out how to edit it.  That stuff bugs me to death. Geez Louise .

      Just more of the same.  Unfortunately, I'm coming to expect it.

      Everybody doesn't feel this way. As a AMAB child (in the 50's) I don't think I questioned my body, but I was quite fascinated with girl stuff.  When puberty hit I really wished I was a girl - but alas - I was stuck living as a guy.  As an adult I had pretty bad  homophobia, which was probably internalized transphobia, but I didn't really know what transgender was at the time.  And by then I was locked into a marriage and family. I lived like that for most of my life, and convinced myself (but not my wife) that I was happy.  When we were in our 60's, the marriage fell apart.  And I believe a large part of that was me resisting my feminine self.  When I no longer had to live up to being a man, I dared to take another peek inside, and my egg cracked big time. I still don't think I was "born in the wrong body."  Maybe it just needed a little tweaking. I think our "gender" is an internal thing.   I don't regret having lived so long trying to be a guy.  But if I could have transitioned as a child it would have been awesome.

      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I seem to remember the word "deplorables" being used not long ago.  Unfortunately so often appropriate.   Hugs,   Charlize

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
