What do you do to feel Feminine

I was certain I had seen a similiar topic, but I just cold not find it. I hope no one minds me starting anew. Any ways outside of my lingrie, jewelery, clothes, and heels I have discovered something that I like also. I have started to use a Feminine Wash when I take a shower. I use it head to toe plus I wash my hair with it. It has just the right amount of fragrancce to it. It is really refreshing and makes me feal so feminine when I get a faint smell of it. The kind I use is from Wally World. Its their brand and its called Equate Feminine Wash. The fragrance is Soft Petal. I would recommed that you try this because for me it makes me feel intimatley feminine. Love to all Amber L.

Personal fragrance needs to be a very PERSONAL thing, and if you are pre or early HRT, its going to change a bit, because your underlying body scent can make it smell funny to other people. Just a caution. I am not really sure any more of what makes me feel most feminine, but then again, I am at a different part of the trip on it. I do really like having my hair done every 5 weeks, and get a good puppy wriggle when I see myself in the salon mirror with no gray roots.

Amber I will have to try that feminine wash at least for the fragrance sake. I am very much drawn to smells that are attributed to females. I wash everyday with Olay Moisturizing Body Wash with Jojoba Butter and Crushed orchid extract, mmmm it makes me feel and smell so feminine. I use Suave body lotion, L'Oreal collagen facial cream, sometimes I paint my toe nails during the work week, I keep my total body shaved with Nair hair removal, arch my eyebrows, and of course I wear panties everyday.

On a daily, out and about basis, my thing is bracelets, bangles and jewellery. I can hide a necklace that's very feminine under my regular shirt at work and do so all the time! At home, and out and about I wear bangles or bracelets, too. Right now I've a lovely Sears & Roebuck plate silver hinged snake bangle where the snake heads meet at the closure. I wear this and it always gives me that little feminine boost. It's not outrageously big, but it's big enough to be a bit non-male. I've loads of bangles, and most are virtually OK for drab mode but I always push the limit a little! In the cooler months I always under-dress in hold-up stockings and satin camisole. I don't wear knickers due to a varicocele problem.

Finally, I always moisturise my face and hands regularly, even at work. It has drawn the odd comment but I don't care. I like my skin to feel soft and smooth.

Hi Amber,

Recently switching to a nice small purse instead of a wallet :) Constantly pushing my boundaries :)

Have two women's full purses. One black and one brown. Considering a white purse to match some white open toe sandals, two inch heels I found at K Mart. I carry a purse in drab all the time, no one seems to care. So many men carrying some kind of bag over their shoulder now days, for laptops or items to large to put in pockets.

Hi Amber,

You nailed it :) I too have discovered that scent contributes the most to me feeling feminine.

I typically use a body mist that not as strong as perfume and not nearly as expensive.

For me a few sprays of body mist is the right balance, not too strong, not too weak, just right :)

Love

Brenda

For me, A nice bubble bath, dressing feminine, and being here does the trick quite nicely.

Otter and Janet - purses! Yes! I agree. I have a wonderful clutch bag / purse in my work bag that I use all the time. It's a fantastic fuchsia pink fabric wrap-around and is easy to pop open when reaching into my work bag. No-one can see it but that's where I keep my goodies. Inside I keep a Ciccia purse for my coins.

I love to sing along to some of my favourite singer s when I am dressed as Roberta. The Carpenters greatest hits is always on my playlist and I enjoy singing along in a female voice and my admire my reflection in the mirror. Not that I think my reflection is wonderful but I feel so much like a Woman when I sing along to girly tracks.

Hi all,

I am definitely an addict of the bath, bubbles and candle approach. Allied to the right music to suit the mood, perhaps a glass of wine...... hey this is my late afternoon coffee break (what we used to call Cafe & kuchen time when I was in Munich!) not finishing time Michelle.... You've had your pamper at the Gym n Swim this morning! Sorry girls I am having a ball in this wonderful playground, and am prone to getting carried away with erm.... enthusiasm, exuberance, joy de vie! so I can come across rather like a Labrador puppy at times!

But if anything does it for me it is definitely the pamper bubble baths and smellies! Oh, word to the wise do not switch on the jacuzzi when using bubble bath! .... now that was an experience! I had trouble finding the doorway out!

LOL That must have been a sight to see, or not be able to see as the case may be. Hope you learned your lesson. ;)

Also, I would like to add, on top of the stuff I had already mentioned in an earlier post, a new feminine experience is to totally nair my legs and arms. That baby smooth feeling really makes things better. Now to just invest in some Nair bikini.

I use feminine body wash, hair care products, shave my legs and arms, plus paint my toe nails. The smell of womens fragrances is wonderful and there's such a huge selection. I love it!

Oh I totally agree on that!! I bought two set of satin duvets, pillow cases and sheets a couple of years back, much to my wife's surprise. Is there anything better? Those and satin PJs? Or a long satin nightie? Fantastic! The only downside is when it gets hot or humid, and then it becomes a sticky nightmare...

For me it is TOTAL body hair removal from the eyebrows down, exfoliation and moisturizing and microfiber panties whenever I think I can get away with it. Just the feel of my jeans against my smooth legs and coping an occasional feel of my smooth hairless arms during the hot busy day on a construction site helps me stay in touch with my feminine side.

Hugs,

Linda Kay

If we are breaking it down to the bare minimum, high heels and/or femenin fragrence. I just went in Bath and Body Works yesterday with my wife and bought a nice body spray on sale for $3. If she only just how giddy I was inside.

SHOPPING!!! I love to shop for bras and panties, jewelry - silver is my favorite, buying flowers for myself - I never did that before, and any other type of feminine shopping. In a couple weeks I am going to a hair dresser for the first time and have my nails done also - that should be fun and exciting - cannot wait! And getting my first HRT shot last week made me feel very, very feminine and relaxed that I am finally on my journey to womanhood.

All of the above made feel very feminine!

Many hugs and best wishes to all!

Hi! I have my brows shaped and waxed at a salon; get a pedicure and have my toe nails painted with a subtle pinkish-rose; and then on regular basis [nightly], I put on my nightgown and face cream. It really does make me feel feminine.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
    • JenniferB
      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer

      The source of estrogen can matter. I started HRT at age 50. My avatar was the result. I started on pills, and moved to estradiol valerate injectables. However, there was a shortage, and I had to use a compounding pharmacy. The estradiol would evaporate in the vial, and couldn't get 5 doses out of it. I eventually move to the patch.    Over time I realized the patch wasn't working properly. And, the last time I visited my doctor he told me my estrogen levels were low. He asked me if I wanted to change to estradiol valerate. I jumped for joy. So I started my script for estradiol valerate. My prescription was ready, but I didn't receive my script for needles for a couple of weeks. So I bought my own (legal). I started with intramuscular injections. This requires a longer needle, and the estrogen is released into the muscles. It has a powerful effect right away but isn't stable. So by the time I took my next injection 2 weeks later, the estradiol in my bloodstream was almost gone. When I finally received my script for my needles, the needle was shorter. So the injection was subcutaneous. What is different with this type of injection as that the estrogen released is more even over 2 weeks (before the next injection). Interesting the syringe/needles my doctor prescribed are so much higher in quality. I am going to follow his path. My breasts are now perky again. And I will let my doctor guide me.    I wish you success on your journey. Let us know how things are proceeding. I am happy for you.   Jennifer

      Patches are the HRT method of least risk. Be aware of your estrogen levels with bloodwork. My doctor took me off patches because my estrogen levels were low. And put me on estradiol valerate injections. I have to say that made a big difference. Be aware of the changes. I don't know your age, or circumstances, but I would research available options of administering hormones.    There are other methods of taking estrogen, and you should research all of them. When my doctor changed my prescription to estradiol valerate amazing things happened. He was slow to prescribe the needles so I ordered them online. I have used injectables before. Getting the nerve to poke myself with the needle was a great hurdle to overcome.   As far as a rollercoaster feeling, I never felt that as much as the excitement of finally starting HRT. That overrode everything. I couldn't focus on how my emotions changed, for excitement trumped all emotions. Let the emotions of starting HRT settle, then make the decisions you feel will best benefit you.    Good luck with your journey,   Jennifer
