Well yes we worry about the “thing” being hidden too.  Lol

I've found that for my 32" waist and my 130-140ish weight not being well endowed thank good a 6 fits me well, and a 7 work well. 5 would be too small, and 8 would be falling off of me inside my pants or leggings.  One of the things I discovered about panties is that they tend to fall down even in pants or leggings. I had never understood why girls were pulling up their pants. That was until I started transitioning almost 5 years and wearing panties. I was like Holy Cow! Being very smooth for a male born female, it was very eye opening. There was a day when I worked a 1/2 of a shift at work with my panties almost in my pant legs. Now I understand, we're not pulling up our pants, but pulling up our underwear in them.  I also wear a nylon pull over bra, which goes by S, M, L, and XL sizes instead of numbers which is helpful.

Also just FYI  I am ordering off Amazon so trying on is a bit tough.  Lol

You might try ordering off ebay or AliExpress until you find your size. Some are under two bucks. I'm wearing Hanes at the moment, bought from ebay in a package of six for about one-fifty each.

Since this post I have learned some of my sizes.   Size 6 in panties.  I was lucky ordering from Amazon. I ordered a size 8 but my wife told me they would be to big.  Exchanged before they shipped for the size 6 and they were perfect.  
Still having to try things everything else on when in the stores. But have not gotten much.  Some Old Navy leggings and fleece pants too. Size 42 clogs and boots.

I had to look that up. Euro sizes. Also, dammit you've got tiny feet too. SO jealous. You can shop in the stores for humans.

 

Hugs!

This has been a welcome change for me since starting HRT.  I was size 11W or 11.5 in most ladies shoes just 15 mos ago.  I had a difficult time finding any selection in my size.  Since then, I’ve lost weight and the E has shrunk my feet down to size 9.5.  Now most local shoe places carry a good selection in my size.  What a difference a size or two can make.

I find it hard to find things.  I’m at the largest size they carry or just over it.  
I am at the point where I’m big for a girl but small for a guy.

I have bought my first pair of shoes, just some black ballet flats, size 13. Haven’t had a chance to wear the new shoes yet. My wife is going away for a couple of days, so I’ll be breaking them in at home for the next couple of evenings. 

 

I don’t know why anything over a ladies 10 and they start turning into ugly utilitarian footwear. Why can’t they make cute shoes or boots in bigger sizes, without having to shop at drag stores for massive platforms or stilettos?  Nothing wrong with them, just not my style. I’m more of a flat or a low heel bootie or pump kinda gal.

Totally agree.  It hard to find anything cute.  I like to try things on and then go look online for the better price.  Its tough when everything is to small to try on.

OMG this. I'm a women's size 13 so sometimes I can find internet returns in my size. They're all ugly as hell.

 

I've been shopping at Long Tall Sally and they've been pretty good to me. I've got a pair of low boots I absolutely love along with some casual shoes and a couple of dressy pairs (the party shoes hurt the hell out of my feet though).

 

Hugs!

Great tip Jackie. Thank you!

 

I'm about over finding cute shoes only to find they are snowshoes or water skis in my size.
