Female Latex Mask


Guest Diana Prince

As I have posted a few times in the past, I am not really interested in shaving my facial hair, or even in wearing makeup for that matter. However, I have considered getting one of those female latex masks to help make the image more "complete" when I am dressed up. That doesn't seem to fit the norm here from what I have seen, but I am curious to see if anyone else has considered that before... or maybe even gotten one and tried it. I am sure it probably isn't very comfortable, but I am never dressed up for very long stretches of time anyway. The major downside is that they are extremely expensive. I was trying to find a cheaper way to simply get a latex covering for my face to cover over my beard and moustache and then I could do the makeup, etc... however, I couldn't find anything. Then I figured it would probably just be easier to just get a mask that is already painted on. They look kind of freaky, but not as freaky as my manly face while wearing female clothes!

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

I've seen those on the internet. I always felt they were just a prop. I didn't want to spend the money. The beard and moustache - all I can say is it needs to go, if you are serious about showning feminine in the mirror.

But I am not a CDer anymore - and I guess I never was. I will and have sacrified everything to be a woman, so I guess I am not able to give advice anymore.

A full face latex mask makes you look like you are in disguise - I would not go anywhere near a bank, jewelry store or convenience store while wearing one.

If you are determined to keep the facial hair, you might look into theatrical prosthetics - they make small patches of latex - chins and the like for actors and you glue them on with a special glue that can be dissolved rather than pulling the hair out - it is a little more natural looking once you learn how to blend them in but many times they do not survive repeated use so the cost again is very high.

Lizzy has it right if you want to look female the hair needs to go.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Diana,

I don't think there is a norm here. We are all different in unique ways and everyone is welcome here. What is normal anyway?

I have never used a latex mask but if you feel comfortable dressing the way you have been then I personally wouldn't bother. You are dressing for you own needs no-one elses.

Good luck with the latex hunting.

I've seen some pretty life like ones on female mask sites. It would seem to me that if a person was disfigured, or had facial hair that one of these masks would help achieve a more pleasing look. They probably would not pass in public tho. I personally always wanted to try one but, they are expensive and ordering one presents a problem as SO is not a fan.

I found one I really liked, and was hoping I could win it on eBay for under $100.... I not only lost the auction, but it ended up selling for near $250! I am a pretty crafty person, so I am considering experimenting with making some things out of latex. I am already starting to sew my own skirts, do chainmail (the metal kind), and I am about to start leatherworking. So what is adding one more thing? Can't be too hard can it? (Famous last words)

um. there's a norm here? Really? I know I certainly don't fit any norm that I can figure out.

I do think I've seen those masks, too, fortunately I have light body hair, (tho as I age it's sadly increasing) and I would not really consider it for myself. Now laser hair removal, I would consider in places.

But, I do believe pretty much in doing whatever you feel makes you feel better about yourself. Masks or laser or makeup or just single pieces of clothing. We're individuals, and we each have our own desires. If you do try the latex route, Diana, please let us know how it works for you.

Many thanks for the encouraging words Chloë. I know they are not an option for public use, but I never dress in public and have no plans/desire to do so. The only thing that I wanted to solve with the mask was when I am at home and I pass by the mirror and I see my face and beard and .. well... it looks really bad. :) I thought this was anohter way to "mask" that aspect so in the mirror it looked "more right" if that makes any sense at all. Plus I would be able to try this wig I have that simply will NOT do with my facial hair... :)

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
