Things I Never Thought

[Dudewithboobs]

As changes over last couple of years took place I was thinking today while shopping on Amazon for some new dress pants and jeans. And thought to myself, I never thought I’d know this for myself. 

Women’s Jeans and Slacks: Boyfriend  or Straight cut and size 14 Long
Bra size 34C
Sports bra/Lounge Bra/Tank Shelf bra size Large
Panty size: 6
Application of liners 
Blouses always size up 

Not to over share. Just never when I was 34 did I think at 39 would I know my sizes in women’s clothing to better accommodate the shifts my body has gone through for better fit, comfort and style. 

It took about a year to feel ok as a man walking around in these things. Consistently feeling insecure and anxiety ridden of who can see what if they can tell how do I explain etc. but overtime it’s just become standard dressing. No one has said a thing or seemed to notice and it’s been an unexpected but not unenjoyable change

how do you explain to your wife that you wear women's clothes my wife understands the bra but panties not so much.

[Dudewithboobs]

We do our own laundry she doesn’t see them. It’s underwear I don’t feel the need to disclose what underwear I’m wearing. To me it’s just underwear. If it was more than that I’d mention it to not hide some other purpose of it. If it was noticed I’d just explain I wear male style of them and always had and as time has gone I found them to be very uncomfortable and tried these and as a result stuck with them.

my wife knows about my panties but still says its weird thanks for your answer.

The panty thing is just so weird. I mean it’s just underwear. Jockey makes underwear for men and women. One is called Elance, both for men and women. One style elance for men has a pouch with that seam in the middle to make the pouch and another elance style without the seam. They are just like the womens elance bikini panty except a little larger gusset.
I wear women’s panties at the suggestion from my wife. I have a big butt with a smaller waist. They just fit better. Some of us are shaped like women, as well as some women are shaped like men. I also wear women’s wrangler boot cut jeans for the same reason. I also wear bras because I’m a healthy 38B/C bust. I also wear women’s boots because it is really hard to find B width boots anymore. I wear 10 1/2 women’s medium width which is a B width in men’s. 
Yes I’m a crossdresser because of the fit. My handle is 50/50 because I get called ma’am 50% of the time and I don’t even try to look like a woman. My physical appearance is not masculine.
How i wished when I was younger to grow chest hair, facial hair and even some leg hair. Never happened. My wife chose me and accepts me for who I am. Been together for 46 years.
And for that masculinity……….I’m cattle rancher in one of the western states.

That made me smile... Again, as I mention elsewhere... on a crossdressing site the question was asked "how many public service officers wear panties beneath their uniform" and ten said yes.  We really have NO idea how the folks around us live their lives. We get small glimpses here but we're only scratching the surface.  We all pretend to be "normal" so folks won't judge us... but behind closed doors and with our most intimate partners the world changes, often dramatically.  I didn't even know what "pegging" is until folks here explained it to me.  Okay!

As the saying goes... different strokes for different folks. For most of my life I judged my peculiarities but I've been learning how to be more accepting of myself and my proclivities.  Wearing a brassiere from time to time is one of them and my fantasy life is rich.  Hanging out on this website from time to time, occasionally sharing a photo of this or that brassiere... is pure pleasure.  Thanks to everyone willing to step forward and talk about breasts and brassieres and other garments found across the aisle.

I try to be careful of what i say on this site because i don't want to offend anyone or put out tmi .

Say what you feel. That’s what this side of the forum is for. I don’t think you will offend anyone👍. Certainly not me.

This is the acceptance section of this forum. At least here should nobody judge others for what they do as long as it goes with the law. 

[Dudewithboobs]

Agreed. And I’ve said it before and will again, looking at the details of the acceptance side of the forum of details about what each sub section is; indicates the moderators knew that men who accept will have a definitive more feminine viewing of their chests and clothing options due to things. 
I don’t think anyone here is offending anyone regarding their views or opinions. Long as it stays in the lanes of honest input and not thrill seeking of sorts it’s fine. I have yet to see anyone here who regularly contributed who may be offending anyone.

After having done actual measurements of my body and seeing that i do have a shorter crotch to waist ratio, and discovered I have a ~17 degree anterior pelvic tilt and deeply curved lumbar, that women's pants fit WAY better than any men's I ever wore. 

for the record: Mid rise, boot cut myself.   They just FIT the image. Not a big fan of skinny jeans, but I do like leggings as well. 

But yes to the point of thinking like that where 5 years ago I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair.  

But hell, I discovered that keeping a "purse" in the car to hold the keys, and all misc. items, well.. women are on to something there.

My wife bought me a purse a couple of years ago. I was forever looking for things I misplaced and got cranky about it. Now everything is in that bag. It took me awhile to get used to putting things in it. But now everything I need for everyday use is in that purse. Made life much easier for me.

[Justagirl💃]

I have carried a purse for decades (even in boy-mode). 

Working in engineering/landsurveying I just needed a place to keep my calculator and such. 

Coworkers asked me about it and I explained why, then everyone started carrying one at work.

Borrowing from the women's section can help men a lot. In fact it was my wife who suggested that I wear panty liners to keep my underwear free from urine. In my case post-void dribbling started 20 years ago at the age of 45. I have worn panty liners on a daily basis since that time. Some years ago I had to change to larger incontinence pads.

I've used women's panty liners from the beginning and now use women's pads. They are cheaper than men's pads.

i mentioned post-void dribbling to a dr. and all he said was that's normal and went onto something else.
