How long were you on hrt when you noticed your hips growing?

[Vicky]

Mine just kept growing older, like the rest of me, dammit.

Oh, this is a fun one as I was the only one who could not really see it...

At about month 6 of HRT, my partner snapped a picture of my on a table getting my ankle tattoo and DAMN.  Everyone who has seen the photo (including me) is like, whoa!  The development is obvious.



A few weeks after that, my endo was following me down the hall after my visit and stopped me to tell me that I was developing a "Beyonce"!  That pretty much was the point at which I would say everyone realized my hips and butt are girlie.

Women's jeans etc all now fit perfectly. Mind you some have very tiny front pockets .

I've got a couple pair of Womens jeans that fit great, some skinny and a couple low rise boot cut.  I've not started hormones yet so wondering what will happen there.  The one that said "curvy" didn't fit well so maybe that's what's in store.
Have noticed the tiny or non existent pockets.  It would be nice if the front pockets were just a tad bigger to hold my phone a little more secure. Not out far enough yet to carry a purse everywhere.

You will likely get redistribution once you start, but it can take a while.  I have found that I cannot wear a majority of jeans marketed to the male physique any longer.  They chafe and simply do not have any give in the fabric.  Another thing I have found is a particular cut, say Curvy Boot, in one brand and line can mean something very different in another brand under the same nomen.

My Lucky's are size 12 and fit perfectly around my butt and hips, where my Calvin Kleins are a 10 and are actually looser.  Both are boot cut, mid rise curvy styles.

There's a parlour game whereby you put a matchbox (or a lighter etc) on the floor, then kneel down with your hands behind your back and try to push the box with your nose, without using your hands and without losing your balance. Girls can do it, boys can't and it's purported to be because of the shape of one's buttocks.

Mmmmm,  I just tried that and found it really easy to do.  I wonder how much overall leanness and flexibility contribute beyond buttocks shape?

I have no trouble doing this, and I am pre-HRT.  I have a moderately cute butt for a body that is basically male at this point, but I doubt if that is a factor.

I tried on a pair of jeans that fit perfectly three months ago. I have not gained any weight in those three months but the butt area of my pants is growing much tighter than before. As to hips. I have always had like a shelf for hips. This came in handy with the kids as I carried the kids around ala woman style on my hips. Even when I was much heavier. I am still wearing my man jeans so there is no skosh more room. You can move it along somewhat by wearing a corset but it takes dedication to make that work.

I have heard woman can stand in front of a wall about four feet away, with feet spread. Think Frisk and search. Then this is where the nose comes in. Lean against the wall, using your nose as a landing spot. Place your hands behind your back and try to stand. Women can do it. Men cannot.

[Deborah]

Does it count if you break your nose doing it?

Um.  Before or after rhinoplasty?  Because I may have an advantage right now...

If you feel your nose is not up to it. You can use your forehead without much notice.

[Deborah]

I can do it from two feet away.  Four feet seems kind of extreme.  That would be 80% of the height of many CIS women.

Ideally injury should be avoided.


I should have mentioned the matchbox is placed in a special manner.

After kneeling, you're supposed to bring your arms together with your hands in a prayer position, touch your elbows to your knees and bend forwards until your arms are resting on the floor. Then someone else places the matchbox in front of you, where the tips of your fingers can just touch it.

Then you straighten up, bring your hands behind your back and try to tip the matchbox over.

Sorry I didn't explain all that before - I didn't realise people would actually try it. Also, it's damn hard describing the correct position

If you do it that way, it's not that easy and I've definitely watched plenty of guys failing hilariously and planting their nose in the floor (but then again, alcohol was involved).

Ok, that's a nice one. Unfortunately I can't try it as the floor in my room is leaning inside, towards the wall and quite a bit too.

Also, I have a fat head. I'm not using my poor nose to prop it up. No way XP

My hips, and short cut-offs I would never leave the house in, lol

I LOVE my Daisy's!  I walk around in them out all the time.  Enjoy showing off my legs and figure during the summer.  I swim the channels and walk my dock in my bikini, figure the shorts are fine.  My thighs have filled out since my friend snapped the picture and the shorts actually fit better now.



I thought I had drawn the line there, but then I found myself out on town in my old Dolfin's...and I realize I have no shame   My partner asked me if I was comfortable wearing them in as they were drawing attention from men who were checking me out.  Not sure I actually liked that, whether or not it is 'natural'.

Here is a picture when the hips started to become obvious to Heather and I both.  She snapped this shot on a warm summer eve.  She was trying to tell me what she saw, but the words were not working.



About 6 months in and things were starting to spread.  Now, at over a year I love my hips and butt.  It is a longish process.  Patience...it will come about in its own time.

Honestly I don't remember. It took me a few years to really start blending in with society at large really well. I've lost over 20lb this year and the more weight I lose the more I notice my hips
