Susan's Place Transgender Resources

 I'm trying to get the courage up to get my own pretty underwear. Any suggestions? I'm so sick of boxers :laugh:
Love,
Kayla

Hi Kayla,  The first panties that I naught were from the internet as I was to embarrassed to go to the store to get them but the problem that I found was the sizing,  if you have a girlfriend who knows of your dysphoria you could go shopping with her as it takes the attention away from you in the ladies section.

After a while you will get more comfortable going into the ladies section to buy underwear as far as anyone knows you could be there buying a gift for your girlfriend.

Best if luck

 Thanks Emily. Unfortunately I do not have a girlfriend who knows of my dysphoria :-\
Love,
Kayla

I would recommend getting some cheap cotton panties from Wal-mart or Amazon or somewhere.  Order online if you're shy about shopping in the store, but it's really no big deal.  Just remember that you have every right to shop for and buy whatever lingerie you like.  There is nothing to be embarassed about. 

So I would get some cheap panties at first in a few different styles and sizes around your size.  Remember that you can't usually return underwear if the packaging is opened though. ;)  Once you know your size and the style you prefer, you can get some nicer pairs.  And while you're at it, why not get some bras and anything else that catches your eye?  Just a thought :)

Here's a link to some random sizing chart: http://www.mycamila.com/sizechart.html.

Good luck and try to have fun!

 Thanks for the advice Marissa,
The only reason I have problems with being embarrassed is that I'm still in high school and live at home. How can I get them washed?
Love,
Kayla

either ordering online or like Frederick of Hollywood are the easiest places to go get hep. Victoria's secret is good too. they will do anything to make a sale
just breath. you will be fine

Thanks for the reassurance Tristan :)

I guess you either have to do laundry when no one else is home or hand wash them in the sink maybe?

Ok, all of this is helping set my mind sort of at ease :)
Love,

There are a couple of companies that distribute through Wal-Mart that make male bikini briefs. They are pretty much panties, but are "masculine" because they only come in solid and basic colors i.e. black, blue, and red. I have a few pairs and I feel quite feminine while wearing them.

Where do I find those?! I saw them once and I've looked but I couldn't find them again. I still would like women's tho :-\

Yep ^.  Same thing.  I started wearing them and they are wonderful.  I just said I needed the extra support that boxers don't provide.  Then, they go in with the regular wash and there are no questions.  I got mine at Walmart.

Hugs,

Jen

Thank You!

I usually see them between the boxer briefs and tighty whities, but I do know that most Wal-Marts have individual set ups. Good luck!

I never understood the fascination with underwear. I only started wearing a bra because I pretty much have to. But I do like fashion and if your in high school your'll be 18 soon and can start HRT if you want and life will be beautiful and so will you. Then you'll be embarrased about going in the men's section. I love shopping.

I go to either Kohl's both in store and online. My favorite brand is Candie's. Pretty, frequently on sale, holds male parts well, and durable. Also Amazon is a great place to go as well.

I think the Jockey "Elance" bikini's will prove to be a good solution.  They look and feel like women's cotton panties, but are sold for men.

http://www.jockey.com/catalog/product/elance-bikini-3-pack

They are currently on sale for half price with free shipping.

My daughter accidentally brought home some of her college roommate's panties in her laundry for my wife to wash, and they ended up in my underwear drawer.

Still they are men's underwear so no one should complain about cross-dressing.  You have plausabile deniability!

Kayla, before you know it your orders will be showing up in the mail and you will do a happy dance as you open the package :)

I like the styles and fit of pretty things from SOMA.com

btw, if you are hesitant to have items delivered to your parents home where you live you can easily open a Post Office box or mailbox at a nearby UPS store or similar place. You can also easily buy pre paid VISA cards to order things online if you don't have your own bank account and card.

Good luck sweetie! I wish I could have come out when I was your age! But that was a whole different era and a long time ago.

Hehe, my first pair was actually a black thong with pink lace lol. I got a matching bra too. It was technically for a halloween costume (uh huh, never wore them with it xD ) so I felt I had every right in the world to buy them. Walked confidently into Walmart, picked them out, and bought them feeling quite proud of myself! Didn't wear them much, and I too was paranoid about washing them but finally did a couple times without incident. The thong didn't really offer much support, but I felt pretty wearing it under my jeans out in public. :D

I actually bought my first pair of panties a few weeks ago... I bought them online because I still don't have nearly the confidence I'd need to actually walk into a store and buy them. It was weird, because originally I was going to just buy regular men's underwear, but when I started looking at them I got all depressed, and then I saw the link to women's underwear tempting me from the corner of the screen... Well, what I ended up buying were just some nondescript black panties, but I'm still glad I did it. Next time, something with stripes I think... Anyway, just order them online along with something else that won't draw attention (socks or something), so that if anyone asks what you ordered you have something to tell them.

I found nice ones at Kohls or Target.

I bought my first ones in a grocery store wary basic but comfortable buy them with other groceries nobody cares  Hand washing is quick and easy.

Sorry for chipping in here, but I had the same worry but in reverse a few years ago so thought I might be able to help.

Do you have self service checkouts in America? All most all supermarkets do here in the UK and that's how I brought my underwear because there doesn't have to be any interaction with other humans.

When I lived at home I either had to handwash in the sink, just chuck some washing powder/liquid in and rub things around until they're clean and rinse well. Make sure you have something to carry them out of the bathroom in if someone's likely to spot you carrying them back to your room, I forgot once and putting wet underwear on to smuggle them past parents wasn't a fun experience! I dried them by hanging them up in the hottest part of the room, which shouldn't take long if you have heating. If I knew everyone was going to be out for a while I'd use the 15 minute cycle on the washing machine to speed things up.

The self service checkout at Meijer has saved my skin many times; buying female clothing and products. It helps immensely.

If you have a sister that wouldn't notice a pair or two of her's could disappear so you can get an idea about sizes. My sister left for collage and left quite a few clothes when she did so until I bought my own all my clothes came from her. So if you have a sister that's about the same size as you, you may can "borrow" a pair just be careful because if she is anything like my sister she would kill you if she found out... :P
And I started doing my own regular laundry before I started washing my fem clothes so that it wouldn't look weird, and I always wait till late at night to do it.

took me an hour of pacing around the panty section looking like a complete weirdo until I mustered the courage to get a pack of underwear.  This was like 5 years before I started HRT.  I had a buzz cut and was 0% passable.

I padded the purchase with some chips and salsa to make it look as if my primary reason was not to buy panties LMAO

Sadly, I did pretty much the same thing a few days ago buying makeup and earrings. Tried acting like I was buying for someone else. :/

In time all these worries will vanish and shopping will be second nature. I used to have all these worries but I just did it and kept on doing it and now it is second nature and no one ever gives me so much as a second glance. I even got my makeup done at a makeup counter. It prolly helps that I look 95 percent female (haven't had laser so, I'm 5 percent off lol).

Thank you for all the great advice so far!

I bought my first 2 pairs today... Let me tell you, i was breathless at checkout! But sitting here in a silky star covered pair of panties is just wonderful...

Oh, also i got my panties at Asda Walmart (UK) if that helps...? The George clothing section seems quiet most of the time... Even still, i felt like everyone was watching me :O

Good News, I went to Walmart and got panties! One of them was even a thong! There's also a really cute pair that is blue with white stripes that has little ribbons on them and lace ;D I'm wearing them at school right now :) Then I went to CVS and bought a three pack of basic cotton ones in different colors so I now have six pairs of my own! Hopefully I don't get caught by my parents, they feel to incredible and somehow right for me to go back to wearing male underwear ;)
Love,

congratulation's

Yay! Good going Kayla.  8)

I remember my first panties..

They were very boring.. plain cotton white with little bow on the front.. was around 16 at the time. I used to love wearing them

I still got those panties.. but they don't fit anymore.. grown since 16, plus HRT has given me wider hips


@kaylagirl0806-  I hope you try the thong on... they are little weird to wear at first, but you get use to them.. and will not even feel them and I think they are very comfortable.

Thanks Noleen! I really love it. It's white and lacy.
Love,

I was thinking about getting a thong but was gonna wait til after SRS. Is it practical to wear them before?  Seems to defeat the point if I wear a gaff with them.  :D

Not really for sure on that....
Love,

Does anybody know of a way to get the male parts to shrink? The thing between my legs is really starting to bug me and wish it would fit in my panties better.

HRT has made that thing shrink so much that I do not have to tuck anymore...cannot wait until it is completely gone and transformed into a velvet purse

Haha. I love the way you worded this peky

We can not ask your age here. Are you still in High School? No need to answer.

If you are a legal adult, you get to figure this out for yourself. If not, you may have to wait... or come out. If you are on your parent's insurance, you may still be able to find a shrink for your depression (and, if you do the research, they may handle trans patients). If you are dysphoric, you qualify for a depression diagnosis. Semantics mean something to insurers. I take Spiro because of high blood pressure. Estrogen: hormone imbalance. Both are true. Both are covered. I would not be covered for being trans. ;)

Find a good shrink and a good doc. Or come out to your parents.

OR BOTH!

Thanks for the response :) I'm finding it harder to come out than you might imagine though. I tried coming out last year in a letter to my parents and they told me it was just hormones and that I would get over it.... :-\ Yes, I'm in High School.
Love,

Before you know it you will have a whole drawer full of pretty things and the old boy stuff will find its way to the weekly trash pick up or charity. :)

I donated boxes of old shirts, coats and pants to our local hospice charity

You might want to get some cute cami tops to wear this winter under your shirts, Target has them for around $10 usually.

You girls are so lucky having a big sale in Nov I have to wait until the boxing day sales for my next big clothes and shoe hunt.

Any suggestions on what I can progress to buying and wearing now that I've gotten panties? I can't wait to get more. They seem right somehow. Someone already suggested getting some camis. Any other suggestions?

stockings are nice

I love my pantyhose and my tights. They help keep everything pushed in plus no better feeling than hose on fresh shaved legs.

cant agree more.. I love the feeling of hose on freshly shaven legs.. I love wearing pantyhose.. it was the first piece of female clothing i ever wore

I agree with earlier posters, self checkouts are a good idea. And I'd avoid what you think are pretty ones, but go for big old comfy cotton ones. They will quickly become favorites to come back to.

The first pair I bought were very pretty, but sliced me in two...

I would have to agree we aren't really equipped down there for the pretty ones. 'Ouch' a nice compfy pair are nice to wear.

Emily.T xx

With the holidays coming up its the perfect time to go shopping if your embarrassed. Whatever you buy will be assumed to be a gift (especially if you ask for a gift receipt). I first went to Victoria's Secret I was so nervous and a sales woman could tell but was really nice and helped me pick out some wonderful things. She said men come in all the time to shop.

I've found that my favorite panties I have right now are some colorful hipsters trimmed with lace. I love em :) I may just try Victoria's Secret ;)

I've been wearing pretty ones a few times (they're all i bought, got kinda excited) and they're fine, if you readjust a little throughout the day. I hate that i have to though :( I'll look into the 'big old comfy cotton ones' though :)

That does sound wonderful! Soon... soon :D

Victorias Secret quality has slipped a bit in the last few years and their fabrics seem to lose its elasticity towards the end of the day, that's why I really prefer Soma.com, their styles just seem to fit better and are better made, they are not cheap but once in awhile the have a "7 pair for $35" sale which is a savings of over $70!!
I like their bikini and hipster styles that come with different lace trim options and nice colors :) depending on the style I wear either a small or medium and they stay comfy all day long.

I've always been thankful I don't have much going on down "down there" so it's not to hard to hide the poor little thing :)

My first trip to get panties was a little while back. I have gone back twice to get panties. Now I own 6 pairs of fruit of the loom hipsters, and 8 other misc pairs. Yippee for panties. I have to agree though trying to figure out how to wash them is a little bit of a pain.

Thank you so much for all the advice ladies! Keep it coming!
Love and Kisses,

I naught some gorgeous panties today with Mickey mouse on the front from k mart they are my new fav pair

Emily.T xx

Burn all those boxer things & wear some normal nice underwear. You will never go back.

I just bought some nice boy shorts from Meijer this morning. I like the way boy shorts fit me.

Whenever I visit N. America, I stop at a Wal-mart to purchase a bunch of briefs and boxes for little girls from Hanes. They offer various colors and patterns. Size 10 or 12 fits well to me, but this year I found size 12 is a little bit too big. They are very comfortable, endurable and cheap. Also good for tugging. Cashiers might guess I purchase for my daughter.

Barbie~~

i know what you're going through kayla as i experienced the exact same desires in school. now that you've mastered panties, try hose next. it's the first article of feminine clothing i ever tried and that is what got me hooked. i used to wear them in drab. no one knows except you, they're cheap and disposable. good things is they tend to run so you don't really have time to stash them and instead you get to buy them often. i don't know if you shave your legs but if you can, hose on freshly-shaved legs in pure bliss. an unmistakable experience in femininity. if i may be allowed to use contradictory language, feeling constrained by hose is so liberating... problem is you will get hooked too and soon you will want to progress to bras, shoes and skirts. you might want to try nail polish on your toes too. looks very ladylike with hose :) the road to becoming a girl...

Your so cute! There is a brand called Lizwear at Sam's club that I like.  I have found that their bikini style has a wider crotch area between the legs, so they hold everything in well. They are amazingly soft and comfy too! I like bikini, hipsters and boyshorts. I have maybe two thongs. I love panties lol  I am happy to hear you finally got some, They helped me so much with my dysphoria back then.

Get the courage hun, there is no better time than now! The thing I regret the most is not doing this back then and wasting so much valuable time! Spread your wings hun, its time to soar! being free to be yourself and not have to hide is so amazing there is no words to describe it!

buying your first pair can be scary, but once you do it you will realize its not bad! in my opinion once you get over being nervous it becomes rather enjoyable. as was said earlier no one knows what your buying them for so be confident.

This! I was terrified getting my first few, now i have... lots! :) and i also bought a dress i can wear at home... I feel so much better right now.

Also, i got my ear pierced yay :D

I like these (cheeky) microfiber boyshorts with lace trimming and plan on getting some more in different colors. The size medium fits perfect.

I really like those too. They're cute! Thanks for the compliment Jen-Jen. I don't get called cute very often ;) Makes me feel good.

Been wearing these around now that it's getting colder. I <3 them but they're the only piece of 'girl clothing' that I have right now. :\

Waiting until I lose a lil weight before buying a whole new wardrobe, but I suppose I can get some panties. :)

I dont think im going to have much of this embarrassment ( at least i hope not) because I can just go to the mall with my friend sophie that know my dilemma. Hmm maybe i should plan tht trip for next weekend!    ;D

I'm also in high school but i dont think it will be that bad to go to a store and find some tht i like. I suppose make sure to get some tester pairs.... or look at that chart somebody posted http://www.mycamila.com/sizechart.html

Hey girls been a while :)

Soo, i now have lots of panties, some leggings, some tights, 2 lovely dresses and a skirt!! :) Wearing my dress around the house just felt... so natural. I felt this weight lift off me!

In other news, i got both my ears pierced :)

And in other other news, i came out to my manager, the head HR lady and my mum, who were all 100% supportive and wonderful :') i've cried so often recently... And my mum said ''We can go shopping together now!'' :'D

Love,

Hey girls,
I haven't been able to get on in awhile because school has been really busy(we're coming up on finals). If anyone has any more tips I'd be very grateful. Kayla needs to get out a little more ;)
Love,

Just remember: Cashiers have a memory of about 10 seconds after you're done paying. They don't are what you buy. At all.

Once i got that through my head and put myself in their shoes, all i could think was "oh he's buying that for his g/f,friend/mother/sister".. but then i thought about it a bit more and i ended up at "Put the tag under the scanner, ring up price, have a good day. God a i need a beer. So tired of this ->-bleeped-<-ty job."

Haha I never thought of it that way kasika

God a i need a beer. So tired of this ->-bleeped-<-ty job."

Lucky, when I was in their shoes, I had to manually enter everything. My boss (who was my uncle) tried barcodes once, didn't like them. Everything is manual, no computers at all. I did get the feeling of wanting a good drink after I got home (past 11 sometimes) and hating my job. Never again.
Self checkouts when they exist, are pretty darn great though. I use them whenever possible at WalMart, Target, Meijer, etc.

 First off, you really inspire me Willow! You're only one year older than me so you're closer to knowing how I feel :) The only problem with self checkouts in my area is that most require a credit card and I don't have one. Any suggestions on other feminine things I could buy?
Love,

Fitted T-shirts are good way to spruce up your closet cheaply

Thanks for the idea kasika. Where can I find those? Is there a specific brand? Any other I=deas

Does anybody else have suggestions on where to get fitted tshirts and what kind are the best? Also, any other feminine things to buy?

Btw thanks for all the support so far :) Please keep it coming. I don't know what I would do without you!

Hm, that's really strange.
Perhaps try buying feminine soaps, shampoo, conditioner, and lotions. Also, tis the season, so Bath and Body Works is a popular place to buy mothers and sisters those things as gifts. And by golly do they smell good. That may be a good start. As a kid I could never ask enough to take a bath with mom's scented bubble bath.

By fitted t-shirts i meants t-shirts with a women's cut, tighter fitting. Not loose fitting like a man's.

 I have started using Caress daily silk body wash and I love it! I've always used female shampoo as its what my mom buys. I knew what fitted t shirts were but didn't know if there was a specific brand you would recommend?

Unfortunately, my mom doesn't have scented bubble bath :(

Hi Kayla its been a while since I popped my head in just because your mum doesn't have any scented bubble bath it doesn't mean that you couldn't get some for yourself, you deserve to be spoiled just as much as any other girl take the plunge and buy some you'll love it, I love lavender or rose scented bubble bath its so relaxing.

I have to agree I naught a nice pink cotton pair with a yellow lace band my favourite by far.

A couple times a year soma.com has a 70% off clearance sale! I just ordered 6 pair of the styles that fit perfectly in some new colors they have.

This order was only $40 and that included tax/shipping, these panties are usually $16 to $18 a pair so it's a great savings!

Sounds like a good sale. Quality panties are definitely a lot more comfortable then cheapo ones and its definetly worth it imo.

I figure I saved $60 or more on that sale :)

Thanks Michelle. I'll have to check that out :)

My first was the Japanese white and light blue striped panties.  Then I got a package of hipsters and bikini from Walmart.

I bought my first pair of [my own] panties at Walmart. Being 13 years old [and not having much money,] I went with the cheapest bikini cut I could find. I still have them, though they no longer fit. I have a second pair I bought shortly thereafter with "Girls Rule, Boys Drool" imprinted on them. Really cute.

my first pair I bought at my neighborhood grocery store. I think they were pink

My first were some AE undies that i cant remember specifically what they were.
some types of panties are uncomfortable for me to wear like thongs and bikinis, so I avoid them.
Hipsters are where its at XD

i would recommend Hanes Comfortsoft no-lines Hipsters. super comfy and can be really cute. but the no lines-part isnt always the case D; but its better than a lot of the cheapo undies.

Thank you rinaballerina! I will definitely be checking those out :) I too love hipsters
Kisses,
Kayla

just bought more!

Kayla,

It does get easier to purchase the clothing you like with time. I remember the first time I went to the store to purchase panties for myself, I was probably 13 or 14. I rode my bike to the store. I was so nervous that I actually passed out on the sidewalk in front of the store. I ended up not buying them that day and had to ride home and explain to my parents how I had cut my face up.

I still remember the moment when I stopped being nervous about buying panties for myself, I was 35 years old. I was shopping at Frederick's for the third time in a month. The same girl assisted me each time. On my third trip she stopped asking what colours "she" liked and asked me what colours "you" liked. At that moment I realized that it's ok for me to wear whatever I want, and the people in the stores don't care who it's for as long as they are selling something. I now I've full time as a woman and don't own a single piece of male clothing.

I know that you still live with your parents, and you need to be a little more discreet. Hang in there and know that eventually you will be out on your own and free to live the way that is right for you. Try not to think of this time as a restriction on the real you, but think of your future as a goal that you can achieve.

Go buy condoms as well so you really freak people out walking up with condoms AND panties! Priceless expressions.

Been wearing these around now that it's getting colder. I <3 them but they're the only piece of 'girl clothing' that I have right now. :\

Waiting until I lose a lil weight before buying a whole new wardrobe, but I suppose I can get some panties. :)

Ashey i cant believe that is the only girl clothing you have you are very passable and cute and no need to worry about shopping.

Hey girls been a while :)

Soo, i now have lots of panties, some leggings, some tights, 2 lovely dresses and a skirt!! :) Wearing my dress around the house just felt... so natural. I felt this weight lift off me!

In other news, i got both my ears pierced :)

And in other other news, i came out to my manager, the head HR lady and my mum, who were all 100% supportive and wonderful :') i've cried so often recently... And my mum said ''We can go shopping together now!'' :'D

Love,

xxxx

That is awesome you go girl. I am glad all three was receptive.I love my dresses too and hate when i got to go back to man style for certain reasons.

Just remember: Cashiers have a memory of about 10 seconds after you're done paying. They don't are what you buy. At all.

Once i got that through my head and put myself in their shoes, all i could think was "oh he's buying that for his g/f,friend/mother/sister".. but then i thought about it a bit more and i ended up at "Put the tag under the scanner, ring up price, have a good day. God a i need a beer. So tired of this ->-bleeped-<-ty job."

We really need a like comment on this site besides your comments on this thread there are meany that i think were great.

Kayla congratulations on your new discovery. I hope all goes well with you. Since you are so young I know your transition will be great if you so chose to go that far. although I have some sexy underwear for every day wear I wear joe boxers womans underwear. The are only cotton but good for every day use and have cute writing or markings.  even without hrt you will become addicted to shopping if you can afford it. As some one mentioned earlier get a prepaid credit card. I use netspend with them you can get up to five different cards I have one for my oldself and then for kelly. if you have a job and can get direct deposit the costs of the card are minimal. I hope all is well.

Good for you and your trip into panties. I personally and what my sis like to call and undies whore. I just cant get enough of them.

LOL, my first time buying panties I went to the local Walmart at 6 AM when hardly anyone was in the store. I'd already figured out the size and style I wanted beforehand by looking around online. Once in the store I grabbed a basket and nonchalantly made my way into women's underwear section while no one else was around. After obtaining my sought after loot I went about the rest of the store and piled some other stuff over the top and then waited around until 7 AM when the self-checkout registers opened. Checked everything out at the register myself and no one ever noticed.

I laugh now at how paranoid I was being, but I guess it's a good way to do it if you are overly scared about being questioned for buying female underwear.

Most ppl really don't care what you are buying but the self service checkouts are a godsend though these days I just go to a normal register I am really over what other ppl think if I want something I just buy it, I now have over 15 pairs of panties in all kind of styles hipsters are my fav they are so comfortable.
