Id be careful with the bra thing.  I did that and someone patted my back and noticed.

I remember a long time ago, a coworker was patted on the back and we all thought it was a bra but it was actually a back support brace to help with posture. You could say that is what it is.

I'm not good at lying lol

I can't really do much until I move into my own home, but I do get to do some more subtle things.

I stopped wearing baggy or loose pants, now I wear tight men's pants and occasionally skinny jeans. I started sitting down to pee if I wasn't in a rush. I bring my legs up into the chair I'm sitting in because it feels feminine to me. I've started to shave my whole body. Let my emotions show more than I used to. Talk with my friends a bit more feminine. I had a girls shirt that had one of the shows I liked on it, I'd were it out in public with a tight, girlish hoodie to hide the sleeves.

I can't really buy anything online because some sites make their packaging too obvious and my brothers are nosy and tend to open other people's packages.

Can't help you with other people opening it, but I bought a lot of clothing on Amazon which comes in bags or boxes and isn't suspicious at all.

I am, I still have about 3 dozen people who think I'm a girl as friends in an online game. Now don't judge me on this, because I don't use it negatively or to my advantage. I just have a female character, avoid masculine words and subjects, and act very feminine. I don't use voice chat, so they only know me by what I type.

Was actually going to try Amazon, maybe just get some more zip up hoodies and choose ladies t-shirts when I find a good one. Maybe some skin products too.

I'll get other stuff when I have my own address.

Im not so sure I'd call that lying.  You do identify as female, no?  Also lying through type is different.  1000000 times easier

As I lost weight, I kept switching to tighter and tighter pants and clothes. I think I look better, and I like the way it feels. I made sure to hold onto some of my larger sizes, though, so that as the hormones take more effect I can dress baggy to maintain stealth.

If you don't do so already, I would suggest getting manicures. Gel lasts the longest. You could start with clear polish, and after people get used to it and stop noticing, you can get more bold. My next stop was silver, which I liked quite a bit. For the last couple of months, though, my color of choice as been black. I am considering trying out white for Christmas, but I'm not sure; I really dig how the black looks.

Wow, now that you put it that way... I see where I went wrong. Idk, I screw up what I say sometimes and end up making things bad for myself.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'm still learning and tend to goof up a bit.

I'm sorry, I really want to hide away and just forget that I ever posted that.... I feel bad that I made myself sound like a fool.

I found the best way to pick up habits from either gender is to observe them "out in the wild". If you have a local park, this is a great place to start. Most people at parks are relaxed enough to mostly be themselves, sure, you're still seeing their public self, but no one's walking like a toy soldier because they're worried their boss might be oggling them. Most people won't think it the least bit odd if you sit on a park bench and watch, so long as you aren't outright gawking at people like you're out on a people-shopping trip. Malls are likewise a good place for this.

Shampoos, lotions, anti bacteria, hand soaps, hair care, perfume. ...as girly as you can get away with.  Then discard all male smelling stuff.

Love it all!

Regarding perfume I suggest getting small decants rather than going straight for a bottle. I've sampled like 50 different fragrances so far and I can say there are some amazing things out there.

And... The fun part is that in the perfume world gender bending is approved and even encouraged lol

Whoever needs some tips feel free to PM.

I've done a few things. like getting eyebrows done, wearing women's deodorant, and wearing a women's underwear.

I tell them it's a shoulder holster for my gun. They usually back off.

Brows can get noticed. I got looks when I did mine. It was the single most effective feminizing thing I've done to date and it was pretty drastic.

Whoo!

Well truth be told I dislike shoulder rigs but it goes with the territory (I'm an ex LEO).

The brow waxing wasn't that drastic in my case, but gay men seem to notice (some of them are pretty cute, but I  don't want to be treated  like a man), while almost everyone else is oblivious or won't say anything, and I have to wear safety goggles all day so I'm not sure anyone would notice if I slowly got a more feminine shape. It can help sitting down while going,  but this only works some of the time in public, where men's restrooms can be horribly filthy. The other thing that can help is shave or wax your body. It also helps to adopt a feminine posture and walk more like a female.

I like to put on some perfume before I go to bed then shower away the smell the next morning.

Brows are something you can thin over time, making the change look less drastic to those around you. At some point, though, you'll have to go in there and just say what you want. Eventually, I just told the lady to make them pretty. She got what I meant.

I did gradual and  one day it became drastic.

I am trying to grow it back though, I want a different shape.

I want to do this. Any suggestions on types that are more or less comfortable?

My absolute favorites are Victoria's Secrets Cheekini and Hiphuggers.  They are very pretty and very comfortable.  I also have some cheekinis from AEO and some bikinis from hanes.  Check your measurements before you buy.

It's great, I don't know why I didn't do it before! If you don't mind my asking, are you able to "go" while tucked?

Unfortunately I don't know of anyway to go with out letting it all hang down , then re-tuck right after  .

Eyebrows, eyeliner and mascara are next on my list!  I've been thinking about women's deodorant but figured I would wait until I begin HRT in February.  By the way LHR on your underarms is amazing!

Some that may be a bit more daring:
Wear women's jeans. Some are similar to men's but they fit differently. They always fit me better actually.
Wear v neck t shirts, women's. Wear women's t shirts in general?
Wear women's shoes that don't look too obvious.
Wear eyeliner... I can't begin to tell you how many times I've worn eyeliner in guy mode, even.

I love women's jeans, but definitely stick to the ones with subtle back pocket designs for everyday wear.
I switched over to wearing a few v neck t-shirts (hot pink and florescent yellow) layered with button down shirts over then (all from American Eagle).  In the future I'll go for the woman's v neck t shirts.  I would love to get some woman's button down tops but I think that's too obvious with the buttons on the opposite side.  Has anyone tried this in guy mode before?

I'm trying to get some woman's shoes that I can wear everyday.  That's what I'm stuck on, although I purchased a pretty pair of pink sneakers for men (yes for men, they support breast cancer awareness) from Amazon and I love them and wear them allot.   But I need some pretty black casual looking shoes with an appropriate looking heal...

I'm working toward wearing eyeliner and mascara.  Has anyone been successful in pulling this off in guy mode?
