So I visited my therapist yesterday and during our hour-long session, he suggested to me to wear a swimsuit (obviously for guys) to help ease the horrid dysphoria I feel while showering.

While I admit that was a good suggestion, I was wondering what you guys do to make this task alot more doable on a daily basis since we are the ones directly affected by it.

I know there are plenty of threads like this one floating around here. I guess I kinda wanna start this discussion back up again.

 I use feminine bath products.  Add to that the exfoliation (shaved arms, legs, and chest) and my wife now accuses me of taking longer showers.  Course it doesn't help my case when I shave my face in the shower :-)

I've been known to dissociate. It doesn't happen often, but every now and then I "come back" to the shower and I can't remember if I've soaped myself. When I see how sudsy the bar of soap is, I know I have, but I've been somewhere else while I was doing it.

(I know this isn't exactly a tip, but evidently it's one way I cope with dysphoria...)

I'm not as bad body dysphoria wise as I used to be. I tried wearing swimming shorts with a cheap binder and elasticated exercise shirt a few times when taking a bath (I only take baths to relax). Even though I felt totally dysphoria free and very manly I find it takes too much time to do it all the time when I take a bath.
For showering I try to be as quick as possible and I'm too busy washing to notice my body too much. What does help though is using some nice shampoo and shower gel which gives me the chance to try and care about my body; even though it doesn't look how I'd like it to look.
I also remember my body is a man's body despite what others think and I try to focus on the parts of my body I like.

I have a really slim harness, so I pack 24/7, including in the shower. That helps a lot.

I don't look at myself. I can wash without looking at it, get myself clean and dissociate when I gotta get to those parts. I think it'd be more difficult to clean while wearing extra stuff.

Let me return to the way this thread started.

I have used and observed women's shower rooms, with the intent of doing the same thing as the cis found within.  I and talking about what I have usually found, private showers but communal changing rooms.

To me,the drill seems to be the following.

Enter with bathing suit one (one piece or bikini)
Enter shower with bathing suit on.
Remove suit inside shower.
Wash body
Wash bathing suite (to remove salt or chlorine)
Emerge from shower wearing bath towel wrapped around boobs and covering to upper thighs.
Move to personal locker
Put on panties under towel
Face away from others and put on on bra
Put on top
Put on bottoms (leggings or jeans, never a dress or skirts)
Put on thongs or sandals
exit changing room with wet bathing suit wrapped in towel.
There is very little, if any , casual chatting among swimmers.  It is a zone of silence, until exiting.  At that point, people with whom you exchanged eye contact inside the changing room might find it appropriate to talk to each other in the usual chatty feminine manner.

Lessons learned:  women's changing rooms are private space, but they are checking you out, not for gender identity, but for gossip partners "on the outside,"possibly leading to a social relationship.

Observations:  It is all about boobs.  Unless you have something to fill your bra, suspicion will come down upon you unless you weigh less than 120 pounds.  Because hair is all slicked down from the shower water, and no one has makeup on, it is unadulterated body shape that makes you pass.  If body shape is not typically female, boobs are trumps.  Lacking typical body shape and lacking boobs, be prepared for a challenge.

Hope this helps.

Disassociation basically. Or i look at my feet or armpit hair or like anything other than those most obvious parts.

For me, as of now, it just helps to use male hygiene products and disassociate too.
