So... Today I shaved my legs for the first time and now I have toenail polish on that I don't intend on removing! Had always been deathly afraid of others finding out so I never allowed myself to do anything like this, by far one of the most liberating feelings I've had. Keep wanting to stare at them wiggling my toes around watching the light reflect.

Before I would look down & my harry feet and feel a pit in my stomach form, now I see them as my own if that makes sense? Have you had similar experiences, or am I alone in this?

Oh darling
The first time . Have you put nylon stockings on? They feel so fantastic on the newly shaved legs. After a while it becomes normal but the first time is a blast. I hope you did the inner leg area as well , after a while it becomes so normal that you just hate having hairy legs. Get into a routine of shaving and body care, Mondays this Tuesdays that etc. That way you can cope with looking and feeling good all the time without feeling Oh * the weekend is here and I want to go out and not look like an ape, then spend hours shaving bits you don't want anyway.

OK now you have started painting the toes do them every week. Keep them trim, and try different colours to fit your mood. There are few things more relaxing than a hot shower, or even better a bath with scenty stuff, doing the girl routine and then sitting on the bed and polish the nails. Guys just don't get it . When you get brave enough; clear polish on the finger nails is a good start. Then of course it just gets better.
If you are feeling flat and have to be pretend male always remember " No one knows what's on your toes". Have fun Hun.

Cindy, wearing purple toe polish. Love it.

<-- Red polish 

I love the feeling of freshly shaven legs, but afterwards comes the itching and pain as the damn stubble comes back in. It sucks.

Ho Zoe

you are absolutely not the only one.
Like Cindy sad, things will be more normal in time, but the first time it's very exciting, like you do something that is forbidden.( for the record, it's not forbidden)
It seems to me that you are discovering yourselve more and more.
Keep on going sis, there is a whole new world to explore.
Just enjoy your girlhood

hugs
annette

Thanks for all the replies!

My shaver died before I could get all the hair on my legs, they looked like forests! I shaved my hands and now it looks like I have long sleeved shirt made of hair on, feel compelled to shave the rest off, but the only way I could play it off in public is as a joke, will see how I feel once my wig arrives...

I was afraid to shave my legs too, in fear that someone would find out. But a lot of guys shave their legs, it's nothing bad. Toe nail polish, is a little harder to dismiss.

I love the feeling of having freshly shaved legs and I want that feeling to last forever. But it only lasts until the next day, blah. Oh well ^.^

Oh yes. That is one of the better experiences.

Love it, love it, love it! There were times when I was in boy mode that I would let the hair grow out on my legs and I would leave it there for long enough to get used to it, just so I could recapture some of that feeling of shaving them again. Sliding in to the sheets at night with freshly shaven legs is heaven. As Cindy said, tights or hose feel divine. Especially the more high end stuff like Wolford. But alas, it now just feels normal.

Sadly i don't own any clothing right now, let alone hose Hope to be able to get a few things to wear around the house soon as I can afford to.

Mom was apprehensive about me shaving my arms, she suggested to trim the hair back.. Well she went to trim it for me (bonding experience sorta thing) and bzzzzt off comes a chunk of hair by 'accident' lol. Now I have smooth arms, go figure, now for my harry behind lol!

Just love the feel so far

Ahh i remember the first day i went full time...so nice =]

May I suggest keeping a diary or journal? In the future,times could get tough and maybe doubtful.These innocent moments of awakening might remind you of the beginning of this journey.

Certainly not the only 1 and certainly not the last, can't really add any more than what Cindy has said, its called pampering and guys certainly don't get it but its nice when they just except it as a ''girl thing'' different colors to fit the mood, Im lying on my bed now with my laptop, just done my toe nails in a dusky pink shade,
