My name is Patricia.
I am new to forums of any kind and was a bit apprehensive of registering for this one; in fact, this is my first post of any kind, but after reading a bunch of your posts, I found I am exactly like many of you. I'm not gay and I have no desire to go out in public dressed like a woman. This is just something that I do when I am alone and have been doing since I was young. I used to steal my sister's underwear and clothing and try it on when no one was around, and have always liked the way it feels. Then, like many of you, as I got older I tried "quitting" many times and threw away sometimes hundreds of dollars worth of lingerie and clothing only to eventually buy more. Now I recently moved into a place where I live alone and have been exploring my fem side a bit more. I don't have to worry about being caught, I can dress up whenever I want, and I can order items through the internet without having to try and "intercept" them, etc. However, I wonder, where do I go from here?
As it stands now, I am just a man wearing lingerie and a dress. I only recently started researching cross dressing; in fact, that is how I came to find this site. I have also been considering purchasing a set of breast forms, wig, make up kit, etc. In my research I found a web page "suddenly femme." They are offering a "super starter" kit that comes with all of the items I would like to get, plus more, but the problem is that it is a bit pricy for my budget, but if it is worth it, I can probably manage it. Anyone familiar with the Kit I am talking about? Is it worth the cost, or should I go elsewhere and purchase items separately?
I also have questions about the breast forms themselves. I have found that there are millions of them out there with basically 2 distinct groups, the triangular and teardrop styles. Which are better? I personally like the way the teardrop style looks better, but am concerned about the overall height of that style. Are they going to protrude out the top of the average bra cup? Will they provide the natural look I am looking for? Do the triangular ones stay put better as I suspect? If I can narrow this one down, I think I will be ahead of the game. For $150 or more, I would really like to make an educated decision.
Anyway, I have read many of the introductions and the positive responses to them, so I am going to thank you all ahead of time for welcoming me to your community. I look forward to being a part of it and learning what it has to offer.
