Isn't this exciting... Hello everyone. It feels strange (and strangely comfortable) to be back at it again after so long being a "normie". I'm just shy of 40, and have not had an active interest in cross dressing for many years now. But after becoming single recently, I felt it was perhaps time to give it another bash. The back story...
I first tried on women's underwear when I was about 13 I think. No idea why, but thinking back, I was always kinda weird. I remember even as young as 8 or so, I would wear jocks backwards, maybe imitating those aerobics ozstyle videos. I loved the feel of it. Anyway, fast forward to puberty, and I wandered into my mother's wardrobe when I had the house to myself. It started with pretty basic stuff; regular knickers, just regular old cotton undies. Until I started digging deeper into the drawers and boxes at the back. Little satin panties, the 70's style with the really low waist. Lacey bras and garter belts with stockings. Ugh, so exhilarating. At one point, I was in full kit, bra, panties, garter belt and stockings, when she surprised me coming home early. I had to dart out of her room, throw some clothes on just in time to sit on the couch like nothing happened. Haha, wow, what a trip. I sometimes dressed head to toe except for a wig and make up. Nice heels and a skimpy dress to go with the rest.
I had dabbled throughout my teens years, and here n there in my twenties and early thirties. But I mostly hung up the lace for a long time. I felt it didn't suit me, and it was "wrong" etc. But after recently becoming single again, the urge was back. I spent weeks on AliExpress and Temu, just looking, seeing all the pretty things. I finally made a purchase, and was nearly dying waiting for the packages to arrive. Once they did, I spent the night opening each package, and trying them all on. Feeling how soft the lace and frills were, the silky cotton, admiring the patterns running up and down the lace teddy and fumbling with the suspender clips on the tops of the stockings. I ended buying waaay too much, but I didn't care. I was just happy to be in my own little bubble, indulging in this old habit. For a little while, at least.
Who knows how long I'll keep doing it this time. But I have discovered that I'm really into vinyl and shiny things...
And I do apologize if this comes across as more sexual than some others. I know it's more of a lifestyle for a lot of people and I respect that.
