Greetings Dear Readers!
I hope you are well and wearing something pretty. First, a shout out to Nathan, who suggested a blog topic about lingerie. Thanks, Nathan. What a fun topic! Because the word “lingerie” covers such a large array of clothing, I’m going to limit this blog to the topic of panties – a topic I know you are all totally into, as am I.
The great majority of us got our start in cross-dressing with panties. A good number of us started by exploring mom’s or sister’s panty drawer and then progressed to buying our own. Some folks, once they are adults, limit themselves to underdressing under their everyday male clothing, while others of us progressed on to bras, hosiery, and finally outer clothing.
I was a late starter, having begun with underdressing in middle age. Do you remember the thrill of that first time you slipped into a pair of panties? I was so amazed by the choices. With men’s underwear, you have a choice of tighty whities or boxers. Of course, you could expand that to uh, tighty whities or boxers. Of course, you can also find male thongs, usually in, of all places, swimwear. With panties, you’ve got this amazing variety of styles, colors, and fabrics. Xdress/Body Aware has a huge selection, ranging from pretty grannies to bikinis, thongs, G-strings, tap pants, tangas – ah the list goes on! And the fabrics! Lace, satin, cotton, polyester. I’m all about comfort, and men’s underwear does not begin to measure up to the comfortable styles and fabrics of Xdress panties.
It’s interesting to me that, although I’ve been underdressing for many years now (I have one pair of men’s underwear that I wear for my annual physical with my very conservative doctor) that it is still a treat every morning to pick out the day’s panties. When I wore men’s underwear, I didn’t give a thought to the selection of underwear, as they all looked the same. Not so with panties. Every day it is fun to decide on what panties to wear. Is it like that for you?
Online panty shopping is the safest way to go, and Xdress/Body Aware panties are designed with the male physique in mind, in terms of the width of the gusset, which gives a very comfortable fit. It is also fun to go to the “other side of the store” and explore the panty section. I am very fortunate to have a very supportive wife, and we go panty shopping together. I find that shopping in stores appeals to my feminine side, plus it is just a bit risky, making it all the more fun. Part of the fun for me is wearing a very sexy pair of panties under my women’s jeans and nobody has a clue how hot I look under it all. Speaking of jeans, if you try on a pair of women’s skinny jeans, you’ll never go back to men’s jeans. I know, that’s off-topic, but I just had to throw that in there.
Okay, so there are my thoughts on the topic. How about you? Are you a full-time panty wearer or limit it to weekends or special occasions? How old were you when you started underdressing? What are your favorite styles/fabrics? What is your preferred style of shopping – online or brick and mortar? Warm-up those keyboards guys/gurls. You know I love hearing your stories!
Fond regards,
Angie ♥️

Dear John
You are so right. For guys raised to be masculine yet desperate to release their feminine side, feminization trainers or support is definitely the way to go. You can however take small steps yourself by practising your own deportment a little every day; the way you sit with your legs together or lift your posture a little more when you walk for example. Sit up straight. Swing your arms a little less when you walk. Relax your face and open your eyes a little more. All these things are gentler ways of moving through the world and showing respect for yourself and others. Far easier by far if you’re wearing beautiful xdress panties and a bralette too. Shed that agressive masculine mask and be gentler with the world.

John,
You are absolutely right, having someone there to support you is absolutely essential. It can be a significant other, friend, family member, counselor… anyone that will support you. Sharing your feelings about this side of yourself with someone who won’t judge you completely changes your mindset about it. You will no longer feel ashamed but instead feel encouraged to be yourself, which we all deserve to be.
Nathan: good advice. I am currently building up a panty and bra collection so that I can put away my male underwear and try to wear only panties. I’ll see how long I can do it without reverting back to male underwear. You are absolutely right about comfort and I think that’s one of the many reasons I abandon panties frequently; it’s so hard to find a comfortable fit. Xdress is really helping here but it’s good to have variety, there are so many sexy choices for women. I think what the world needs is feminization trainers (you know, like the gym fitness trainers?). These would be people who would coach you, support your choices and guide you in the right direction until you have permanently removed the toxic programming and are completely comfortable with expressing femininity.
Hi guys gurlz and all in between
What a great discussion! Obviously PANTIES are a HUGE factor in our expression our eroticism our sexuality our feminism or feminine expression.
I love panties on me and women too for that matter
I love even more the matching sets . Its so cool for me to wear male lingerie, so now am I really crossdressing? Well that doesn’t matter because I love pushing the envelope between male and female. Hey i love the styles the clothes the gender mixing
So i push forward
Wear something pretty today
I am!

Such pantyness out there!
It’s so refreshing to read about the feminine things we love to wear in a world that seems to be bursting at the seams with toxic masculinity.
In the same way that there was a ‘burn your bra’ movement in the sixties, perhaps we could start a ‘wear your bra’ movement for guys promoting a gentler and prettier way of living. That would be so liberating!
I’m in blue lace today for the occasion.
