    So after much deliberation and worry, sizing and calculating, i finally did it, I finally got my first pair of panties, and i have never felt more alive and happier, they are more comfortable than mens, and fit so much better

    If you are worried about transitioning and you want to take a small step no one will notice, i would siggest doing this through and through

    I am happy for you, Jess. I know it takes courage to cross that invisible gender line when making a step like this.

    I'd be worried too, but you know, for all they know, you're buying for someone else.

    Congratulations, any step that helps you feel better is a good step. It also makes each succeeding step a bit easier.

    Well done Jessie! I took exactly the same step a few months ago. I had help though - one of my best friends accompanied me on my first big shopping trip for female clothing.

    That’s amazing! Where did you get them from as I’m planning on getting some myself? And did you need to get a certain number of sizes larger or something? Sorry if that’s a bit intrusive.
    Thanks in advance!

    Congratulations!!
    I remember when I bought my first pair of panty hose. I was so nervous. But as you see, nobody cares that you are buying them. But, I am 50 and still get nervous purchasing bras, and panties.
    Keep moving forward. So happy for you!!

    I have gone shopping with my wife a couple of times. We go into the dressing room together. I mostly buy clothes online.
    I mostly wear them in the house. I've gone out in public a few times, but get sooooo nervous and scared and freak out. I hope one day that goes away.
    Keep me posted on your journey!!

    Do you have stronger desires to wear feminine clothes some days and not so much other days?
    Do the desires ever change during the day?
    Do they get stronger as you put more feminine clothes on?
    These are the feelings that I have experienced these last few weeks.

    1. out of the last two weeks, i only felt this once, its basically always want to wear feminine clothes, and one day i was so busy moving things i didnt think about it

    2. nope, they tend to stay the same at all times

    3. when i put on clothes that match who i am, i feel stronger in general

    Thank you for these answers. It helps me figure what is going on with me and who I really am. I am still trying to figure this out.

    Okay, its never a problem, but let me make one thing clear, everyones transition and their gender journey is different, so yes get advice and how others handle things, but remember to trust yourself, because only you will know whats good for you
