Hello again, divine readers!
I would like to take this time to reflect on the wonders of femininity and the simply liberating effect it has on our souls.
Just like most of you, I have fully embraced my feminine side after many years of experimentation and discovery. This process surely was rocky to say the least, and I had many moments of doubt and insecurity. The world as we know it can be a daunting place for men who embrace the feminine aesthetic, but ultimately the feeling of being true to yourself outweighs any of the challenges that may come along with it. In the recent year, I have continued to push the gender envelope in all the places I exist publicly, and my confidence has been bolstered to a level I never thought to be possible.
Many factors have played into my newly found poise, but one of the primary ones is the simple fact that my femininity has been empowered by the existence of communities such as this one. XDress has been a wonderful place for personal validation, both in the confidence the models exude by presenting en femme, as well as the customers that share similar experiences and mentalities. The customer base only continues to grow with each passing day, and this fact goes to show how many men out there are accepting themselves as truly authentic, feminine individuals. This is such an inspiring period of history and I am truly proud to be a part of it.
I recently started a new job, and just like I do anywhere else, I presented the way I feel the most comfortable. This includes wearing satin blouses, beautiful skirts and dresses, and glamorous heels and makeup. Initially I did experience a fair amount of hesitation, and dressed a bit more androgynous as I became acclimated to my new environment. However, I quickly came to realize that no one really cared about my fashion choices, and instead I received many compliments and intrigued individuals who wanted to know more about me. One of my coworkers in particular told me: "Seeing someone who is so unapologetically themselves is always a great person to know".
At this moment I had never felt so proud of myself and my confidence continued to soar to new levels. Another coworker also was explaining my feminine presentation to another, stating "he dresses for fashion, and he looks amazing". These are experiences I simply had to share with you all, as I only wish to inspire every reader of this blog to eradicate any of the toxic societal conditioning you have endured throughout your life. To fully embrace my femininity unabashedly is an experience that I would not give up for anything. After all, gender is a spectrum that we all are free to experiment with as we desire. There are no defined rules or expectations for men or women in how they should appear anymore.
Times are changing rapidly, and it's important for every single one of us to realize and embrace this change to become truly empowered. I mean, how exquisite does it feel to come home after a long days work, and put on something like the Couture Satin & Lace Chemise? Better yet, wearing the Satin Ribbon and Bow Platforms to a a night out? I guarantee such experiences will leave you feeling confident and full of divine femininity that you will never want to give it up. And you never should. Our lives are our own, and we all are free to live them as we desire.
One final example I may share; I recently went clothes shopping while wearing an absolutely gorgeous pair of black patent heels. I live in a rather conservative area and most people around me dress very casual, so I stuck out as much as a sore thumb. At this point, I actually welcome any stares I receive, whether they are full of judgement or admiration. Such actions only prove that I have invoked another person's curiosity to a level where they may start becoming more open minded. Even if they are not, it feels good to burst the black and white bubble people often live in and force them to start thinking differently.
So set yourself free, embrace your femininity and become more empowered than you ever thought possible. Please share whatever experiences you have had that bolstered your confidence like I have. The more we support each other, the happier we can become!
Xoxo,
Nathan

Much like other peoples stories, I started wearing mens thongs, g-strings, jocks and whatever else I could find. For years I was very happy with just that. I loved having that little secret under my clothes for my personal enjoyment. As time went on though, I wanted others to enjoy my underwear too. I wanted to show them off and get appreciation for how I looked/felt. While still single, I resorted to online gay dating sites, so I could post pictures of me in them. The feedback was very nice. Shortly after i started dating my now ex GF. She accepted most of it but as I got more feminine with my underwear she started to accept it less. I still plowed forward and started expirimenting more, to find out what i liked. I started buying womens skinny jeans, leggings, running shorts and lounge pants. I even started to wear them out to the store or somewhere I would only be for a short time. It was very liberating. I kept going and found flats in my size and wore them out a couple of times. Keep in mind, I look like a thug from the streets of Chicago, so dressing in anything other than masculine clothing surely looks strange on me. Once I found alternatives to womens wear, I made changes. “Toms” shoes were great with skinny jeans and not too far off from flats. Plenty of websites with mens skinny jeans and leggings, as well. When i discovered the xdress satin pull over, racerback bra, i knew i had to try it. I tried a bra before that and just wasnt for me. This bra though…wow!! I love the hugging feeling on my chest. I own several now and love them. I wore them to work sometimes but they show underneathe my shirts in the back, so I could only wear them if I wore a sweater over my shirt. I also fell in love with the satin chemises from xdress. They are absolutely amazing to lounge in and sleep in. The cross straps in back, is what sets it apart from other skinny strapped tops. No slipping off my shoulders even while sleeping. They could not have been made better. For me, I do not want to be or look like a woman. I do however love womens “styles” I guess you could say. So I try to mimic the styles I find attractive on them because it makes me feel sexy and unique in a way. I dont seem to care for dresses and skirts, im more into the tight clothing and showing off my butt. After 8 years my GF and I decided to split up so I am seeing what else I can do to feminize myself and find out what I like or dont like. Expirementation is the key to discovering your true self. For the first time ever I decided to paint my toe nails and let me tell you, I really like it. I dont know why I like it but who cares lol. I like looking down at my toes and seeing color. I recently started wearing a silver figaro style anklet and it looks super cute on my trimmed legs. I do enjoy being masculine but I also love to be feminine in certain ways. Its all bout the perfect balance for me. I think most can stay at home and doesnt need to be shown to the world but its always good to be confident and happy with what you do wear out into the world. If you feel uncomfortable, do not wear it out. If you feel nervous and/or are worried what other might think, just do it. Your future self will definitely thank your past self. What others think, should have no effect on how you feel. Thank you soo much XDRESS AND BODYAWARE for being in my life the past 10 years. You all are great and make the men and women of this world much happier. This is my story and thank you to every one else that has shared theirs.
Love, Joe.
Rodri, So happy to hear of your wife’s engagement and appreciation of part of what makes you, you. My girlfriend now has done more shopping on this site than I have. She just surprised me with two satin bra and panty sets. We also go out and shop in brick and mortar stores and have matching satin panty and nighty sets. Last Sunday I was requested to do a cat walk for her. That was fun. Our journey has been a lot of fun, and so much better that I don’t have to be all secretive about it. Good one you for taking the first step.
Hi Rodri
Thats great news
Please post a pic clean of course of your outfit with review
Consider how lucky u r shes on board
Thanks for the recommendations Stevie and Scott. I showed my wife the xdress website (she was as unaware as I was previously, that lingerie made for men was such a thing) and have done some online shopping taking your advice and her thoughts into account. I’m now awaiting delivery of matching xdress satin panties and bra along with a lace garter and seamed stockings (and following my wife’s suggestion, I’ve also ordered some heels to accompany the outfit from elsewhere). When everything arrives, maybe I’ll update you with the developments in our xdress experimentation. Thanks, Rodri
Rodri-
Nice post! I would start with at least:
Panties: Anything SATIN, but try to match the garter if possible, or offer a contrasting color, like white.
Garter: Lace garter Belt, again, matched or contrasting to panties.
Stockings: Hosiery at XDress is nice, I’d go Stay Up Micro Net Stockings in black. They cover the leg hair better than say a white version.
If you end up liking and find a groove, try a corset. Very flirty!
Anything you try will be adventurous and I am sure your SO will love it!
