Hi again guys and gurls. I’ve so enjoyed reading your posts on this blog. I’ve stayed out of the conversation so others could carry on conversations and share stories and questions. It seems that we cover a broad span of experience, from those just starting to explore underdressing to those who are old hands at it. To the old hands – thank you for the gentle and caring guidance you are offering to those who are new to this wonderful and fascinating experience of exploring the feminine side of who we know ourselves to be. This has been such enjoyable reading, and I hope you all will continue this blog’s conversation. I have no doubt that many of the responses here are helping others who are not so sure about their journey. Above all of the conversation and sharing is an over-arching joy of daring to be different. Thank you all for your sharing! Now, get out there and buy something pretty!
Fond regards,
Angie

Hey John I m with you
Bra panty match is the bomb

Zack, I like your thoughts on women moving towards plain panties and allowing men to move towards feminine styles. What a wonderful world that would be! And I second your idea of an Xdress shop, I would be the first in line. There is nothing like being able to feel the fabrics which is always missing from the online experience.

Also wanted to mention that I love wearing bras as well. Panties and a bra is such a sexy look together. I don’t usually wear bras out because they are harder to hide unless I’m wearing a thicker shirt but winter is coming so that may very well be an opportunity. I’d like to see XDRESS offer more selection that hooks in the back rather than the type you just pull over your head. The hook style gives that little bit of extra mental tingle that you are doing something feminine. How many guys can say they are proficient at hooking a bra on themselves from the back without looking? Hehehe.

Thank you all for the support. It is definitely helping. I actually went out the other night for dinner in a thong and a sports bra, first time wearing a bra out, and had a good time. Nervous but it was fun.

I’m looking forward to my first pair of XD panties. I’ve tried thongs by iKingsky and jockey, but each have focused on a compression front that actually causes me some pain, funny considering I wear compression styled boxers. How have y’all’s experience been with the front of these?

Thank you again,
G

There is undeniably a cultural shift going on where female empowerment is no longer defined by women’s sexuality, and as a result women are no longer feeling the need to dress for men, but rather for themselves. As a result, there are new women’s u/wear brands coming along that are very basic in color and shape, designed purely for comfort. You see the decline in VS and the rise of companies like Spanx and Pansy. Its almost like there has been a switch where women are choosing the plain styles that men have been stuck with for decades as it makes them feel more confident, while more and more men are choosing to wear the feminine styles that make us feel more sexy and in touch with our true selves, shrugging off the need to portray a 100% macho image that starts with wearing tough ugly underwear. I think Xdress was way ahead of its time when it started (I believe 20 yrs ago), and I love the current speed of this change where men can wear what they like. I look forward to the day when I can go in a regular department store and head for the men’s lingerie department without any embarrassment. Perhaps Xdress will open a lingerie store, here’s hoping!

To John and G:

Your hesitation to wear panties full time seems to be as G stated, you are hardwired to think about what is and isn’t acceptable. This is most likely because you grew up in a very black and white society, one which dictated what certain groups are allowed to do.

However, the existence of websites such as this are indicative of a world which has gray areas. Specifically in this case, men that wear lingerie.

I want to wholeheartedly assure anyone here who is having second thoughts about wearing panties full time, or any other feminine clothing for that matter, that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You are allowed to wear what you prefer, just as women do.

Do not let social stigmas and the opinions of others affect your choices. Once you truly accept this side of yourself, the world becomes a better place. You have just one life on this Earth, do not spend it limiting yourself.

Hello everyone. I have been a long time Panty wearer since my teens. Transitioned to everyday almost 20 years ago now. I still buy many pairs from department stores with my wife as that allows us to buy matching sets for which we love to do together. However, when buying online it is exclusively from XD in fact my everyday Panties are from XD. I have started recently with bras but cannot see that everyday but instead more with playtime.

I agree that you must go slow and talk with your wife. I have always done this with my past relationships and my wife. This allows her to comprehend your needs and wants without feeling threaten about your relationship or a piece of clothing. This could be the very first time she has ever come across someone who doesn’t subscribe to the typical boxer male norm and might have further questions or apprehensions. But communication is the key … just don’t overload all at once. My experience has been positive and most have been overwhelmingly accepting and even enjoying their man in panties. It’s creates such a closeness and bond with your wife that only men who wear panties can relate too and understand. So yes the benefits far exceed the risks. Besides who want to live their life as someone else’s expectation.

Anyway, be yourself and buy some new panties today.

Hi there John and G
It’s not necessarily an issue. You can wear what you like either way. Let’s face it, few women put on high heels and a sexy skirt if they are just chillin around the house or going shopping for groceries.
I love xdress panties because they are so pretty and so comfortable – girls’ panties just don’t fit in the right places. I like tangas best as they are barely there yet don’t cut me up the wrong place like a thong. Making sure you have panties that are comfortable is key. That might not be the case if you find you are wearing boxers or Ys. Have a drawer full of comfy undies of different styles and put on what feels best. A satin tanga does for me quite nicely.

To John and G
Don’t worry about posting to much. I dont think u can find a better place to openly and cleanly discuss issues with panty wearing and lingerie
As for full time panty wear, dont worry about it. If you want to go ahead ( i simply took my male undies out of the drawer and replaced them with panties save a few for doctor visits)
Either panties or male undies is ok its whatever you want

Same mental anguish John. I think it has a lot to do with how we can be hardwired to think what is and isn’t acceptable.

G

Sorry if posting too much. Just a conversation close to home at this current time. Trying to explore a little and it feels nice to have a group you can openly talk with about this

I have worn panties on and off for years. My favorite by far is the thong but I also like wearing bikinis (especially if they frame the butt nicely). I’m not a huge fan of lace (I find it irritating and not stretchy enough). Love satin / lycra / nylon materials. It’s fantastic that more online retailers seem to be catering to us gurls who like to wear panties. It’s also great to see just how many of us gurls are out there. We have to break the stereotype in society that it is somehow wrong for men to enjoy feminine clothing. It’s a preference, it’s not “wrong”. Like everything else some people will really dig it and others won’t but we have to stop telling men there is something wrong with it. I still slip and go back to male underwear often unfortunately. Sometimes I’m not in the mood to wear panties even though I want to on some level. I want to get over the mental hump and wear panties full time but I always seem to take one step forward and two steps backward. Anyone else have this conflict where you want to be a full time panty gurl but sometimes you just aren’t in the mood and throw on the boxers? Were you able to get past this plateau and if so how did you do it?

Nathan Ally and G great advice
I agree with all of your advice. A MAN in panties can be Hott! For a lot of women… there is something erotic and naughty about it… like you shouldn’t be wearing them. Samuel She may like it. From there playing in the bedroom eventually begs for stockings a bra or both then of course stockings need heels and so it goes on. Now sometimes she may only be into panties and if so thats her limit( hope not!)
Ally you and i are definitely on the same page nothing allows a pretty panty and bra set with stockings and garter better than a suit! I wear that a lot in fall and winter. For me my toes must be painted which fortunately she allows
Thanks to everyone for all the support

Hi everyone
Lovely to see how everyone is sharing their enjoyment of wearing beautiful panties and lingerie. It’s wonderful to know that we allhave this in common and support each other. I can’t help feeling such warmth and happiness when I read your stories. I love stepping out in my panties and hold ups. Xdress pink satin summer rose panties with matching bra and small breast form inserts is my favourite – usually under my nicely cut suit and increasingly teamed with modest heels and a borderline unisex handbag and light make-up.
It’s such a lovely feeling to know you all feel the same.

Samuel, just like G and Stevie said, you really do need to start slowly and approach your wife with one thing at a time. If you suddenly reveal that you want to cross-dress daily, wear makeup, and shave your body hair etc, then her brain will be overloaded and confused. So start with small things.

Say you start with underwear. Explain your reasoning for wanting to wear panties, whether it be for comfort, or just the pure fact you enjoy the styles more. You can also mention there are options made for men, which may make it easier for her to accept. You can also offer to model some for her, and your woman may be surprised about how much she enjoys seeing you in them.

Her reaction to this alone should give you a pretty good idea as to how she will react to the other things. Just be patient, and remember to still be sure to remind her that despite your feminine desires, you are still her man.

Good stuff Stevie and thank you for the welcome. Samuel I have nothing more to add besides the old cheesy line of being patient and breaking the honesty up into pieces. The way I had gone about it, which was definitely not perfect, and this is not meant as a brag, was that I first admitted it was a fetish of mine, after time I admitted that I liked wearing them a lot and would like to do so regularly, and slowly have gotten to the point where I told all, in so many words. That being said, if she sees me in panties she’s prefers them in more masculine styles and colors and admitted it is okay to wear bras but not in her presence. This has gone down over the course of years and even saw me going through some pretty heavy personal anxiety, I was a bit of a bonehead and went 0-100 in a minute and wore them out in public a lot. I wasn’t ready for it and am even still taking it slow. I’m now happy to say I got my first bras, sports style, and am currently purchasing my first 2 pairs of XD panties. Hope my personal situation helps in any way. Enjoy the reading and wish you all the best.

Samuel, I feel your pain! But you can wear a blank tank over the bra with a sports jacket and stockings in winter wont be seen
As for your wife look at it from her point of view: its hard for them to understand that 1. We r not gay and 2. That we dont want to transition 3. That they are losing their man…
so like you i dress in private and to work. My wife knows I wear panties and i did confess to her that i am a crossdresser. Shes tolerant but not participatory.
Hang around here where you are welcome
We love all right gurlz!

Ah Angie, Another great topic. I wear panties most days to work, mostly purchased from here, although I have a couple from another online store. I love choosing each day which ones I am going to wear. I would love to extend to wearing a matching bra too, but under my office shirt, it would show unfortunately as I don’t wear anything over my shirt. I have occasionally worn a camisole as that doesn’t notice and the feel of the satin gliding over my nipples is very erotic. How do others manage to disguise this?

I first started when I was probably around 12 years of age and just love the feel. Many years ago, shortly after I was married, I bought my wife some lovely panties that were lace in the front and silky at the back – she wouldn’t wear them, so unbeknown to her, I did! I loved them.

As I have mentioned before, my wife is not aware, so I can’t share this part of me with her. I have tried talking about it to her in general terms such, but she wasn’t happy! I occasionally work from home and am alone in the house. Then I can wear matching bra and panties along with stockings and suspenders. Then I love seeing them on, so won’t wear clothes over them, unless I am going out, then a polo shirt and trousers will be worn over the top.

Thanks again Angie.

Samuel

Hi G
Welcome to the best place in the net to buy and discuss lingerie for men. You will find every version accepted here
Wear something pretty today!

Another great topic and one that is very appropriate for our community. I have been wearing panties for years. Usually on the weekend or on my days off and also when I am on vacation. I like the smooth satin feel and small or no seams. Started wearing panties in my 20’s for the reason that I thought they would be more comfortable than men’s briefs. I do wear a bra sometimes—especially like a sports bra as they tend to be a better fit. I finally convinced my boyfriend to try panties and he now finds them more comfortable than men’s briefs.
A great topic that will produce a lot of discussion. Looking forward to more topics covering subjects like gloves, shoes, panty hose, and purses—all favorites of mine!

Hey Angie,

First time commenter. I’ve always wanted to say something and appreciate everyone’s acceptance here.

I grew up mostly around my mother and sister with a father that worked a lot and a brother too old to hang out with a younger brother. I first started wearing panties when I would sneak in and grab some of my sister’s underwear and bras. There was always a thrill and feminine sensation to it all. That went on up until when I finished college.

I then purchased a couple of my own pairs from VS but each time I feared what my now wife and others would think and got rid of them.

Fast forward a couple years and I’ve again purchased some more, the sensation too much to resist. I’ve also had several talks with my wife and she has come to accept what I like to wear and does not mind seeing me in them.

My struggle has always been the anxiety that has come with sometimes wearing panties and bras. There has been a fear of what someone would think. Now I’m learning that I don’t care as much because I like the way they feel and that it’s part of who I am.

I mostly purchase from aerie and stores from amazon and recently bought a couple sports bras from fruit of the loom. I would like to get something from XD soon, your styles and fits look amazing. I just simply need to work on being more comfortable with wearing what I ultimately want.

Hopefully this wasn’t too long. Thank you to those who read and for the blog.

What a wonderful topic! I too love going shopping with my wife and looking at all the pretty panties in the stores like Marks & Spencers, seeing the wide range of colors and fabrics. We often do this on my birthday or Christmas when she promises to buy me something pretty I go with a slight feeling of trepidation, but also excitement, as I know she will be testing the stretch of the front of the panties for fit and maybe holding them up against me and asking me if I like them, while I pretend disinterest when other women are nearby! I am in my 40’s and clearly not as brave as Nathan, but I am really happy that the younger people in their 20’s are so accepting and even think its cool to be non gender conforming.

I love what my wife chooses for me, but for everyday wear, they are often not the best fit and can become uncomfortable at the front crotch area where the legs cut into my male areas. I have had the most success with bigger store bought panties like boy shorts and sometimes hipsters if the fabric is really stretchy, but anything like bikinis,tangas and thongs are always too narrow at the front. So for my wearable panties I buy Xdress as I can be sure they will fit comfortably in the crotch and won’t have loads of excess fabric in the back. I probably have about 15-20 XD pairs that I have bought in the last couple of years, AT the moment I am wearing the satin brazil panty, I have 3 colors of these and hope they will bring out more. I also love the ribbed picot panties and camisoles with contrasting elastic, as the fabric is super soft and stretchy. What do other readers like best from XD? Thank you XD for hosting this great blog and thank you Angie for writing about my all time favourite topic!

Hello Angie, and thank you for the shout out on this topic!

I definitely wear panties daily, and currently own about 30 pairs or so. I primarily get them from either Frederick’s or VS, but also have a decent amount from XD/BA. I am a Goth so they are primarily black, but I do have a few pairs in beautiful reds and purples as well. I typically am attracted to satin, lace & mesh styles, since they are just simply alluring. I also have two bras tailored for the male physique, and a garter belt. I plan to buy many, many more in the future. I do have 2 pairs of men’s briefs, and I wear these at the gym or for security for other occasions that call for it.

Panties are in fact at the genesis of my cross-dressing, as I started wearing my sisters’ at a young age of 8. The second I tried them on for the first time, I knew that it was a part of who I am. I progressed from panties, to pantyhose, to high heels, and finally to outerwear. I never really was into bras, though. My dressing remained incognito from ages 7-21, and I only indulged in my desires on the rare occasions I was home alone. Every time I did so however, I experienced a euphoria unlike any other.

Currently, I have only purchased lingerie online. I have purchased blouses, skirts, dresses, and heels in physical stores with my girlfriend, however. It is quite coincidental this blog was posted this week though, as my girlfriend and I plan to go to VS this Friday to get ourselves some new panties. I am definitely excited, and not at all nervous to do it.

I want to touch on a comment of Keri’s, regarding the future of young men being bright. I can wholeheartedly attest to this fact, at the age of 22. The reason being that every single day, I am cross-dressed head to toe in public and my place of work, and never receive any flak from neither strangers nor my wonderful GF. This is especially surprising to me, since I present myself very femininely (mini skirts, lace tops, 4"+ heels, pantyhose, lipstick, painted nails). The only time I receive comments, are compliments from other women on either my shoes or outfit in general. What a lovely feeling that is!

I hope to be an inspiration to those younger (or older) than myself that see me in public, to let go of their inhibitions and just be themselves. The world is indeed becoming more accepting, and what better feeling is there to be yourself?

Thank you to all who have read this far, and I wish you all well on this journey we share!

Ooohh one of my favorite things. I LUV panties of all kinds but my faves are the smooth satin or cotton blends as I find the lace ones a bit scratchy, although I do think they look sexy. I started in college by “borrowing”my then GFs panties – with her permission and approval of course- and haven’t stopped since! I do online and brick and mortar shopping, usually with my GF who lets me know what she likes or what she thinks looks good on me. We’ve never had any problems with VS or other stores including the big department stores as far as getting stares or other strange reactions from the sales associates. Thankfully they’ve all been very polite and even supportive.
One bonus is that most places have unisex fitting rooms so we’ve not had any issues trying on panties or other clothes

Anyway, we always have a great time shopping and usually it turns into an expensive trip because we find it hard to stop just with panties and lingerie, so we have bags of shoes, jeans etc.!!
My GF says it’s as much fun going shopping with me as with her female friends haha.

You gurlz have a blast with your panties and as Angie says, wear something pretty today!!!

What a great blog topic! I concur with the description of the emotion every morning when I get up, and choose my daily pair. Moods are different every day, depending on what I’m doing at work. If presenting, I’m usually have to be dressed in slacks, button down and a blazer. What a perfect opportunity for my best garter, thigh highs, and panties! I’ve also collected some friends, male and female, that love daily pictures of what I’m wearing in the morning before I head off to work. Some even shop for me, and before I knew it, my collection is way more than my girlfriend’s!

For convenience, I enjoy Xdress/Bodyaware, VS, and Soma. But every once in awhile, I do enjoy walking into VS, and asking to use the dressing rooms. Staff never quite knows what to say to me and I live for their reactions. Having lost a significant amount of weight, I love taking an afternoon to add to my collection.

Thank you again for this blog and medium to discuss all of this. It’s always fascinating to me how many men there are out there that love the undressing of their intimates.
