For so many years I have been using a manly blue toothbrush. About 6 months ago whilst out doing the weekly shop I bought a replica brush but in pink. It does exactly the same job but looks so right whilst the blue one always looked so male. This baffles me but I know it's a huge part of the condition. This week I did the weekly shop alone ( my wife and I normally go together) - I bought myself a Lidl own brand of womens deodorant instead of the male ice cool one I normally get - I have been using it for two days and I feel like a million dollars - it's not an overbearing femme smell but it is certainly femme. It's doing exactly the same job as my old deodorant but feels 100% right. The mind is a weird beast
I always buy a pink toothbrush ... and I ditched 'male' deodorants years ago. Currently my deodorant is Sure 'Bright Bouquet' 🙂
Last January, at my sister's urging (yes, my sister knows I'm trans), I started wearing 'CK1' perfume. It's marketed as unisex, but to me it smells very feminine. And you know what? Nobody noticed.

Anything that makes you feel better about yourself is an investment as far as I'm concerned.
Everything I buy now is made for women or is unisex.
My sonic toothbrush is white and red (one of my fave colors). My deodorant is Secret Powder Fresh. I use spa bath soap that's good for my skin. I use gentle facial cleanser and moisturizer. I haven't worn men's clothes in almost three years.
I'm trans. Why would I buy things made for a guy?
Those choices are little affirmations of who I am.

@sallybchester I use shower gel from Lush or Molton Brown and feminine Sure deodorant. I use a sensitive (and unscented) shaving gel.
Perfume is Pepper Earth.
My toothbrush is purple - so we don't mix them up.

@sallybchester I haven’t changed my toothbrush yet but gave up on male deodorant a few years ago. I can’t use men’s now as it bothers my skin. And I women’s perfume most of the time other then when at work.
I haven't used male deodorant for many years. My wife and I use the same one.
I keep a blue toothbrush so I remember which one is mine.... It sounds silly, but my colour vision is a bit weird. I stick with a bright blue. My son has a purple toothbrush.... A normal blue brush looks the same as his purple one to me.... I have to "learn" my toothbrush 🙂
I've taken to carrying a purse (a UK purse. a thing you put money and cards in) when in man mode.
I don't own any male underwear.
Whilst I have a couple of very nice male watches, I tend to wear a female watch.
I Always wear earrings. Sometimes obviously girly dangly ones.
As you say, it's the small things that make the drab life bearable.

My favorite is Secret Lavender spray. Very pleasing scent.
A great topic Sally. Been using ladies deodorant for years now. I found that the male varieties sting or burn so. Good idea on the toothbrush. I try to use a purple one.

I use Secret deodorant, and you know what? It's the best one I've ever used. And now my wife and I have simplified our shopping! 🙂
I also use the Venus razor to shave my body, as it doesn't hack up my skin like male-orientated razors do. And my skin feels smoother afterwards. See what happens when you open up to new experiences?
Interesting topic.
I wear earrings 24/7 and sometimes wear dangling ones though nothing too flashy. I also wear bracelets 24/7, they look a bit manly but can be considered femme. I got one of them at a craft show and the woman at the booth told me it was a female bracelet, I told her it was okay. My nails are polished all the time, while it may be clear with a pink tinge they are gel and shiny. Recently I received some compliments on them which was nice. I use Venus razors when shaving my body, I love the colors and they feel so good when I'm shaving. I use Oil of Olay lotion on my face almost every day and moisturize as well. I haven't purchased feminine deodorant yet but that is one of my next feminine product purchases. I have a purse that I carry for my phone, notebook, pen, emery board, chap stick and I have a caribiner attached to it with a couple cute keychains, hand sanitizer and small bag with tylenol and band aids. This past weekend I was gifted a cute hand sanitizer/lotion holder in the shape of a dog paw that is fuzzy tan with heart shaped paw pads along with bottles of lotion and hand sanitizer for it (came from Bath and Bodyworks) - a birthday present from my dog.
It is fun doing these girly things without anyone really noticing or knowing why.

Showing my age now and off at a tangent, I recall a Max Bygraves hit of 1959 about a pink toothbrush and a blue toothbrush which stated that we use the same toothpaste...so toothpaste has always been gender neutral..
Hi Sally, I'm sort of a minimalist and just use what works for me. I use Lady Speed Stick Gel and have a white electric toothbrush. I rarely shave (mostly to plane my face since I'm hairless) but do use a Venus razor when I do. All my clothes are women's or unisex and I don't use perfume or scents (I'm deathly allergic). I do have a bushel basket of assorted shampoo, hair stuff, makeup and lotions and am still not happy with my look but can live with it. Anyway, each day I get up and put myself together as best I can in the time allotted and then go out and live life. The only time I really stick out is when I'm going out to an event and then I'm really dressed up otherwise, I just blend in like everyone else. Safe Journey, Marg
