laundering your girl clothes

Hi Michelle,

No and I never did in past relationships. I feel so badly for you, it must be so difficult to live like that and it's probably not very good for your clothing as well. In the past I would concern myself with my spouse's objections more than I do today, but then my present SO is very accepting and loves me no matter what I wear. But I always had the attitude that this is me and I'm not going to hide in my own house, (that I payed for). Personally, I would do my laundry and hang it to dry in the bathroom, basement, where ever you hang your clothes, and if she doesn't like it, too bad. Doesn't she hang her items to dry in the house? Why the double standard?? Simply because your not physically female?? Not a good argument in my book!! I have heard so many CD's complain that the wife or SO doesn't approve of their x-dressing and I do sympathize with their situation, but if I am paying the bills in my house I am surely going to live as I choose. Maybe my way is a bit too blunt for you but if I were in your shoes I would be talking to the wife trying to get her to understand your needs and stop putting your clothing in the trunk to dry!!! Best of Luck Hon!!!

Hugs, Breanna

Thanks for the encouragement. I really don't think she cares as much as I still feel a little embarrassed by it, with her anyway. At 70, I have come a long way in the last 10 years. Used to be I would think I would die if anyone knew my secret,,, now it's kinda fun to reveal my true self... but only with other women. Some even go as far as saying those magic words..."I see you as a woman regardless of what you are wearing..."

I do feel bad for you. My wife and I have an understanding that all clothing needs to be washed on occasion. With that being said She knows that my bras, panties and others do need some attention from time to time. Especially after I told her, would you wear the same underwear over and over again with out being washed. Now she is ok with it. Plus since I do the laundry anyway I can treat my things with care as I do hers. Communication is key here. Have that talk and find a middle ground you can both be happy with.

lucky you

I do the laundry here, so no problems. Panties and hosiery are placed in a nylon mesh bag and washed with my other girl clothes on the "gentle" cycle. Takes about 30 minutes; could you catch your wife away long enough? I hand wash bras, but they could be washed and dried in a separate nylon bag if no better options are available.

My SO is ok with me washing my cloths, as they have to be cleaned, this did take a bit of time we hang them on a cloths dryer in the bedroom so the kids will not see them

Hi Michelle , my wife knows all about my crossdressing , supports it & knows I underdress daily , out of courtesy I put my woman's panties in a separate laundry tub. I mainly take care of the laundry ( I'm housewife also ) but we wash everything together . Again out of courtesy I hang my panties at the rear of the washing line , just so they're not in her face . Ironically my wife hangs them anywhere on the line.  I try to do little things like this so she knows in not taking her for granted  xx Tiff ☺

Hello Michelle,               Sorry that you have this problem, I had the same problem up to last year when my parent excepted my CD. I can wash my clothes & hang them up indoors [ putting them outside on the washing line would get some strange questions from my neighbours] & he is ok with that. I useally hand wash my undies & hang them up in the bathroom. I do use the washing machine for the other clothes, but still hang them up to dry indoors. As I said he excepts my CD, but at the moment he has not seen me fully dressed, but in time he says he will be ok with seeing me dressed. So it is a matter of talking to her & compromising on the laundering side of things.

love,  Helenmarie

My problem is different. I am required to do all the laundry. She is very particular about wrinkles, so attention to details is a must. All of our panties go into the same stack, but her bras are a different size. She is 34C and I am 42C. And yes, they are my own natural breasts. They came in with puberty just like my older sister si I just thought it was part of growing up.

I wash my lingerie in the laundry basin once a week when my SO is absent and take it to my (Multi purpose!!) storage locker about half an hour from home. Its 10 x10ft and combines most of my femme gear on racks,  hangers and in a wardrobe with storage for other things like guitars and amplifiers.

The laundry goes on a collapsible clothes hanger/dryer and I leave it there for a couple of days.

My SO and I live the "DADT" thing about Caty, so that's why it is the way it is.

She's away for four days right now, so I'm having some qaulity Caty time, including machine washing my lovely femme PJ's and hanging them and some of my lingerie on the line.

Ah CD bliss

Hi Caty... sounds like a lot of work but I know it is all well worth the effort. and when we get that quality girl time it is that much more fantastic!! Fortunately for me I don't have to use the trunk of my car as often as I used to. Hugs, Michelle

Hi Michelle. I always wash my girl stuff with my work uniform so there is no mix-ups or finding items I have to answer for.

Hi Michelle

Ours is another home of things being out in the open and accepted so my clothes aren't hidden. I do look after the bulk of the laundry, mostly because I generally take more care in it. My gf while growing up didn't really get taught anything to do with running a home, laundry or cooking etc.. She doesn't sort well and didn't know what a garment bag was used for lol. She gets amused when she finds some of OUR finer intimates hung over the shower curtain.
