Since I am just starting down this road I thought I would share what I have been doing/going thru lately.
So I have come out to my female roommate about 2 weeks ago, and just 2 days ago I went with her to goodwill and we picked out a few items for me (a skirt and two tops plus a pair of black flats). All I had up to then was a crappy dress. I am loving the new clothes and she was able to better help me find my size in clothes (she is close to my size), and this is the first pair of shoes for me as well.
Also, even well before I thought of myself as femme, I have hated how much hair I have on my body. So after I had my new clothes, I decided I wanted to get rid of my hair. Now, I am not claiming to have done this the best or smartest way, but I had gotten a bottle of Veet hair removal and thought that would be the way to go. Figured it would be smoother and last longer than shaving, oh and faster too. Well, it took three hours, it was a big mess, it did not get it all, and it was left stubbly like after a shave anyway. I know I learned a lot that day about a better way to have done that, but when I was done and I looked at my, mainly, hairless body (had not cut my hair, was too tired at that point) I loved the look of me. That was the first time I have not had hair on my body and I felt super femme. Plus I have some fat on me and my moobs looked way more like real breasts to me!!! I loved it and I am going to find the best way going forward to help me stay this way. (I did read the post about the epilator and will read up on it too).
Also I am work from home but today I felt so good to be able to wear nicer womens clothes today, I am so ready to get more and dress up more often.
Anyway, just felt really good and wanted to share, yall have a great day!!
Hi Kris! Glad to hear you have a roommate to share and go shopping with, that has to be such a positive boost for you. That smooth shaved look and feel real does make a difference doesn't it? The only critical place for hair is on your head, something that becomes more difficult as we get older! Dont beat yourself if the first hair removal attempt didn't go perfect, it went well enough, and it will just get better!

Nothing like that freshly shaved body feel.
Speaking for myself, I enjoy the process of getting ready just as much as the end result. Soaking in a tub, shaving, putting all the under garments on etc.
Give shaving a try after soaking for a while. If you really want to get into it try a bath oil. I actually use coconut oil found at your nearest grocery store to add to the water. I suggested using coconut oil to my wife and now she’s hooked on using it as well. It really softens the skin and hair and you don’t come out all greasy unless you add too much.
I also saw a tip on Pinterest that popping a ibuprofen or two can reduce any inflammation your body might have for a closer shave. Seems to work well for me any way. Thanks for sharing, good luck!
Yep! The thing that has made me feel my most femmy is when I have soft smooth skin all over as well as a nicely made wig.
you go girl!

I did have a big jar of coconut oil under the bathroom sink (found out about that from my ex gf) and for some reason it was no longer there, so I am going to have to get some more again. But currently I am under a lot of snow (for us) and most of the roads are not very good. Will have to wait for a few days. I was very disappointed when I could not find it because I have always wanted to see how that felt. I had tried before but lets just say that lots of body hair and coconut oil just dont go well together 😀
That is true, a bathtub full of hair floating around is not relaxing 🤮. I fill up an old ice cream bucket and set it next to the tub to shake off the hair from my razor seems to help, I also try to trim it with a hair clipper before hand.
i have gotten greasy from time to time from coconut oil, but I just rinse it with a shower which also washes the excess hair down the drain.
being in Minnesota I feel your pain with the weather. -22 this morning when I got into my car lucky enough not to have the snow though. Stay safe down there.
Hi Kris nice to meet you and thats such a wonder feeling to be smooth and hairless isnt it .. Also to have a female roommate to help you with the ways of a woman is a special thing just do something nice for her as a thankyou for her help .. She is a woman that can help with clothing and someday when adventerious on a rainy day and cant go out get her to help with a makeup lesson its allways fun and she will make you look so pretty not as a clown so much fun . Just ask and take notes on what to get and maybe she will go with to get things you need ok enough girly soap box ha ha have fun girl ..

Hi Kris nice to meet you its sounds like your discovering yourself more & more, and really enjoying the journey. What a fabulous helpful friend you have she sounds great, I find the secret to a smooth hairless body, is a nice long soak and full body wet shave twice a week. I like to moisturize get some female moisturizing body lotion, it feels nice and smells lovely.
Best Wishes

RachelAnn I completely agree with you soak in the bath and then shave in the bath, I haven't tried coconut oil yet but I will try it. Ibruprofen in the bath is interesting, a 400 mg Ibruprofen tablet acts exactly the same as an anti inflamatory tablet. Putting on new or fresh clothing is a lovely feeling, then getting made up wonderful.
Happy you found somebody you can share this with.
