Are you excited to embrace your fabulous female self? Having the right tools is key!
While some transgender / crossdressing supplies are obvious, there are important items you might not have considered that can help you look and feel your best as a woman.
In this blog post, I share 10 must-have essentials for your male to female transformation journey.
1. Breast Forms
Breasts are arguably the most feminine part of a woman’s body.
If you don’t possess your own natural curves, then investing in a pair of breast forms is a must for any crossdresser or transgender woman. (Of course, you’ll also need a cute bra to put them in!)
2. Color Corrector
Dealing with a visible beard shadow can be a major challenge in putting your best face forward.
Although it may be tempting to camouflage it with thick concealer, the result never appears natural.
Instead, invest in a pink or red color corrector to help neutralize the tone of your beard shadow. This enables you to use less makeup and achieve a more natural and feminine appearance.

3. Body Shaper
A body shaper is a versatile garment that offers multiple benefits, including waist trimming, belly flattening, and overall shape smoothing.
Body shapers come in a variety of styles. Opt for a brief style to wear under shorter skirts and a thigh-length style for pants and longer skirts.
To feminize your lower body, look for a body shaper with hip and butt padding to create the illusion of curves.
4. Perfume
The right perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine!
The secret is to choose a fragrance that matches the qualities you want to express. Here are some simple guidelines:
- Go for floral scents if you want to express your romantic side.
- Choose oriental or woody scents if you want to bring out your inner seductress.

5. Black Pantyhose Or Tights
While bare legs may be fashionable, there’s nothing quite like the sophisticated appeal of hosiery. Classic black pantyhose or tights, in particular, are a style must-have.
When opting for pantyhose, choose the sheerest hose available and stick to jet black. Avoid shades like gray-black or brown-black.
Alternatively, you can go for opaque tights for a more casual and youthful look.
6. Lipstick
Studies show that a woman’s lips are considered the most attractive part of her body, particularly when accentuated with lipstick.
It goes without saying that lipstick is an essential item that will instantly make you look more feminine and attractive.
7. Classic Pumps
Shoes say more about you than any other accessory. When it comes to making a statement, you can’t go wrong with a timeless pair of black pumps.
Classic black pumps exude sexiness, femininity, and work well with many types of clothes.
8. Moisturizer
Due to higher testosterone levels, males tend to have rougher skin compared to women.
That’s why it’s essential to incorporate a daily facial moisturizer into your routine, whether you’re presenting as your feminine self or not.
By using moisturizer regularly, you can achieve smoother-looking skin and enhance the application and longevity of your makeup.
9. Little Black Dress
The little black dress is a wardrobe staple every crossdresser and transgender woman should own. A simple black dress in a flattering length can go from day to night and will never go out of style.
10. Attitude
Lastly, the key to it all is your attitude – and it’s absolutely crucial!
The way people treat you often reflects how you expect to be treated. So, embrace your femininity and radiate fabulousness with confidence. You deserve nothing less, girlfriend!

I think padded hip and butt pads and a good wig are a must have as well as your 10 items, being quite slim ( uk 10/12 ) the padding adds those feminine curves I want.
I try my best to reveal my most fabulous feminine self .
do consider I succed doing it ?
I recommend wearing padded panties from Classic Curves. I wear mine every day and they totally feminize my hips and butt. I also wear pantyhose almost every day and while I wear black from time to time, my regular every day look is the nude sheer pantyhose from Berkshire. After showering I apply Mary Kay Toning Lotion to my legs and feet. I also have tried press on nails in red and it totally feminizes my hands. I love how they make me look and feel!
I don’t wear breastforms any more because HRT has now given me my own! But i used to LOVE my breastforms that i made at home. I made them out of wheat and pantyhose. Despite what people say about their being uncomfortable and looking a bit off, they felt the most comfortable, gave the best look of anything i tried and they smelt divine. However, to make them work, you do need a high quality padded bra: it makes a “wall” at the front that holds everything firmly in place and then the wheat/rice breast sizer fills the space between the bra and your chest or growing breast in my case. I used to love the scent of the wheat when i wafted up owing to my bodyheat. I still have them and sometimes sniff the wheat to remember those lovely days of early transition.
Lipstick, perfume and shaper pants. Love all of these. Particularly perfume. I love what scent does to my mood. My favorites are Viktor & Rolfe “Flowerbomb”, Fragonard “Reine des Coeurs” and Jo Malone Patchouli and Lupins. The first makes me think of a forest in the Summer, the second is just so unusual and wonderful and Patchouli and Lupins has an earthy bottom note that i love.
Omg that’s terrable, I know I’m a year later but if really recommend something to use as self defence like a taser or something because you should be you and not have to worry and people
Be happy with what you are and being what you are doing
Unfortunately, I only get to dress up occasionally when I have some private time. Once or twice a month. Even then, I am taking a risk of getting caught. I have mostly all of what I need as far as dressing as a woman (safely tucked) away.
With one exception: Even though I am happily married, there is no one I can confide in to offer me their opinions and suggestions for improvement on how I look or walk. Dressing as a woman simply brings a fulfilled feeling to me. Nice list overall here….Thanks!
Teelee, I totally feel you. I’m a closeted CD and I don’t even get to do it as often as you. But when I do, it’s like I was meant to be a woman. I feel so natural. I can’t come out due to family issues, so I must continue to live this secret life. I only dress when my wife is out of town and I have no chance of her catching me. And I agree, it is so hard to get other people’s opinions. So far I have a positive reaction when I go out in public. I’m tall though, so I think it must be pretty obvious to everyone that I’m a CD. But I’ve gotten over my initial nerves. Now it’s just a huge rush and an empowering feeling. Kisses!
Look on the web for a gender dysphoria clinic near you. They cant help you with what you need
