There’s nothing like treating your feminine self to a new piece of lingerie.
While everybody loves a bargain, some things are worth spending a bit more on. Quality items tend to fit better, last longer, and make you look amazing. Who doesn’t want that from their lingerie?
Read on for 5 lingerie pieces worth the splurge.
1. High quality pantyhose
Is there a difference between drugstore pantyhose and higher end brands like Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, and Wolford?
Yes! Quality hosiery looks and feels more luxurious – and most importantly, lasts longer. Unlike cheap pantyhose that runs within a day, quality hosiery should last you for many wearings.
2. Perfectly-fitted hip and butt pads
Nothing says “woman” like a shapely lower body. Unfortunately, most padded panties out there don’t suit crossdressers and transgender women. They look unnatural with pads that are the wrong size or shape.
Instead, consider investing in a high quality hip & butt enhancer from a vendor like Classic Curves. While these garments run $195+, they are custom made to your body and will last for years. Best of all, they provide curves in all the right places.
3. Silk pajamas
There’s nothing like the feel of real silk. I believe every girl (including you!) should have genuine silk pajamas in her collection.
Whether it’s a slinky nightgown or a classic pajama pant set, slip on one of these babies and feel the cares of the day melt away.
4. Pocket bra
If you wear breast forms, it’s worth investing in a pocket bra built to hold your breast forms. A pocket bra will keep the forms secure and properly positioned.
I particularly like the TRANSFORM See-Thru Bra. At $30, it may cost a bit more than bargain bras, but it’s well worth it.
5. A luxurious robe
A silk or satin robe is a classic boudoir piece that will make you feel ultra feminine.
While you don’t have to break the bank, it’s worth treating yourself to the best you can afford. Your robe should last for years, so look for a high quality piece with luxurious fabric and trimmings.

Since I love to shop for lingerie and have a very large collection and do not really need any more, I shop the bargains. Clearance rack at Macys or Kohls is my favorite. I have found some excellent pieces at Macys Back Stage also. Go in the off peak hours and you can peruse to your hearts content.
My favourite Bra:)
my favorite are full slips they play with you all day reminding you that you are not even close being male. that i also love knee highs ,and thy highs instead of panty hose because they leave the slips rub my skin that completes that femine feeling i love. i love slips so much i even wear them under my night gowns.
Hi Cathy,I never thought about slips protecting clothes only thought about how good they felt and how much they made me feel like a girl.I also felt girly if someone said ”your slip is showing.” and I would act embarrased and say ”Thank you for telling me.” I too, wear camesols with a full slip over that and sometimes a half slip depending on how short my dress or skirt
Lucille, where can I find that blue silk pajamas, item number 3 in lingerie to splurge for. I want it bad. I can’t wait to sleep in it. Love Sharon
I love slips, soft and silky and I would buy new ones any time. and I am going to rush out a buy a blue night gown like the one pictured in this session.
When I started dressing it was when “the ark was just finished”. I was “borrowing” my moms things and soon discovered that she had the best quality lingerie. That’s when I made up my mind to always buy the same and I have never deviated. My lingerie must be high quality, my bras and panties must always match, my pantyhose are of the high end (Wolford). This is what being a girl is all about, feeling good about yourself, feeling sexy and sensual.
I started wearing my sister’s nylon panties at avery early age. I just loved how they felt on me and have ever since. My favorite are nylon hi-cut panties with a little lace to accentuate my feminine side. I also love to wear a matching garter belt with sheer stockings and a cute nylon and lace camisole on top. Thanks Lucille, for allowing us to share our love of all things feminine! 🙂
