If you’re like many of my transgender or crossdressing readers, you might not be able to present yourself as a woman each day.
That doesn’t mean you have to lose your female side when it’s time to put on the pants!
In this post, I share 5 ways to stay in touch with your femininity – even in male mode.
1. Wear Women’s Underwear
Let’s start with the most obvious tip, shall we? Wearing women’s underwear underneath your male clothing is the easiest way to connect with your feminine self on a daily basis.
Aside from that, women’s panties tend to be more comfortable than men’s boxers or briefs. Plus, they come in loads of cute and sexy styles to add some secret pizazz to your outfit.
2. Try Stealth Crossdressing
Wearing lingerie under your clothes is a classic, but why stop there? Sneaking a piece of women’s clothing into your daily outfit is a great way to feel girly.
A lot of women’s clothing can pass for unisex, so try wearing women’s:
- Basic tees
- Button-down shirts
- Jeans and pants
Don’t forget about accessories! You could also play with wearing women’s boots or using a tote bag as a laptop bag or briefcase.
3. Apply Incognito Makeup
There are lots of ways to incorporate makeup into your daily look, even when presenting as a male. Here are 4 must-have makeup items:
- Concealer or foundation – Apply a thin layer to cover under eye circles or blemishes.
- Setting powder – Apply to shiny spots on your face, like the nose or forehead.
- Clear mascara – Use it to make your eyelashes look subtly longer and fuller.
- Uncolored lipstick – Instead of boring Chapstick, care for your lips with a clear lipstick.
4. Use the Power of Scent
Scents have a powerful effect on your brain chemistry and mood, so this is a great way to connect with your feminine side.
Wear women’s perfume instead of cologne. Musky fragrances are the most unisex, so you can wear them without anybody knowing your secret. (Check out my article on perfume to learn more about choosing the right scent.)
Another option is to burn a scented candle with a feminine fragrance in your home or office.
5. Keep Reminders of Your Female Self
Another tip is to surround yourself with reminders of the woman within.
One way to do this is through photos. Keep photos of your femme self on your phone, in your wallet, or even framed and hung up so you can see them often.
You could also carry around items personalized with your feminine name, such as a necklace, keychain, or coffee mug.
6. Try Feminizing Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a powerful way to increase confidence, reprogram habits and behaviors, and improve the way you express yourself as a woman.
Best of all, it’s the ultimate mental escape – allowing you to connect with you female self regardless of your current situation.
Try it for yourself by signing up for my free Unleash Your Inner Woman hypnosis mini-session here.
How do YOU stay connected?
In an ideal world, you’d be free to present yourself as a woman whenever and wherever you wanted. Until then, I hope this gives you ideas for expressing your female side anytime you want!

I wear panties, pantyhose or high-hi’s, Chic jeans, a woman’s t-shirt and ladies walking shoes most of the time. When I am at work, the only things I change are pants (more of a trouser cut) and shirt (men’s polo type), and shoes (ladies casual slip-ons. I haven’t worn a dress or skirt and dressy top in over 3 years because my mother in-law lives moved in with us and she only has negative things to say about men acting and dressing as women (she has no issue with the other way around, though. The old “double standard.”). I wear a ladies watch and Secret deoderant. Most days I wear clear nail polish on my fingers but a rose or pink polish on my toes.
Thanks for your support and tips.

You know your mind is very powerfull, i imagine i am in femme mode at work where i cannot be dressed femme and i feel wonderfull, i am only able to dress on the rare occasion but my wife buys me lingerie and i sleep in some delight full peices , she even bought me a beutiful satin leorpard chemise for valentines so am always thinking as female and wish i could be femme every second of the day.Having Lucille and all you girls really helps, we should start some kind of forum.

I wear make up all the time – if anyone comments, I tell them it’s to disguise the dark ‘age spots’ I have – a very convincing reason when you are nearly 70. I also wear female jeans, trousers, blouses and cardigans when out and about in male mode.
One other thing I do is wear boots with 2 and a half inch cuban heels – they are great for keeping the elegant ‘high-heels’ walk going all the time. My nails are always either highly polished or coated in clear nail protector at all times.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for wonderful tips. Just a few extras from me. I love facial and hand creams and also Rosewater Balancing Mist for scent before heading out for the day. I love my lingerie and recently complimented these with a cute panty girdle. It really helps with the posture. Next, I include my fashion spectacles (Issy & La) French I believe! They’ve got op-art on the side wings. They aren’t over the top, but give that real arty look. Younger things working in cafe/eateries give me very big grins! The mature adults just accept me or sort of dismiss me as a little weird, arty type. But these days, I reckon androgenous seems to steadily and tastefully be dawning on the horizon. Who knows what the future has to behold girls!? I wear thin cotton loose leg jean-slacks over strapped roman sandals with a slight heel. (It is nearing the end of summer here.)Mostly lunch out on the town or country villages in nearby hills with my different cultured wife.
Love Jaine.
Soooo many great tips and reminders. . . I enjoy wearing clear mascara every day. . . Feels wonderful . .
You refer to a “Feminine Fragrance”. What makes a scent feminine???

I wear T-shirts, pants bracelets, jackets and feminine clothes like that. My style gets a lot of weird looks but not because I look like a girl but because I just look weird :p I like alot of funky, fun, stylish looks which means me mixing and matching mens and womens clothing and since the whole look is weird nobody tends to notice the individual items. I also wear feminine sunnies and only one person as picked up on that. Im going to Sydney next weekend and the first day i’ll be at a cosplay convention and the second day i’ll be shopping, these two photos are what I will be wearing while im up there.
“Hashi-san Love”…You are so Sexy…I love your Make-Up, Beautiful Legs & Black Fishnet Stockings…Keep up the great fashion work !!!
I have no support system! My wife hates it my friends hate it but I need it so much. During the day I wear panties and sometimes a bra but I always wear cute socks. They are a constant reminder that regardless or what the world thinks I AM PRETTY.
Hi Patrick
I’m pretty much in the same situation as you. His wife hates me, although she has never met me. (She married a man.) None of his friends would accept me.
A few months ago I had about a dozen GG’s who would talk to me, one would ever stop what she was doing, and come and give me a kiss and hug. But I no longer work in that area so can’t get up that way now.
Anyway I underdress all the time. Painted toe nails, trouser socks , always in panties, and a bra when I can.
As of now I’m on day shift so I can dress going to work. It’s not enough, but has to suffice for now.
Anyway I guess I have rambled on enough.
Much love ❤

Thank you for the reply, it can be difficult when you always feel like the outsider, but it seems like social norms are changing to a point were we will be accepted and protected from discrimination like every other class of non conformist. Until then remember you are beautiful.
Driving and walking is a great way to say in touch , keep your legs tight together at all time in drive mode and keep that walk tight and bum wiggle slight, ofcourse it all works and feels better in heels
