If you’re a crossdresser or transgender woman, then you know what can impact clothes, hair, and makeup can have on your appearance.
But let’s not forget about the little details, like your hands!
While you can’t change the structure of your hands, the good news is that there are simple ways to help minimize their size and create a more feminine look.
In this blog post on how to get feminine hands, I share 4 dos and don’ts for feminizing your hands. Let’s dive in!
DO Invest In The Right Grooming Tools
Since we’re constantly using our hands, they’re a natural magnet for attention. That means that neatly groomed hands and nails are a must.
Good grooming doesn’t have to take much time – especially when you use the right tools. Here are a few items you should have in your arsenal:
- Nail brush – This is an essential tool for cleaning under the fingernails.
- Glass nail file – A glass nail file is gentler on the nails, so it’s a better option than an emery board or metal nail file.
- Nail buffer – Use a nail buffer to give your nails a natural shine without having to use polish.
- Hand cream – Hand creams are thicker than body lotions, so they offer extra hydration for hands and nails.
DON’T Make These Manicure Mistakes
Whether you go to a salon or do it yourself, getting a manicure is a great way to polish your feminine look.
That said, there are a couple mistakes you’ll want to avoid:
- Avoid nails that are too long or too short. Both of these extremes tend to make the fingers look larger and thus, more masculine. The most flattering nail length is about 1/8″-1/4″ past your fingertips.
- Avoid dark nail polish colors. If your hands aren’t your strong point, avoid dark colors and stick with neutral tones that blend into your hands. Flattering color choices are soft pink, nude, or ivory.
DON’T Forget Hairy Knuckles
This seems obvious, but it still needs to be stated: If you have hairy knuckles, don’t forget to shave them when presenting yourself as a woman.
No need for such a simple detail to run an otherwise impeccable feminine image!
DO Use Jewelry To Your Advantage
Rings and bracelets can definitely make your hands look prettier, but there are a couple important rules to follow:
- Avoid dainty jewelry. If you have larger hands, they can overpower delicate jewelry. Instead, look for chunkier jewelry styles that suit the proportions of your hands.
- Keep it low key. Flashy rings and bracelets call attention to an area you may want to downplay. That means one or two simple pieces is all you need. Instead, keep the focus on your face with a statement necklace or beautiful earrings.
In conclusion
Even if your hands aren’t your favorite feature, they don’t have to detract from a feminine look. Apply these tips and your hands will blend in beautifully.
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts. How do you feel about your hands? Do you have any additional suggestions to add to this list? Please share in the comments below!

My hands are unmanly small already (I’m lucky)
I’m not sure how long ago this post was written, but as of today I came across new information which could help some, though how it will benefit is up to you.
I am one of those who hopes that TG people can undergo rigorous gene modification and stem cell transplants to completely resculpt their bodies. There’s an article called Total Gender Change on hplusmagazine.
I have done a lot of Google searches for make hands and feet smaller but all of the searches came negative, so I decided to go a different route. So far, I learned two things which might be of help in finding a reverse mechanism.
The length of the hands and feet are controlled by adding bone tissue to the ends close to where the joints are so that the skeleton can move properly. After puberty, these ends which have cartilage begin to calcify or ossify. Obviously, the only way to get rid of these is to decalcify the ends and force the bones to shrink. Few people would attempt this, so maybe the only fix to this would be a hand or foot transplant grown in the lab.
The width of the bone, or its diameter is controlled by how many layers of mineral are added and destroyed. Bone is constantly being remodelled. During a child’s growth, their bones begin to increase in thickness as more layers are placed. But wait. If you put too much the bones will become very heavy. So another set of cells chew up the layers inside the bone cavity where the marrow is so that the space would be bigger. I was thinking to do the reverse. The osteoclasts would get rid of the outer layer while the osteoblasts would lay down new mineral layers inside the bone to make it smaller but stronger at the same time. If osteoclasts only dissolved the outer bone, that would result in osteoporosis.
For both of these modifications, a bone scan may have to be performed along with a 3D-printed model for comparison of both the host (your own body) and the target (a volunteer whose hand or foot you’re trying to match). Bone scans shouldn’t be that hard, especially since two types exist. One is where hand x-rays are used to determine a child’s bone age, and another one, mainly used to detect bone cancer can get a thorough look at the skeleton for future modifications.

I believe that transgender people should seek natural and alternative ways to transition and still gain aesthetic, functional and sensational benefit from these changes.

Hi, am Nahla an mtf transgender in Nigeria, Am black.I started taking estrogen hormones when I was 15yrs old. I always knew I was meant to be a girl and my parents knew too bcos of the way I act, always wearing my moms heels n makeups, @ first my dad was skeptical about it but with time he adjusted to it, I was born in the United States, Emory university hospital Georgia. I have a sister and she has been of help tremendously and now am 21yrs old and happy, I dnt have Adam’s apple, my bone structure form feminized perfectly, am happy and living healthy.

Congratulations, I’m happy for you.
I completely agree with keeping the nails groomed. I feel like that is an easy thing to forget.
Love my pumps, nude Hosiery, long flowing dresses, Learning to love my body ,and enjoying accentuating my assets, hiding my flaws.
To help my hands appear more feminine, my fingernails on my fore finger are slightly longer than the others. This helps with the illusion that I am a female in that my fore finger is longer than my ring finger.
I am 5’10” and typically wear size 12 with round toes and 4-5″ heels. There are a lot of women who are tall. To me, the issue is one of proportion. Higher heels make my feet appear smaller and, bonus, because I am thus taller, seem to minimise the appearance of too large shoulders.As with a GG, most tall GG’s are also larger in other body parts as well. Same with nails. I typically wear mine at least 1/4″ past the end of my fingers and with bright red nail polish. I think the appearance of longer fingers, because of the nails, helps to minimise the appearance of large ( wide) hands. Also, I think that the longer bright red nails may tend to draw attention to them and away from the width of my hands.
