Wearing lingerie is a guaranteed way to feel feminine. Best of all, it’s something you can indulge in on a daily basis.
What are the lingerie pieces every trans woman or crossdresser should own?
I’ve compiled a list of 10 must-have transgender / crossdressing lingerie items that should be part of your MTF wardrobe. Read on to learn more!
1. Basic Black Or Nude Bra
Every girl needs a basic bra, so a simple nude or black bra is a must.
If you’re having trouble finding your size, try the Leading Lady Lightly Padded Contour Underwire Bra. It comes in a wide range of sizes that would fit most crossdressers and transgender women. (Band sizes 36-54, cup sizes A-G)
2. Panty Gaff
For a flat and feminine look, a panty gaff is your best friend. A gaff is an undergarment designed to offer a smooth and tucked appearance. Here are a few options:
- Gold Seal Gaff by The Dress Form Store
- Super Strong Hiding Gaff by Suddenly Fem
- Thong Gaff by Glamour Boutique
3. Shaping Camisole
Who couldn’t benefit from a little mid-section slimming? A shaping camisole can help you slim down your waist and stomach without constricting you like a corset or girdle would. I like the camisoles from Yummie, which go up to a size 3x.
4. Padded Panty
If you crave feminine curves (and who doesn’t?), padded panties offer an instant solution. Your options range from light lifting to full-on hip and butt shaping. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Light shaping – Ulta Sheer Padded Panty by FeelFoxy
- Medium shaping – The Glamour Gal Silicone Hip and Butt Padded Shaper
- Full shaping – Veronicas by Classic Curves
5. Nude Or Black Pantyhose
While women don’t wear pantyhose as often as they used to, pantyhose looks more polished than bare skin and enhances the appearance of your legs. Your lingerie wardrobe should definitely include a pair of black and/or nude hose.
6. Slinky Nightie
There’s nothing like slipping into a slinky nightgown to make you feel extra feminine. Whether you prefer long or short, you should own at least one silky nightie. Or better yet, buy a few in different lengths and colors.
7. Basic Panties
Sometimes simple is best! Whether you prefer thongs, bikinis, or briefs, you should own at least a few basic panties.
8. Sexy Bra And Panty Set
While the basics are important, half the fun of lingerie is expressing your sensual side. That’s why no wardrobe is complete without at least one super sexy bra and panty set.
9. Nubra
The Nubra is an adhesive bra that’s fantastic for creating cleavage. Since it’s backless and strapless, it can be worn alone or under another bra. To learn how to create feminine cleavage with the Nubra, see my post on How to Get Feminine MTF Cleavage.
10. Silk Or Satin Robe
A silk or satin robe is a classic boudoir piece that will make you feel ultra feminine. You should have at least one so you have something sensual to slip into when you are at home.
Let’s talk lingerie!

Hi Lucille,
Other than the Nubra and a Gaf I have all the rest of your recommendations.
I always wear Sloggi’s as my basic underwear but I love wearing my slinky grannie knickers under my long silk skirts, it gives a wonderful swishy sound and feel.

Hi Everyone,
I own all the items recommended to feel truly femme, except for the Nubra and a true gaff. I own bras that give me a little cleavage and panties which are tight enough to hold things in place and flat. My favorite way to dress for an evening of relaxation is to combine many of the above items. A strapless nude bra (with forms), matching tight padded panties, nude pantyhose, a satin long nightgown and matching long robe, a wig, jewelry, and a pair pair of 3 inch heels, and your femme persona is complete.
I agree regular every day panties and a comfortable bra white or nude, black is great also.
I love black tights or pantyhose, although l just love wearing stockings and garters unless going out for something special not very practical and nighties or sleep wear is a personal preference my list would be the form fitting camisole,basic panties and comfortable underwire bra white or nude.
And a nice long red or black nightie
But l don’t think l could go without stockings and garters with a matching panty and push up bra sometimes I like to feel a little slutty but that’s just me l have some nice clothes and feeling sexy underneath when l’m out is the greatest. I also love the feel of a silky slip as one other girl mentioned
Love Wendy ❤️❤️
I love you Wendy.
I just love stockings and garter belts.They make me feel really sensual and feminine.I also love to wear slip dresses under my dresses because of the silky feeling they give me underneath my dresses they also hide me if the dress is to see thru
I think as far as sexy lingerie. A Teddy or baby Doll is a must have. I also prefer to wear a garter belt and stockings set over pantyhose. Find the matching bra and panties to go with it. It is a plus right there.
Peignoir sets would cover the silky nightie and silky robe all in one. That is what I buy to wear and sleep in. I have several in different colors. I Just LOVE them.
If you love the peignoir sets you should look at the ones offered by Woman Within. They have many long satin peignoir sets by Amoreuse and, if you monitor the site, you can find some great deals.
Hi Dorothy,
I just ordered a new bra from Her Room, should be receiving it today. I will take a look at their nightgowns and robes, thanks.
I have been relatively lucky I guess you can say. I am small in stature. I only wear a size 10-12. Woman Within sells for plus sized women. I have looked through there catalogs. Everything is to big for me. They do have some nice clothing though.
I buy my peignoir sets from Her Room. I buy the Shadowline nightgown style 31737 and the matching robe style 71737. I Love the lace bodice on the top and the silky nightgown on the bottom. Makes me feel more feminine.
Agree with all!! Have taken to heart some of your make up tips and here is the result
I half agree, but think that bra and panties should ALWAYS be matching in colour, and preferably be a set.
Also, stockings and suspender belt, or hold-ups are an essential.
I agree, matching colours black is my choice. Mmm garter with stockings is a must.
“Rob”…I always wear a “Sexy Bra and Matching Panties” with my Garter and Stockings !!!
I have to agree with most of the ladies who have provided feedback. Stocking and suspended belts are a must. I do also love wearing full bust corsets (I can recommend) or waist clichers. I also would agree with having satin nighties. I have several in differing lengths and colours and all very sensual.I love wearing most of my lingerie all day and even whilst at work, my little secret. Keep experimenting as it’s all learning to be more fem.
