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.

This is a great list ! The one thing I’d add to it that I really can’t go without is a waist cincher / waist trainer / girdle – or similar. While probably considered “old fashioned”, these do wonders for my figure, create a nice flat stomach, and just generally make me feel more put together
I must have bras the have lace or a little bow for that feminine touch. I also like racerback bras that close in the front. As for panties, I prefer the high cut style and must have an assortment of colors. I have yet to find an all-in-one body suit that fits, especially one with snaps at the crotch. It seems my torso is just too long. Any help??
Yes Lucille, what could possibly be more feminine than to own a lovely array of lingerie – some for every day wear, and others for those very special evenings/overnights. Required for every day? That’s easy, stretch lace panties, classic bras, lace top thigh highs or pantyhose, 1 lacy full slip, 1 lacy half slip, 1 stretch-shaper camisole, 1 lacy camisole. What about special evenings and overnights? Must have stretch lace thong teddy, stretch lace garter belt, lacy stockings, frilly-lacy baby doll nightie, satin or silk lacy slip-length nightie, lace and satin/silk thongs, fancy satin and lace trimmed push-up padded bra, soft lace-cup bralette, fun frilly lacy corsellette with garters, and of course a floor length sheer crepe and lace robe-gown with satin bow-ties. So comfy, so lovely, so sexy, and so girly-feminine. What better ways to feel like a woman?
Hi again – I couldn’t resist. Here I am yesterday at Macy’s trying on various lingerie. I forgot to bring in my regular glasses so I had to wear my sunglasses! So much fun and the sales ladies helped me select just the right nightie! Slept good in it!
Hi Lucille-
My must have are garter belts and stockings. So sexy and men love them!

Thank you so much for the tutorial on how to get some cleavage… Even for us flat chested “girls”. It makes quite a difference and it makes me feel so much more feminine.
Regarding the Panty Gaff, Suddenly Fem no longer exists.
But you can get your gaffs (and everything else trans women & crossdressers need) from here:
