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!
It was hard to narrow this list to just 10 items, so I’d love to hear your thoughts…

My favorite underpinnings are a nice feminine padded push-up bra and panties with lace or bling. I also wear a corset to help provide a nice feminine shape, and it feels to wonderful and supportive to wear.
As for stockings, I prefer to wear black. But, I also disagree somewhat with you. The current style for women is to not wear stockings and to go bare-legged. My comments that follow pertain to stockings only and not to socks or tights.
Bare-Legged Pros:
• Quick and easy to dress
• No hassle with putting on stockings or dealing with runs
• Cooler in warmer weather
• Allows one to show off their painted toenails
• Stockings have a limited life => $
Bare-Legged Cons:
• Not all women have beautiful skin
• As women age the appearance of their legs and feet change, and not for the better
• Stockings are warmer than going bare-legged
Stockings add a wonderful ‘finished’ and smooth look to a woman’s legs unmatched by anything else. Stockings worn in the right way can be very sexy especially if one is allowed a glimpse of the stocking’s welt or the panty portion of panty hose. This is a great way to be flirtatious without being too obvious!
As women age, the look of their legs and feet also change with age. Personally I take exception to not wearing stockings (not referring to tights) with peep-toe shoes or sandals. I’ve seen stockings worn by both older and younger women with both types of shoes and they look very attractive so long as they are not wearing reinforced heels and toes or Cuban heels.
Ms.PK:
If you love stockings like I do, try Secrets in Lace in Richmond VA. Also, try “Gio”, on Amazon. Oh what a Feeling!!
My favorite lingerie is my cream colored satin night dress
it’s in a Greek goddess style.. It’s beautiful ..
Explain, what a nite-dress is?
How does it effect your Shape?
Most of the panties I have tried do not fit comfortably. Does anyone have suggestions on what to try? I do not find comfort in the thongs. I love the way a pair of panties feel and have not gone any further in the cd arena. But never say never. Right?
Hi Jim, I’m not a thong gurl either. Let me ask you though, what is it that you find uncomfortable about your panties? Is it the lack of frontal coverage and/or support? If so I’d recommend hipster style panties. I’m particularly fond of Soma Intimate’s Sensuous Lace hipsters. They feel great and provide enough frontal coverage for the twig and berries. The rear coverage helps to avoid the floss-action wedgies.
How do I put my pic up? Lol

Jill
i am sorry forgot to post the pictures seems i can not get them to down load sorry, but I am very happy with all the advice and please help to continued helping us on our journey to freedom
I got to say the push up bra is my best and favorite item then the panties and panty hose help keep my manly lump hidden that I hate to have. Wish I did not have that part, but we will not go there.
I have really loved your advise and have tried to follow it as much as a married closet dresser whom wishes he could just quit lying to everyone and tell them he wishes she could be free and be the women inside. I don not know if i will ever be brave.
I attached a few recent pics hope all enjoys. I love the cleavage your advise and help have created
Hi Kelly .
I rather like panties & bra matching set and best of all is either sheer back seen stockings or hold-ups I like to feel my boyfriend hands mmmmm
Jill
I know what you mean about the pantyhose and how it feels to have someone you care about run there hands up and down your leg. It feels great, but I still like my push up bra as it helps to create the cleavage I desire. Both are very great to have. finally got the pictures to load sorry for the late return
A question. Are stockings appropriate, or pantyhose, with peep-toe pumps? Usually it seems I see bare legs with peep-toes, but I love wearing hose and wearing hose heps with the shoes too.
