Expressing your feminine side is about much more than just clothes and makeup. After all, women are a little more complex than that!
That’s why I wanted to go beyond the obvious and explore some unexpected strategies to help you enhance your feminine expression.
In this blog post for crossdressers and transgender women, I share 3 unexpected ways to be more feminine. Read on to learn more!
1. Buy a New Perfume
The right perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine. While it’s great to have a signature scent, sometimes it helps to switch things up and discover new perfumes to bring out your inner woman.
Here are some suggestions to match your desired vibe:
- Floral scents: Embrace your soft, romantic side with the allure of flowers.
- Fresh or fruity scents: Boost your confidence and energy levels with invigorating notes.
- Woody or oriental scents: Unleash your inner seductress with warm, captivating fragrances.

2. Be More Polite
Did you know that politeness plays a significant role in enhancing your feminine image?
Countless studies have shown that women tend to excel in the realm of manners, and adopting these social graces can truly elevate your femininity.
Here are three suggestions to keep in mind:
- Embrace the power of “please” and “thank you” – These little words hold huge power in conveying respect and gratitude. Remember to use them often in your daily interactions.
- Soften your language – For example, instead of bluntly saying “I can’t hear you,” opt for a more gentle approach like, “I’m sorry, I can’t quite hear you.” This subtle shift demonstrates empathy and consideration.
- Mind your online presence – Politeness shouldn’t be limited to face-to-face encounters. It’s equally important to be polite when texting, emailing, or engaging in online discussions.
3. Loosen Up
If you’re looking for an instant way to enhance your feminine image, here’s a simple secret: loosen up! This applies to both your body and your mind, and it can work wonders in unleashing your true feminine grace.
First, let’s focus on loosening up your body:
Women naturally possess a graceful, limber quality. If your body feels tense and tight, it can manifest in stiff, jerky movements that lack femininity. Here’s how you can loosen up:
- Consciously relax your body, especially your jaw and shoulders.
- Stretch your muscles on a daily basis.
- Take lots of deep, relaxing breaths.
These simple body-loosening techniques can do more to feminize your movements than all the hip shaking in the world!
Now, let’s shift our focus to loosening up your mind:
The happiest crossdressers and transgender women I know don’t get hung up on “passing” or trying to please everybody. Instead, they embrace who they are while constantly striving to improve themselves.
Life is short, so above all, relax and enjoy the journey!

I love what all of you have said. I recently had my first manicure and it was soo exciting and felt so good. I went with my daughter who is the only one in the family who knows my inner self. For about the past year I always wear my panties and bras even in guy mode. I recently went shopping at my favorite store Victoria’s Secret with my daughter and bought new body washes and beautifully fragrented lotions that I have started wearing everyday even to work. It makes me feel very femmine. To all of the ladies here thank you . You are an inspiration.
Hi Sharon
My Daughter also knew of and supported me. Unfortunately we were never able to do any activities, due to his wife not accepting me and keeping me in the closet. Now that I have become more aggressive in showing the world who I am, she is no longer able to support me. You see, (and I want no sympathy or pity), my Daughter passed away in 2013.
So I have myself and a few GGirlfriends, who I don’t see enough of.
I also wear my panties, bra and pantyhose as often as I can. I’ll never give up my panties.
It’s so nice having this forum, to express ourselves on.
Thank you for listening.
Much love ❤

I wear perfume all the time, wear female jeans even in guy mode.
At all times, I use my nails painted, even in male mode. Also, I always use pendants and earrings.
I try to use my female voice whenever I can (except if I’m in male mode, talking to other people)
I always wear tinted lip balm, altough sometimes I use a very clear one.
I use parfume almost every day, even in male mode.
Also, whenever I feel like it, I start using a lot of …. mmm, gestures, even if I’m in male mode talking to other people. That includes talking like effeminate, because you know, sometimes I just feel like it 🙂
One other way I have is the way I carry myself. My mother was a stickler for poster and presence so, along with a smile, head up, chin level, look ahead,not down….and “stride with pride.” Her words exactly.
I agree with Kathleen Danielle. I keep my nails manicured and shaped longer than most men, with clear nail polish and my toenails are always polished with reds or pink. I am fortunate that my wife is accepting and I wear women’s clothing 90% of the time. Women’s jeans, shirts or tops, and shoes. I wear panties, bras and a night gown 100% of the time. I also use perfume or collogues. This keeps me feeling feminine all the time and I so love that feeling, Susan
I think this is one of my favorite blog posts! Don’t get me wrong, I love the tips we get for refining the aesthetic aspects of feminity–it’s an area that I certainly could use a great deal of improvement.
However, I was excited to read this because it touched upon the deeper emotional and social implications–an area that I struggle with the most when trying to liberate my inner woman–and it was a welcome reminder. I think such reflexive social conventions stem from having a constant awareness (or at least thoughtfulness) of others’ needs and temperament and being generally nurturing enough to really make it a priority. Although I consider myself to be a moderately courteous and considerate person, I frequently feel really discouraged and ashamed at times when I see other women reaching out to others, and it doesn’t even occur to me to do so.
Does anyone have any suggestions for becoming a more caring person?
I think I should post with a different name…with so many Davids here I think it could be confusing, lol
After I saw another “Jenny” on here I just added the first letter of my last name to avoid any confusion.
When I’m not Enfemme, I wear panties under all my male clothes. Also, I always polish my nails with clear polish. This way I can be a little feminine when I’m in the male mode.
Kathleen you look great but do something for me.
1. Take at least 3 deep breaths slowly one at a time
2. Close your eyes and relax your shoulders; just let go allowing them to fall fall down to their natural place.
3. Take another breath and do the same for your arms down to your hands letting them drop gently down to your sides.
4. Bring your feet together, stand up straight. The way you look in this photo I think you’re attempting to grab someone.
You have the look of a woman now practice and acquire the gentle graceful look of a woman and you will do well.
I think if you do these things, dressed the way you are you will feel eyes on you but they will be in appreciation: good luck.
I thought i had a good example to show you but they are all when I was very young. This is me today at 70. I still remember my youth and the feeling I got when I turned a few heads.
Hi Kathleen
My goodness you are beautiful. And that dress is just to die for.
I also wear my panties continually. Couldn’t go without them, also wear my bra and pantyhose as often as I can.
I can only paint my toenails, I’m in the maintenance field. All the crawling, climbing, grease and everything else would destroy fingernail polish.
Much love ❤

I love the way we think, you are without a doubt a beautiful lady
Yes I agree
I express my femininity in how I engage with those around me… especially friends and family. My femininity is in the mind – not the body.
Taryn, I couldn’t agree more about femininity being more in the mind than the body. My body is fairly masculine. However, I’ve been told I look good when I’m all dressed up. I believe it’s because I feel and act like a very feminine woman. And I love the reactions I get from other people.
