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 feel feminine when doing dishees, laundry, and house cleaning. My wife says every working woman should have a wife like me.
Dancing makes me feel ever so flirtatious and feminine, I love dancing so much, flirting also makes me feel girly it doesn’t have to go anywhere but It really does.
What you mention here is spot on, smiling is a winner and it’s very interesting you say about leaning back – it feels great! Give your self a little shake if you feel like you haven’t loosened up.
Apart from that the obvious, little feminine gestures that aren’t too much, and handbags! But surprisingly scarves and prints make me feel feminine everyday! x
Jessica, you are gorgeous. I agree about flirting. When I do have the chance to go out, I flirt with men and women. That makes me feel even more feminine and a little sexier.
I love to start out with a hot shower, lotion everywhere, then bra and panties. I then apply my makeup.
From this point I am totally female. It do not matter what I wear, bluejeans, dress or night clothing.
I am 71 retired and have been living full time over 2 years. I have had great success with HRT, and no longer needing forms.
During my working life I was a police officer in a large city. I started out on the street and 31 years later I was # 2 of a 7000 person force. I could not go out dressed. After retirement I moved out of town and with the total support of my wife. I now and have for sometime as Kimberly. I have not had any bad experience dressed in public.
Therefore I consider my self total female and love every minuet of it.

For me, feeling ultra-feminine is when: I’m shaved super smooth all over, then lotion everywhere, a thick maxipad nice and tight in my panties, sexy/girly perfume, heavy mascara reminders on my lashes, tight push-up bra that presses my breasts together into very tight cleavage, and finally I drop my ponytail so that my hair hangs down long all over, on my shoulders and back of my neck with cute bangs in front.
Then, no mater what I wear, I feel so wonderfully feminine, I can do jeans, skirt, dress, whatever, and I am so girly-feminine. It’s so wonderful, so relaxing, I just Love it!!!
Hi Cathy
First let me say you are beautiful.
Now everything you have started I love. I wear a overnight Tena pad, they cover from front to rear, but I would like them to be just a little thicker. I think it helps give us the gap down there that GG’s naturally have.
As for Donna Lewis’ comments, I remember the Kotex pads, I adored them. Just having the belt and pad on made me feel oh so feminine. And yes pantyhose and a slip on freshly shaved legs, heavenly. I can’t afford waxing yet, hope to some day.
Unfortunately his wife insists his hair be cut very short, so I can’t revel in the delights of having my hair done up.
I never had much body hair so I don’t have to shave often except his face, but love to when I can.
Anyway I have rambled on long enough now. I just wanted to comment on the pads, but you know how us gurls can go on and on LOL.
Much love ❤

Hi: Cathy
It’s so nice to finally see another girl that wears a maxi pad. I have been dressing ever since my first memories. Just always felt more comfortable as a girl. Started useing maxi pads almost right away. I guess around age ten or twelve. I can still remember sneaking into the girls room in Jr. high after everyone had left and putting a dime into the Kotex machine to get a nice full pad. In those days they wern’t folded and had extra long tails on them to attach to a Kotex belt that you had to wear to hold your pad in place. The stick in pads weren’t even on the market yet. Back then they were so much fuller and felt much better than todays much thinner pads. even the fullest pads today arn’t nearly as full as they used to be. the last full pad was the stayfree classic. Packed unfolded and much better than the new ones. Now you have to stick two together to get the same thickness. They just make me fell more feminine. Also they are the perfect reminder to keep your legs together and to sitand walk like a lady. In recentt years I have discovered waxing. Of course like all girls I have always loved the feel of a good pair of hose over freshly shaved legs. Topped off with a good slip. ( OH MY ! ) Waxing just extends that fresh feeling for days or even weeks. If you are brave. let your beard grow for a couple of weeks. Then it can be waxed. It’s so nice to not have any stubble to deal with late in the day or even in the morning. Plus your face will feel so much softer and you can used a moisterized with much better results. Your make-up stays looking so much nicer when you don’t have to keep going back to try to hide a little shadow thta may show up a tiny bit late at night. You might find out that you look very nice with just a mineral make-up. ( I DID ) To have a guy kiss you and know that he will NOT !! be feeling any stubble anywear ia also very comforting. Of course there are some definate advantages to having your chest waxed. ( know stubble areound the nipples for a long time !! ) If you can stay in girl mode for a few days. There’s nothing that makes you feel more like a woman than having your nails done. Acyrlic nails are so feminine. You just feel so pretty with your nails done. Plus, nice long nails make your fingers looki longer and thinner. I love french tips myself. They go with anything. Then after a few days I can paint them a color myself if I want to. Or sometines I just pop into a nail parlor and have them do them for me. They only charge a few dallars to do them, and the profetionmal look is really worth it sometimes.
I hope this helps with a few idea’s I have tried over the years that make me feel much more feminine. I’m sure they will you too !
Hugs: Donna
You are beautiful girl.
Thanks for sharing your emotions and feelings with us.

I love the feel of ALWAYS maxi pad my psychologist told me to under stand more about been a female that i have to wear the pads. She has it on the days where i go in the see her. I must wear they.
I love to feel feminine. lingerie is my downfall and wear a bra and panties every day and usually a garterbelt and stockings. They make me a woman. I ahve taken your advise and am using breast enhancement techniques and herbs and my breatsare growing and are bery soft and my nipples areola are getting larger. Thanks for all you do for gurls like us.
Thanks, Fran
Me too, me too.
My breast are starting to appear. My nipples are more protruding.I love it. Just following Lucille’s advice with herbs and cream.
Thanks Fran for sharing.
Love you girl

hi… usually come home after work tired but simply going from male to female helps me relax around the house… come home and getting femmed up then cooking dinner for everyone truly relaxes me… my gf seems to take it all in stride… or she at least likes my cooking and isn’t going to rock that boat 🙂 anyway spending a nice long day dressed up keeps me in touch

In my 61 years I have gone through a lot of changes while growing up to become me. I was never loud and boisterous but quiet and shy and always, I always felt the way that I do now. I have taken several test devised for transsexuals and they have the same result. That is I fall always within the extreme category of yes you are a true transgender; seek help now! My normal self is to be quiet and listen, offer advice if I can but most of all just be kind. To fit in I learned to be or try to be forceful; I failed. Try to be like a soldier and failed in most parts but became good at displaying a grim face; frown, no smile . . .
no it is not in my nature and as I think about it I failed in this to because no matter how much I frown the me inside comes out. A girl in high school who couldn’t fit me in her boy box looked at me one day and just said “you’re weird.” I’m not weird just me. I don’t know how a girl is suppose to feel. I have this coverall skirt that fits snug on my hips and when I walk I feel them sway from side to side and I feel good about it because it says I have, now, a natural feminine gait. People notice or don’t notice they just associate it to me. I have taken estrogen for many many years now and I notice that men break that distance barrier when they talk to me and stand within that zone that a woman is more use to at times but a man would be most uncomfortable. It means the estrogen is ore in control of me and I along with my, usually mildly flower smelling deodorant, is giving out less and less of a man signal. men don’t seem to notice but I just smile and go with it.
Overall, yes I am happiest when I am dressed as a woman and yes I am a little uncomfortable when I go out side thinks that someone is going to unmask me and start shouting and pointing. I love my privacy too much for that so I mostly wear my coveralls in public but they don’t hide my breast and they don’t hide that my hips are wider than most men and they don’t hide that I walk different and you know what; no one seems to care. I’m happy inside; if I could afford to transition I would be extremely more so but I am happy where I am. So if being all softy inside and wanting to help people, especially little kids and forcing yourself not to cry when you hear a sad story and loving the fact that someone thinks that you look good in that outfit. If that is part of feeling like a girl then I do all of the time.
By the way Lucille I like that leaning back part. I’m always trying to be straight up and down and create the right image but crossing my legs and just leaning back is a heavenly graceful feeling. Thanks for the advice.
Jennie hi,
I love your emotions and I share them all.
Your feelings are genuine and I have always loved myself as a girl.
Thanks for being you,

I don’t dress very often, but I do think of my femininity very often. Some time ago I noticed that many genetic femailes break out into a smail whenever our eyes meet. I puzzled about this for some time, before I realized they were responding to my smile.
Even when I am not trying to smile. I have out this down to the fact that I must unconsciosly turn my face, especially my mouth and eyes, into a smile and they are automatically responding in the same fashion.
I trust this make sence to everyone.+
Karen,
It makes total sense. Like you, I don’t get to dress up very often. Yet I constantly think about being Crissy.
I never thought about what you are saying before reading your post, but the same thing happens to me quite a bit as well. Both when I am in my normal male mode and when I am Crissy. My guess is the genetic women sense your (our) femininity and are drawn to it.
Keep smiling Girl!
