Purging

[Nancy (PA)]

I'm about to; just not into it like before. Any scared shoppers that might want some clothing for 6' 190#, size 12 heels?

[JoAnne Wheeler]

NANCY - PLEASE DO NOT PURGE - you will be sorry one day - I've been there

thought my CDing days were over - WRONG - it WILL comeback - don't

waste your investment - please don't purge

Don't do it, like it has been sugested before put it in a box and either put it in storage or have a friend hold it for six months if after six months you don't go back for your stuff you can then donate it.

it's just temporary

[Ediosa]

I will also agree with the rest. I have gone years in which I haven't dressed. It was always on my mind but never really wanted to do all the work. Well, it has come back big time and now I am happy that I still have all my stuff. Some of it's ten years old, but I am enjoying the clothes now more than ever. So, please don't do it.

They're right, I purged twice since being married, and I wish now I hadn't... it took years to follow the urge again, but I have, and one day I think you will again too.

And this is from someone who is 6', 187#, takes a size 12 heel, and is in the process of rebuilding a wardrobe... it would certainly be to my benefit to encourage you to purge. If you do, you will probably regret it.

Of course I could volunteer to be the friend who holds it for you for six months... :devil:

[iwearstockings]

Noo! Please don't do it! There must be some place you could stash it where no-one will find it. I have regretted it so much when I have purged..

[Angel.Marie76]

I concur with the rest, box it with some cedar and stuff it away where you won't see it or think about it for a while. I'll put five dollars on the table that in less than 5 years you'll go looking for it again.

Conversely though, IF, and I do strongly say IF you're really just looking to offer items up to the rest of us, jump over to the 'Classifieds' section of the forum and/or ebay it. I've purged my previously small collection about twice. Here I am starting to overwhelm my closet with more girly stuff now than men's, NOW looking to slowly purge out the mens drab yuckies.

[JulieK1980]

I soooo miss the shoes I had when I purged about 10 years ago.:sad:

As with the others, I don't recommend it, you'll end up regretting it later.

You will be sorry if you purge everything.. instead do a systematic purge.. in other words get rid of a few things or better yet pack everything up and store it somewhere.. bury it deep in a closet or put it in a weather proof box and bury it in your yard somewhere.. if you purge it to Davey Jones locker you'll be sorry...

[Ronni Seymour]

Let me also add my advice to NOT purge. As said before, just box everything up and store away. I haven't been in the mood for awhile but I've decided that I won't purge again.

[Vickii*]

I once purged. I had a brand new blonde wig I had got for cheap at a costume shop. It took me so much effort to get it. It was so pretty...Made me just melt the first time I wore it. Then I got scared and threw it out a couple weeks later. I regretted it. Don't purge, it's a waste.

[Di]

Please box it up and put out of sight listen to the ladies you will regret it.:hugs:

Another purge thread. :eek: That can only mean one thing... an eventual REGRET thread! :heehee:

I'm guessing you're old enough to understand that crossdressing doesn't just go away. Sooner or later, you'll get that urge again... and you'll be without your recently purged friends to help fill the void. You can always just store them away for a pink-foggy day, you know. :)

I guess if you're mind is set, then do your thing. We'll all be here to welcome you back to the wonders of crossdressing when you feel the longing once again.

As for me - I'm a cd for life, baby! :) I love being a cd! The only thing I'll ever purge is the thought of ever purging. :heehee:

I soooo miss the shoes I had when I purged about 10 years ago.:sad:

Don't miss 'em, they'd be sooooo out of style by now ;)

[amy canada]

It's okay to purge. I've done it twice or three times before, and I'm going to purge again soon, but this time, it'll be my men's clothes that I either no longer wear, is out of style, won't fit me, or has holes in it. LOL

No way I'll purge my women's clothes! Except maybe that old pair of panties that I still have that has lost its stretchiness. And maybe some of my thongs too. I ain't into thongs no more. Well, some thongs, but not others.

[anonymousinmaryland]

Box and hold; DON'T QUIT and FOLD! AIM.

[Trinity K]

Hello Nancy, I have a site that my wife and started for girls purging. I hold stuff for other crossdressers that feel the same way. And when they want them back they go back in the mail. Just take a Peak at my profile for the link. They are right if take them and get rid of them totaly you will wish you had them back.

Nancy, if you are closer to Phila than central PA and want me to hold your clothing for you for an agreed length of time, please let me know.

*huggg*

[cindym5_04]

Does purging count if it's just stuff that you don't fit anymore? LOL


I would agree with the others- don't purge all of your stuff. It may be okay to get rid of some, but don't get rid of all.

[Karren H]

Awwww... They are too big for me!! Sigh....

Better just keep them.. They will come in handy sooner than you think..

[beenherelongtime]

you'll regret it, store them. give it a year or so. and revisit your thoughts.

[Kimberly Marie Kelly]

Take the advice that everyone has offered. Store it away, if you purge it is like throwing money away and this economy isn't getting better, you may need those clothes someday. Kimberly :battingeyelashes:

[Jolene]

I have thought of storing some of my clothes away but would never think of getting rid of all of them at once. Nice clothes are hard to find. I am sorting through my wardrobe and giving away some things that I never wear or do not fit me well and that will make room for more things. I always seem to wear something but clothes will keep if not worn for a while. :)

[cdterri]

Don't do it,You will regret it. Store your clothes in the attic, basement or where ever You can. The day will come when You will want them again. If you dress You will very likely always dress.

[RWillow]

Don't do it. I've done it so many times I lost count. I regreted it much sooner than I thought. It took me years to learn my lesson that I would always be a CD'r, I will never purge again, NEVER. Listen to what all the girls are saying.

Don't miss 'em, they'd be sooooo out of style by now ;)

So true! :heehee:

[Tora]

Step away from the dumpster, and no one gets hurt. Store it, don't dump it.

[CD Susan]

Don't do it Nancy!!! Purging never works. The urge to cd will definately return since this is something that will always be a part of us. I made this mistake three times during the past 40 years of cd'ing and regretted it each time. Put your fem things in storage someplace until the urge comes back. You will be grateful that you did.

[MissConstrued]

By all means, purge! Sweatshop laborers depend on you for their pittance! :D

[Elise.Matei]

No Nancy purge! Thats okay. Just give ME all ur stuff tho, ok? :heehee:

Just kidding. Seriously, if u feel ur beyond this now, maybe u ARE. I mean, I can GAURANTEE u I will be bored at some point. For one thing, it is SOOOO time consuming! When u have a busy life, there's just no time for it all: makeup application; makeup removal; buying clothing... there's no end to it.

If ur just feeling guilty or something like that, then save urself a ton of $$$ and just store it all somewhere, in case u want to do it again later. But I do think CD'ing isn't something u HAVE to keep doing once u start, unlike what I have heard from some. LOL. It all depends on the person. When I'm not learning anything else more from doing this, or if I get bored with it... ummm.... then I can claim "Been there; Done that... yaaaaaawn...". And move on. OTOH, I DO recognize it is extremely impt to a certain number of those who are truly TG. And for them, its a religion since it is a true expression of their inmost self - and thats cool too.

:lol:

[pahosegirl]

I purged at 19 and though I didnt really lose anything of major value then, I would not do it if I had thoughts now. I know crossdressing urges will never go away for good and I have too much invested now to give it away an then regret it.

[Tammy298]

Purging will not make the urge to crossdress go away. I've been there and done that a couple of times! Eventually I regretted doing it both times....
You'd think I would have learned after the first time, but that was many years ago when I really thought I was a sick SOB!

[Cary]

Only purg to make room for new clothes!

[Katelyn]

Only purg to make room for new clothes!

:iagree:

I wish we had more of the story but hopefully you're purging just the clothes that don't fit anymore. If not, I'm very sorry. Either way, you can try craigslist, Ebay, or just donate them for a tax credit.

[Janet Bern]

Dont do it! My suggestion is that you put your stuff in a packaged place that is not convenient to access. That will help you feel you have purged. Eventually the urge comes back ( it always does) and you will be glad you wont have to start all over purchasing the same things you threw out.
One suggestion also would be to dump the stuff that you dont use anymore so you will have less to store
Good luck
