How Did You Start

[EjayeCD]

I started when my older sister dressed me up & I was addicted ever since I was 5-6.

[Kate T]

Not an addiction.

Always did to some degree from as early as I can remember. Nothing "caused" it, it just is.

[Karren H]

Don't quit know but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with an alien abduction!! Haven't figured out who got abducted yet.. :)

[Marcia Blue]

I was 5, and just had to play with lipstick. Not addicted just inhabited by a female spirit.

[ArleneRaquel]

At the age of eight I wore of of my mothers clothes, likely heels and a slip. I had a very old picturu of myself, at about the age of 4 being in a Halloween out fit with two older female cousins, who lived near by, I have remembered over the year that just before the picture was taken that they successfully attempted putting lipstick on me, which I remember hating at the time. Now I never leave home without lippy on my lips. OMG how we change and sometimes for the better. :thumbsup:

I remember sharing room with my sister because our grandparents lived with us. I would put on my sisters pantyhose when she wasn't home and for the life of me i can't remember the very first time i put on a pair of her pantyhose. I was about 5 or 6 at the time and when i got older and even now i would think back and wonder if my sister knew because every time i would put them on i would do the naughty thing in them and put them back in her drawer. Is it possible that she never noticed. Maybe one day i'll ask her.(NOT).

[Miranda09]

I'm not really sure when this all started!! It was definitely preteen but not sure how far back. What I can say is that I've been doing this with great regularity only over the past 2+ years! :)

[cdsara]

my mom thought it would be funny to put makeup on me when I was like 5 and I really enjoyed it. Started wanting to try other things from then on. plus I heard her say many times she wished I had been a girl.

[KimberlyJean]

Honestly I think my parents wanted a girl, I was the youngest of 3 boys. I think my earliest memory is when I was 4 or 5 my older cousin put me in her knee high boots (think 70's boots), I really liked them and still remember that very vividly. There were a couple of other instances while growing up that I remember but didn't act on. Early Teenage years I developed a curiosity in pantyhose and borrowed some of my mothers and have been dressing to some degree ever since.

[Alice B]

I don't know about alien abduction, but I do know that I have no idea why I sudenly wanted to start dressing. But now that I have started there is nothing that would make me stop.

[Noemi]

Me Too. Other comments are precisely my experience as well. Ya know I have all brothers and am the second child, they were expecting a girl, I would have been Michelle I have been told....

I remember this 60's girdle of Mom's that I used to put on when she was not home, wow that was the best, I was pretty young. I remember going to school with knee high panty hose. I never told anyone, ever, but of course Mom busted me, Mom's know everything. She did not approve and made fun of me. A simple woman who had a plan for me and that was that. love her still but hey.....

[kimdl93]

I started pretty much as everyone else. My very earliest recollections (perhaps from the age of 3-4) are of wearing or wishing I could wear my older sisters clothes.

[Pinky188]

I also started after my sister dressed me up! AND, she let me wear her dress!!! I was hooked ever since! We continued to play dress up until our dad busted us! Then the fun was over! But not really!!!

[Loveday]

Don't know, got around 50 and all these feelings came out of nowhere. I could not control them. I did have a doctor tell me in my forties that I needed to wear hose because of my heart but at that time I just could not make mysef do it. Now it is like I am making up for lost time.

[sissystephanie]

I tried on my older sisters panties when I was 6 y/o and got hooked!!

[Anna Lorree]

A photo that my mother has shows that I started early enough that I can't remember it.

As with MsArlene, I started at age 8. I was in my parents bathroom and saw a pair of heavy denier tan pantyhose hanging on the towel rack to dry. Wondering what it would be like to wear this tight stretchy fabric, checking to make sure the coast was clear, I slipped them on. The feeling was pure adrenaline immediately making me search my mind as to how I can have my own, they were instantly addictive. I knew they belonged to Mom, but I belonged in them.

Some things never change.

[ArleneRaquel]

ColleenCD,
A lovely post. Thank you for sharing.

[GBJoker]

I came home one day and had female clothes in my room that just barely fit me. When I got a job at Wal-Mart, I bought clothes that fit me far much better, and have been wearing them on occasion (sp?) ever since. Hoping to get a job at the next college I go to, so that I can buy some more stuff.

[Bree Wagner]

I don't think I've heard it ever described better. It was incredibly similar for me. The only problem is it's just so hard to get your own at that age. I'm pretty sure I was about ten when the bug bit me and those years waiting to get my driver's license were LONG! :daydreaming: Then taking even longer to get things that actually fit...

[CarlaC71]

i'm sure i played with a few female undies in my younger days, but i really got started when, as a joke, i played a female in an online chat room, and became more and more comfortable being a woman, and soon started dressing as a woman in private. A few months ago, i experimented with dressing and going out at night into secluded but still public places, and i'm hooked on it.

[Janelle_C]

I'm a middle child and everyone knows middle kids are always CDer lol. Really the ealiest memory was when I was about eight and my mothers clothes. Janelle

[Tera]

I remember when I was younger around 5ish that I would put on my moms things purely out of just being a kid and playing. Then I actually got into the whole deal about a year and a half ago simply because I wanted to know what it felt like to dress as a woman, needless to say I loved it!

[RileyEvans]

I found a red front closing bra at about the age of 7 and have been dressing ever since.

[Brittany CD]

I started as a kid of about 6 or so. I wanted to put on a bra once and thought it would be nice to wear one. 14 years later, I'm dressing up as a full woman

[TheresaLynn]

I'm a middle child and everyone knows middle kids are always CDer lol. Really the ealiest memory was when I was about eight and my mothers clothes. Janelle

That's interesting, I'm the oldest of 4, and highly suspect the youngest of being the same way too.

[serinalynn]

I was 11 when left home while mom and dad went to their friday nite card club. With no brothers or sisters, I was "Home Alone" and left to my own devices. I invaded moms panty drawer for a pair of her nylon panties. So soft and smooth. Then a bra hooked in the back still it was big but OK. Looking, no admiring myself in the full length mirror, Wow this is cool being a girl. Then a full slip and one mom's dresses and I felt like I was on my to girl heaven. I started looking at my girl classmates more for what they were wearing than the girl herself. I must have been fun dressing as a teenage girl. As it was I had 4-5 hours twice a week to dress up girly. It was a lot of fun having time to feel what it feels like to look like a girl. Now 40+ years later I dress as a casual woman everyday, 98% of my wardrobe is womens clothing, I wear a bra, panty, a cami and nylon stockings everyday.

[ManInBra]

I actually remember about age 10-11 I would babysit for friends of parents, a couple of them were single females, and so I would check out the girdles and stuff while I knew they were out and kids were asleep. Then I also had the curiosity seeing the pantyhose in the bathroom hanging to dry. I would put them on and wear them in the shower, and also I became very curious about how the bras would feel that laid on bathroom floor, or were in clothes hamper. Sadly I admit they were my moms, Sad I know. But later on after sister found out she would let me borrow her stuff or she would give me stuff, and she was very encouraging.

[k lynn]

As a kid of 4 or 5 my mom always find me feeling the panties and bras in the store when shopping one day saw my older sister in her bra and panties I was 7 something in my head said I want to wear them so I borrowed my sister bra and panties without her knowing would wear them quite often I was hooked mom found me wearing them about 2 weeks later she was not real mad she just made me take them off But a couple months later she found me wearing them again she asked me why I was wearing them again I said I like the way they feel She then said I should have know bythe way you always rub and feel them in the store.She then said if I wanted to wear panties and a bra I would have to buy my own So off to the store we went and now at 48 I still wear a bra and panties every day.

[Jocelyn Quivers]

It really was not much of a start with me. During my first few years of life, I saw my mother's clothes, liked them better than my clothes and then that was it for life.

[Julie Denier]

Started by clomping around in Mom's shoes as a toddler. Curiosity through my teens with occasional forays into Mom's closet. Dressed fully for the first time about a year and a half ago, at age 38.

[CarlaWestin]

I can only guess as to the real reason I started dressing. I vividly remember watching my Mother getting dressed for work in the morning. Always in the same order. Bath, she didn't want to mess up her perfectly styled hair. Then it was panties, bra and girdle. Then she would sit at her make-up table and really put on a show, slowly rolling nylons up each leg and checking the straightness of the seams. After carefully connecting the garters and stepping into heels, she would sit cross-legged and apply her make-up. She always slipped into her dress at the last minute after parading around beautifully made-up in lingerie while she finished her coffee. Oh, that elegant 50's style. Thanks, Mom.

[suchacutie]

Not a thing until I was 55 and as a bit of a goof was standing in front of my wife partially dressed en femme. Just as suddenly we were looking for a dress for me, gave me a name, separate e-mail address, signed up here, and started to try to understand 55 years of living in two genders without understanding it at the time.

It took 48 hours to go from a cis-man to the realization that there was, and had always been lurking, a strong feminine part of my personality. It felt like popping the clutch and spinning a car to face the other direction!

[diannecourtney]

I started late in life, but a thread above awakened a memory of a joke present of red silk panties. My reaction at the time was total disgust but you know deep mdown, I so wanted to try them on - it did not happen, but obviously it stands out in my mind as my bra and girdle surrounds me.

[Joann Smith]

cannot remember NOT liking femm stuff ever ....

[IamSara]

The earilest I can remember is about 10. I just always liked the way they felt and felt right when I began to wear them. Like Adina said not an addiction at all. It is me through and through.

[Stephanie47]

I cannot remember the exact age, but, I was a single digit midget. I use to try on my mother's nylon slips she hung in the only bathroom to dry. I loved the feel of them. Later, it was only natural to progress to her other garments.

[ashleymasters]

I remember being 3 and playing with moms lipstick. A few things like that until high school I started actually getting clothing and that was enough. I wasn't fully dressed just enjoyed the feel of something different. My parents found my stash and sent me to a shrink. So for the sake of easy living I let it go and it didn't resurface until a few years ago and now I'm honing the craft of passing. And of course having a blast in the mean time.

[Kelly Greene]

It started me with really enjoying how a bikini bottom felt and making due belt for a top because I could not the top that went with the bottoms and also my brother yelling for mom when he saw what I was doing.
Thats all I remember of the event I think it happened around the age of 5.
And that bikini bottom felt awesome!

[Kristy_K]

It was the interest in my Mom's clothes. I wasn't lucky enough to have a sister.

[aly01]

having younger sisters was a blessing. grabbed her panties and liked the feeling. after that tried on one piece swimsuit. continued borrowing her stuff every once in a while it was heaven. now being in my own home have my own panties and bras that I wear every chance I get.

[Marleena]

I just had to try on my older sister's new pink party dress and girdle and stockings on at around age 8. I have no idea why.

[Rachel Renee]

I was between eight and ten years old. I don't quite remember exactly which year it was, but I was fascinated by girly things and had been scheming a way to try on some of my sister's clothes. I spun a yarn about how I thought it would be fun to dress as each other for Halloween, but first wen needed to see if I could fit into her stuff. She was only a year and a half younger than me so she enthusiastically went with it. Plus, her stuff fit me almost perfectly (I was slightly runty in those days). Before I knew it, I was wearing a dress, tights, and a pair of her shoes. My little brain was flooded with endorphins and I knew that this was something I liked very much.

From that point on, it was lots of sneaking around until I was in my early twenties.

[JenniferLynn0370]

I was brought out of the delivery room in a pink blanket...really...too many boys born that day. I remember having my own purse as a toddler (one of those "snap-shot" memories) and being told by mom one day that I didn't need to bring my purse when we were leaving to go somewhere. There are pics of me with my purse while wearing mom's long gloves. I wore mom's clothes and played dress up with my sister every single chance I had and it just seemed right and always has!

[StacyC]

Age 30. Found out my girlfriend liked me as a girl when we played together in a kinky way. Have always been kinda fem since I never had a positive male role model growing up. Never thought of dressing as a girl but the girls I'm in love with love it. So ill continue for them, and a little for me. :)

[Launa]

I got caught by my folks playing with lipstick at a real young age and everyone one said hmmm... then made a bunch of excuses amongst themselves and swept it under the carpet. Then I had a girlfriend in grade 9, I was at her house one morning, her and her friend thought it would be a good idea to dress me up as a girl. I said well I don't know... but you never saw anybody move so fast to sit down on the stool and let them go at me. That was quite the rush!

[Sarah-J]

I recall occasionally putting on a bra if I found it in the hamper when I was growing up. While I liked how it felt, I never considered ever getting my own. Fast forward about 25 years or so and it had never crossed my mind at all during that time. About three years ago--and I still have no idea what possessed me to do it--I bought one for myself. Since then my wardrobe has been growing, albeit slowly.

[Tina B.]

Started at around age 6, went in to take my bath, and remember my big sisters slip hanging on the back on the door, nothing special, just a plain white full slip. I locked the bathroom door, and undressed while filling up the tub, That darn slip just kept hanging there, but some how I knew that slip wanted me to put it on, so what is a kid to do, I did. After that nightly I would eagerly head off to the bath, lock the door, and rip into the hamper to see what treasures I could find. being known to read a lot, and always taking a book in to the bathroom with me, I could get away with a long time of play, before anyone would start to holler about how long I had been in there. By the time I was old enough to get to stay home alone, I used any excuse I could not to go places, like shopping, or visiting friends of the family that didn't have kids my age. At around twelve, my sister got married and took all of her lovely things and left the state, and after that I had to make do with mom's clothes, which where not as nice as a teenage sister, but still got me through the rest of my childhood.

I started with a nighty my mom and dad were getting a devorce and my mom was throwing out a bunch of stuff I saw it in the plastic bag and was home alone and tried it on. I just love how it felt. So I took a few thing and hid them. I still to this day wonder why I got in my head to try that stuff on but am glade I did

[MandySarahR]

I tried on my mom's bra and girdle that were hanging in the laundry room at around 12 years of age. She regularly hung many there which is where my shower was. How could I not be curious? Lacy white bras and girdles!

[ronda]

i just remember dressing in my sisters dress panties and heels at 3 and my saying he'll grow out of it iam wondering when i'll grow out of itso far i ahve only grown into better fitting things love my heels

[lorettastvns]

I was raised by my aunt, and ever since I remember, I fantasized about being a girl. I would always try to come up with some way of telling my aunt that I wanted the pink lace undies the girls used, or some pink dress I would like from a store. I never did, but I started wearing her slips when she was not home. During primary school, I remember coming back home to be alone for some while and enjoying myself trying all of her underwear, stuffing the bras cups with my socks.
One day ( I must have been probably 10 ), I fell asleep on her bed, with her clothes on. When I woke up, she was already home, preparing dinner. I was sure she had seen me as I noticed she had changed clothes in her own room, but she said nothing and behaved normally.
I stopped dressing for a while, until I fell into temptation once again and started trying all of her nice undies on me. She must have realized, and probably asked for some professional advice. Probably she felt I needed to somehow come out to her, and some day she was going out she left on my bed without me noticing, a set of bra and panties. I remember feeling a mixture of shame and relief. From that moment something changed, and I when we bought clothes, I felt free to say " I want different ones.." and she would understand what I meant. In time I started to wear not only undies, but dresses, jeans, everything I want, more openly.
I love my aunt, and if it wasn't for her, I don't know..

[Ally 2112]

i was born on halloween .I also had dreams before i was even 7 or 8 years old did not get it then but i get it now crazy just crazy .I was always in a dress i did not even know the difference between boys and girls .Btw i still do not get it ?:)

[Emma Leigh]

Pretty amazing Loretta, I simply tried my on my mothers slip when I was 8, she went mad and told me to never do it again, and I never did with her knowing (I think) :heehee:

[Lori B]

I got into my sisters stuff and thus began my journey:battingeyelashes:

[Traci Lynn]

For me I am 9, but I dressed in my moms nylons and slips for years, my first memory of dressing was when I was 6 and I was forced to wear my sister panties because mine were all in the wash. I cried and cried and later I stole her bra! She is 4 years older them me, so she did all the wonderful girly things I never got to do. Cheerleading, Many Proms and formals (my favorite to this day) Thigh Highs and a pleated skirt are my kriptonite.

I still have three or four skirts, in the back of my closet, and a couple skirts, one bra and panty set and a black garter for my thigh highs. Even bought some heels. I will never be fully male again.

[moniquemn]

I guess I was in my early teens. Was totally in ah of my moms clothes, very pretty and feminine. Started with bra and panties and the rest is history.

[Berta82]

Started at about age 5 or 6. I loved the feel of my mothers nylon panties and slips. I remember that I stopped until I was 11. It was after we moved and I was staying with my grandparents. I went upstairs to our old apartment and found a bag of my mothers underthings. I tried everything on, plus I found some old dresses and shoes.It was heaven. I couldn't wait to visit my grandparents. It has been 32 years and I am still dressing.

[lindacrossed]

I think I started around 10 y.o. wearing leather gloves and putting on some mom's rings other them. I think it was something about softness and smell of the leather.
