Super stealth , easy access hiding places

[Lexi Moralas]

My last tread has me wondering , what great hiding places other girls may have come up with for our "stuff". To be honest I could use a little advice about where I could keep a small amount of stuff out side of my home that I could gain easy access to when I travel.
The best spot I have had in the past was I owned a large SUV and was able to pop off the interior panels and hide enough stuff in there to get the job done. In fact back in the day when I was able to go out dress quite often , that hiding spot is what made it possible I always had enough stuff with me to put together a couple of outfits , a. Couple choices of shoes. And a pocket book to hold all the make up , jewelry and press on nails I needed to complete the look. Sadly I don't own that vehicle any longer and that plan doesn't work with my current ride.
What kind of creative hiding place advice to you girls have for me ? I need some real super 007 ideas.
Thanks girls
Lexi

Luggage locker in a Greyhound/train station? Open 24/7 and cheap. Some risk of theft I guess, but I haven't researched it.

More Jason Bourne than 007, but then 007 wasn't a fugitive...

Best way is to be lucky and have an accepting wife although she worries that if we die at the same time the kids will wonder who wore the forms and the 13 n 14 size heels.

[Rhian]

Laptop case.

[Kristy 56]

Well I can tell you a hiding place that I wouldn't recommend. An attic over a garage in Florida during the summer. Unfortunately,that's where my stuff is,and it's been way too hot to get up there. I'm thinking maybe a small climate controlled storage unit would work if you had a place to dress. :)

Don't worry, they won't wonder for long.

[Stephanie47]

I really cannot give you a recommendation other than to get a different more accommodating car. I had to chuckle about hiding your femme stuff in the SUV. I had visions of the customs officers doing a search for drugs in your SUV.....checking all the places you hid clothes, someone else will hide drugs. In Seattle there is a service for cross dressers for renting a locker for storage and an area for dressing. Maybe you should get together outfits and conceal them in a USPS Priority Mail box and throw it in the truck of the car.

Sometimes I think the best way to approach all this turmoil is to let a wife know and let the chips fall where they may. She may not like it. She may divorce you. She may just let you do your thing without letting people close to you know. My original stash was in the bottom draw of my amoire. Now it occupies eighteen Xerox boxes sitting in the storage area of our home. My wife is not supportive but never says a word. Perfect DADT. When I worked out of town for up to a week I got my ensembles together in one or two boxes. I cannot image going though hiding everything all the time. Sorry for you.

[Sandie70]

I don't have to hide my stuff - just keep them in a special six foot storage cabinet in the back of the apartment. Maybe something like that with a false back on each shelf like magicians use?

Oh, and if you keep your things in a car in a climate like where I live, in the summer don't store your cosmetics there... they'll be soup on one of our 104 degree days.

[Tracii G]

You girls are crafty but why not hide them in plain sight?
The large locked compartment in a Snap On tool chest? If you kept the boxes off a set of custom wheels there would be a good place.
Any auto parts related boxes or any boxes tool related there is a good chance your wife isn't going to look there.
I live alone so my girl stuff is in closets/ drawers and all my make up is in my pink caboodle in the bathroom closet with my rollers,make up mirror and hair dryer.
On a funny note a friend asked to use my bathroom and my hot rollers were out on the counter.
He did his business and came out and said hey I didn't know you had a girlfriend living with you.
I said I don't the hot rollers are mine. He said oh OK.

[Lauri K]

I suppose I am fortunate, I don't have to hide anything.

My wife has seen it all or most all of it, so its just more clothes, makeup and heels in the house.

She will sometimes ask me if I am ever going to ever buy any more men's clothes................I just look at her but never give a direct answer

Like Traci G, I am sure our guests have went into the bathroom and wondered "what the hell is all this stuff" on both vanities.

Oh well, this what happens when you are out to your SO........

Eventually hiding will only lead to getting caught, I understand the necessity to "hide" but it is only a temporary solution

A huge weight will leave your shoulders when you are out and open to your SO

[Lily Catherine]

As of now, three cardboard boxes from buying paper in bulk, 3 pairs of heels in their respective worn out boxes, and make-up hidden in an unused cash box - all of which are under my bed in a storage space.

[Sometimes Steffi]

I have a large box that my CRT display came in that I use as a side table in my office. I hide some clothes in there.

But, my best hiding place is a storage locker. Mine is indoors, so it never gets really hot or cold. For a few more bucks, I could have gotten a climate controlled one.

[AprilMayy<3]

Not 007 esque, though I feel my spots have been pretty useful.
1st spot that worked really well was having a bag with my female clothes under the male clothes in my hamper(Decoy clothes! I did laundry don't worry!)
2nd spot for a bit was the trunk of my car. 1994 Honda, so the trunk only opens with my key. My only worry was the clothes would fall out if the bag when I was driving like the 19 y/o I am in a Honda :P
Now my current spot is literally in plain site. It hides behind my desk and bookshelf. Its out of sight when you walk into my room, but any farther and you can see the bag. No one has asked anything about it, so that's good. (Plus, I've come to the conclusion, if someone goes in to my room with suspicions about the bag and they find it, congrats they have found what they were looking for.)

[Sara Jessica]

He did his business and came out and said hey I didn't know you had a girlfriend living with you.
I said I don't the hot rollers are mine. He said oh OK.

This absolutely rocks!!!

As for the hiding thing, sorry...I just cannot fathom having to go there. Perhaps easier said than done but just open up to the SO's already and the problem is solved.

Now if it isn't about a SO but instead, about the parental units...I can empathize. Remember the old Atari 5200? That box was my hiding place. One dress, bra, hosiery, heels...pathetic, huh???

[OCCarly]

Boy am I glad I don't have that problem. My beautiful wife said to me that she totally supports my dressing, the only restriction is that I cannnot "come out like Caitlyn Jenner."

That said, keeping women's clothing, especially sexy women's clothing, hidden in your car is risky. If a cop ever sees that stuff then you have a choice of either admitting you are a closeted crossdresser or being suspected of pimping. If you have to have the clothes in your car, the best place is a duffel bag in the trunk labeled "emergency supplies" and put the first aid kit, solar blanket, road flares and bottled water on top of them, and the jumper cables way on top, and pray that your car does not break down when your wife is driving it, and she asks another guy for help.

Better to keep them in the bottom of a large toolbox in the garage. Or, buy an old tower case computer, clean the guts out, connect it to your current home office setup via a dummy ethernet cable and plug it in with a fake power cord. If your wife asks, it is a secure personal storage device :battingeyelashes:.

But I really think you should just come out to your wife, like I did.

[Tracii G]

If I were to get into another relationship I wouldn't hide any of my girl stuff I would just say hey thats the way I am take me or leave me.

Yeah, the last time a cop searched my car I had this problem...

Or not.

I seriously doubt that police officers would equate such clothing to something like pimping and even so, where is the proof? Admitting one is a CD/TG? Who cares? The world wouldn't explode in such circumstances but regardless, this entire notion fosters unnecessary paranoia.

[Jane G]

Used to keep a bra and slip, plus a few other bits and bobs, in my spare tool bag, back when I was in the navy. No one ever found them.

[Vala]

Like others have suggested I kept my stuff in a large toolbox with a lock on it. And now my stuff is every where. Clothes do need to get cleaned, make got mixed up so it was better to just keep it all together. And now the toolbox only holds forms.

[jigna]

My wife take care of my feminine cloths and I do not wear wig since she is the only one person to see my beauty when we are alone.
I can not imagine wearing such cloths and going out.

[Persephone]

When I was about 8-9 years old I found a bra in the street (must have had quite a backstory but I never found it out). The band fit me perfectly! I figured it was a gift from God. But where to hide it?

Nowhere in the house was safe so I climbed my favorite tree and fastened it around one of the larger branches. It was totally hidden by leaves and whenever I wanted it I could climb my tree and retrieve it.

But, like you, Lexi, at the time we were living in New England, and as Fall arrived and the leaves fell my poor bra became a lonely, and very visible, flag on the tree.

Later I hid my meagre stuff inside the speaker cabinet of my stereo. Kept a screwdriver handly in my room and I would disassemble the back of the speaker cabinet to retrieve my stash.

But you want to keep it outside of the house (without climbing trees or worrying about leaves falling). So a self-storage locker, a friend's house, a crossdresser "safe space" locker, some already recommended, are good places.

Hugs,
Persephone.

[Secret Drawer]

If you have to hide your stuff for whatever reason you may have, the plain sight thing is good advice. Before my "reveal," I hid my stuff in my bowling bag, a briefcase that sat next to my desk that I just never used (for some reason!) and a small carry on suitcase that was sitting on the top of my wardrobe. Aside from my wife finding the stuff in my bowling bag, after she went looking for something unrelated, the briefcase and suitcase never failed. Now everything is just in my wardrobe with everything else.

[Jennifer B]

The best hiding place that I ever had was a locked metal filing cabinet. If you have a study or home office, a filing cabinet fits right in. You can keep documents in the suspension folders, but there will still be plenty of room at the bottom of each draw and behind the folders, to keep shoes, dresses and accessories in. You can even open the draws halfway and all you can see is the suspension folders on the rails, not what's behind and below them. And it's got a valid reason to be locked and off bounds, if you keep your business documents or financials in there, that's no one else's business.

[CONSUELO]

I haven't hidden my clothes ever. I just hang them in the closet and put small items in drawers. I'm glad I don't have to worry about this issue. Good luck to those of you who do.

[Christie ann]

I wish the need wasn't so, but I hide everything in the crawl space. No one goes there except me, understandably.

[brynnewilliams]

My wife knows now, so everything I own is in the closet and drawers, but before she knew I had to get creative. Behind the bathtub, trunk of hotrod to which only I had the key, locked section of tool box in garage, between mattress, the possibilities were endless, lol. Another trick is order her a few dresses or shoes in the mail but purposely order something in your size if your bigger, then play the "they must have made a mistake card". Hang it in the closet and forget to return it. Bingo, an outfit you can keep in plain sight.

[Cassandra*]

Recently I came out to my wife and every thing was placed in my dresser drawer. I figure she doesn't do my laundry and she already new I wear panties and panty hose so when I told her I just opened the drawer. The garage is always the best option if your a hot rodder. The rule is no one, absolutely no one near my toys.

[Krisi]

Away from home, the best option is a storage locker. The problem is, you have to pay for it and unless you pay cash, someone might see the credit card statement or checkbook. Also, these places have video cameras. Of course if it's big enough, you can dress in it and that's a big plus. Keeping stuff behind a door panel in a car seems like so much trouble that you would never use it.

[Judith96a]

I use a self-storage unit. It's not cheap but it works.

[Diane1950]

I'm so glad I don't have to hide my stuff anymore. At one time I had panties, slips and stockings stashed inside a tall stereo speaker AND MY WIFE FOUND THEM!! So no place is totally safe.

[Badwolf]

Great hiding spots are REALLY personal for a reason. They all depend on who your trying to hide it from, what your budget is, and what spaces you control(even how they are designed). You will also be limited by HOW much you plan on hiding as well.

I saw on here at one point someone who built a compartment into a wall by the entrance so they could have a "go bag" with most of the stuff you listed you had in your car. This worked for them because they had the ability to build it without anyone else who knew that it was being installed caring.

Basements can work well for this, so can attics. For discrete access in attics are a little less practical. If you can't easily control the space during construction, look for empty space in-between built in features of the house, or space in drawers your not using where a false bottom can create some. These can be the most economical and generally safe for this type of thing. Some knowledge of how to build stuff may be required though.

If you need relatively a LOT of concentrated storage, or it HAS to be outside the house, places that specialize in storage will be your best bet.

[Brandy]

I keep most of my stuff in a plastic tub in the garage. I labeled the box "My Keepsakes" and put a few old items on top in case it's ever opened. I also keep a small cache under a bunch of clothes in a drawer for easier access. I periodically switch items out between the two.

[Anne-Sofie]

I use a and old backpack that is under my bed for my heels 1 pair of heels and I use my Imac box under my desk for the rest of my stuff. Nobody is going to look in those two parts.
And even if they would open them you would see plastic bags. You really need to dig into them before you find my stuff.

007 ideas? There are so many storage lock-ups around these days. Here are some thoughts:

If all your shoes were in their boxes, then your ladies shoes could be hidden in plain sight.
Socks are great receptacles for little "things".
A ready-packed gym bag with towel/man-shirt at the top might be an uninteresting thing for your SO to not bother exploring.

The centres of old trees are effectively dead wood, so you could make a panel from bark, hollow-out a chamber and stash there.
An old toolbox with the top full of dirty spanners etc would not be too interesting to inquisitive female eyes either.

[Tora]

Off site storage locker. Private Secure.

[Caden Lane]

Back in my teenage douche bag days, I had big car stereo system. One of my boxes had room for three twelve in subwoofers. I had three, but only two were active, the third was "in a constant need of rewiring." It also only had a few screws holding it on. I also had a few lock-boxes I supposedly kept collectibles and comic books in.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Lexi, Everything is hidden in plane sight in three closets,
MyDA/DT:love:Wife knows about everything, She just doesn't want to see me while I'm dressed.

I know my boundaries and stay with in them and Life is great.:daydreaming:

[UNDERDRESSER]

I don't have to worry about these days, but when I was a teen and living with my parents, I eventually collected a few pieces that I didn't want them to find. A slim closet in the corner of the room had a panel above the door. Inside, there was a high shelf that was a little awkward to get to, so it got used for stuff that was hardly ever used. The panel on the outside left a space behind, I made up a panel for the inside face, and thus got a slim little cupboard that you couldn't see unless you stuck your head up there.

[victoria76]

If I were to get into another relationship I wouldn't hide any of my girl stuff I would just say hey thats the way I am take me or leave me.

I like that answer! :) I believe I feel similar!

[Lacey New]

In the unfinished attic between the plywood flooring and the joists. In heavy duty plastic bags. Move some insulation out of the way - bags in, replace the insulation and hope the sheetrock never falls down. It would be raining panties.

[Candice June Lee]

As a kid i hid stuff between the matress and bkx spring. Looking back, i wonder how much stuff was found. Since being on my own, with and with out my 3 wives, they have been stored in the regular drawers like anyother clothes. I have found hiding them in regular plain view is the best place to "hide" them.

[Roli F]

Had heard a conversation between two other CD's last year concerning hiding all femme kit, in an oversize golf bag modified, that had golf club heads cut off and fixed into a plug made of black painted plywood and kept in a corner of the garage
sounded a good sneaky place to hide it all.
