Favorite part of crossdressing while not actually dressing....

[mykell]

weird right :straightface:.... i noticed that when i shower i love the smoothness and how the water beads down my hairless legs......like i said weird :doh:

anyone else weird like that ??? care to share something you like without dressing....

[sarab]

Not weird at all, love the way the water runs down my smooth body, legs especially.

[karen inside]

Naaaa, not weird, don't have much hair in my legs and since we wear shorts most of the year here ( yes..I'm still hiding so i cannot shave) I have been using lava brand soap on the legs-kinda polishes the skin besides wearing off some of the hair- that bare slippery skin feels soooo good!

[JustWendy]

I love lathering up my shower sponge and running it over my legs. The whole shower experience is amazing when you're hairless and smooth.

[NicoleScott]

The most exciting crossdressing-related items for me are not actual articles of clothing. High heels, makeup (especially lipstick), long painted fake nails, straight wigs with bangs, eyelashes.......then clothes.

[PattyT]

I tend to buy a lot of clothes though mail order. Therefore one of my favorite parts of cross dressing when not actually cross dressing is looking through the catalogs I use on the Internet and chosing new outfits, and finding new ones which have just gone on the market. I spend a fair amount of time doing this on the numerous days I cannot go out en femme. Another aspect I like is choosing what to wear as a day approaches when I'll be going out en femme. Thinking about what style, what color to wear, how to match various items of clothing, even shoes and bags, is a lot of fun. I like to wear a matching pendant and choosing this can be fun too.
I am also very much into Lolita Fashion and checking the websites related to this is also a huge pleasure. It's inspiring and gives me lots of tips.
These three activities go far to tiding me over to　my next outing.

[Alice Torn]

Opening packages from ebay!

[heatherdress]

I have a large closet with all my shoes, clothing, wigs and jewelry neatly organized. I have pictures of myself dressed on the walls. I enjoy stepping into my closet and thinking about what outfit or pair of heels I will wear the next time I dress. Maybe I will put on a pair of heels or piece of jewelry - and just enjoy the feelings.

[Krististeph]

Shaved legs at the gym lifting heavy weights or cycling, or shopping en drab.

[Half-CD]

That's not weird! I love the feel of my legs when they're smooth. I trim my lower legs, but tend to shave the top. I also shave my bum, which when smooth, feels amazing!

[docrobbysherry]

After all the years of going out, it still happens!

I see lip prints on my glass and think, "That's not my glass, it's some woman's." Then, "Oh rite. I'm wearing lipstick!":battingeyelashes:

[Teresa]

Mikell,
My favorite part is thinking about outfit combinations then searching the charity and retail shops to bring it together.

If you want a list then next is seeing ring of nail polish around the edges that won't come off !

[Helena J]

I shaved my legs once in winter easy to hide then I just loved the feeling so smooth and feminine I couldn't stop running my hands over them and any thing touching them felt so amazing soft sheets etc I really need to shave them again miss it so much :daydreaming:

[Janice An]

I'm kind of like Patty T. I search the internet for new clothes quite often.
I also love Lolita fashions, it is so feminine!!!!
I have over a thousand pictures of lolitas that cycle on my computer desk top.

[CarlaWestin]

I work in a very public setting. I love it when I see a woman wearing something that I would feel great wearing. Or seeing fabulously applied makeup.
It's like a crossdressing idea farm.

[Beverley Sims]

Nothing weird in having feelings like that, my imagination runs wild, often.

Irrespective of how I am dressed I always look at the way "other women" present themselves.

[Patty Phose]

My favorite part of cross dressing is wearing silky pantyhose.

[mykell]

hi patty, silky pantyhose are clothes, did you misread the OP.....

[AnnieMac]

Figuring out my future make-up purchases and looks. Observing how women and girls are dressed in different situations and how they carry themselves so I can learn.

[MarciManseau]

For me, first it's preening in front of the mirror, then second shopping. I love going through the mall and checking out all the sales.

[Stephanie47]

That's easy to answer. I go on line and peruse various sites for women's clothing, and, usually end up buying something. I love window shopping.

[LashingKarma]

shaving and lotion is my favorite part

[cdtraveler]

Let's see where to start...shopping, mani pedis, and using all the great body care products availabe to keep me soft smooth and feminine.

Amanda

[lainey]

Like many others that have replied shaving my legs while taking a bubble bath is my favorite pre crossdressing ritual. As I shave my hair I feel like I'm removing my masculinity and transforming into Lainey. Getting a pedicure at the salon is a close second.

[Abbey11]

Being on this site! And reading all the fun stuff.

[janec]

I love lathering up my shower sponge and running it over my legs. The whole shower experience is amazing when you're hairless and smooth.
love the feeling of reshly shaved leg and body and the feeeling of theduvet on them at bed time

[gabriella1964]

Painting my nails and toe nails makes me feel that extra sexy, but def the smooth body from head to toe is the best.

[Alice_2014_B]

I too love the feeling of my smooth legs.
Another thing is shopping online for heels and dresses.
:)

[sometimes_miss]

When my nails are all just the right length, I'm not scheduled to work for a while, so I can polish my nails and leave them that way. Wasting away an evening doing nothing but hanging around, just to make sure they're nice and set dry so I don't ruin them by doing something while they're not quite yet cured. Having pretty nails feels nice, just like wearing the clothes. I know it's something pretty insignificant, but I understand why women go to have them done, even if I don't.

[JocelynJames]

I like viewing female clothing and formulating how I would ( if I would) wear it . Also the makeup commercials, I put myself in their place. ( the new Katy Perry one for mascara- would love to dress like that and do the commercial)

[GeorgeA]

Being on this site! And reading all the fun stuff.
I was about to post a similar comment, then I found this and I agree.

[nikkiwindsor]

I like to grow out my natural nails as long as I can while hiding them from my coworkers. It's a little bit of femininity that is always with me whether dressed or not. Right now, I have about 3 weeks growth. Today, I had a presentation before the boss and I made sure to hold a notepad with one hand and a pen with the other keeping my longer nails out of sight! With the weekend approaching I'll paint them a pretty shade of dark red...can't wait!!

[Tina_gm]

Nothing like the feeling of having just shaved all but my arms, and using caress body wash, the fragrance, the smoothness....

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Mikell:hugs:, I too love the feel of clean smooth body in the shower & wearing triple Diamond studs 24/7 . ~~...:daydreaming:...

[joanna4]

Oh I love that sight and sensation. Its so majestic and lasts until your leg hair grows back.

[Milly1410]

I too love the feeling of my smooth legs.
Another thing is shopping online for heels and dresses.
:)


And I quote, no better sensation than that :)

[vicky_cd99_2]

being smooth all over including my arms. Just the feeling is awesome. I wear earrings 24/7. now if I could wear girl clothing everyday.

[Veronica Lacey]

I simply enjoy opening my armoire and various drawers to view my feminine wares; the colours, fabrics, styles...almost calming unto itself :)

[NANNETTE]

Looking at websites that sell womens clothes. I love looking at dresses, skirts and dresses and imagining what I would look like in them. Love looking at shoes as well, love court shoes and peep toe sandals.

[CourtneyJamieson]

I agree with Nannette. My internet is now flooded with advertisements for women's clothing. Every pop-up is now trying to sell me alluring dresses and sexy shoes. And they always suck me in. I always have to click on the ads to view the dresses, skirts, and shoes. I guess advertising really works. Who'd have thought.

[Samantha981]

In the last month it has definitely been participating on this site!
The other part I enjoy is wearing nude and/or sheer lipstick or gloss. Nothing like the feel of a nice creamy lipstick. Not at work or home but running errands or shopping. Not bold or bright that obvious from a distance, but when checking out a clerk would notice.

[Chelsea B]

Looking at websites that sell womens clothes. I love looking at dresses, skirts and dresses and imagining what I would look like in them. Love looking at shoes as well, love court shoes and peep toe sandals.

That is exactly it for me as well. Ad shape wear too.

[Hell on Heels]

Hell-o Mikell,
A fresh shave is always a good feeling, but it's become somewhat "norma"l at this point.
The hairy stubble definitely feels like something is wrong. And letting it all grow back for that
Mexico getaway with some old friends we hadn't seen in a while was tough.
Something I find fun, and is similar to others (just taken a step further), is girl watching.
Admiring an outfit, makeup, and accessories, wondering if I could put a similar outfit together.
It's actually a more "real life" way of viewing a certain style, rather than seeing a few pics of an
outfit on a size 0 model on the internet
Part of the fun (for me anyway) is if I'm with my SO. In the past she may have caught me
checking out some girl (and of course she would be thinkin' what she should be thinkin')
but now that she's "in the loop", she knows why I'm looking.
Oh yeah!.... then there's talking with our CDing friends that we've made! That's way cool!
Much Love,
Kristyn
@ Gendermutt... I'm gonna have to try some of that Caress Body Wash!
Thanks!

[njcddresser]

Catching the scent of my perfume throughout the day.

Or looking in the mirror and seeing the curve of my feminine eye brows.

[IamWren]

I think my favorite thing about crossdressing without crossdressing is watching makeup tutorials on youtube. Some of the women who create those vids are really, really funny and quite beautiful as well. Plus I've learned so much watching them.

[Deedee Skyblue]

A few small, fun things jump to mind. I am always absolutely thrilled when I reach into the dryer and grab a pair of flimy panties... and, it is kind of neat when my upper arms bump into boobs... when I tape, I love the look and touch of the boobs spilling out of the top of the bra.

Deedee

[Annamarie B]

Chatting about cross dressing with others like those here who understand the urge is one of my favorite aspects when not dressed, and it is even more fun when dressed!

[msannacd]

Being able to talk to my female friends about clothes and make-up. I've been giving tips since before I came out and attributed it to my theatre background;)

[TrishaTX]

shopping!!!!!

[Maria Blackwood]

Browsing catalogs

[Robin414]

I love seeing a super attractive GG wearing the exact same jacket I have, affirms my style choices 😀

[Deedee Skyblue]

Just thought of two more. Talking about dressing with a gg bff, and the coolness under fingernails when brushing on polish.

deeDee

[AKADonna]

When not actually dressing, the part I enjoy most is thinking about being dressed and thinking through all of the feminine decisions that have to be made for each outfit. The lingerie, how the bra will project with a certain top and how will it drape over my belly. I think about my makeup, jewelry, wig, what shoes to wear with what, etc,etc,etc. It's fun being a woman!

[Mindy Fey]

I love the shopping for women's clothes as much if not more than wearing the clothes. It's so thrilling to go into a store and see all these sexy dresses, shoes, underwear etc.

[Karine]

I like anticipate my next crossdressing session. I look for clothes, shoes (not easy to find 10.5 heels for wide foot), makeup and try to imagine the next outfit and makeup I will try.

[JamieGdukes]

I do this as well, then the wife catches me and says "Cut Your Nails!" I've noticed a lot of woman can't grow their own and have to have them professionally done. I look at mine growing beautifully and think can I sneak them by another week.

[StarrOfDelite]

I have to admit that there is something sinfully delicious about slathering coconut butter lotion on every square inch of my skin after I do a full body shave.

[Michaela42]

I'm kind of like Patty T. I search the internet for new clothes quite often.
I also love Lolita fashions, it is so feminine!!!!
I have over a thousand pictures of lolitas that cycle on my computer desk top.


You are so correct about the Lolita fashions. SO feminine! I love them, but sadly I am a little to large for most of them and cannot really afford a custom outfit.

As for non-dressing things I love. Showering with shaved legs is a thrill, but I also love taking care of my nails. Keeping them shaped, smooth, and covered in clear lacquer is just something I love to do for myself.

[reb.femme]

During my boy cycle, I'm an in the shower and out type. All very functional.

In girl mode, I laze in the bath with the radio on, I love chat radio, LBC in particular (weird or what?), shaving my legs, arms and pits, showering down after and smoothing baby oil over myself. It really is one of life's ultimate pleasures :). After that, its prepping my toenails in a soak and colouring them, somewhere between lilac and purple shade wise.

A bit of clothes browsing on-line but going to the shops to buy, is my last guilty pleasure. Well, guilty as in I don't have any remorse, save for the fact that I can't buy (shouldn't buy?) all that I want. :devil:

Becky

[marlacd]

Looking online for heels. I gave up trying to find them in stores. There just isn't any that I've seen at shoe stores in size 14. Oh wait, I did once-Gads! were they hideous! Only one plus with large feet, I can wear 5 inch heels easily. Four inch heels feels like flats to me.

[sometimes_miss]

Using the feminine scented products when washing. I love taking long showers, and the scent fills the room. If I'm going out or to work, I end the shower with some Old Spice or Axe body wash and sprays, just as part of my 'man uniform'. The one thing I don't change? the cocoa butter/coconut scented hair stuff. Love the smell, reminds me of 'beach'.

Thanks!

this is striking a cord with me, my deal is over.....not in the summer :sad:
and at 7weeks back i just want to rip the hair out, may need to epilate next fall :Pullhair:

i find our talks together are special :o only thing that could be better would be to meet in real life :D im baffled how many folks are here from jersey but find how difficult it is getting together with someone can be :eek: especially when their seems to be some interest.....

[Diversity]

I don't think it's wierd at all, as it brings your spirit closer to your feminine side. I have my little 'enjoyments' as well and one of them is like yours.
Enjoy these special moments.
Have fun!
Di

[Jenny22]

Putting on a bright red lipstick and drinking coffee, adoring my lip print.

[krissy]

I love caress myself .wife cant stand it but it smells soooo good and i feel so soft too! lol

[Adriana Moretti]

shopping??? thats my fav...xoxo

[Renee Elise]

Hi Mikell, nothing weird about that at all - it feels awesome and builds up the anticipation for getting ready ;). I'll second what Adriana said and say SHOPPING! The only problem with that is, of course, that it's impossible to only buy one thing. A new outfit almost always necessitates new shoes, which then leads to new unmentionables, stockings, etc. etc...

[Charlessa]

I think it's the shopping. I love wearing the stuff. but going to places like Victoria's Secret and shopping for myself while having sa's help me is a thrill. I'm usually dressed as a man is "supposed" to dress

[CrossKimmy]

I love the prep part

the shaving, the lovely scents, the lotions, the setting up outfits on my bed

[Fiona123]

I just finished shaving legs and under arms. I love the smoothness.🌺

[Martha G]

Putting on my makeup, especially my red lipstick. I love red lips.

[Sandyhappygirl]

For me it is people watching as I enjoy sharing the fun with my wife. Now my wife understands my interest in how girls look we like nothing more than to pass comment to each other about other girls dress sense whether they be on the TV or in real life. I have to confess that I'm not sure which I prefer, whether to applaud a lovely girl who has got the look just right or have a bitch about someone who has got it totally wrong. I love it when I can say 'who is she trying to kid in that dress, must think she's 3 sizes smaller and 20 years younger than she is'. I know I'm horrid but hey, I didn't tell her to wear it, lipstick on the gorilla and all that :D

[Alexa CD]

For me it would be shaving and having a smooth body, especially my arms and legs. That and growing my hair out, I want it longer and I've always loved the look and feel of it once it starts getting some length. It's hard to choose between them both which I like more.

[Natasha_Lovegood]

My favorite part is wearing heels and pantyhose! But I also love lipstick :3
