do you feel like you need to hide your stuff

[sara66]

Not to hijack Lisa's thread. I was in the closet for more than 40 years. My wife knows I dress and said I can hang my dresses in my closet, but I still feel the need hide my stash. Although it is not really hidden, but more out of sight. Does anyone else feel the same way.
Sara

[Lana Mae]

Well,I don't have panties on the shower rod! Sorry, reference The Goodbye Girl! Everything is put away but not hidden. I do not actually have a stash, just a second wardrobe! Hugs Lana Mae

[Dana44]

No, my SO nows exactly what I have and asks me where a skirt is sometimes as if have not worn it for a while. .

[Victoria92116]

Not at all, my kids are to little to think about different sizes, plus with my misses around no one would be the wiser should they snoop through our closet, in the very unlikely event that even happened

[Alice_2014_B]

Negative.
At least I do not hide any stuff from my wife.
:)

[Alice Torn]

Yes, I keep my stuff hidden, in case the landlord comes in, or i get hurt, or killed. One time the landlord came over, and we were sitting talking, with my computer having a large blown up picture of me in lingerie so he could not miss it, as it was straight across from him. When i finally noticed, i turmnd it off, but, too late! So, i keep my lady things hidden from view.

[Periwinkle]

Not really. If you go in my room, my dresses can be easily spotted in my closet. But I'm not going to point them out or show them off to anyone aside from my SO, or my close friends.

[docrobbysherry]

That's NOT possible anymore. Sherry's materialism seems endless!:doh:

[baldy1]

I keep my stuff in our wardrobes and somethings like big shoes may get hidden when grandchild is staying in our house but we are not home e.g. on holiday and she minds the house and animals

[AlyssaJ]

My wife knows but my kids don't. So I don't have to hide my stuff from my wife but I do need to keep it where my kids won't find it.

[GBJoker]

I hide everything from every one. No one to trust around here.

[Jane G]

No my dresses and blouses hang next to my shirts and trousers in the wardrobe.

[luvbridget]

Yes, I do. My wife knows I crossdress, and I have even given some of my best dresses to her (we wear the same size, how lucky). But I'm not ready to show her everything I have. She's only seen some of my lingerie and only a couple of pairs of my heels. I brought out my makeup stash and now we both enjoy it but our daughter likes to play with it so some of my best makeup-related things are now missing or used up. Sometimes I think maybe I should have kept my makeup stash to myself :)

[NitaCD]

My wife is the only one who knows that I dress and I do not hide anything from her, but other family members yes. We share two large closets which would make it hard for anyone to know whose cloths belong to who. That is unless they were snooping at the size difference. Our children are all grown and gone so its not really an issue for me anymore.

[Tracii G]

I'm not ashamed of who I am so I hide nothing.

[Krisi]

I don't hide my clothes, wigs, boobs or butt from my wife. Things aren't out on display but they are not hidden. They are in drawers and closets just like my male clothes or my wife's clothes.

[Teresa]

Sara,
My dressing items are kept in my redundant darkroom , my wife knows this but I haven't organised hanging space so everything is stored in boxes and bags . When I've decided what I'm going to wear for my next social outing I wash and iron ithem and hang them in a wardrobe in the spare bedroom that was my daughters. I also keep my jackets hanging in there to prevent them creasing, I know my wife has looked in there , she hasn't said anything but sometimes she's a little off hand with me when I know she's been in that bedroom. I like my choice of clothes and don't feel ashamed of them, although she hasn't seen me I'm hoping one day she will tell me she thinks I dress well and have good taste.

[bridget thronton]

I do not hide any of my clothes (I do not wear my wig or forms so they are buried)

[NancySue]

Nope. Like Dana, she knows my wardrobe and will occasionally ask me to wear something she likes, like my new LBD. I love all forms of hose...gartered stockings, pantyhose and thigh highs. I never hesitate to show her. She chuckles as she hates all hose and underwires.

[Jenniferathome]

...but I still feel the need hide my stash. ...

If you are still referring to your clothes and accessories as "stash" then you still have issues sharing this part of you. My clothes, both male and female hang in my closet or sit folded n my dresser drawers, next to my wife's things.

[dolovewell]

I live alone. My male clothes are on one side of the closet, my female clothes on the other. I also keep my makeup and brushes in one drawer in my bathroom. If I have company over, it all goes into a trunk I have under my bed secured by a lock.

[CONSUELO]

No. It hangs up in my closet and I keep my underwear in a drawer. I don't feel the need to hide things though I do have a large collection of underwear that I keep in a chest in a guest bedroom. That is kept locked when guests come. They have plenty of space available in the closet.

I have never had to hide my feminine clothing and so glad for that.

[abby054]

Absolutely, if I want peace. I have a storage unit about three miles from my house.

[SHINY-J]

Even though I lived alone, I would still go to great lengths to keep things hidden when I was younger... I feared someone breaking in.... My landlord coming in for an inspection while I was out... Something like a pipe burst while I wasn't there and they had to make an emergency entrance into my apartment... Or just friends or girlfriends dropping by for a visit and me having gurly clothes out in clear view... mymfirst apartment was a tiny studio apt so space was hard to find.. I was just beginning to build my wardrobe though, and so I could easily stash the few items I did have under and behind stacks of sweaters in top shelf of the closet... I eventually upgraded to a larger place and it had a storage locker in the communal Landry room. My collection had grown and I had everything placed in two huge duffle bags that I would keep in there locked up with a a padlock... But it got old REALLY fast as I was going back and forth to the storage locker almost every day to retrieve the two huge duffle bags and lug them back and forth from my apartment- sometimes 2-3 times a day! Plus, it didn't didn't the clothes or footwear any favors as I was trying to cram everything I had into 2 duffle bags and then crams and stuff thise overflowing bags into a small storage locker - the clothes were always wrinkled and some of the shoes began to get scuffs and scrapes... I eventually began keeping my entire gurly wardrobe in a collection of large duffle bags, suitcases, and big shipping boxes in the back corner of the closet with tons of boxes in front of them... Out of sight.

When I moved in with my girlfriend, ...Sadly, I purged my entire gurly wardrobe... One of my biggest regrets as it was probably easily over 5 grand in boots, heels, panties, stockings, bras, corsets, garter belts, stockings, cat suits, etc... Plus it was all stuff from the late 90s to early 2000s when shiny clothing like satin, leather, vinyl, etc was in style! It's virtually impossible to find things like that anymore! But I was petrified she would find it and I tossed it all in a dumpster--- makes me sick to this day just typing it. UGH!

After a few years, that didn't pan out and I moved back out on my own and began to rebuild my wardrobe as best as I could. Now, I've built my wardrobe up even bigger than before (although I still wish I had my gurly clothes back from that purge) and I keep most of it in large shipping boxes, but it's in a separate bedroom closet. That bedroom doubles as a personal home gym as well as my gurly closet/gurly photography studio. I also now hang up many items of clothing that I don't want to get wrinkled or show signs of wear in the corner of that same closet behind big winter jackets and coats. I keep most of my heels in their original boxes to keep them looking new and avoid scrapes and scuffs and keep those in larger shipping boxes with the labels facing up so I can tell which ones are which, and I keep all of my thigh high, crotch high, and knee high boots sitting upright in the corner of the closet to try to avoid any premature wrinkles or creases that would normally occur if I folded them up and packed them back into their original boxes. There isn't really a way to hide them away sorting them on the closet floor, but it's more important to me to have them looking as nice and new as possible for as long as possible. The only thing I do to hide them is drape some large black satin sheets over them that I use as a backdrop sometimes when I'm taking my pics... It's easy to simply yank it away and see them there, but I'm not too worried about it anymore. My wardrobe has gotten too big to go to those same great lengths to hide. It's out of immediate sight anyways and I'm not in a serious relationship with a woman where she has the key to my place or is going to be alone there while I'm not there...

[Amelie]

I hide all my undergarments. I have this guy who comes over to fix my pipes and I think he has been wearing my tights, so I hide them from him. I think he is a cd.

[Crissy Kay]

Yeah, I still keep my fem stuff out of sight in my room. Even though no one goes into my room, I am more comfortable knowing all my stuff is put away in case anything happens.

[redtea]

When i started CDing 5 years ago, I was very very afraid of ever being caught. I hid my panties in a locked box and was even afraid of wearing them in public underdressing.

3 years ago my panty collection overwhelmed my secret box so i just said "f-it" and put them in a shoebox in a pretty open spot. My situation has people who are very respectful of my privacy so I don't worry too much

Now I hang panties to dry in my closet, i used to hide them inside a shirt but now i just hide them off to the side but still in plain sight. I got TWO shoeboxes now at the end of my bed on the floor full of panties/bras/pajamas/leggings. I consider it a secret stash but i don't go threw huge lengths to hide it....Waste of time. I also neatly stacked my jeans/shirts/shorts in a pile and just cover it with a shirt. I'm at the point where I actually don't mind if I'm discovered, but I'm still a bit afraid of coming out with my obsession that spiraled out of control. I have done many really scary things in public from shopping to wearing certain items. (really scary for me)

I also know that if I'm discovered there is a 99% chance of it going well for me, and the 1% chance isn't a complete train wreck, it's more of a "you need help". But I'm sure it would be something along the lines of a "oh....ok....well....uh....what do you want for Christmas =)"

CDers "borrowing" other CDer things....what a time to live.

[Kiersten]

My wife has always been aware of my cross dressing and there was a time I used to feel like I needed to hide everything especially if I ordered anything online, I'm not really sure why I felt that way because she was very accepting when I told her in the beginning.
Now it's become a DADT in our house, I no longer feel that I need to hide anything from her.
I do miss the shopping trips we use to take.

[Rhian]

I recently moved back into my parents house and consequently had to bin everything that I couldn't hide. It's frustrating but soon Rhian will have wardrobe.

[TrishaTX]

Yes I get it. I still tuck things in corners etc....I wish I didn't

[sara66]

I have been thinking more about it. Jen I use "stash" as a generic term. I think i hide stuff more so my wife does see how much I have spent. partly out of habit.
Sara

[lynnstar]

Yes i do. I have to hide my fem clothes cause my wife dosent like me crossdressing. She feels that crossdressing is "gross". She knows i have crossdressed in the past and has for the past 15yrs. At first she tried to accept it, a little at first but alas! It wasnt to be. I tried quitting for her sake, several times infact, even purged several times. But always to return months later. She has caught me a couple of times in the last 2 years wearing either thigh hi's or panties and its always the same, she gets really up set. For her sake i would quit dressing if i could but i cant. I enjoy dressing. The feel, the look, the comfort, even the stress relief it gives me. So! I now only underdress and only at work where i keep my fem things in my locker under lock and key. No one at work knows or suspects or at least made any comment if they do? At work my uunderdressing begins and after work its back to drab before i get home.. when i underdress i wear a full slip and cammi top and panties.

[Teri Ray]

I used to but since opening up to my wife no longer. My wife and I discussed the fact that I no longer need to hide my things. Lots better than keeping my stuff in the barn.

[PeggyNell]

I live alone, so no
I have joint custody of my daughter, so yes.
I have an extra room that I have my stuff. It is also the junk room, that's a good cover. I do keep my femme close at the back of the closet and drawers. In case some one does take a quick look. I as have time to pick up if I something laying out.

One day I had a "toy laying out to dry. I had a painter painting the house. They asked if the could come in to use the bathroom. I just got home from work. It was a woman. My mind was racing if I did have something laying about. I opened the door and we went in. I walked by the toy, snagged it up and kept walking to the bathroom, she was following me. I know she saw me get it, but woman would not recognize this toy. But I like to know what she was thinking, because she was in a single man's house after all.

[ChristinaK]

Used to hide, but not anymore. Panties are in my wife's drawer in case my daughter looks, but I'm sure she wonders why Daddy never has underwear in the laundry.

Things that need to be hung up I have next to my clothes in our closet. My nightgowns and ladies silky pj's are at the other end. Things I can fold are in drawers in my dresser. My makeup, forms, jewelry, wig and bras are in a tote bag on a shelf in my closet.

My wife calls me a pervert and disgusting, and totally disapproves, so I told her that if she doesn't like, don't look. Don't know if she has or not. At least she stopped throwing away my clothes. I replaced them and so she just gave up. She was worried my daughter would find my clothes before, so I hung them in the closet. Let her see. She'll figure it out anyway.

[Taylor186]

My wife knows and is fairly tolerant but I still like to keep most things out of sight--behind closet doors or in drawers. But not hidden and not locked away.

[Traci H]

My wife knows to some degree and just is not fond of it. My underwear drawer is virtually all panties in every color and style under the sun. I have womans jeans and "khakis" hanging in my closet that I wear to work and after. She gave me a little flack about those, but then it went to DADT again. My dresses, wigs, shoes and hidden up in my garage where I placed them the last time I "purged" Would love to bring those to my closet, but I suspect that would be too much for my wife.

[Gerrijerry]

You reminded me of when my wife and I moved into our new house. We both have separate walk in closets, and mine at that time was about half full of woman clothes. Several of the women wanted to see the house. So my wife took them around to all the rooms. When they arrived at my closet, they asked my wife if she got to use both closets. She told them of course not. So your husband wears those dresses one women asked laughing. Yes, she told them. Everything in that closet is hers. (I was starting transition to female in a few days so it really didn't matter to me.) Every one of them came out and looked at me. Said nothing until after dinner. Then one asked, Are you a cross dresser she asked me. No I told her, I was a woman and transitioned to a male. The shock on the woman face was so worth the reverse comment.

[Robin414]

Nah, I'm out, I've even left my purse in plain sight many times!

[Ceera]

During the last year or two that my wife was alive, when I first started cross dressing, I limited my active exploration of my feminine aspect to underdressing with panties, and my wife and teenaged daughter both knew I did the panties, bur nothing else, and no one else knew at all. Beyond that, my 'secret stash' consisted of a wig, a padded bra, a corset, and a single outfit of a blouse, skirt, shoes and stockings, which I only wore in private, and kept in a gym bag. I hadn't even shaved off my beard or attempted makeup yet. I held back rather than risking harm to my marriage.

Once my wife died, I came out fully to my teenaged daughter, and started down the path of full public transformation, but I still hid that side of me from anyone else who knew me as a male. A few of my girl side's new friends knew my male name, and one met my male aspect, but I tried to keep my two 'lives' separate. No one visiting my home would find anything.

When I moved to the town I am in now, I decided not to hide at all from my new friends and neighbors. The only 'hiding' i did was to conceal most of my girly stuff from my sister, who lives several huurs drive from me, when she made a surprise visit to help me unpack. 9 months later, I have yet to come out to my sister and other relatives or old friends who live in othervtowns, but at home, I am essentially fully out.

I expect that within the next 6 to 12 months, I will be out to everyone, and won't hide anything at all any more. I am even contemplating finding a new job which would accept me working as a female.

[shellybme]

I do hide my clothing. My wife knows I dress and tolerates it but I think it is better if I keep DADT. Also, we share a walk in closet so it would be very noticeable if dresses started to pop up on my side.

[~Joanne~]

Even before I cam out about the CDing to my SO, my things were never hidden, they were just at the back of the closet and she never bothered to look. I admit that since telling here they have been moved to the front of the closet but even just as late as yesterday I was thinking of moving them back just in case the door is open and someone is over or whatnot. While she knows , no one else does and I'd like to keep it that way.

[Katie Lynn cd]

My wife knows where I keep my clothes. It is set in a place that she would not have to see it, plus with older children the size difference would be hard to explain. Maybe some day I can keep in our closet/room but not at this time.

[susancheerleader]

I live alone.
Well, I do have a cat. :)
So basically I really don't hide anything. Sometimes my room looks like a teenage girls bedroom. Clothes everywhere! :)
That said. If I know or expect anyone over. I do make sure the clothes are out of sight.
