Wearing my wife's panties

[Elizabeth G]

Sort of...

This is another sign of my wife's incrementally increasing acceptance of my crossdressing.

So my wife and I are in the middle of a remodel / addition to our house and at the moment as a result we are temporarily without our washer and dryer which means periodic trips to the laundromat.

My wife was going through her underwear drawer recently and had separated out some she hasn't worn in a while because she's not crazy about the fit. She knows I wear panties everyday and being painfully aware of our laundry situation, rather than throw them out she offered them to me which from a practical standpoint means less frequent laundromat trips. From an acceptance standpoint however it means much more to me.

Considering that we are slowly working our way through the crossdressinging issue I though this was extremely nice of her.

So yes, I'm wearing my wife's panties today except now they're mine!

That's great! I'm wondering if she may have found psychological space for them being passed on to you since they don't fit her,so then you are not competing for space in terms of who wears the panties in the house.

My wife who normally has all sorts of other reasons why she doesn't like my look or even want to consider allowing me to crossdress with her blurted out one day when i showed her myself in a nightgown and said 'this is so perfect for me I had to show it to you'-that only one person gets to wear a nightgown in the house and it is her!

Wife giving you her unneeded panties is probably a sign of acceptance, but, it's a long way from being totally en femme in front of a woman. I think many women who have husbands who only wear panties and no other female garments can pass it off as a 'fetish.' Wearing pantyhose for warmth when ice fishing in Minnesota falls under acceptance because it does not strike as anything emulating a woman.

Hi Stephanie,

I think you made several assumptions here. I said this was another incremental step in my wife's acceptance. I never claimed it was akin to full acceptance. I'm not a fetish dresser and she knows that. She has seen me in dresses and in skirt & top combinations but not with a wig and makeup. That was another incremental step. The point I was trying to make is that though there is a long road ahead there is progress albeit in small steps sometimes and this was another sign.

Elizabeth, I’m also wearing a pair of Maidenform nylon panties that my wife gave to me as she did not want them anymore. She gave me around 20 pairs of all sorts of styles and colors/prints. Yes it absolutely shows acceptance and take any small step you can and be happy.

That is a very positive thing so be thankful for small presents from your lady.

[Stephanie47]

Elizabeth, all I was stating is acceptance of wearing panties is not the same as being full en femme. And, I did not say this was not an incremental step working towards full acceptance. You read too much 'personal you' when much of my comments were a 'universal you.' Never said you were a fetish dresser or your wife perceives you as a fetish dresser. A wife whose husband only wears women's panties or pantyhose may be perceived as a fetish dresser. One of the issues that does arise, and, may not be applicable to you and your wife, is many women, including GG's on this site, view incremental displays of cross dressing as chiseling down their barriers to none acceptance. Sort of give an inch, take a mile. I've read it many times as relayed even by the cross dresser. And, encouraged by one cross dresser to another. The 'go it slow' suggestion which may or may not end up with a wife exploding.

Just take it as a thoughtful gift from your wife and enjoy wearing her panties.

Hi Elizabeth :hugs:, Anything that I get from my:love:Wife is always very special to me >Orchid ..+:daydreaming:+..

[Bruce64]

That's the best panties to wear.

[Michelle 51]

I'm like you Orchid.I have a lot of clothing my wife has passed on to me including bra's and panties that were a bit big for her and they are very special.

[Taylor Dame]

I did the opposite and gave my wife some of my panties. We are in a DADT situation, but my wife allows me to wear panties because I have found they give good support and are more comfortable. I had purchased some that were too small for everyday wear, and gave them to her. We now are both wearing Jockey no panty-line nylon panties. Definitely a slight step in the right direction.

You are right to be happy with your wife's consideration. Efforts at acceptance no matter the size need to be recognized and appreciated. Good for you both. Enjoy and be happy. Bye the way best wishes for a speedy and successful completion of your home improvement project.

[t-girlxsophie]

Phew! Had an oh! no moment when I saw the thread title :heehee: A sign albeit a small one that your wife is trying to come round,I'm glad for you.

I would wear my wife's panties if they only fit! Unfortunately, she is a lot smaller than me.

[Beverley Sims]

Well it sounds like acceptance to me also.

Little steps each day.

[mbmeen12]

Flip side my GG has borrowed my stuff too....I am happy for you she shared intimates with you.

[Kiwi Primrose]

That's a good move in the right direction. One tip - cut the tags in half so you recognise yours in the washing.

[JocelynJames]

Elizabeth,
I love stories of acceptance no matter what the size. Sometimes I take it for granted as my wife has been accepting almost from the beginning. Congrats.... small victories can be bigger than medallions.

[alwayshave]

Elizabeth, that's great. I love stories of acceptance.

[Krea]

Elizabeth, what a great post. It's wonderful that you are making some progress and it's amazing how much these small gestures can make. Hope it continues well for you. :thumbsup:

[Krisi]

When your wife gives (or loans) you panties It means it's OK with her for you to wear panties. That's a good sign. Next, try to get her to give you one of her bras! ;)

[Joanne Curl]

That’s a great signin my opinion. If you’ve been been following my threads you know my wife and I are struggling with my cross dressing. We recently talked about underware (panties). She knows I’d prefer to wear to wear panties and my briefs are as about as close as they can be to panties and she knows it. But they’re from the men’s department.

[Piora]

I don't want to wear someone else's things - especially panties. Even when I was married, I never tried any of my ex's panties. I always bought and wore my own. Same with outerwear. The only thing I bought used, and still have, was a dark blue dress skirt. It was obviously good quality and had hardly been worn.

[Elizabeth G]

Actually I have and buy my own panties. I just thought this was a nice gesture and another small sign of my wife's acceptance.

[Lacey New]

Wow, lucky you! I wear the same brand, style and size as my wife except she does not have any idea that I do.

[Margaret]

My wife and I wear the same brand of panties; sensible full briefs! However she now wears one size larger than me. One measure of a slight acceptance is that she "donated' several pairs of my size from her collection. These included a pair of pink floral panties, which are my favourites.

[Fran in skirts]

Since I am not married and when I was my wifes panties would not have fit me. I buy abd wear my own panties and have over 100 in my panty drawer.

[Leslie Langford]

That's great! I'm wondering if she may have found psychological space for them being passed on to you since they don't fit her,so then you are not competing for space in terms of who wears the panties in the house.

My wife who normally has all sorts of other reasons why she doesn't like my look or even want to consider allowing me to crossdress with her blurted out one day when i showed her myself in a nightgown and said 'this is so perfect for me I had to show it to you'-that only one person gets to wear a nightgown in the house and it is her!

Ummm...I guess your wife is not aware of the fact that men have been wearing nightgowns for eons (albeit typically more "masculine" versions), but they have fallen out of fashion of late. My grandfather - who, when I was a kid - had a hernia and always wore a truss to deal with it - typically also wore nightgowns as a result, and no one thought of it as being a big deal.

Just curious...how is your wife with men wearing bathrobes...or is that "different" in her view?

[Robin777]

I wear my wife's hand me down panties to bed. She lost a bunch of weight and gave me all her too big panties. I wear them to bed as I enjoy the loose briefs at night.

[Stacy Darling]

I went through a period a few years back where I was given the "hand me downs" for use with workwear. I don't wear black though!
Then I came out fully!
Stacy!

[Ameli]

This is a timely post for me. My wife just gave me five pairs of hand me down panties yesterday. They’re all very soft Italian ones. They’re high waisted, which isn’t my favourite, but they’re very comfortable. My wife is very tolerant and accommodating with regards to my crossdressing, but it isn’t her favourite thing about me, so I am appreciative of every gesture.

[NancySue]

My supportive wife and I mutually will sometimes wear each other’s clothes, but, nothing negative, both, unspoken, draw the line at panties, even though we both wear the same brand.

[Rebecca60]

My first time out of curiosity I did put on her panties. And It has gotten me hook that was in 1982.. As time went on I started to get my own collection.

[phili]

If a simple alteration is needed I find that taking out about 2" of the gusset area -removing the narrowest part and matching widths , makes many panties fit much better, and hipsters become more fetching bikinis as well. It is a very easy sewing job!

[Leslie Mary S]

you girls are lucky. The exchange of any fem object is a sign of acceptance, even it is a very small sign. Some of us don't have anyone to give us their rejects. Everything but one wig was bought by me or my GG friend Dark AnGGel. The wig was my wife's before she passed away from cancer.
