View Full Version : Are female clothes comfortable?

I read the thread, Point and Purpose of Dressing 24/7 and there was a question asked that I would like to answer without taking anything away from that thread so here is a brand new one.

Docrobbysherry asked (also my wife asks the same thing):

What I don't understand is, so many people saying they r more comfortable in women's clothes.
What's more comfortable than a loose shirt, jeans, and loafers? And it's so easy to put together. U don't even have to think about it! Just wear whatever is washed!


To answer the question:

There is a lot of comfort in a loose shirt, jeans, and loafers. But there is also a lot of comfort in being who you really are. Not saying that we are really women or all of us is gender dysphoric, but there is comfort in appealing to the inner gender. I agree that wearing a bra and pantyhose that bunches up at the waist, heels that hurt the feet after only five minutes of walking, and stuffing my body into 'shaping' lingerie, and poking my eye with mascara, and wearing a wig that starts itching because of the sweat in makes my head produce is not physically comfortable. It does however make me feel normal. It is spiritually comfortable. Now to be honest as well, I would rather not wear a bra, pantyhose, high heels, shaping lingerie, makeup, or a wig all the time and just relax in a nice satin gown or satin pj's. But there are times when I have to feel normal. And there is nothing more comfortable than being normal. Even if that means I am the only one that knows the answer of what is normal for me. What is normal for me is not normal for everybody. I hope that answers how women's clothing is comfortable. Please feel free to add on to this thread and add to my comments. Everybody is different and it would be a better answer with different viewpoints. Thank you Docrobbysherry for the question and thank you everyone for listening,

I find wearing women clothing feels great. When I am fully dressed and it is time to switch back, I find it disappointing. I wear panties and a bra almost every day and fine it compy. I find that high heels do hurt at first but once they are broke in, they feel great.

Interesting point Amber and I kind of agree with you. Feeling normal and comfortable and being free to be ourselves is what it's all about. I feel free being myself whether I'm Rich or Sal, although even now, I have a much better comfort level being en femme sometimes.Hard to break, you know?:heehee:

Case in point is dancing at the club. Last weekend I went and had fun socializing with my friends and dancing as Rich and I always have just as much fun either way. I have noticed, however, that even with all of the gear on, pantyhose, padded panty, bra with forms, makeup and wig, it's much easier to dance in a dress than pants as I have to keep pulling the dang pants up and the dress gives me more freedom of movement and somewhat of an innate gracefulness that's a little harder to pull off en homme. Not to mention that for some strange reason, even dancing all night with all of that stuff on, I seem to sweat a lot less as Sal. Psychological? Perhaps, but fun nonetheless.:)

I love dressing and have gone almost 4 days dressed nonstop All except foe work wear panties all the time and find it very comfortable. But the time I spend not dressed makes it all that much more enjoyable. And I do love being Angie. :hugs:

Amber, I think you've made a very good point. I call dressing my comfort zone because in my mind, when I'm dressed, no matter if I'm wearing the tightest shaper, or a hot sweaty wig, I feel the comfort of my feminine self. It's a state of euphoria that can only be explained by ones own feelings. I can put the discomfort of some clothes aside for my total feminine experience. Luv and :hugs: Jill

A skirt is FAR more comfortable than loose jeans...:)
I have one I wear just kicking around the house, has plenty of width at the bottom for leg room/walking etc...

I have a lot of womens tank tops, they are snug and comfortable, loose is not comfortable to me especially if i"m lying down and roll over or something..

Plus it's just more comfortING to me to wear womens clothes :)

There's "comfortable" and then there's "comforting", or "comfort zone". As a CD, THOSE r feelings I can relate to! The words are quite similar, but mean different kinds of "comfort"!

As one who has a body shape that is anything but the typical male type. I have a particularly difficult time finding male clothes that even fit as well as female clothes do on me. And yes, female clothes to me are far more comforting than wearing male clothes. They aid me in allowing the true femme self within to emrge and be confident. Something that I strongly lack in my everyday male life.

I like long skirts so a long skirt will feel more comfortable to me then trousers ( pants) but when i do wear trousers out it is female ones lot of the time, so you might ask why , well it is the material, female trousers (pants) seem to be made of a lot softer material than the male ones and i also prefer the style and fit .

Wearing woman’s clothes is very “comforting” and feel truly comfortable. I don’t really have some specific answer , but being all done up just feels right. When I’m not at work I am always in my girl mode. I always do my makeup and almost never wear anything but skirts. I only do my nails on the weekend, it’s the first thing I do when I get home Friday night.

No easy answer to this. For me to look even vaguely the right shape I need to wear a good girdle and a long bra. I can't honestly claim that I'm comfortable in those. However, I know that's what many women wore to look good and I am very happy to accept the same degree of discomfort that "real" women accept in order to look better.

Yesterday, before I had seen this thread, I had a couple of dressing hours available and had already decided to go for the "young miss" style, circa 1975. I wore a pretty, soft bra, top, panties, tights (about 20 denier), light knee length skirt and chunky heels. I rarely go without the firm underwear but this time I wanted to experience what the typical young woman of that period felt. It was good: very comfortable. Without my girdle I could feel the gentle hold of my tights on my legs and around my hips and I could feel the band and straps of my bra but I would not describe these as uncomfortable. My shoes are also comfortable - no pinching - though I don't know if they would be after longer wearing. All in all, the clothes felt wonderfully light compared with my male things. The skirt was so light that I really couldn't feel I was wearing it and my legs were completely free as I walked. Usually I am pushing against a strong girdle, but not yesterday. Everything stayed perfectly in place, nothing came apart and no need for any adjustments. Of course, I didn't like my profile very much and, had I really been that 1970s girl I would probably have enjoyed the comfort around the house but put a pantie girdle on before going out!

I think the mental comfort I get when I am able to fully dress far outweighs and physical discomfort and once one has clothing that properly fits there is no discomfort, including heels and wigs. Two days ago I bought my first pair of woman's jeans and besides the great look I have to admit that they are more comfortable than my normal jeans. And it's not in my head.

Pamela Julie
04-03-2008, 06:24 PM
There is physical comfort and there is mental comfort. Womans clothing gives me mental comfort even if the fit is not perfect, but is close. Panties give me both types of comfort, I find mens briefs and boxers uncomfortable, and juniors low rise jeans fit better than any male jeans except for the baggy styles that I don't like but wear often when in drab. I don't always get physical comfort and seldom mental comfort with mens clothing.

No they are not,they feel akward and cumbersome to say the least. It's not like I was wearing a lot of tight clothing, but just clothes that women wear everyday to work or the grocery store. No thanks, I'll stick to what IS comfortable.

Though I wear male clothes every day, to work, I wear panties underneath. I find male jeans much more comfortable with panties under them. When ever I dress femme, I feel much more at ease with myself. I wear nighties every night and change into femme clothes virtually every evening and on weekends, so I spend more time en femme than in male clothes. When I have to go back to my male clothes it not only feels less comfortable but somehow foreign to me. Male clothes for me are a necessary evil, dressing en femme is a pleasure. Yes, there are times when going out that I have to put on foundation garments that aren't the most comfortable, but the look achieved far outweighs the cost. Most of the time, though, I wear simple undergarments (panties, a bra, possibly stockings). As I spend more and more time dressed, I find myself gravitating to simple outfits that look good but are casual. I am trying to reach a zone where I dress as a woman would, not as a cross dresser would. Doesn't mean I am about to go out and get a bunch of ratty sweat suits or anything, but woman spend most of their time dressed comfortably. They still look feminine and so can we, doing the same thing if we take a bit of care. Yes, we have attributes that make it more difficult to look feminine, but that does not mean we can't pull a feminine look off while wearing casual and comfortable clothes.

Well in my opinion the "more comfortable" part is not a physical comfort thing - its mental. I feel more comfortable in my head. Pretty sure no one is gonna try and claim that high heels are more comfortable than flats. LOL

Comfort is a relative thing. I can say that snug pettipants are quite nice on both very warm and cold days. Panties feel better than boxers as there is less to them, hence less bulk. Some items are just plain softer. Other times a fairly snug control panty feels nice, silky camisole nothing to compare. Other times just wearing the feminine items creates a different kind of comfort. I guess for me the answer is simply yes, I find feminine clothing more comfortable for many reasons.

I found a really neat cotton top at Target. I'm into skirts so I find the more tops I have, the more options I have and it's fun trying new stuff on. When I got home and finally put it on it had a really smooth and almost silky feel about it. It had to be far more comfortable that the male tee-shirt I had on earlier in that day.

Is it related to the weave count in the fabric or are tee-shirts naturally more coarse?

Hi CDinDayton -

I'm not sure why attractive female clothes can't be loose fitting. I've seen many GG's wearing very attractive and they tell me comfortable swets, jogging outfits, etc.

A skirt and pantyhose is far more comfortable when sitting for a long time than pants are.

Lorna
04-04-2008, 08:20 AM
Today I was working in the garden in male clothes and my trousers and shirt were constantly coming adrift at the back - and uncomfortable as a result. Why? Because when I bend down in trousers the legs stay put but the material over my behind gets pulled down - the more I bend, the worse it is. When I stand up again, friction stops my shirt from sliding back down inside my trousers. Instead it all bunches up around my waist.
Yesterday, when I wore a skirt, top, tights, etc. it all stayed perfectly in place: the top remained neatly tucked inside the skirt no matter how much I bent or moved. Why? Because when I bend down in a skirt, the hem rises up to accommodate my bending behind but the waist stays in place. Simple - but I have only just worked out why the female clothes are so much more comfortable in this respect. I suppose I must be simple!

Are my female clothing comfortable?? mine are, and I pick and choose what I think is more comfortable.. and at what level I dress up.. the truth is if a pair of shoes hurt my feet I don't wear them, and won't wear them and they get the old toss after a while of no wearing (you know the rule).. to each his (her) own.. I have tried to look "sexy" with everything that implies but to me comfort is what has taken over in my crossdressing world, and if that means a shoe that doesn't hurt my feet then that is what I go for.. I'm not vain.. I wear a size 9 1/2 shoe (payless) and I'm not going to buy a pair of eights just because "my feet look huge" in my size shoe.. most women wear a full size smaller than the shoe size they are.. and for what reason?? if they wear the size they are then what, they have a big (ego)...

Excellent post Amber. My wife has put the same question to me on comfort. Yes for me some femme clothes are more comfortable, but some male clothes are more comfortable. And something that is comfortable at one time or in one situation may not be a different time.

As Docrobbysherry said there's "comfortable" and then there's "comforting", or "comfort zone".

An example I have been using is wearing a bra. Through out the day it can be comfortable at times and other times it may not be. Some times it is comforting feeling it on some times it gets in the way. But most days like GG's at the end of the day it gets tiring wearing it and some start to itch or dig in. It needs to come off. But for me having it on feels so right that I do not want to take it off. So there is a big part that is comforting or my comfort zone with a bra or other femme items on even when not in full femme.

for me its the physical feeling of the clothes,,,i woould rather wear a skirt than pants or shorts,,makes it easyer to cross the legs,,
as for heels,,,well when your back hurts 24/7 from spending 30 plus years abusing it,,walking around in heels actualy helps the back to stop hurting :D :2c:

I have a couple pairs of strappy sandals with three inch Spanish heels that I swear are the most comfortable shoes I own. Some mornings I put them on just to go make coffee. I also have a couple of summer skirts that are so light they feel like no more than a breeze on my legs. Of course, I also have patent leather (Pleather?) pumps that I can't bear to have on my feet more than a couple of hours. So I guess I'm saying yes and no, but properly sized and selected, a girl's wardobe can have much that is both pretty and comfortable.

I think much of it has to do with psychological comfort vs. physical comfort. When I'm in "girl mode," all girl clothes just feel better to me -- I feel "congruent." And I have to say that I have a couple of skirts that are the most comfortable items of clothing I own -- male or female. I also own a pair of high heel ankle high boots that are VERY comfy. Generally, however, male clothing is probably usually slightly more physically comfortable (though not always -- ties stink, for example)

OMG, are you kidding. Of coarse it's comfortable, but more important, it makes ME more comfortable. The moment I begin dressing I begin to feel more comfortable. and relaxed. As for the physical comfort aspect, yes. When I am wearing my sexy unmentionables and a soft skirt and blouse it feels extremely comfortable.

Nice question...on a hot summer day, nothing is more comfy than a bra, panties and a sundress. As a general rule, men's clothing is much more comfy than a skirt or dress, hose and heels, which is why so many GG's are dressing more like guys these days...on a crisp day, I just love the feeling of wearing a wool skirt and sweater, pantyhose and ballet flats, but that's me.

Lara Smith
04-05-2008, 12:27 AM
From a purely practical standpoint, a pair of nylon panties under jeans is far more comfortable than men's underwear or nothing at all for that matter. They keep the jeans from pinching and lack the bulk. The inner comfort is wonderful. Even in your guy clothes you still have that wonderful girly feeling underneath, and you can feel your jeans moving over the slippery material when you walk and move...reminding you of just how much you love that feminine "feeling."

Beth-Lock
04-05-2008, 09:31 AM
I think jeans are only comfortable in two ways:
1) Compared to some other very tight women's clothes.
2) They also mean you don't have to sit like a lady, and not for example, slouch into a legs up position on the couch which could show too much if you are wearing a skirt.

04-05-2008, 02:06 PM
I was just thinking about that today while out wearing of course my fem jeans. Being comfortable is important ether being emfem or in drab, as I can see every one is comfortable being themselves dressed in various stages, being one piece of fem clothing, or all the way.
Of course I enjoy wearing some of my skirts when I can, work does not stop me from wearing pantyhose or fem underwear, I do it and I stop caring what others might think.

The fabrics of womens clothes are also much nicer than mens clothes. What girl here can say that they don't love the feel of satin or silk?
For example, I can't sleep if I am not wearing a gorgeous silk nightie.

Yes the fabric is also thinner in some cases, and I like that.

The design is better, even from womens tank tops to mens tank tops.

I wear womens levi 501's as they are wider for my hips.
Today i have on mens and they are TIGHT on my hips but loose in the waist...(Kinda neat looking though but pretty obvious on my hips)....

I also like Pink, it's my fav orite color.......not too many mens clothes COME in pink......nor can I wear them in guy mode.

Male or female, I only wear clothes that feel comfortable. I have had a few bras that were kind of tight, but I just threw them away and bought new ones.

I feel more natural in female clothes, but I feel comfortable in all the clothes I wear.

gwendy
04-06-2008, 01:50 PM
I am quite a big girl so find femme clothes physically a lot more comfortable but the comfort of mind is far more important.
However tiresome or demanding my day at work has been, just throwing off my male clothes feels good, a quick shave and shower with nicely perfumed soap and the world outside is fast receding. Slipping on soft and silky bra and pants is such a comfort and even the weight of my breast forms feels good. A pretty skirt and top, comfy 2” heels and my wig and I start to feel really me,
I am all smiles as I put on my makeup - yes very comfortable and very comforting.

I've been wearing women's clothes on and off for many year, much of the time in the closet. I'm not really sure why I like them, whether it's a femme side of me that I've heard as a reason mentioned by many here ever since I became a member. Strangely, at least to me, I guess I've never really thought about why I like wearing women's clothes, lingerie in particular.
Anyway, I do like the wearing!:D

Sarah Doepner
04-06-2008, 10:29 PM
Women's clothes are the most comfortable and comforting things in the world when I need my "Sarah time". Sometimes when I have to return to drab, it is as disconcerting as anything I ever do. However, there are times when I have been dressed in my normal office gear all day and find that it's nearly bedtime and I haven't even taken my tie off.
Comfort, like so many other things are situation dependent. I've gone 4 or more days as Sarah and have found it to be great (except my face gets pretty raw from keeping it smooth), and I've gone weeks without a stitich of women's clothes and been comfortable that way as well. It's like that definition of gender, it's between the ears, not between the legs. Comfort in this case is between the ears and in the heart as much as on the skin.

For the most part dresses are way more comfortable than anything else, as I get older I dont like pants anymore, they wont stay up, the fabric pinches my privates unless I am wearing pantyhose, I am always adjusting my crotch area. I wear a bodyshaper and pantyhose every day under my male clothes, now for the state of mind part of it, I am more at ease in a dress or skirt than pants, I feel like I belong in them I feel more confident in womens clothes, and I feel free when I am dressed enfemme. now the unconfortable part. some of the high heel shoes are uncomfortable, I wont wear them if they are uncomfortable. now the benefits of wearing a bodyshaper and Leggs shear energy pantyhose, the bodyshaper helps my back tremendously, and the sheer energy pantyhose stops my legs from aching, and a 2 to 3 inch heels help my back also. and like Vikki said in her post, I too look better as a woman than a man. and I love womens fashons also.

I agree= I feel normal when I wear my feminine attires, I prefer stockings and semi-high heels,(3/4 inches) I love to hear the click-clack of my heels on the sidewalks.
I also love to wear a corset, to be well maintained and suspenders to fix my stockings.
I love to feel the wind on my legs when in skirts or gown.
Also, I love my nails to be paints-(pearly-pink f.e)
(I wear semi-shortly cut acrylic nails
To be true, I am not exposed to be raped, and the G-Girls found a form of security when in jeans and baskets

To resume= I feel Iam a real Woman when walking fully dressed EN FEMME and
it mentally comfort myself when someone tells= Madam (I not young enough to hear "MISS")

It does however make me feel normal. It is spiritually comfortable. Now to be honest as well, I would rather not wear a bra, pantyhose, high heels, shaping lingerie, makeup, or a wig all the time and just relax in a nice satin gown or satin pj's. But there are times when I have to feel normal. And there is nothing more comfortable than being normal. Even if that means I am the only one that knows the answer of what is normal for me. What is normal for me is not normal for everybody. I hope that answers how women's clothing is comfortable. Please feel free to add on to this thread and add to my comments. Everybody is different and it would be a better answer with different viewpoints. Thank you Docrobbysherry for the question and thank you everyone for listening,

I feel so much more comfortable when dressed en femme and I don't know if there is a specific reason for it. I do love the softnes of most of the materials and there's a greater range of colours which appeal to me, like soft pastel shades.
When I'm dressed I simply feel more relaxed and, therefore, more comfortable.

Not the best answer but, as I said, I think it's about how you feel.

My womens clotehs are alot more comfortable to me than my mens clothes. Scratchy work clothes over a nice silk dress. The math is pretty simple to me. Not to mention the pantyhose helps my sore legs and the bodybriefers hold in me gut and support my man boobs. :eek:

I think womens clothes are FAR more comfortable then mens.
They are softer, and not as "heavy."

Men are expected to be rough and tough. So thier clothes are made to be also.

Not for me though.

I have been dressing for about the last 3+ yrs and at present, wear male or femme clothing on about a 50/50 basis. Each type of clothing has its own comfort level to me and I generally will only wear clothes that fit and feel comfortable, whether drab or femme. Still, honestly, I truly enjoy wearing women's clothing much more than male duds. The feel, the look, the variety, the fun of putting them on is always fun and sensual for me. The sheer pleasure of trying on different outfits from my wardrobe is beyond real description.
I certainly don't experiment with different "looks" with my drab clothing, I just put it on and go about my business. No rush, no soft or silky feelings with male stuff.
I am completely dressed at this moment, including makeup and jewelry and it is wonderfully comfortable and feels totally right for this moment.
