Can't think of any except wearing a bra but I can live with it.
Things are only a problem if you let them be one.
I hate seeing a beautiful pair of heels and find out that there is not my size ;)
To be more serious, the only thing I hate about crossdressing is the secrets and the lies to my girlfriend.
I dislike feeling the urge and do not have the opportunity to dress.
Anything else: hair in mouth, time to prepare,.. is for me a part of the "game".
Too many to narrow it down to one, but I agree with everyone that's posted so far. One thing that bothers me is not having a girlish figure to go with the clothes I wear. Lack of womanly curves!
Taking off the nail polish! I first use tissue paper with the nail polish remover to remove most of the polish and then poor the nail polish remover over a red with black brush brisseled nail brush I buy at Auto Zone (which are the best nail brushes ever) and use the brush to remove the polish from the sides of the finger nails. I'm really quick with it now but it took a while to find the right combination to remove all of the polish where absolutely nothing is left...Scarlett....Good question by the way.....
For me it's the hiding.
Everyone in my family has flexible work schedules and randomly show up at my house
So when I do get a chance to dress I have to peek out the window every time I hear a car.
It takes half the enjoyment out of dressing.
Not being able to dress when I want for how long I want. My wife doesn't want to see me dressed and my kids don't know, so it's a case of trying to fit it in when I can.
If I had someone to show me makeup, maybe that would be my worst thing. (I've never done any makeup. Don't know how and no one to show me how.)
I don't mind shaving my legs, I just hate the period in the couple days after when I start getting stubble :( Aside from that, it might have to be that when it's really hot out it's hard to crossdress since there's the wig and makeup can make feel warmer
I agree with most of above:
- trying to text with nails
- trying not to eat my hair too often
- the pain that starts radiating from my ear lobes after about 3 hours of wearing clip on earrings
- when hairs get caught in fresh eyeliner
- spilling food on my boobs much more noticeable than if it had dropped onto my lap
I use cotton balls. Just soakd a cotton ball in remover and hold it on your nail for a few seconds. Wipe and most comes off.
You can learn a lot from makeup tutorials on youtube. That's where I learned about using cotton balls to remove nail polish.
Oh yeah, some clip ons are worse than others. The spring loaded hoops don't cause any pain from my experience.
I love Becky's response.
I share all that but the earrings, had my ears pierced in 1975 to get away from that.
Those are not just CD problems.
My one thing is the time it takes to transform. So many times I want to have some Fem time but it is just too exhausting to think of the time it will take to transform so I just give up.
I wouldn't say hate, but there a few things that i dislike. Nails, they always seem to break off, sometimes without you even noticing it right away, plus it makes typing or texting somewhat awkward. The stray hair in the face and/or mouth is always a thing that i tend to dislike. Plus, i don't really know how to style the wig or hair, so i am limited in what i can do. Frequency in which i can dress is what it is, and going back to drab sometimes is a bummer as well. Would i give up crossdressing because of that. No. Just learn to deal with it
Changing back. :-)
I guess the one thing that I hate is the full online shopping carts, and
not enough funds to complete the purchases.
The worst? Realizing you have dressed for so l-o-n-g that you now have separate sections in the girl wardrobe closet: one for your fat clothes, and one for your skinny clothes.
The worst is not being able to as often. Due to my work schedule I have very little time to dress. I always want to do more then wearing under my clothes.
Susan, first, buy and try some inexpensive, drug store makeup, perhaps a non-staining lipstick, blush, mascara and some makeup remover. Refer to the many on-line makeup tutorials AND what's available on this forum. Then its a lot of practice until you feel its starting to look reasonably good; then, its time to buy more, different makeup, and more practice. Most of the ladies here probably started this way. Its OK to buy it in drab. That's the only way I've ever bought makeup. Use a store (WallMart?) that has a self check out, if you need to. The practice is fun. Also, get a 10 power magnifying mirror to use to be sure all makeup is gone. Have fun and Good luck!
for me it's getting a new dress and not being able to get dressed up for a few days when the coast is clear.
Amy beat me to it!
My bewbs don't have a self-adhesive and being closeted I don't glue them on either. So even I short amount of time, let's say 10 or so minutes in this humid Gulf Coast climate can have sweat build up underneath silicone forms.
So I hate it when he girls slip n slide under a bra and I get lopsided. :D
The back zipper! While I absolutely love the tightness of dresses, blouses, leotards with a back zipper, that zipper gets me. Putting them on, I use the hanger method but it is important to bring the hanger with me. Since I was traveling at night, I dressed for the drive. I figured that I would change before arriving at the hotel in the early morning. That's when I realized that I brought nothing to help me remove the dress that I was wearing. It took me forever to get that back zipper down.
Most annoying thing is that I have to dress at all and not just be that way ........you know.................................Debra
Having it be crossdressing, why can't it be just normal, we pick and choose what to wear when want and it's standard heho.
On the subject of nails and this may not be general but happened to me, I put false nails on top of day old nail polish and they never came off, didn't think about it at the time but when I did come to take them off they were a real bugger to remove, they brought half the polish off with them, still, made the polish removing half the effort :)
