Did nylons pave your path to crossdressing?

[Ria]

Like you- most likely, I'm a pantyhose conosur. The love affair started when I was around five years old when I procured my first pair from mom's dresser drawer. I was compelled to put them on, it was one of my earliest childhood memories. In later years I "liberated" ripped nylons from my mom's garbage can in her bedroom, gross hey! ... my only option at the time.

I was lucky to have a fashionable mom that wore nylons daily. Her color choice widely varied depending on her outfit so I had a steady supply. In my early twenties I shaved my legs and it was like I discovered pantyhose all over again. I started wearing them even more but the desire to crossdress wasn't really strong with one exception. Skirts looked and felt amazing with my new legs!

Truth is, it worried me a lot- that I might be heading down a continuum with one clothing item leading to the next- tops, shoes, bras etc. I was concerned my exploration and curiosity would end with the purchase of a wig and makeup; this was on my mind and my feelings were mixed as I slowly discovered my crossdressing life unfolded as predicted. Was I going to become a transvestite? This was troubling to me.

Today, I'm very happy and accepting of myself. I have brown eyes, why try and make them blue or pretend they are blue... enjoy brown eyes. So I enjoy my feminine side that came to me honestly. I'm lucky that I also enjoy being a man just as much, variety is the spice of life.

So! that's my story, pantyhose is where it all started for me.

It will be interesting to see where this thread goes!

I too am one that started with pantyhose at an early age, then fell in love with lingeri and stockings, but it took me almost 25 years before I moved on and brought some heels . From there on in there was no stopping me and in the last few years I have developed more than in the last 20 years, maybe I just grew up or injust relaxed and let me be me

[joannemarie barker]

Well the first thing I ever tried on was a one piece swimsuit but it was when I found tights that I fell in love with being girly

[Karren H]

Nope.. When I started. Pantyhose hadn't been invented or if it had wasn't available yet... I was totally into bras and girdles... Heavy duty, industrial strength, 1950's vintage foundations... My mother had a nice collection but my grandmother had the best stuff.. And silk stockings!! I do remember in high school when my girlfriend asked me to stop by the store and pick her up some pantyhose... I bought myself a pair too... But I was never that emphatuated with them..

[Office Stacy]

Pantyhose was my start and i went into heels, skirts, wigs and makeup. I really got into it after i went through a bad relationship that lasted for about six years. It was very exciting for me to get dressed up and go to my PO Box late at night.
Also cute outfit, sexy legs and love the heels.

As a young children YES I sneak mommas stockings. I still find the feel of two stocking cladded feet rubbing together heavenly.

I don't think it was pantyhose, although I do remember mom hanging them to dry in the bathroom (remember when most families had only ONE bathroom?) What I remember are the bras and swim suits, anything that had a strap go over your shoulder. I have since discovered the joys of skirts and dresses and have graduated into all kinds of different styles.

[Charleen]

Yep! Stockings! Panty hose weren't around then!

[RachelDee]

Seems to be the case for me, my mother brought up stories of me wearing her tights/pantyhose at a young age (5 or so, maybe younger). I don't really recall why (I was 5 after all lol) but I apparently did it a lot...

I do love how they look, wish girls wore them more often they are so lucky! They feel amazing too.

In adult life, this was the first thing I bought. It just sort of symbolised feminine to me (sorry if that sounds like a horrible stereotype).

[NicoleScott]

Nope.. When I started. Pantyhose hadn't been invented or if it had wasn't available yet.

....but animal prints were in vogue or all that was available.

[NoraTV]

I remember those bras, Karen. They could have been made with Erector Sets.

[Julogden]

For me, beginning when I was very young, 3 or 4, it was my mom's dresses and shoes, didn't try nylons until many years later when I was at the point where my mom's shoes were getting a little tight, so I tried on a pair of nylons to ease my growing feet into the shoes. That led to a garter belt and other lingerie. Pantyhose didn't exist at that time, although I did take to them immediately when they essentially replaced gartered stockings, which was during my high school years.

Not for me. It was a white nylon full slip. Hose did not show up in my wardrobe until I was about 17-18, some 7-8 years after the slip and then other female clothes.

[Mary of Long Beach]

Pantyhose for you, net slips for me. It is always something mary

Funny enough, this is exactly the same as my story. I was in Kindergarten or 1st grade when I realized the pantyhose my mother wore were so smooth, so soft. Soon after I "liberated" a nice pair of Navy Pantyhose from her drawer and the rest...is history.

My first CD experience was at a very early age, wearing a sister's full slip. I didn't discover pantyhose until some years later, but I was hooked on the feeling, and since my sister only had panty hose in those days, I had no access to garters and stockings or stay ups until I was an adult. I can't say I have a strong preference now. I wear stay ups or garters with more formal or sexier attier, pantyhose and tights in cooler weather or with short skirts.

I don't know if it was paved but I think my dad cleared a path for me. And made it easier for my wife to accept my dressing. Even if it was years before I told her.

I love stockings and tights, they are what got me started.

Did nylons pave your path to crossdressing?

No, but shaved legs did.

[missyvf]

Nope. Panties were my beginning. My best friends moms to be exact when I was 12.

[Rachel nylons]

Yes, tights did pave the way to my crossdressing. I was about 8 when I got the urge to try tights for the first time, I don't what made me want to try a pair on but when I did I fell in love with them straight away. It took 19 years before I went on to try heels with tights and another five to try on skirts and dresses.

[Wendy G]

Absolutely. 40 years later, they still thrill me. I love the feel on my smooth legs right now. They put me into this.

[andreah]

for me yes I started off wearing my moms stockings when I was little , loved the feeling I got from them , when my sisters started to wear stockings I wore their stockings garters dresses and heels, then came pantyhose in the late sixties, I was in heaven, never looked back and still wear pantyhose all the time, and stay up stockings at times

[Jaydee]

Technically, the first item that started me off into the CDing world were tights (US type). I was taking ski lessons at age 10. My mom gave me a pair of tights from a friend's daughter to keep my legs warm. I resisted at first, but once I wore them, I was hooked. A few years later, I found my mom's stash of old hosiery, including girdles in a back bedroom. Hosiery, primarily pantyhose became the focus, and an essential part of my dressing for the last 45 years.

Isn't it amazing how many of us started in this way?
