Tips for smooth skin Specially for Crossdressers

What is it that turns you on? Everyone has something. Something special. If you’re a cd, I’m betting that there’s something in the feminization process that really gets your motor running. Maybe it’s applying makeup or slipping into your crossdresser clothes. Or maybe something more specific. Like glossy lip stick or big long lashes. Maybe it’s that moment when you strap on your heels. Or lace up your corset. Maybe it’s the moment you tuck yourself into your gaff. Perhaps it’s the feel of a certain material against your skin. Satin? Leather? Latex? Lace? Maybe it’s your favorite pair of panties. Or your silkiest panty hose.

For me, there’s one step that really puts me over the edge. (And puts all these other steps to shame.) For me, there’s one step that makes me think to myself, “Yes! Now I’m there. Now I’m in girlie mode.” And there’s no other feeling quite like it.

My moment is when I do my full body shave. I’ve been doing it for about a year now. (After several years of steady progression.) Now I’m smooth 100% of the time. I shave about once a week – more if I’m going out or doing something special. And every time I finish shaving I have the same reaction. I run my hands over my naked body. I feel the softness of my skin. And I am immediately transported. Like I said above, that is the moment when I cross over into girlie mode.

Also, for me, that moment is a bit of an accomplishment. Like most beginning dressers, I was hesitant to start shaving my body. I was afraid people would notice. I was concerned about what my vanilla friends and co-workers might think. But at the same time, I was trying very hard to look and feel more like the women and tgirls I admired. And none of them had body hair. So I started doing it in steps.

I started with my chest. This was pretty easy. Because in today’s world, lots of men shave or wax their chests. In fact, when I go to the beach in LA, it’s pretty rare to see a healthy looking, fit, toned man who doesn’t shave his chest. As more guys have started hitting the gym, they’ve all started shaving – all the better to show off those defined muscles and rock hard abs! I have neither muscles nor six pack abs, but seeing lots of other men with shaved, smooth chests gave me the confidence I needed to give it a try.

Not long after that I started shaving my legs regularly. Now, shaving your legs is just plain sexy. At least it is to me. I stretch out in the tub, and all those images of long legged girls from old Lady Schick tv commercials come rushing back to me. It’s a very erotic image. But again, I was worried that people would notice. So even though I loved the feeling, I would usually only shave in the winter. I didn’t want to bare my legs during the summer shorts season. I didn’t want to invite stares or embarrassing questions. That lasted a few years. But gradually, I became a little more courageous. I started wearing shorts in the summer again – even with my shaved legs. And, if anyone noticed, they didn’t say anything. It’s been several years, and no one’s ever pointed it out to me.

The next areas I tackled in my smoothie progression were my more private areas… my pubic region in the front and my ass in the back. These are very delicate areas to shave (obviously), but socially, they were pretty easy to face. I don’t know about you, but not that many people see these areas, so I didn’t feel I was exposing myself by shaving. I’m not going to describe for you the odd positions I get into to shave my “hard to reach” spots, but suffice to say that it’s a pretty awkward process. If shaving my legs is a sexual, sensual experience, then shaving my ass is low brow comedy. Actually it’s a lot like sex! It’s best to be gentle, to try different positions, and to keep checking yourself in a mirror. ;)

Along the way in this process, I also began shaving my back and shoulders and underarms. I don’t have a lot of back hair, but sheesh(!), when you start shaving, it suddenly feels like a whole lot more. What a pain! (And with the inevitable shaving irritation, when I say, “What a pain,” I really mean it. But a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.) BTW… if you find any of these areas absolutely unreachable, then get a friend to help! I’m serious. Just make sure it’s a really good friend.

The last part of my smooth-ification process was the most difficult for me. It involves a body part that I knew I couldn’t hide on a regular basis: my lower arms. For years, I shaved my upper arms and then wore long gloves when I went out in public or posed for photos. But I got tired of the gloves. And I was really tired of having drinks slip out of my hands! (Drinks in LA are pretty darn expensive!) I also wanted to wear nails – another one of those key feminization steps! But I knew that if I shaved my forearms that someone would notice. And someone did. A friend at work saw my smooth arms and asked me immediately. “What’s going on?”

I stammered a bit. I had my answer well prepared and ready, but I still stammered. Here’s what I said. I looked him in the eye and said, “Yes. I like it better this way.” Amazingly, that’s all it took. He never asked again. What does he think of my arms? Of my shaving? What does he think of me now? I don’t know. But I’ve never felt any repercussions. Apparently he accepts me as I am – my eccentricities included. Does he now think I’m a tranny because I shave my arms? I doubt it, that’s quite a leap. But I suppose it’s a possibility. All I know is that I was proud of myself for answering directly and honestly. And I still am! I’m usually not this brave. Or honest. So I have to give myself props when I am.

When asked about body shaving, I have tgirl friends who like to say, “My wife (or girlfriend) prefers me like this.” To me, that’s a great answer because what guy wouldn’t respect another man for trying to please his wife? Or for trying to appear more sexually attractive to her? In a way, it’s the perfect answer.

So that, in a nutshell, is my smoothness progression. From chest to legs to privates to forearms. I’ve also tried some hair removal products (without much success) and full body waxing (very successful, but quite painful and expensive). So there’s no easy answer for the tgirl who wants to present as smooth as a “real” girl. But I’ve found that all the work and effort really pays off. When I step out of the tub in my newly shaved body, I feel like I’ve arrived. Like I’m taking another step in my journey to become more femme and sexy. And the touch of smooth, ladylike skin? That’s pure heaven – even if you’re just touching yourself. ;)

By the way, I know several girls who have started or completed laser hair removal processes. These processes are becoming more and more popular among men and women of all kinds (gay, straight, young, old). It’s too expensive for me, but maybe I’ll interview a few girls who have gone through the laser process to see how successful it was and how expensive it was. I also know that the use of hormones for men can restrict or halt body hair growth.

All I know is that I hear radio commercials for professional hair removal several times a day. So it seems like that business is really growing. And that’s a good sign for girls like us. The more common hairless male bodies become, the less conspicuous girls like us will feel. So there’s never been a better time to get smooth.

Great Tips for selecting your perfect pair of glass slippers from Chrissy Winters

One thing all of us girls have in common is that we all love a great pair of shoes. Suddenly Fem can help you select your perfect pair of glass slippers!
First you will need to convert your men’s shoe size to a woman’s size shoe. For example if you currently wear a size 10 in men’s then you are a size 12 in women’s. If you are not 100% sure on what size shoe you need in a women’s shoe, I suggest purchasing a shoe chart from Suddenly Fem just to be sure.
The perfect pair of crossdressing shoes for any of us girls is a classic pair of pumps. If you area beginner to wearing pumps you might want to test drive your shoes at home before wearing them out on the town. You also may want to practice walking in then first, going up and down stairs and getting up and down so you know what to expect. You don’t want to look clumsy wearing your pumps so practice makes perfect.
Here is another tip…..if you have large legs or thick ankles you might want to consider wearing a chunkier heal, especially when wearing a skirt or dress. Not only does a chunkier heal more comfortable to walk in but they will also make your ankles appear thinner – bonus!
Boots are also a popular choice. A boot can be worn with everything from a jean-skirt to a dress and they look great! Coupled with the fact that boots are so sexy & feminine, but don't reveal too much, you really can’t go wrong! Boots are totally sexy and make a statement.
Some quick tips:
Know your size in women’s shoes before making a selection
If you are new to wearing women’s shoe start off slowly with a comfortable and chunkier heal
Boots can be worn with just about anything and are super sexy & feminine
Black shoes are extremely versatile and can be worn with just about anything
White shoes are great with bright colors like red or pinks
Silver shoes look good with white, black, blue, purple and pinks
So next time you see a pair of drop dead gorgeous pair of shoes…just remember that we all know that girls can never have enough pairs of shoes!

The Panty Guide for Crossdressers


The Panty Guide


Boy Shorts & HipstersRelatively new on the underwear scene are boy shorts and hipsters. A boy-cut short is a full-coverage panty style with a low-riding waistline and leg openings that rest just above the thigh. Because they sit so low on the waist, boy shorts can visually lengthen your torso. Well-fitting, curve-skimming boy shorts can also smooth lumps and bumps on your hip and upper thigh area. Hipsters offer the same low-riding waistline as boy shorts, but the leg openings hit well above the thigh, helping to avoid the fabric "ride-up" you sometimes get when wearing longer-cut boy shorts. While hipsters are generally considered a full-coverage style, some may be cut a bit higher in the rear than classic boy shorts or briefs.

BriefsIf comfort is your primary concern, briefs are for you. The traditional brief offers full coverage in the front and back with a waistband that sits at or slightly above your natural waistline. Briefs also have a low, squared-off leg line. There are a few styles that fall under the larger umbrella category of briefs:
Modern briefs, like traditional briefs, offer full front and back coverage, but have a lower rise. Their waistbands sit a few inches below the natural waistline.
High-cut briefs offer the same full coverage as traditional briefs, but have high-cut leg openings in front. The waistband sits at or just above your natural waistline.
French-cut briefs have the highest-cut leg openings of all brief styles. The leg openings hit the highest point on the hip and are positioned more to the front of the panties than the standard high-cut brief. The waistband should sit at your natural waistline.
Control briefs are meant to slim your tummy, bottom or upper thighs. They look like traditional or high-cut briefs, but feature control panels at the front, rear or both.

Boxers/ Girl Shorts 
Women's boxer shorts (also known as "girl shorts") are designed to be worn as loungewear, as a base layer or as a body shaper. Loungewear boxers are cut much like men's boxer shorts and are not meant to be worn under clothing. They are loose-fitting and often feature an elastic waistband with a drawstring Women's performance boxers are meant to be worn while exercising. They are usually made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics that fit snugly against the body and stretch with you as you move. Compression boxers (shapewear) feature control panels in the tummy, rear or thighs. These styles may have high waistbands and longer legs to tighten up trouble areas.

Skimpier Panty Styles: For Less Coverage
Thongs 
The idea that thongs are uncomfortable or worn for less-than-practical intentions is antiquated and without merit. These bareback basics have much practical purpose, in that they eliminate unsightly panty lines under skirts and snug-fitting pants and are often more comfortable than full-coverage panties because of their minimal fabric.
While all are backless, thongs come in a variety of styles:
G-strings feature little more than a triangle of fabric in front and a thin "string" of fabric around the hips and down the back. This is one of the skimpiest thong styles and is best reserved for wearing undertight-fitting bottoms to eliminate visible panty lines.
V-strings are similar to G-strings but feature a rear string that separates into a "V" of two strings (or a small triangle of fabric) at the rear waistband.
T-backs have waistbands or strings that stretch straight across your waist; so from the back, the side and bottom straps have a "T" shape.
Rios are similar to T-backs except the waistband rises above the hips at the sides instead of sitting straight across your waist and back.
Tangas offer the most coverage of any thong style. They generally have wide waistbands and back straps.
Bikinis 
Bikini-cut panties are classic and flattering for women of all shapes and sizes. Bikinis give full coverage in the back with leg openings that are cut above the thigh. Most bikinis sit about three inches below the natural waistline, although with the popularity of low-rise pants, some are now cut even lower. String bikinis, as the name implies, are designed with thinner straps (strings) at the sides for a less-bulky fit under clothing.
For comfort, fit is key. If your bikini panties are too tight, they can bind up your backside and draw attention to problem areas, even under clothing. Ideally, they should fit close enough to your body that they don't gape, but not so close that the waistband or leg openings dig into your skin.
Seamless/ No-Show/ Invisible Panties 
Panties categorized as "seamless," "no-show" or "invisible" are sleek and smooth and virtually disappear under clothing. Seamless designs are most often made from a stretchy, wrinkle-free synthetic material like spandex, polyester, nylon, Lycrar or a blend of these. Seamless styles often come tag-free for an even smoother look under clothing. These panties offer a range of coverage styles, from skimpy to more conservative.
Panty Fabrics
The type of fabric your panties are made from is as important as their style, cut and fit.
Cotton 
Cotton panties are inexpensive, durable, comfortable and breathable. One advantage of these panties is that they can be tossed in the washer and dryer without sacrificing much shape or fit. Most panties are made with cotton or a cotton blend.
Silk/ Satin 
Popular fabric choices for women who want a chic-looking panty, most silk and satin panties need to be hand-washed and hung to dry, so caring for them can be a little labor intensive. They can also be heavily embellished with lace and other detailing that may be visible through clothing.
Polyester/ Synthetics
Polyester and other stretchy synthetics provide the best seamless support. These materials are also popular for exercising because they wick moisture and dry quickly. Polyester and other synthetic materials generally must be hung to dry after washing.

How to select corset size


How to select corset size


A corset is a garment worn to hold and shape the torso into a desired shape for aesthetic or medical purposes (either for the duration of wearing this item, or with a more lasting effect). Both men and women are known to wear corsets, though women are more common wearers.
How do I select the right size?

It is our recommendation to order the size that is 4 inches below your natural waist measurement. For example, if the measurement around the narrowest part of your relaxed waist is 30", you would typically order your corset in waist size 26" that is corset size 40. 


Corset Size Table
Why do I need to wear corset? 

  • Corset is fashion.
  • Corset can make you look like an hourglass figure.
  • Corset can be used to train your waist into shape.
  • Corsets can instantly 'improve' the figure without dieting, slimming drugs, or cosmetic surgery.
  • Corsets can reduce pain and improve function for people with back problems or other muscular/skeletal disorders.
  • Some large-breasted women find corsets more comfortable than brassieres, because the weight of the breasts is carried by the whole corset rather than the brassiere's shoulder straps. (Straps can chafe or cut the skin.) However, if a bra is properly fitted, the weight of the breasts is carried by the band and not by the shoulders, thus eliminating this problem for even women with very large breasts.
  • Some corset-wearers enjoy the feeling of being "hugged" by the corset.
  • Due to their tightness and close proximity to the body, corsets can make the wearer feel very warm. They have been most often worn in cool climates.
How to lace corset?
  • Start the lace from the inside, feed the lacing through the top of corsets.
  • Feed the lace on the left side and cross it over to the right. Slip it into the eyelet. Make sure that the lace that crosses over forms a line that stays outside of the corset. Repeat this on the right lace, alternating over then under through each eyelets in a series of X's
  • Continue in alternating X's until you reach the center or waistline of the corset. This is where the puller-loop is created. The puller-loop is the loop of lace that you pull on to draw in the corset. Please note that the puller-loop MUST be on the outside.
  • Take the left lace and slip it through the next eyelet down on the left side. This creates a loop on the outside of the corset. The remaining lace should now be on the inside. Now for the right side, take the right lace and slip it through the next eyelet down on the right side. The remaining lace should be on the inside.
  • Continue in alternation X's until you reach the bottom and tie it off.

Top Tips for Sissy Maids


All good sissy maids want to demonstrate their love and commitment to their Mistress by doing all their tasks to the best of their ability. To go the extra mile, make that extra effort or learn a new skill that will please their Superior, bring a smile to Her face, add to Her comfort or just make their Superiors life that little bit easier.
ing: 0.0px;”>To that end I invite all sissy maids out their to send in your “top tips for sissy maids”. It could be about something that you do that is going beyond the call of duty. It could be about a domestic chore that you do especially well, a little trick you have picked up or a more efficient way you have found to do a better job. It could be  a special service you provide or the way you dress and present yourself that your Superior has found pleasing. Maybe you have done a course or found an online resource that has helped you.  It can be any advice you may think will help other sissy maids.
Leave your suggestions in the comment box below
The first ‘Top Tip” comes from maid jeniffer. The way she looks after her wifes lingerie is absolutely wonderful. She displays such care, honour and reverence, she is an inspiration indeed. Here is her tip: 
 As a sissy maid one of the most important duties is the proper care of delicate lingerie whether it’s your own or your Mistress’s. It is best to soak lingerie in cold sudsy water and never mix dark colours with whites or lighter colours. Using your finger tips only, gently agitate each piece and make sure your fingernails are filed nicely to avoid snagging and damaging the fabric especially if it’s lace or silk. Rinse each piece separately in cool water and very gently squeeze out excess water. Never squeeze lingerie like a dish rag. Instead fold a large fluffy bath towel in half lengthwise and place her lingerie carefully on it then gently roll it up and press down lightly to remove most of the water. Hang your Mistress’s bras and panties or whatever else you washed on the shower curtain to dry the rest of the way. When dry it’s time to neatly fold them and put them away. I have learned to keep my Mistress’s lingerie drawer in some sort of order, I keep her everyday bras and panties in front where they are easily accessible. For her extra special bras and panties that she only wears when going out to social functions I keep her favourites on top so she can admire her collection everytime she opens the drawer. Taking proper your Mistress’s lingerie and other fine washables will go a long way in pleasing her and making her happy to have you serve as her maid. Always remember it is a privelege to serve as a maid, doing a good job using your own initiative has rewards.
 
My Mistress, Mrs Birch  has taught me an excellent way to clean a bathroom that ensures it is left sparkling. Mistress  has allowed me to share it with you all.
 The first step is to don a pair of bright pink rubber gloves. Then vacuum the bathroom while it is dry making sure to remove any hair that is lying around, This ensures that hair doesn’t interfere with any of the cleaning you do later. Then spray a mould remover all through the shower recess. Leave that while it does its work and then clean the toilet. Make sure the lid, the seat, under the seat and the bowl are all scrubbed clean. Flush the toilet and wipe down the seat. Then get to work on the bath and sink with a cream cleanser such as Jif. Use an old toothbrush to clean under the base of the taps to clean out all the grime that has lodged there. After wiping down rinse off using a watering can filled with hot water. This ensures there are no streak marks left. A great idea. Return to the shower recess. Wipe down the mould remover and use the toothbrush to get into any nooks and cranny’s that cannot be reached with your sponge. Again use the watering can to rinse off, ensuring there are no streak marks. Next use a paper towel and a window cleaning product to clean the mirror. It is vital this is done perfectly as Your Mistress will be looking in that mirror at Herself. The final task is with bucket and mop clean the floor. Allow to dry before replacing any mats etc.

Our next set of top tips comes from sissy maid nancy. nancy certainly understands the value of chastity for the aspiring sissy maid. Here are her tips:

1. A good chastity device. i spent weeks some years ago getting my cb2000 right ie rings, spacers etc. It is now inescapable and i wear it 24/7. The body adjusts. The curve and all the others are ridiculous. i’m not small but for me the cb2000 is the best and most secure.
2. Write notes to yourself .
3. Trim nails and keep them neat and use clear gloss
4. I do this – shave arm pits, chest, legs and privates always
5. Use scholl cream to keep dead skin of feet
6. Practice curtseys every night in high heels first nigt is a  killer but after a while the leg muscles get used to it
7. Always try to wear chastity that bit longer. i cannot stress enough how important chastity is. i am in my eighth week now.
8. Research on makeup and practice …

Tonia la Chene sent in a tip about vacuuming. I am sure getting up close as she suggests ensures a more thorough job is done. Here is her tip:

When vacuuming one should remove the long nozzle, so one has to crawl to vacuum the room.

Sissy Dolores has given us a fantastic suggestion we can apply to all our tasks. What a wonderful habit to adopt to ask ourselves these three questions after any task. If we answer these questions honestly we will always be improving in our service:

1. Have I carried out the task as instructed to the letter?
2. Have I done it to the best of my ability?
3. How can I improve on it next time?

Here is a tip from Sissy Georgina:

When I go to work in my male clothes (I work in an office where I must wear a suit), besides wearing ladies undergarments which I am sure most of you do, Mistress has made me sew up the pockets on my trousers and coat. I am only allowed to wear business shirts that have no pockets as well. Mistress believes that pockets are a symbol of  masculine superiority over women and as such forbids me such a privilege. Women have had to endure this inconvenience for centuries so I can too. This may not sound a big deal but it is a nuisance and an inconvenience greater than I realised. As Mistress says it is a good regular reminder of my underlying sissy status. I have a ‘man bag’ in which I keep my keys, phone and purse (I am also forbidden a wallet). It has led to some teasing from my work colleagues which I must endure. When I complained to Mistress about the teasing she said I must learn to accept in a spirit of obedience as a demonstration of my love for my wife. After work drinks with colleagues are also forbidden. I have to rush home to get dinner on the table and attend to my other chores.

Here is an excellent tip that I have incorporated into my life. 

All sissy maids should have a chores checklist. Chores should be categorised into daily chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the stove top, making the bed, wiping the table down. Then there are weekly chores such as cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming the floors, cleaning the kitchen floor. Then monthly chores such as cleaning the oven and the fridge and finally quarterly chores such as cleaning out the garage, the pantry and all the cupboards. Of course the Mistress can add any chore into any category. As each chore is done the sissy maid ticks it off and is immediately reminded of what other chores remain to be done. Any chores not completed in the schedule will attract a punishment and having the chores checklist makes it easier for Mistress to evaluate the sissy maids work and to determine if and what punishment is required. This is a wonderful motivation and ensures the household is always clean, tidy and hygienic. Having the checklist in a prominent position where the sissy maid sees it regularly serves as a great reminder for the sissy maid. Any chore not done to Mistress’s standard also attracts a punishment.

Here is some great advice from beatrice. What a wonderful way for a sissy to show her devotion.

Take a course or research the art of a beautician. Learn how to do manicures and pedicures properly. It’s a wonderful treat to spend quality time with your Mistress, doing her nails, especially if it is in preparation for a date. It is so fulfilling later on that evening, when she is out with Her man and you are at the house by yourself, to know that You assisted her in getting gorgeous. And while she is out, be productive or have a surprise for your Mistress when she gets back. Why not bake a cake for Her? Or write Her a love letter or poem, that you can read for Her the next day. I also put together outfits for my Mistress, and I am in charge of keeping her closets nice and pretty. It’s such a wonderful treat. So, you have to learn how to care of clothing, shoes, jewelry and handbags etc. Once you do, you will love it!
