A Guide to Crossdressers Lingerie – From Tiffany Hart

Purchasing the first few pieces of lingerie for crossdressers is such an exciting experience but it can also be a daunting one! There are so many choices of colour, style and material – not to mention the differences between men’s and women’s sizes! There are various different reasons why men crossdress, and here at Tiffany Hart we are devoted to offering our crossdressing customers beautiful and good quality lingerie. We believe that part of that experience is offering you a guide to choosing pieces that are perfect for you.

Bras

Bra sizing can definitely be difficult even for the ladies, but if you don’t have breasts then the process is simplified. Bra sizing works in a system of band size and cup size, but if you don’t have breasts then you only need to determine your band size by measuring the circumference of your chest. There are many charts online to help you work out what your circumference equates to as a band size. You should also be aware that different brands may vary their size charts massively, so consult each brand’s size chart before making any purchases.

Your cup size represents the difference between your band size and bust size. If you are choosing to use breastforms, you should measure them and find out the circumference of your chest over them. If you aren’t using breastforms, you can choose your cup size. A longline bra is perfect as there is very little movement and the full cups will secure any breast enhancements used.

Panties

You can buy ladies panties in a wide variety of styles, such as thongs, full knickers or briefs. It is important to remember that the majority of women’s styles are designed to accommodate slightly larger hips and thighs and aren’t designed to accommodate for male genitals. The best option for cross-dressers is generally something with a little stretch and more coverage to prevent them from slipping off your hips and to contain your genitals comfortably.

When purchasing women’s underwear, you may have to be particularly selective about which styles will work for you as a cross-dresser, or you can choose to buy specialty underwear that is designed with you in mind.

For example, at Tiffany Hart we offer a wide range of panties – from high-waisted ‘full’ or French Knickers (both of which are a great addtion to a crossdressers lingerie drawer) – to sexy lace varieties – we are sure you will find something that you love!

Stockings

What else can make you feel as feminine as a good pair of stockings? You can get stockings that are clipped to a suspender belt to hold them up or, a simpler version, hold up stockings which do not require any clipping or fastening, but are held up with silicon bands. Normally you only need your height and rough weight to ensure you are purchasing the right size stockings, and most styles come in S, M, L or even XL. Some can be ‘one size fits all’ – which is fine if you are of ‘average’ height and build, but you may find they often don’t some up high enough and will ‘tug’ on a suspender belt. This you want to avoid, especially if you have slim hips.

Stockings are perfect for giving you a sexy, feminine feeling, and they can be as neutral and pared back or as bold and courageous as you want! Stockings are most certainly a necessary addition to your wardrobe for any occasion.

Suspender Belts

Now we have discussed stockings, we must talk about suspender belts. These practical and stunning pieces of lingerie are also essential in the wardrobe of any crossdresser. These pieces are beautifully decorative and the foundation of any lingerie set. Suspenders are great in a practical sense, as they hold up your stockings, but they also create a stunning silhouette and allow your feminine features to truly shine.

Most good suspender belts have 6 straps, but you can also get ones with 4, 8, 10 and even 12 straps for maximum hold. Whilst you can purchase suspender belts with plastic clips, metal clips are better because they are much stronger and allow for a firmer grip, meaning you don’t have to worry about constantly readjusting your stockings.

It is also advisable to go for one that sits firmly on the waist (rather than the skimpy ‘fashion’ belts) as these will stay in place and not slide down once stockings are attached. Choosing the right size is extremely important to avoid movement and slipping. Items of lingerie for crossdressers such as a suspender belt should always be bought by waist measurement – not S,M,L ect. These sizes can differ greatly between manufacturers so a Small from one shop or supplier may be a couple of inches smaller or larger than a Small from another. All products on our website give waist measurements in inches and CM and this is what you should check before purchase.

Girdles

Girdles are incredibly popular amongst cross-dressers, primarily because of the stunning hourglass figure they give you. Wearing a girdle will eliminate 1-3 inches from your waistline and will allow you to show off your feminine self in its true form. Many girdles also come with matching suspenders so you can have a complete and cohesive look.

Tiffany Hart has many varieties of girdles, including waist clinchers for a super sleek look, to crotchless panty girdles for when you’re in the mood for seduction – there is a girdle for every occasion!

There really is no need for it to be a daunting experience when you purchase lingerie; we want you to love the experience almost as much as you love actually wearing it! Following our Guide to Crossdressers Lingerie should eliminate any confusion you have about buying lingerie for the purposes of crossdressing, making the whole process far easier and allowing you much more excitement and anticipation.
