Lingerie basics
A methodical way to go about purchasing lingerie is to ask yourself what you really want to wear. A bra? Camisole? A sexy corset?
Once you’ve decided on what you want- whether that be one, all or beyond the above, search which retailers sell what you are after.
Give them a quick call and ask whether they fit men. Now you know place and product.
Now, it’s time to ramp up the courage to head over and ask for a changing room.
[Remember, the staff working in shops have a job to make sales, so find comfort in that whatever your gender may be, your money is the same. Trust me, they won’t say you cannot buy as you choose].
Once you’ve got that all down to a tea, shop until you drop- and enjoy it! Lingerie shopping is fun. Just make sure you strut your stuff in every sexy find.

Start with these beauties
Here are a few lingerie items every cross-dresser and transgender person should own…
A bralette
Bralettes are easier to wear than a bra. They are also more forgiving if you choose the wrong size.
Nude and black bralettes are a must. A bit of colour is nice too! If you’re unsure of your size, there are online calculators, or many lingerie shops usually offer breast measuring.

A Panty Gaff
For those wanting a more flat, feminine look, this is right up your street since a gaff is designed to offer smoothing at the front.
Padded Knickers
Craving curves? If so, padded panties may offer you an instant solution, with options of hip lifting and butt-shaping available.
Simple Knickers
Basic knickers are always a necessity – thongs, briefs, high-waisted briefs, whatever you choose.
