Hiya girlies!
From tomorrow I am visiting my partner’s highly Catholic, Eastern European parents, so I will have to pretend to be a boy for like two weeks straight.
I already know I’m gonna feel disgusting when I get back.
So what things do you do to feel cute and feminine? I’d love to have some nice things to try when I am safe again.
Thank you <3
I’m a female at birth, so not sure if I’m supposed to comment here, but I was just telling my husband earlier this week that layering makes me feel distinctly feminine! I wore a slip with a bit of lace at the bottom hem, and then a slightly shorter slip with extra fabric at the hem, then a dress over both for Thanksgiving for flowy peak a boo layers. The act of putting on several beautiful and soft and lovely layers that were pointless beyond being pretty made me feel so happy and girly :)
I hope you can find some stuff that makes you feel happy and girly :)
Oh wowww, that does sound super pretty and satisfying, I definitely need lots more soft and lovely layers!
Thank you for contributing, everyone’s unique brand of femininity is valued and appreciated ❤️
Of course you’re allowed to comment! And I’m not OP, but thank you for your insight! I love the idea of peak a boo layers. Never thought of it that way ❤️
If it were me, I’d be wearing thigh highs and/or panties under my boyclothes >:)
But to answer your question:
Painting nails, a classic.
Cleaning, trimming and filing nails to make them look nice.
Relaxing in a nice long bath.
Shaving or otherwise removing body hair.
Put a ribbon or flower in your hair!
Gosh now I regret forcing myself not to buy thigh highs or skirts or anything until I lose weight hehehe~
The comfy warm bath and shaving session does sound perrrrfect though, all the steam and soft girl smells (:
If you’re going to do your nails, treat yourself to a crystal/glass file. They don’t cost loads (I got a “Mont Bleu” set of 3 off amazon for less than £10, they look like this😏) but seriously - not only are they so much smoother to use, they really help stop them breaking and fraying as much at the tips, so they can grow longer and stronger!

Ngl I wouldn’t do that for a partner. Not a chance. I don’t have family in my life. No future partners of mine will meet my family. I don’t have to meet my partners’ families. I wouldn’t make myself miserable for two weeks minimum for any family. Not a chance I would do this. You say “when I am safe again.” I wouldn’t be with a partner who wanted me to feel like that for their comfort.
In this regard I am fortunate in that I am still very early in my transition, my girl voice is very bad and embarrassing, I can’t really present feminine yet, I still have a very long way to go. So it’s uncomfy to pretend nothing is going on, but it’s not gonna really hurt me.
I don’t think I’ll be visiting them again after this time though.
