Shopping

[BlackSatinKnight]

When I first starting buying panties and stockings for myself I was so embarrassed. I had one bad experience, a VS in a mall in the South. The clerk told me, when I revealed the panties were for me, said that they don’t sell to “people like me”. Oh well, that was the South in the late ‘80s. Now, nobody bats an eye. I even had two sales clerks ask if I needed help. One with a corset, she said my jeans were in the way and unbuttoned them revealing my panties underneath. The other was at a local sex shop. She helped me find something sexy to wear under my street clothes, took me back to the dressing rooms, and when I changed she asked me to come out and model what she selected in the mirrors outside the dressing rooms. The issue I had (and I was so turned on) is that there were women going in and out of the other dressing rooms who walked right past me as I was on display. At least three ladies walked by and two of them gave me a knowing wink. The third blushed when we made eye contact. I’ve been back there, but unfortunately that clerk no longer works there. My wife now goes panty shopping with me.

I still do this a lot, I've purchased lots of lingerie at the local stores. Bras, thongs, bikinis, whatever.

I might have gotten the side eye sometimes when dressed male so I pretended to be looking at my phone as if I was checking pictures my girlfriend sent me, and then picked up the lingerie to take to the counter.

I go out a lot dressed up as a woman now and no one bats an eyelid. I sometimes get cis women asking me what colour of boots look good on them or complimenting my looks, so I think it'd be more advisable to make purchases when dressed.

I still don't like it much, I prefer the convenience of online stores.

Then why don't you. I buy all my own things, but then I always dress totally female. If it embarrasses you that much tough, use a self check-out.

I am headed to Torrid and Lane Bryant tomorrow and has anyone ever asked to use the dressing room?

Both support CDs though my husband finds Torrid much warmer in their welcome and eager support. I’ve seen it. They love dressing guys. I would suggest you start there.

Where are you all from?

 

[Easyvirtue]

I’ve shopped for my wofe at Torrid and they thought it was cute: so maybe if I say I’m not here for myself they’ll help! A Lot!

I think for some people these types of purchases are easy because they just have that “darn the world” kind of attitude and just own up to what they are doing. For others it is too much and they chicken out. I do not purchase this kind stuff for myself, but have had to buy it over the years. If a person is a little concerned about clerk’s reaction they can do what I had to do… deflect. In my situation it was the truth, but feel free use the little white lie/

If buying panties just say, “Oh my gosh, you would not believe the blowout my wife just had”, giving you good reason to be buying panties for her while alone. For me that explanation was enough, and no one wanted more details on that!

One time my wife refused to go out for a date night because from house to car she got runs up her pantyhose. I had to go in and buy her some new ones, so that is what I told the clerk. "It is so ridiculous, I have to buy these because she got runs in hers and refuses to come in here and buy her own. I minds well buy maxipads and Midol while I am in here". For others on here, they could say that as an excuse.

But I have bought pantyhose for a prefilter on my shopvac and that is just what I said while buying them. “This is not what it looks like, I just need a prefilter on my shopvac”, which was true, but I have bought pantyhose as filters to take out globs in old paint too.

The point is, if you are a bit nervous about buying this stuff, you can always be creative and think of situations or legitimate reasons for buying them that would not be for you That way if someone asks you have a ready answer as to why you are getting them. Good luck in any case...

No need to make excuses, own it...I was buying (for me) some women's cut-off shorts...I grabbed the wrong size and had to tell the clerk at checkout that I needed a bigger size. They were unfazed...

Act normal, what you buy is your business.

I've shopped at both in the central Ohio area. Both were accommodating but I prefer Torrid. They always ask if I'm shopping for myself or someone else. Some of the ladies seem to really enjoy helping and providing suggestions. I've had bra fittings there as well.

My advice as someone whos been living femme full time for nearing a decade are

Confidence: this is the most important. Act like and give off vibes like you're supposes to be there, cause you are! Awkwardness radiates out and makes everyone else awkward towards you. Pick what you want and pay for it casually like you would anything else. Its just clothing in the end.

Being warm and funny: it goes a long way towards making anything social easier.

Dont treat it as special: normalize it, make small talk w the cashier about how cold/hot the weathers been and how youre loving or sick of it. Weather is a small talk cheat code!

 

[TallOne]

I’m gonna go shopping Wednesday and just go into dressing rooms to just get naked and jerk off in the mirror!

Yeah...don't do that. That sort of behavior is what stigmatizes the whole community.

Just the horny talking. I would not do that.

I bought some at Walmart. I scouted from a distance then swooped in and grabbed them added them to my cart and did the self checkout. I look great in them. Dm me if you want to see

Hmmm most things I think you can just buy online with little to no need to buy at a local store. There is a website that you can use to give you an idea about sizes. https://www.size.ly/conversion-charts/pants-sizes-for-men-and-women They have many conversion charts. I also suggest that you go and get your measurements. I hope this helps.

I have had a few sales girls ask if I was buying for a wife or someone special. I just tell them no it's for me. Had one say no it isn't as if I was just kidding. Most are ok with it a couple asked if I wanted to try anything on.

 

[Wonderer67]

I was just (te)telling my wife about the time I had to go to Europe for a trip and took a few days off in Paris. She asked me if I would bring her back some nice high-end lingerie.

I went to this really nice boutique place. The sales lady (owner?) was gorgeous. I bought my wife a really nice bralette and matching pair of panties. Then I told her I wanted to get a pair of panties for me.

She didn’t bat an eye.

I was sort of trying to flirt with her and seeing how far it would go, she said in this amazingly French accent “zis kind of sing happens all de time.” I got so hard.

I also dropped 400 something euro on a bralette and panties for my my wife and panties for me!

 

[Wonderer67]

My wife went with me to a Victoria’s Secret a few times. It was clearly to help me pick out a pair of panties and we asked for a sales woman to help out.

It was amazingly humiliating!

 

[kara_cd_sissy]

I’m really wanting to go shopping for my own lingerie and not buy online anymore. What kind of response have some of you gotten shopping and it obviously being for you.

Well there are some of us that humiliation is such a turn on that the experience has us hard the whole time. Asking the sales girls for assistance making sure that they know it is for you is icing on the cake.
I had a sales girl insist on taking measurements in the middle of the store after she realized who I was shoping for. Like she new what it was doing to me. Even groped my clitty and stated there wasn't much there to keep hidden. That was the first of several trips to see her.

OMG that’s so erotic and I wish I can experience that very soon! I often leave the house with the intention to shop for myself then I get to my favorite locals, either Lane Bryant or Torrid and chicken out or put my male face on and say I’m they’re for my wife.

 

[Uncut1969]

I love to shop for dildos or other items at sex shop gets me extra horny!

 

[Lucien_Al]

Shopping next to older and younger women in the women’s lingerie section is the most incredible turn on. I know with my face being every shade of red it’s a big a “hey look at me” situation, I just have to get over the fact no one cares, I guess. LOL

Have had an older woman complain to the store assistant about me being in the underwear section.

 

[Lori_Lux]

I've never had any negative experiences. It's usually like any other interaction. One time when I was buying make up though a lady in her early 20s rang me through and she seemed very excited and happy. That's the only non normal one that comes to mind.
