What Makes Lingerie So Special for Crossdressers?

The Importance of Lingerie

Crossdressing has a lot to do with clothes. But crossdresser linger is more than just pieces of fabric. They’re keys to unlocking an intimate experience. They’re crucial to drawing out crossdressers’ femininity.

For MTF crossdressers, lingerie bridges the gap between how feminine you look and how feminine you feel. These garments gift crossdressers with a more feminine shape and aesthetic.

The Role of Fabric and Fit

Since we’re talking about lingerie, I can’t discount the role of fabric and fit.

When it comes to textures, silky, lacy, and stretchy fabrics always win. They cling to your figure (whatever shape you are) and smooth out any spudgy edges. They also feel so good to the touch!

Fit-wise, you gotta have the right fit. When you do, your whole crossdresser lingerie ensemble will look more polished. It’s totes worth it to invest extra time to find the best fit!

Types of Lingerie Crossdressers Love

In your crossdresser lingerie journey, there will be misses and bullseyes. IMO, it’s all part of the plan — yep, even those unflattering lingerie that you end up showing way behind your drawer!

In general, there are six lingerie crossdressers can play with:

1. Bras

Bras are obviously a part of the lingerie line-up. But what you may not know is that not everyone bothers to find the right bra! Even ladies (who have their whole life to practice) can’t just walk into the bra store, get one, and expect to get the perfect fit.

As an MTF crossdresser, what makes a bra “good”? Well, it should give you support, is comfy, and all while looking naturally female.

There are lots of bras to choose from. But the most common ones are padded and push-up bras. Go get yourself bras with lace detailing if you’re feeling fancy!

There’s a trick to nailing the perfect female chest as a crossdresser.

Aside from getting the right bra product, add a pair of Roanyer’s breast forms too! You’ll have that realistic bounce and fullness in no time. To make things twice as easy, pair it with Roanyer’s pocket bras.

2. Panties

If you have a bra, of course, you need some cute (or sexy) panties, too! When you slip into a pair you really like, you’ll definitely feel more attuned to your femininity.

See, unlike men’s undies, panties are more delicate and come in thousands of adorable designs. They also come in various shapes and with additional features like frills or bows.

Whatever mood you’re going for, as a crossdresser, I’m sure you can find a matching pair of panties for it!

Types of Panties

You can never miss these choices:

• Lace panties are timeless. They’re ideal if you plan to tease a partner or just enjoy yourself.

• Thongs are awesome if you don’t want any lines showing under tight outfits.

• Boyshorts offer more coverage but are still insanely cute! But they’re also great if you pair them with a baggy top.

• Feeling more modest? Nothing wrong with sticking with the classic hipster knickers!

3. Garter Belts & Stockings

Garter belts and stockings make things extra fun… and spicy! Simply wearing these will instantly make you feel like a new wife on her honeymoon or a secretary in an illicit affair.

What I’m saying is that they’re hot and are fuel to any naughty fantasy! This is exactly why they’re a popular choice. They’re oozing with femininity and sensual, vintage allure no crossdresser should skip!

You’ll usually see these worn together:

• Garter belts to fasten your stockings

• Thigh-highs to make your legs look smoother

• Fishnets to complete your seductive aesthetic

Looking for different styles of fishnets? Check out Roanyer’s fishnets.

4. Corsets & Waist Cinchers

Crossdressers thirst for that hourglass female shape. The fastest way to get that silhouette? Corsets and waist cinchers!

There’s nothing quite like the way these mold your body. They can pull you in, smooth everything out, and give you that classic Gibson Girl bod.

Now, there are a few types to choose from.

• Overbust corsets cover the chest and are perfect for pairing with cute skirts or dresses.

• Underbust corsets stop right below the bust — great for layering! They also make your bosoms pop out more.

• If you’re more into casual wear but still want that snatched waist, waist trainers are your best friends.

Want an easier way to enhance that waist-to-hip ratio? Roanyer’s hip-enhancing pants are here to the rescue!

5. Shapewear & Body Shapers

Shapewear and body shapers shape more of your body. Versus corsets and waist cinchers that are focused on the torso area, shapewear can cover your chest to ankle, depending on the design. They’re perfect for smooth, seamless lines.

There are so many options to choose from, with control briefs being one of the most popular. They’re great for taming the tummy area.

But if you want a whole-body tuck, say hello to Roanyer’s bodysuits!

6. Babydolls & Teddies

Babydolls and teddies are night clothes that scream fun and flirty. With these on, any crossdresser can be sultry or cutesy while staying comfy.

Babydolls are light and flowy — perfect if you want to feel like you’re in a romantic movie. Teddies, on the other hand, are more on the snug and daring side.

For MTF crossdressers, babydolls and teddies are fantastic for that extra touch of femininity. They’re easy to wear, flattering, and oh-so-fun to twirl around in.

Choosing Lingerie That Suits Your Crossdressing Style

Your lingerie should match you. Figuring out what works for you makes the experience so much better. So, let’s talk about how to choose lingerie that truly suits your crossdressing style.

Personal Style & Preferences

Go and ask yourself: “What look am I going for?”

• Do you want to feel sexy or fierce? Go lace and sheer fabrics.

• Do you want to be cute and playful? Get pastel-colored boyshorts or lettuce-trim panties.

• Do you want to be girly but low-key? Stick to simple designs in neutral shades.

Your crossdressing style is an extension of you. Lean into whatever makes you feel fab!

What Works for Different Body Types

Not all lingerie will flatter your body type. This is true for every crossdresser. The best thing you can do? Choose nightwear that complements your figure.

• Slim? Go for pieces that add volume, like padded bras or ruffled panties.

• Curvy? Shapewear or corsets will highlight those curves while giving you extra support.

Not sure what’ll work for your body type? I’ve found that high-waisted panties are a universal fave!

Skin Tone Considerations

Your lingerie’s color can drown or make your skin tone shine, too!

• Lighter skin tones often look stunning in darker, rich colors. Ex: Burgundy, navy, mauveine

• Medium or tan complexions are great with jewel tones and pastels. Ex: Amethyst purple, emerald green, citrine yellow

• Darker skin tones absolutely glow in lighter shades. Ex: White, nude, bright colors

And don’t forget about the fabric! Silk and lace reflect light in a way that enhances any skin tone.

Everyday vs. Special Occasions

Think of the when and where of your lingerie.

• If you plan to use them regularly, they should be comfy and practical. Think seamless bras, breathable fabrics, and easy-to-wear designs.

• Special occasions? That’s where you go all out — lace, garter belts, stockings, the works. If you’re prepping for a photo shoot or a night out, this is the time to show off.

Care and Maintenance of Your Lingerie

Premium pieces of lingerie don’t come cheap! Specially when you buy lingerie that feels good on the skin, keeping them in tip top shape is a must!

Washing Tips

Always check the care label first — it’s there for a reason.

• Most lingerie should be hand-washed with a mild detergent in cool water. Just fill a sink, swish your pieces around gently, and let them soak for about 10 minutes.

• If you’re short on time or impatient (like me), use a laundry bag for machine washing on a delicate cycle. Note that you should only do this if the label says it’s safe!

Never, ever wring out your lingerie! Use a towel to pat it dry. Then, lay it flat to air dry.

Storage Tips

Storing lingerie will depend on the specific item. For instance:

• Lay down your bras in a drawer (not folded) to keep their shape.

• You can fold panties neatly or keep them in dividers for easy access.

• Keep lace and silk pieces separate from items that might snag them — like zippers or jewelry.

Repair and Care

Small tears or loose threads don’t mean you have to toss your favorite pieces.

• For minor fixes, I use a needle and matching thread to carefully sew up tears.

• If lace starts to fray, clear nail polish can stop it from unraveling further.

• Got elastic that’s losing its stretch; sometimes a quick adjustment or reinforcement can breathe new life into your lingerie.

Where to Buy Crossdresser Lingerie

There are no low supplies of lingerie, both online and in-store. Here’s where I’ve had the best luck finding amazing lingerie:

Online Stores

Online shopping is a dream for crossdressers — it’s discreet, convenient, and there’s a huge selection.

Reputable sites like Roanyer specialize in lingerie for crossdressers and offer amazing products tailored for any Mister to Miss. Other stores like Victoria’s Secret and Amazon also have great options.

Local Options

If you enjoy the experience of shopping in person, lingerie stores and department stores are a good choice.

Look for shops with knowledgeable (and hopefully open-minded) staff who can help you find the right fit.

I’ve found smaller boutiques to be more welcoming to crossdressers. They’re also less overwhelming than big chain stores. Thrift stores are hidden gems if you know where to look! There are lots of unique pieces waiting for you at a bargain.

FAQs About Crossdresser Lingerie

How can I choose the best bra for my crossdressing body?

Picking the right bra is all about knowing your body and what you want to achieve. First, you’ve got to know your chest size. Measure yourself, then choose:

• Padded bras are beginner-friendly and cheap. They create a fuller look.

• If you’re using breast forms, go for pocket bras. They hold the forms in place.

• Underwire bras are also great for a little extra lift and shape, especially if you’re going for a natural silhouette.

What type of shapewear should I wear for a smooth look?

If you want that sleek, feminine silhouette, shapewear is your best friend. There are many to choose from:

• High-waisted tummy control briefs smooth out your tummy.

• A corset or waist cincher will get you that hourglass shape.

• Thigh shapers smooth out your legs under dresses or skirts.

Pro tip: Invest in high-quality pieces — they’re more comfortable and do a better job.

How do I choose the right lingerie for my skin tone?

Picking lingerie that complements your skin tone is easier than it sounds.

• Light or fair-skinned: Dark, bold colors (navy, dark green, brown)

• Medium and tan tones: Jewel colors (sapphire, emerald, amethyst)

• Dark tones: Light shades (white, nude, and even pastels)

When in doubt, go for black — you can never go wrong with black.

Why is lingerie important for a crossdresser’s confidence?

The answer to this will vary on the crossdresser you ask.

For me, lingerie is more than just clothing — it’s a form of self-expression. It’s about feeling comfortable and connected with my feminine side. Slipping into a lace bra or a silky teddy instantly boosts my mood.

The right lingerie can make crossdresser feel sexy, powerful, and confident. It can also be for the crossdresser, a partner, or anyone at all.
