Yesterday I took the final step and dumped every item of male underwear I own into a bin bag, all except that is for a couple of red lacy numbers from Kiniki which are actually quite feminine and which would raise many eyebrows in a rugby team's dressing room - good job I don't play sport really! There's no going back now, I have no safety net. Even for work, where I need no distractions, I have bought some simple plain soft stretchy Sloggi thongs.
Why have I made this change? The reasons are various, I think.
Firstly it is not mainly - or possibly at all - about humiliation. To label the wearing of female underwear as humiliating is to denigrate women themselves, as if these garments were a badge of inferiority.
What I do know I that men's underwear is crap. I have always struggled to find men's pants which are both supportive and comfortable. And from a design perspective they are terribly terribly dull. Women's underwear is so much more rich and decorative. Girls are so lucky!
There is an element of wearing feminine knickers which enhances the feeling of being weak and vulnerable which is so central to my submissiveness. However it is also a lot about wanting to feel pretty, delicately wrapped up for my Mistress like a present - hence my predilection for ribbons and flowers rather than satin and frills.
Whatever the reasons, since starting to shop for knickers on ebay I now realise that there must be an awful lot of men out there doing the same thing, so numerous are the adverts stressing anonymity and referring to 'cd' or 'sissy'!

Why not just admit it, you have a fetish for female underwear. Don't worry about it though, you would be surprised at how common it is. M&S would go bankrupt in a month if the only people that bought female underwear were females. Susan Williams | |

Good on you. Its often good to be decisive and make fundamental changes to the way you live, so you push yourself to a new level, in whatever form it takes. I do so agree with you on the underwear, the typical men's stuff has a thick wide and often quite tight band of elastic at the top, which is extremely uncomfortable, and the design is not in my view a 'design' but a sort of quick cover-up job. However, we're all different and have different ideas of what is comfortable and what isn't, and different ideas of how we want our bodies treated. There used to be a really good mens underwear shop on the Strand some years ago, and it had really great stretchy fabrics and a wide range of colours and cuts and materials, and I used to get all mine there. Sadly that has gone and its been a while since I found somewhere similar I could see what I was buying before I ordered it. I quite like some of the Kiniki stuff, hadn't seen that before. How you feel when you wear nice underwear is obviously individual too, for me its exciting and very sensual, and boosts my general self confidence rather than feeling submissive, but I can understand the link.
