Told clerk I was buying panties for myself

In the dress agency's I get fully dressed with lingerie, stockings and heels, they don't care and even give me advise on what looks good and what doesn't. I love shopping for feminine clothes. xx

Are the assistants usually female or male?

I like to see movie scenes where a lady assistant helps out in a friendly and understanding manner. They probably understand that imitation is a sincere form of flattery.

Being a plus sized gurl, I’ve done a lot of shopping in Lane Bryant stores. I got a proper bra fitting one afternoon and ended up buying three bras that day. I often went in to other LB stores, in both men’s and women’s dress. I would try on many dresses, skirts and blouses, and shoes if they would have heels in my size. The sales associates were always fantastic to work with.

There seem to be two general types of accounts about males buying lingerie in stores.

One, like yours where all the sales people are helpful, friendly, thoughtful and polite.

And the other type is where younger, not yet fully 'formed' crossdressers are caught by someone older and then taken to a store and sort of 'outed' in front of customers or salespeople and made to try on and buy their own female attire. An experience which many write about as being horrible.

I really wonder if salespeople are any less helpful and friendly in this situation though.

My experience has generally been very positive in multiple Lane Bryant, Catherine’s and Avenue stores. Without asking sales associates for their id’s for ages, I’d say that the vast majority have been in 20’s and 30’s. I remember the one SA that while opening a dressing room for me, asked me my feminine name, addressed me as such, helped locate a dress in another size for me and remembered my name on subsequent visits.

God bless all the ladies who at least tolerated a man in their domain.

I was exploring my feelings about taking a feminine role. I talked with my girl friend. She said "let's try".

We went to Liverpool (a Mexican department store). I looked at womens lingerie diffently than I ever had before. She picked out two delightful lace pink and red panties for me. I don't know that the clerk thought when we bought in XL! My GF is very petite!

She loves me to wear one when we start a love making session!

I often wear the pink one under my suit or jeans!

I have done this in JC Penney's, explicitly telling the sales lady they were for me. She went out of her way to find stuff in my size and desired fabric and colors. I purposely went back, sought that lady, and she remembered my 'preferences'. I bought several items.

I did it in a Victoria's Secret and asked for a proper bra fitting, and bought 2 bras that day. The sales lady was professional, courteous and took good care to protect my dignity, and did a great job.

When I was thinking and planning to cross dress. I first went to a dept store and bought make up, which I later found out was the wrong colors for my skin tone. There is a bulk Goodwill store near me. So I went there and went through the bins found several different size bras and skirts in different lengths. I have even went to adult store bought several pairs of g strings.

I have often thought about going to a wall mart going to the make up counter and asking for help in finding the right colors of make up for me and my skin tone but am so so nervous.

Go to a Sephora store,, they advertised as being trans friendly.

I would love to wear panties myself, and it’s good to know Sephora and Victoria’s Secret might be good places for me to shop.

It needn't be an expensive place. I don't know about the US, but here in Spain there are 'Euro Stores' or 'Chino Basars' that sell just about anything you can think of for rock bottom prices. You can combine with shopping for regular household items you will need anyway or just buy whatever you want because no one cares. They are mostly run by Chinese people and they don't seem care one way or the other what a person buys.

And it's cheap in those stores too.

I when you Sephora to get foundation once and I needed it matched to me. It was crazy and the sales girl ended up convincing me to let her do my full face while I sat in front the store window

We Me and my wife go shopping for panties and other lingerie together she will always make sure she tells the person helping us that the panties or lingerie is for me . The expression on the women usually is a big smile.

Sure. Imitation is a form of flattery. If a man wants to look more lady-like or feminine, surely that is a compliment to woman-kind.

@Luscious_Liza Oh how I would love to watch your shopping trip from the other side of the store. Observing the behaviors and mannerisms of you, your wife, and the clerk. The delicate dance of respectable retail shopping, all circling around your special need for intimate apparel. Quite exciting for all, each in a different way. I hope you leave as a satisfied customer.

I buy most of my panties online, although I once bought a 3 pack of panties at an Old Navy store! I was buying a whole lot of other male clothes and the clerk that checked me out did not seem surprised.

When I first started buying panties in lingerie departments at brick and mortar stores like JC Penney, I think it was pretty obvious to the clerks that I was nervous and maybe buying for myself.

One stood out though, and when I brought what I wanted to buy up to the register, she asked which types I liked the best and even gave me a little card that I could use for a free pair of panties for every 10 pairs I purchased. She gave me a knowing smile, and said come back again soon. And yes, I did get that free pair after a while.
