It's time Sindy asked a question, don't you all think? :-D
What was your (or your partners) first female item that you/they tried on? Is this item still popular or has it been phased out?
For my hubby, or what he has told me, it was distinct features of the girl school uniform, and the pantihose the teacher wore. So fetishy now I think of these items, and nowadays these are not so commonly worn.
Lingerie is definitely mu trigger and stockings
I love seeing women in black tights or stockings and heels and I love sexy black silky lacy lingerie and I wish my wife would wear these items more often but she wont so I do lol.
The very first time I remember wearing anything made for girls was my sisters nightie. We were messing around and decided to swop clothes. I remember enjoying the feeling and freedom it gave.
After that the next big impression was walking through the department store lingerie section. There was also the Littlewood catalogue which was accessible pornography for a young boy!
The first item on my crossdressing journey was a pair on knicker. It was a specific pair and more to do the texture of the material and the little bit of lace. Others just wouldn't do. From there it just developed.
It was silky lacy items of clothing for me my mother telling me off as we walked through Marks and Spencers lingerie sections touching the lingerie and remember falling asleep on my parents bed wrapped in something silky loving the feel when I was very little then like Rebeccas husband wearing tights as Batman or Superman and loving the feel and still have a thing now for black tights in particular or even better black lace topped stockings whihc women dont seem to want to wear but Crossdressers love with high heels.
My husband reads Davinas blog and this forum but I've not let him join as it's my space to gain comfort from our correspondence.
However I asked him what the first item was and he said it was a pair of tights / pantyhose he put on (black ones) when he used to pretend to be Batman when he was about 6 and he still has a thing for tights and more so stockings today.
He is appreciative of my legs moreso when wear tights with a dress and heels than when in a summer maxi dress and flip flops would rather me in tights or on the rare occasion stockings than bare legs.
So its tights which started him off and he still wears them and holds them as one reason for liking dressing.
