Sleeping in my bra

So why am I going to sleep wearing my bra?
Actually, it’s not so much about the going to sleep wearing it, it is more about the waking up. Which is why I choose a padded bra for overnight.

Dreams come true?

It is my greatest dream to be a girl. 
Imagine if I could go to bed as a man, make a wish, and wake up as a woman. 
Just thinking about that makes me smile. 
So what does that have to do with sleeping in a padded bra?

It’s that moment when you are just waking up and are not fully awake. Just for a moment, it is like my dream has come true. I’m aware of the shape, maybe my arm brushes the padded cups when I turn over and it’s as if I have woken up with breasts. Open my eyes and look down and there they are.

Except then I wake up properly and they aren’t. The cups are empty and because they’re very padded with a gel filling, there’s no sense of touch through them either and I very quickly remember I’m not an actual girl and it was just a dream.

On the plus side, overnight is the longest time I’ve ever worn a bra and it is really comfortable. The chest band isn’t tight and moves gently with my breathing, the shoulder straps have not cut in and the underwire hasn’t dug in either. Perfect fit! It goes to show that going for a bra fitting and getting properly measured for a bra that fits is worth it.

5 May 25 - living a lie

I’m wearing a soft crop top and Brazilian knickers under my male clothes today and it’s the first time   I’ve done so since my wife found out about my underwear.   I did wear some knickers last weekend for a day, which was nice but this is the first time I have had the crop top too.  Considering that I was wearing the underwear full time and the crop tops every weekday evening and all weekends for the previous month, this has been a big gap.  I have really been craving the feeling of a bra or crop top. That stretchy tightness of the band around my chest and the straps over my shoulders. It is such a relief to have one on now.  Because I’m a bit scared about getting caught out again I have only worn the soft crop top as that is least visible under my clothes. The more structured crop top has bra straps which are a bit more noticeable so although I really want to wear that, it felt a bit too risky.  This is so rubbish that I have to hide who I really am ...

23 Sep 2025 - a handbag?

I have not been out presenting female in public for about six months which is a long time.   The last time was my trip to London when I went out to the bar and dinner, which felt great, and to breakfast in the hotel which was less successful. At that time, I felt confident and like I could do this.   Following my wife catching me out with some of my underwear, I cut my hair, put away my clothes and didn’t do anything for a while. It seems my confidence got lost in that too, because when I started thinking about going out dressed again, I felt really nervous about it.  Probably doesn’t help that the anti-trans lobby had successes during this time and it feels a less safe thing to be doing now than it did six months ago.  Whatever the reason, I was pretty scared this time.  The biggest mental hurdle is around changing from male to female clothing, as I have to leave the office and arrive at the mall in male clothing, then be back in male clothing to go home so...

4 Mar 25 - first time out at a queer bar

I can’t believe I’m doing this but I have left the hotel in a dress and full makeup and walked half an hour through central London to Soho and my first ever queer bar, She Soho, a lesbian bar and man-free zone. Unfortunately no mobile reception to share with friends. Have logged on to the wifi but that doesn’t work. Ok, so how do I feel? Lonely!  There are two groups of friends and a couple.  The chat is pretty loud and I’m sitting by myself which is a bit tragic.  But, the point is, I am out in public as openly dressed and made up as I have ever been. That on its own is awesome!  I have never done this before! To be fair to myself, if I was in a normal bar and dressed as a man, I wouldn’t be talking to anyone either, so maybe that is not something I should be stressing about. Why would I imagine that being in a dress is suddenly going to make me capable of socialising and speaking with strangers?   The music is pretty cool. The beer isn’t that good, and really ...
