My wife has always had them, i think she refers to them as venus dimples. I never did, but now that hrt is doing its thing, I've got some very faint ones. Only reason I noticed them is because I spend so much time looking at my own butt, which, I'm supremely thankful for, has always been asstounding, and it's only getting better! When I started wearing leggings, cis women all around me were getting mad ๐
That's nice! I'm really happy for you, lol
It's good to be proud of your own butt ๐คฃ
Jealous of your legging-wearing tho. I couldn't, not until I'm post-op at least. Gives me so much dysphoria ๐
Learning to tuck was huge for being comfortable in leggings. I don't really wear loose bottoms unless it's a skirt anymore, so I'll usually tucked unless I have a long top on that covers my groin
I'll be real honest...I don't tuck and I'm not really interested in learning.
I don't touch it unless I have to. I prefer not to even think about it. I know that doesn't make sense, since tucking is meant to minimize it, but I just really don't want to even acknowledge it...
It's not difficult once you get used to the process and how it feels. I tuck pretty much every waking second as I have really bad bottom dysphoria. I learned from a wikihow lol and my tip is to wear two pairs of snug panties with a sturdy elastic waistband. I never use tape or a gaff and I am perfectly fine going out in leggings or booty shorts.
Quick addition: outside of the times when I use the bathroom and have to retuck, I can mostly forget that it's there. If I'm not tucked, I am hyperaware that it exists all the time.
I should really learn...
I even have the tape for it
I'm a bit worried about using the bathroom, but I'll probably learn how to deal with that in the process. Thanks for the encouragement ๐
That is perfectly fair. Thank god for skirts!
Skirts ๐ค
Skirts indeed! Preach ๐
