Self Care for Transwomen

┍━━━━━━━━»•» :cherry_blossom: «•«━┑

Welcome Back

It is I...the Softest Satan you'll ever meet

If you have read my previous blogs you will see I created one for us Transguys out there and if you haven't seen it then you can read it here Self Care For Transguys

To make it fair I've decided to turn this into a mini series where I will post a different category each time!

Like us Transdudes our lovely Transwomen face a lot of difficulties in the modern world, despite an overall percentage of Transwomen being higher than transmen, they still face a lot of backlash. Through that the dsyphoria is still the same. Some ideology may be similar as before but I hope this can help you lovely ladies out there

Please note. Some items in this list some may deem inappropriate, however these are listed as they are genuine items used and it is for educational purposes

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Shaving Items

There are plenty of items out there but go out and treat yourself with some new shaving items, whether that be the razor or cream or however you wish to do it, it can bring out a more feminine side and some work better than others, to moisturize after and take your time with it!

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Makeup

Makeup used to be worn by anyone hundreds of years ago so why should now be any different you have access to hundreds of different brands and be proud to get makeup, learn how to do it and what items to use, get your skin tone tested for the right foundation, play around with lipsticks and mascaras. No one is amazing right away but it's the first steps on a great path!

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Wigs / extensions

Some may struggle with wanting to grow their hair out so why not try it out first with something that you may not regret, growing hair can take a long time and it takes a lot of patience, these can be your best friends. Given you know or learn how to wear them and the right hairnets etc, which you can find on YouTube, these are also good for those still in the closet because you can just take it off if unfortunately you need too. This can also help what kind of hairstyle you'd like as the possibilities are endless

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Bath Bombs

Like before, if you read my previous bath bombs can be an amazing thing because the options are also endless, you can get some very feminine ones or again go for more a gender neutral one, there are many options. Whether you like lavender, rosemary, jasmine etc

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Hygiene Products

Like before this applies to those who would want more feminine products, and still more gender neutral ones. There can be many like dove, Nivia, sure but if you want to go all out then go for it. Like this creams can really bring out a feminine fragrance that you're trying to achieve, Shea Butter is also something I recommend.

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Clothing

This ranges from whatever you'd like, from a simple shirt to wearing jeans. Jeans are a safe option as men's and women's aren't that different so you can wear women's jeans and get away with it. Same with more feminine hoodies and sweatshirts have a more feminine touch. Or you can go all out with a new skirt, new dress or shoes even if you want to really treat yourself or your partner because being comfortable in your own clothing helps so much

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Chest Plate

Now on the opposite scale to binders a chest plate is available for Transwomen and is also often used by drag queens to give you a feminine figure before you have your own surgery, they come in various sizes to compensate your needs. Please to get sized properly and if needed use creams to help any chaffing or rashes that can be caused by these

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Tucking Underwear

Like I see Transguys post about, they have the option of STPs and packers to help their bottom dsyphoria. Well you can have the opposite and this is also available to give you a more feminine figure, they are available from most places but I would probably get something from a proper trusted site even if it costs more, your physical health is important and if this is not thought of, there can be repercussions.

Try not to wear this for too long in a day either. Like wearing a binder it can cause some aches and pains, especially if you're not used to it. Try and take regular breaks. Always do your research and get sized properly

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Face Masks

Face masks although available and used by all genders + non conforming genders. These can make a major difference in your skin care and overall as they can help relieve stress when you get home and want to relax, you can just put it on and leave it, enjoy a drink and let go of the day. Again you can get more feminine ones or gender neutral, depending on your skin type! Try it out and see what works best

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Perfume

Perfume again can be a make or break when going out or even staying at home. Pick out some nice brands like Coco Chanel if you want to go all out and Marc Jacobs. Try having a mix of ones that you like. Perfumes like Joop is gender neutral and so is Tom Ford (this is expensive) but play around and of course it's perfect for starting a collection!

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Essential Oils

Essential Oils are something to help your room or house smell however you'd like and some have natural calming agents there, popular ones are lavender that is often a feminine smell and others like Jasmine, Tea Tree and more can be used around the home that just give it a calming essence

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Candles / wax melts

Candles are great to come home too and you want to relax with a face mask, music in the background and candle lights instead of blaring lights that'd you'd normally have, plus these make great home decorations. From personal experience wax melts are so much better and give off a stronger scent around the room for hours of burn time

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Nail kit

Health comes to everything and that includes your nails, whether you are new or a veteran who doesn't like having pampered nails. Grab a kit and go through the motions of filing, buffing and painting them because you can pretty much get any colour to match any outfit and no one is going to judge you, nice nails always finish off a look and even if it's like the French nails, the effort still pays off!

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Sweets, treats, snacks

Dysphoria hits us all and in that time comfort may be what we need, so sweets, treats and snacks come in for those tough days where you don't want to do anything and then you can still manage something light to eat or drink whilst getting through this tough time. You're still perfect!

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Hair Products / treatment

Like men can get wax there are many hair care agents for women and Transwomen that can promote growth and protection, when using hairdryers, straighteners and curling irons, whichever you use. Basic things like heat treatment and growth protection can make a huge difference when looking after your hair no matter what stage you are!

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

Accessories and Jewelry

These can also make a huge difference between earrings, necklaces and rings anything adding to your outfit can be flashy or really discreet depending which way you want to go with it, pin badges also make a difference. However you want to do it, it adds to whether you want to be flashy with your nails and makeup or quiet at home.

That's all I have for you this week. Again I could keep adding things but the list would go on. I've tried to make it different to my last one on purpose but that doesn't mean they can't cross over and use items from both lists!

I hope you lovely ladies find this helpful! Stay sassy, stay classy and slay that runway. You are loved!

Until next time
