I've got everything ordered and on its way for me to begin my experimenting with coming up with my exact recipe.
I also ordered some new underwear...
One of the biggest problems I have due to being TS and genetically and anatomically still male is with getting underwear that can actually hold me in a good tuck. Due to my somewhat unusual shape male shaped underwear just doesn't have a wide enough crotch to to completely cover me. Somehow I have a very decidedly feminine pelvic structure, at least, internal. And the things known as "gaffs" which are made to be strong enough to hold male equipment into flat mound that looks somewhat more feminine (at least the male bulge is gone) are of course designed for a male pelvis.
What I've been doing is wearing a pair of regular panties and then a gaff over it for the strength. It works. Sort of. I still slip free of the gaff part and then wind up with a nasty SIDE bulge if I start to work too strenuously and contort myself to the fullest of my flexibility...
So I've been DESPERATELY searching for a better option. ANYTHING. And for a while, in the winter, I'd wear a body shaper over my panties instead of the gaff. PERFECT! Small problem though. If you've ever worn a shaper, you'll know those things get HOT. AND they wear out VERY fast. So it was back to the never ending hunt for a better solution...
During this time both my panties and my gaffs have been slowly wearing out... And now I'm having more and more problems with them... They barely hold me at all anymore honestly. Even just "regular" levels of activity are enough to cause slippage and I have to frequently go into a restroom stall and readjust...
Well. I was looking around yet AGAIN for my options this morning and came across these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BJ5O2JA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I REALLY would have preferred them in XS, but small SHOULD work. Especially once I start putting weight back on and my hips hopefully aren't near so bony
I may even eventually grow into a medium! Hehe.
So yeah. I ordered 2 packs of those in small and I can't wait for them to get here so I can find out if they work out the way I'm expecting.
My existing underwear is cotton for the panties and gaffs are always made of nylon. Everyone knows spandex is even stronger than nylon... So 100% spandex with an extra panel of 100% spandex in the gusset... Absolutely no cotton at all. No nylon either. And NO POLYESTER! Do you have any idea just how much so-called "spandex" is blended with polyester? Almost all of it! And polyester is absolutely HORRIBLE. It doesn't have ANY strength to it and breaks down super rapidly. The only reason I can think of for them to blend it with spandex is cost. Polyester is cheap. Spandex is not. Certain polyester formulas a "stretchy" like spandex - at first. But they lose their stretch and start conforming to whatever they're SUPPOSED to be tightening down... Spandex NEVER loses it's stretch.
So these should give a VERY firm, VERY comfortable hold, without ANY slipping problems. And they're slimline bikini style and comes with white, black, and nude pairs, so they'll work with any outfit, allowing me to further expand my presently VERY limited wardrobe.
They should also last me forever if I treat them right. Spandex is just one of those materials.
So. Hopefully they're everything I'm expecting them to be. I'm getting quite sick of trying to keep my current underwear from completely failing.
