So here I am, doing what every transgirl does on a Friday night: Looking for underwear that doesn't involve giving myself temporary bottom surgery to wear it. And I stumble across Rubies, touting itself to be 'no tuck underwear'. I didn't believe it. But when I saw nothing but 5 star reviews I chanced it and gave it a try.
One thing I noticed is a lot of reviews seem to be from parents who got their young daughter this underwear. Which is so lovely I wish my parents were cool like that. But I also know that 10 year old girls are not packing (no offense, I'm jealous). So I thought "Sure, this underwear works for young girls but will it work for me."
I'm sure you are also skeptical my dear reader, and if you are like me: a 6'2 girl with a, how to put it, "shower not a grower"... then you might be questioning how well these work yourself. Well from one 'endowed' madam to the next, it's f*cking incredible.
After putting on the underwear and adjusting it a bit to let the shapewear do it's job.... It vanished it. Straight up non-existenced my problem. It's a nearly flat surface now, and it's shaped in a way that looks more feminine. Straight up got that "Ken-doll" null bump.
And it's COMFORTABLE!!! Definitely more comfortable than lazy tucking in briefs. Probably more comfortable than any underwear I wore as a boy. And it Keeps. It. Put. No tape required. I can sit and stand and run and walk and jump and it stays snug and secured.
I have these pink short shorts from Ragstock that I got as more 'compression wear' for when I wear dresses to help with tucking. I feel naked in them alone, but now I can actually wear them around the house without being embarrassed. And when the wind blows my dresses into me, they don't leave an imprint for the world to see. I don't own any tighter dresses but now I'm really curious and want to try picking out some for myself. Rubies has given me the confidence to wear anything I want.
So please, if you're on the fence. Do it. It works. It's amazing. It's worth the price. I'm just coming back to buy 6 more of these for myself. I want you to feel the same gender euphoria I have when I tried these on. Do it now! Buy one! GO SISTER GO!
ps: and parents if you're buying for your daughter and you read through my adhd scrawl, thank you. And double thank you for taking care of your young girl. I didn't have the luxury that she did, and what you're doing means the world to her. Keep being amazing.
