Honestly, can any trans women weigh in? Which one is more annoying? As a cis man, I honestly think boob sweat sounds way worse.
I've never even noticed ball sweat while boob sweat is a frequent annoyance. So easily think boob sweat is worse. I tuck now and so it's not like I'm wearing underwear+bottoms that allow lots of airflow to the balls either.
Does ball sweat lead to yeast infections? Because as a well-endowed woman, that's my biggest concern when I'm in a sweaty bra for hours a day.
I have to hand-wash my bras every night in the summer, lest I get painful sores in my underboob. :(
i solved that problem by just saying fuck it and not wearing bras :3
That would be a terrible idea for me in so many ways. π But you rock on, sister!
Not generally, but it can. :/
Yeah, my mom was "blessed" by the boob fairy, and she fought that nightmare. Poor lady. But you always knew who to turn to if you needed some Nystatin powder lol
I don't have them anymore and also maybe I was more averse to ball sweat because I was dysphoric, but I think boob sweat is easier and more socially acceptable to wipe it away.
Yeah, that's my experience. You can more discretely deal with boob sweat, while dealing with ball sweat feels awful
Boob sweat is affirming, even if my bras get soggy for hours and really stink after a while. Ball sweat is way more disgusting and majorly dysphoria inducing. Just my experience.
i dont mind either because they smell good ngl
Totally privacy invading kind of question you can completely ignore if it's not welcome. But now I wonder, does your body odor change after starting HRT?
yes it does! I don't know how to describe it but sweat smells more feminine.
and there's actually some good research out there on how the genitals begin to smell more like a vagina, which is very interesting. hrt is magic
Pretty sure mine did a bit, but I don't think I could really describe the difference in words very well tbh. I'll check to see what my wife says and report back π«‘
Edit: she said "You don't stink as much lol" π« thanks babe lmao
Since we're asking private questions, did you get married before transitioning? Really curious how your partner took it.
My wife's never really identified as female so I'm cool with it, just wondering what other people's experiences are, please ignore if uncomfortable!
Yeah we were married for three years when my egg cracked. She's bisexual which helped. But when I told her, she said "I knew it, I told you so" ...and she had told me so.
A few times before my egg cracked she had just straight up told me that if I was a trans woman, she'd still love me and stay with me. I always brushed it off tho cuz I was going through the process of learning and accepting that I'm bisexual. Which was a (comparatively) easy process, but I always just assumed when I acted feminine that it was somehow because I was bi... So some internalized homophobia/biphobia mixed with cognitive dissonance π
Now that is a beautiful love story. β₯οΈ
ye it does a lot, I used tohate it before starting hrt
It very much does! I've been on HRT for 20 months, and I don't stink when I sweat anymore (haven't since month 2ish). I just have an odor that's best described as feminine.
And genital area sweat/moisture is a different texture and smells like pussy (because my genitals are doing their best to be one).
LIFEHACK: i don't get boob sweat because i don't wear bras! :3
I don't wear bras either, but I'm like a j or k cup and that's. Still so much sweat my tits just slide around on my chest/stomach?
