I've been on HRT since January 15th, 2024, but I started wearing my LeoLines before HRT. I am also very much a "grower", but I've never really had problems with stuff moving around in my LeoLines. It's a compression garment, so it keeps things in place pretty well, and the added padding helps smooth things out underneath so it looks smooth. The only problems I had before with moving around were mostly due to spontaneous events, which no longer happen to me on HRT (thankfully; that was the worst). I ofc can't guarantee that it will work for everyone, but they worked beautifully for me. I just recommend going the breifs option instead of bikini, bc its easier to keep things in place, and when I sleep, I do move stuff back up bc I sweat a lot there if I don't and it gets uncomfortable.
Thank you so much for replying, I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable with the question or it's phrasing.
I'm glad to hear it should be better than what I currently have!
Oh don't worry, I'm fine talking abt it to help out another trans woman! Also, I had 0 problem whatsoever being asked if I were on HRT (I'm very happy about my journey with HRT, but I know it's a touchy subject for some folks). I will say to make sure you measure hips and such for sizing, and use the LeoLines sizing chart, as they aren't standard sizes (I'm usually a women's small, but was an extra small in LeoLines). And yeah, they're expensive. I forked out the money to buy 10 pairs, and the only regret I have is that 4 of them were bikini, and I definitely prefer the breifs. They're machine washable with delicates and hang dry. They've held up really well for the 2ish years I've had them!
Also, I will say that I had issues with it not lasting when I used regular panties (not LeoLines). Wearing 2 panties layered helped a bit, but I still had to readjust occasionally. LeoLines are set and forget for me. The only time anything comes untucked is when I either take them off (like when I have to use the restroom) or when I purposefully move stuff (like I do right before I sleep to give my stuff the time to not be sweaty lol)
Yeah, I know a couple women who don't like talking about their current situation, so I try to be respectful of others boundaries.
I took a quick look at their page and I like what I see, and it's not much more than I was expecting to spend honestly.
In the morning I will have to go do some measurements, I am woefully neglecting my sleep...
Thanks for the response!
Of course! Hope it goes well!!!
