Thought I would ask if any of you have done any dressing for hiking.
I am planning a day hike this coming weekend, and plan to wear my forms and a woman’s athletic t-shirt. Combined with my pack straps, I suspect it will be quite obvious that I have a good set of boobs (38D).

So I'm interesting in any experience any of you may have had. Will I experience extra heat? How about any meetings you might have had on the trail and any comment made. Should I have some ready made replies in case someone mentions my boobs?

You may remember I wore them skiing all winter, but of course layers of clothes did a good job of hiding them. Now, with only a t-shirt which will get wet with sweat, there will be no hiding under layers of cloths.

Any info or suggestions will be appreciated.

I'm curious. There seems to be some contradiction. Why would you put on size D boobs and then say in the next breath that you would not be able to hide them like you did while skiing. If you want them to be inconspicuous (not draw undue attention) and only for you to feel, why not wear a size that is closer to natural?

A D cup is pretty natural on my body. Generous, but natural.
But thats not the intention of my post.
Thanks

I have gone on a couple of night time winter walks and one day hike with little AA inserts and found that they collected a lot of sweat and held in the heat more than I was used to. No comments since it was basically underdressing and no one would notice although I chose secluded locations anyway. And this time of year (summer) I usually hike barechested anyway because of the heat and would probably tear off the shirt, bra and inserts as soon as possible.

I don't really go out dressed publicly but if I was to try this personally I might try something else like a skirt which could take advantage of a breathable aspect of womens clothing that men don't have. But then you never see women wearing skirts on the trails so there must be a reason. How about a little light camisole with nothing else and wait for cooler weather to wear sweatier clothes?

I do have to say though that hiking en femme sounds absolutely delightful and it can't be too much stranger than the guy I met in the Presidentials (New Hampshire) who was keeping his clothes dry in the pouring rain by wearing nothing at all except socks and boots.

I guess it would also depend on where you are hiking. Serious hikers will usually take a lot in stride especially if they thought it increased your hiking stamina or something-who knows you could start a trend. Womens panties being lighter and not collecting sweat the way mens heavy cotton ones do or something. But if you are hiking in an area where adolescent boys go to party in the woods that might be a very different story. Maybe go on a trail you are familiar with and are familiar with the kind of folks you might meet?

In any event please let us know how it goes and I would be interested in where you go also in case I get up to that area sometime

Hi Susann,

I haven't ever done any dressing and hiking. I did once have on forms once and had to shovel the driveway. It was one miserable event for me.

I think you'll still derive a bit of freedom from expressing yourself, but the comfort level of sweaty forms sliding up and down and around may be a bit annoying. Maybe a sports bra would help? I was wearing size Cs.

Good luck and have fun!

Hi Susann

I'm with Beaty on this one. I've shoveled snow in the winter and worked in the yard in the spring, and the forms become damp and not comfortable for me, so I don't do that anymore. Of course I had a coat on in the winter and a full shirt in the spring, so a tank or halter top may help.

Just my 2-cents.

Hugs,
Cindy

Beauty & cindy, I guess I will bring along provisions to remove the forms, just in case they get too uncomfortable. But, whsat do GGs do?

Andria; I will be hiking in the White Mts, specifically Mt Moosilauke, a loop I have not done before (member of NH 4000 footers).

GGs usually sweat, develop rashes, and remain uncomfortable. I would say be happy you can remove them if you feel like it.

Susann,
Two things: One :BE CAREFUL!!!!
Two: Do have a nice smile and several witty remarks ready!
Love,
Virginia

Moosilauke is supposed to have some of the prettiest views in all the White Mountains from what I have read. I haven't hiked it yet though. I was going to a couple of years ago but hurt my leg the day before on Mt Willie and that was the end of the hiking that vacation. I've done about half of the 4000 footers

I have always found folks in the Whites to be pretty easy going. And of course their other name, the Wet Mountains, is well deserved and maybe everything will be concealed under raingear anyways, although in summer I often just wear some rain shorts over my hiking shorts and leave it at that until I am above treeline.

Have fun. Post pictures!

I went out last evening and bought a hi-tech t-shirt to try on this hike. It's very formfitting, and my chest is going to be obvious. I have decided to just go with the flow. If asked, I will claim a condition (and you know they can never fix a condition).

I completed the 4000 footers in 1979, doing 39 of then that year. All without sleeping overnight, so there were some long hikes (longest 17 Miles, Zeland and the Bonds). All this with wife and son who had not turned 8 yet. (he's now a Major in USMC, wonder where he got that dicipline?)

Thanks for all the help.

Champion has a bra that is designed to "wick" away moisture. It is sort of like a combo sports bra and regular bra... a regular bra made for sports activity...

Hi Robyn,

It's great to see your wonderful smile again. I have several of those Champion sports bras and they do work well. I no longer wear forms, but I do sometimes put in enhancers. They are place on the bottom of the breast area.

Again, it's great to see you back.

Beauty

Thanks for the tip, Robyn.
I do like the bra I have, as the cups are just a little on the large size for my forms and allows a nice jiggle.
It's going to be a fun hike. Will tell all on Tuesday.
Huggs to all
Susann

I have gone on many hikes en femme. Here are some of my observations:

1. The make up is the hardest part, because it makes it difficult for your face to perspire. I learned to wear very little, just foundation and beard cover.

2. The bra and breast extenders aren't bad. Even better is there are some rather stiff padded bras that you can do without forms.

3. Wear a skirt? Why not! I frequently hike in a short cotton skirt. You don't want to fall or sit down where a lot of people can see, but other than that, it's very cool.

Enjoy!
