Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

About sleeping... (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Womensstuff is a trans+ inclusive women's only community.

Not sure where to ask this but I've been enjoying my transition a lot, even with the period included (not the nicest but still affirming).

That said, I've noticed a mild issue: sleeping position. My boobs are now getting in the way of sleeping fully on the side.

Currently, the "solution" I've gotten is to basically sleep in a fetal position halfway inbetween that of "on stomach" and "on side", with my arms in an L shape under the ergonomic head pillow. It's not perfect, but it's better than sleeping normally on the side, which sadly is a little difficult now.

I figured I'd ask other gals about here. Do you lot have any tips on this?

And do clothes help differently? Like I see sleeping skirts and pajamas, but I heat up easily and I'm not so quite sure if they'd help.

So I’m a B cup and often sleep fully on the side. I can see how it might be uncomfortable at first, but of course it doesn’t bother me because I’m used to it. Maybe C+ cup ladies might feel differently about sleeping on the side.😅

One suggestion is to try and train yourself to fall asleep on your back. Wedge some pillows around you so you don’t roll over in your sleep.

I sleep in a shirt and shorts during hot months and sweatshirt/sweatpants during winter. I get cold easily lol. There’s nothing wrong with sleeping naked or in just your underwear though!

I have g cups and sleep on my side, or my stomach. I tend to get annoyed at the way my chest arranges itself if I sleep on my back lol
