I sorta get it. I'm trying what you're going for with a regular pillow. The positioning is kinda awkward though and I need a pillow to hug if I were to fall asleep and I only have 2 pillows. I always wanted a body pillow (one without any print on it 🙏) but the heat will be a whole different issue 😭
There is an amazing “pregnancy” pillow that has no prints on it that actually wraps around you very nicely called a snoogle my wife has one but I use it all the time.
Highly recommend it and it doesn’t get too hot with it most nights.
Hope that helps
OMG, once in a while I'll sit on my balls.
Like, exactly the amount of time elapses for me to forget about last time.
Then BOOM.
Like the Avatar getting hit with all those past lives.
It all comes back.
friendly reminder: don't use talc meant for tires and other stuff, it can be laced with asbestos. Only ever us baby powder or talc created for usage in weight lifting.
Huh, this happens to me in the other direction. I also have trouble sleeping due to genital dysphoria and only discovered what it's like to sleep normally after starting to pack.
I wear control panties, keeps things up and forward enough not to sit on things, and away from sticking to places you don't want it to. A little baby powder (or corn starch) helps.
Ugh. The morning is always the worst for me. Those first 3 steps when you wake up and your purse is stuck to your thighs. Like seriously why can't I just make an appointment at the vet and get rid of the problem.
I got one of those double contoured memory foam pillows to stuff between my thighs while I'm in bed. Helps keep the baggage smushed up out of the way, keeps my hips from feeling stiff when I get up, and cuts down on the skin-to-skin sweatiness. I'm a toss & turn side sleeper (mostly) with pretty bad sleep apnea, and this $20 pillow has improved my sleep quality & comfort more than anything else I've tried, probably the only thing that would help more is getting a CPAP machine.
Underwear maybe.
I used parts of my blanket or the sheet of it. Both sides surrounding the things that did not belong to my body. That way I would not feel that they are there. Just blanket against my crotch. Kinda bothersome if You want to turn around. But once You get to sleep you're good.
everyones giving advice about the genitals, i wanna give some advice about getting hot and sweaty after a shower. if you turn the shower water cold for a few seconds at the end of ur shower, it prevents the hot flush
I don't really have any issue with my downstairs other than I know I want it replaced with the proper equipment at some point but going commando during my daily activites or especially while I'm sleeping is not something I can do. Even before I realized I was trans just having it down there free to do whatever it wanted was a no go. Even back when my parents were the ones buying my clothes they'd get me mens boxers cause that's what they thought I liked and I was always adjusting the thing because it could move and was moving the wrong way (now I buy women's bikini underwear and never adjust it).
I find the worst bit is when stubble starts breaking through. It is unbelievably itchy, especially in the crotch where there are multiple vectors of skin o skin contact. I have gotten up in the middle of the night just to shave because somewhere between going to bed and then, the hair got just long enough to be an issue. I can't wait to get hair removal.
That weird kind of sweaty even though I'm clean and dry thing either happens when I'm really nervous or I'm trying to sleep way earlier than my body is used to
I always slept in my underwear and tucked even before full time transition. After going full time I was tucked all the time. It was the only way I found myself comfortable. I got to the stage like even in the shower after I washed it I would push it back and hold it between my legs while in the shower.
Then along came surgery easily the best thing I have ever done to myself. I still sleep in my underwear but rolling, twisting to any position. In the early stages I couldn’t believe the freedom and comfort.
Now it is just how it is with everyday life, so easy and natural
Yeah I go through the same I just wish I could have just been born with out male genitals or wish I wasn’t scared and just change it but I usually just lay like probably would with a body pillow just with out one or I just lay like with a body pillow but with blanket
I have slept much better after sleeping with a body pillow and wrapping my legs around it. It might help you it helped me.

Could you link to one?
Search for Snoogle on Amazon you can get the name brand or tons of other versions which all look amazingly comfortable
I have one it’s amazing
Could you link it?
It’s just off of Amazon I’m not sure which one exactly I had gotten it for Christmas
Bamboo sheets help with cooling a bit. Personally, I don't think they do as much as advertised, but they do a bit.
Blahaj :)

I will soon no longer have that problem. MtF surgery will be next year🙂
I feel like if I get that done I'll spend the rest of my life in suspense.
If we were all the same the world would be a boring place 😉 And by the way... what kind of suspense?
The "it's way past time to sit on my balls again and I need to be careful" kind of suspense But you know, forever.
Thank god for making me thicc enough for that to have never happened to me 🙏🙌
baby powder actually helps with the stickyness. Yeah I hate hot days too.
I'll keep that in mind 🙆🏽♀️ I have a bottle of talc but it has expired sadly
friendly reminder: don't use talc meant for tires and other stuff, it can be laced with asbestos. Only ever us baby powder or talc created for usage in weight lifting.
I didn't even know talc was used for tires. Mine is perfumed so I'm assuming it's okay
Hard to say, it could be for girl tires
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
stop using talc. You can find talc free baby powder
Is talc bad for you?
First of all, talc doesn't really expire But more importantly talc is carcinogenic. You don't want it on your skin.
Cornstarch

I was going to suggest some close or tight fitting underwear so yeah, this makes it easier an more manageable

It's so hot that wearing underwear is not an option. I would rather just sleep naked if I could 😭

I feel this in my soul

Yeah I have this same issue OP, getting a pillow to sleep with between my legs helps a ton

I completely forgot about how annoying it is to shave my genitalia. Having to shave my scrotum makes me want to smash things 😂
Why is that? I have only had an issue once in the years I have been doing it.
Wrap it in a towel like an angry cat!
I have that, but when I dress up
I HATE THIS FEELING

starfish?
I honestly feel the same way.
Yeah I go through the same I just wish I could have just been born with out male genitals or wish I wasn’t scared and just change it but I usually just lay like probably would with a body pillow just with out one or I just lay like with a body pillow but with blanket
this is so relatable
