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.

    How long ago was your surgery? Maybe the scar tissue hasn’t settled down yet? I had the same problem for the opposite reason after my mastectomy and it took quite a while before I could lie on my right side. I still have my left boob (40F) and didn’t have a problem with that side.
