Many of the 'Advice' letters that I receive are very similar, and I really don't know what else I can add to what I have written over the past four years. Consequently I am throwing open this forum to the readers. If you have advice to give, then please clearly identify the title of the letter, the issue which contained it, and the URL of the page on which it appeared.

I wish I could ask Baby Janet to provide answers to some of these letters, but she is on a long sabbatical leave.

Dear Nanny:

The love of my life, my wife has allowed me, through her silence, to continue to wear night gowns and panties (these are my choices) but she will not participate by encouraging me to wear these items or even more such as, bras, stockings corsets etc.

We have been married for almost thirty years.  We have slept in different bedrooms for the last ten years.  I have been wearing panties and night gowns for at least twenty-eight of those years, with varying degrees of acceptance from my wife.  Also I have worn bras, stockings/garters, panty girdles or panty hose and nail polish occasionally without her approval (knowledge) for about the same period of time.  Another bit of information is that I prefer to keep myself completely shaved, my wife doesn't really mind this except for the time it takes to stay hair free.

I have long realized that when I am wearing any of these items I look at the world through a softer set of eyes and wish to make my wife happier and I am less aggressive in general. Is there anything I can say or do to increase her desire to take control of me through petticoating and or even diapering?

Dear Miss MacDonald,

Please can you advise me what I should do? I have browsed your website with interest.  I have thoughts which I would like to put into practice but I am too shy to ask my wife. I do not feel so aroused by being dressed totally as a little girl or as a baby, but my fantasy is as follows:-

My wife for some reason is in total control of me. As I am going to bed, she pulls me down onto her own bed and pulls the bath towel from me. She pulls a cute pair of little knickers from her top drawer and shows them to me. They are lined with soft white flannel, and covered on the outside with pretty white and pink lace. They tie with two lacy ties at each side.

She then tells me they're for me.

I struggle but for some reason, I can't get away from her. Although she is extremely feminine, she seems to have the skills to be able to hold me quite easily while she slides the soft cloth under me. My heels pound the soft quilt as she sprinkles me with baby powder and pats it in slowly and gently. She pulls the front of the cute knickers up between my legs and ties the pretty lace ties.

She can tell that I am enjoying the soft lace and flannel I am wrapped in. She tells me that and kisses me, telling me to go to sleep.

Can you tell me if these thoughts are held by any others? What has caused me to fantasize in this way, and how could I approach my wife to ask her to do this?
Thanks,
D.G.L.

Dear Nanny Susan,

 I have been reading your site for over a month and a half now. I love the stories where boys are forced to wear girls' clothes. I like them because I am a cross dresser, and have been since the age of 11 or 12. I started out wearing my sister's clothes and it evolved into me buying my own. My mummy found out almost imediately and told me to quit, but I couldn't. I love how girls' clothes feel. then my mummy then told me I could dress up, but to stay in my bed room when I was dressed as a girl.

When I dress as a girl it is usually a young girl of 10 or 11 of  age. I am 30 years of age and living in the USA, but every time I find a girl I like, they leave me when they find out what I do. Ma'am what am I to do about a keeping a relationship, or is there any other advice you could offer  me on dressing as a girl?
Sincerely,
Sissyboy

Dear Nanny Susan,

I really, really love your publication. The letters in particular are absolutely captivating. I never imagined that there could be so many people with similar interests! Thank you very much indeed!

The main purpose of this message is to ask how I might meet people with these similar interests, in particular dominant mummy types that might want to dress me up in pretty, pretty girly clothes (particularly when I'm naughty). I have always imagined that women will ridicule such desires or find them disgusting.
Yours hopefully,
Martin H

Dear Petticoat Discipline Readers,

Have you a partner who snores? Does he keep you awake at night? Then try using a dummy on your partner. With a dummy in his mouth he will obliged to breathe through his nose as his mouth is closed, or the vibration that causes the snoring is greatly reduced, provided the teat is sufficiently large.

A normal baby's dummy will suffice, it doesn't need to be an adult size used for parties etc. but should have a reasonable sized teat.

But should your partner's dummy fall out, then the snoring may resume,  so a method of securing your partner's dummy is required. It could be tied in place with baby ribbon tied in a bow behind the neck.
Pleasant dreams with your sleeping, not snoring, partner.
G.W.

I think that this question answers itself. Female readers should not forget that a baby's dummy is an excellent substitute for hubbies who smoke. It doesn't cause tachycardia like the nicotine gum does, is a lot cheaper, and a lot of husbands will want to be 'cured' as soon as possible!

But not all. Some will become addicted to their dummies, but it's still a better alternative than smoking!

Dear Nanny,

In the summer edition Helen asked where she may be able to get some sturdy rubber bloomers for her baby husband.

My suggestion is to order from Kins Products in Vancouver. I have used their rubber bloomers for three years with my hubby and they seem to wear forever. Make sure you get the rubber bloomers, and not vinyl. The vinyl are quite strong in smell, whereas Helen would know the rubber have a sweeter fragrance.

The bloomers are available from small to super large. Cost is from US$41 to $53 dollars. Kins can be contacted at Taurus@teles.net
Service is good and the garments best quality. They also have other adult baby items from nappies and all-in-ones, to draw sheets and rubber sheets for mattress protection.

A hint: the combination of rubber and cloth nappies provided more than enough protection for baby's bottom if he needs a spanking, so if he has been really naughty, then remove the bloomers at least.

Finally, there is another source you may wish to be aware of: a store in England for cotton directoires, and woollen long undies. The store is The Costume Store, phone + 44 12 734 79727. Very reasonable and good service.
Thanks for a great site.
Tina

And thank you, Tina! I really appreciate it if readers can help out. I no longer have the time to do the research.

Hello Susan,

I recently found your website while I was looking around at discipline web sites. I have to say that I absolutely loved the content. Thank you.

However I have a problem. I would love to make my husband into my baby in the evenings and weekends but am really unsure about how to broach the subject with him. He loves to cuddle and suck at my breasts but he 'backs off' when I start to talk to him like an infant. How can I encourage him to realise that if he gave it a chance he would enjoy it? (and I would too).

I would eventually like to have him accept nappies and baby clothes as part of his evening and weekend routine. Dummy discipline and regular baby milk bottle feeds would be terrific too. But how to get him to accept? I'd be grateful for any advice.
 Thanks - and keep up the stunning work!!! I'll let you know how I get on.
 Mommy Janette

I am sure that if you used the search facility on the web site, you would find that Baby Janet has written something telling mummies how to turn their partners into dear little babies.

Dear Nanny,

I just love the feel and rustle of those 1950s petticoats of paper nylon and those Edwardian ones in taffeta. I have not as yet felt or heard a real Edwardian taffeta petticoat, except hearing one on television in a period play that was a repro.

if I may very kindly ask you what you think are the best petticoats for rustle noise, and feel, and looks, the Edwardian ones or the 1950s nylon ones, or both? And could I kindly also ask you if you own any paper nylon 1950s, or real Edwardian silk taffeta petticoats?
With best wishes,
David B.

I don't own any petticoats, but I remember that the 1950s ones made quite a deafening rustle. Still, an Edwardian taffeta petticoat would certainly be very noisy too. Do readers have any thoughts on this?

Dear Nanny Susan,

I am a petite young man living with an attractive unmarried statuesque aunt.  Recently in a moment of weakness I confided to her about a secret desire to be babied.  She obliged me, to my utter surprise, by buying a supply of diapers and plastic panties.  Our evening ritual now consists of her diapering and pantying me, followed by me resting my head on her lap until I fall asleep.  She is a reticent woman, but I sense she wants to go further.  I know I do.  I would love dearly to curl up in her arms (she is much bigger than me) and nurse at her breasts.  I dare not broach the subject.  Or do I?  I am frightened to ask outright.

What do I do?  Help me. I just want to be her helpless little baby.
J.C.F.

Well, if she is happy to pin you in diapers and buy you baby pants, and then allow you to rest your head in her ample lap, then I don't think that breast feeding would be a problem at all. Ask her nicely if you may kiss her breasts and the rest should just flow naturally.

Dear Miss Susan,

I look forward to reading your magazine more than anything else, on or off the web. But I wonder if you or your readers know where I may get a side-zipped taffeta slip petticoat? I have looked everywhere. Even Ebay have nothing, but I cannot believe they have so completely disappeared.

I wish you well, and look forward to your excellent and unique web site going from strength to strength.
Lizbeth

Dear Lizbeth, I think that the vintage lingerie sites mentioned in the 'General Correspondence' page of the Autumn 2003 issue would be the best ones to help. In fact I think you may have been the reader who mentioned them to me.

Hello Miss Susan,

  I have been crossdressing for a few years now, and I have problems finding my right size in tights I'm 6 feet tall, and waist is 40 inches and leg length is 32 inches. What size tights should I buy? I wear a size 9 panty. I look at your web-site a lot, and I was hoping that you could give me some advice.
Yours,
Wendy

I have a couple of places on my 'Links' page which supply tights in all sizes. Have you looked at them?

I am a teenager and I really, really, really want to be made to wear bloomers and frilly dresses and pinafores and bows etc., but how can I give to my parents the idea of doing it? Is there any way I can try to put this idea in their heads, and yet not come across as a cross-dresser? Please write back.
luv,
Jason

My advice to teenagers is, don't tell your parents. These desires do not go away, but to the vast majority of parents they would come as a severe shock. Plenty of people before you have learned to live with these feelings, and when you are older you will have more opportunity to express them. Try not to allow these yearnings to interfere with your normal, friendly socialising with girls.
