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.

If you hate socks and never wear them, you're welcome to pipe in with that. Im hoping folks will have brands they can either recommend or give warnings about.

My routine is to shower before bed and moisturize my feet with lotion and slip on socks. I seem to think this helps trap the moisture. I tend to just wear whatever nice quality 100% cotton socks I can find, usually "long" socks that go above the ankle (I guess they're called crew socks). That's mostly so I don't accidentally rub them off my feet while I'm asleep.

I'm always having trouble finding nice socks. I found some really nice, thick cotton socks in a small boutique while walking around in Portland, OR but I don't know the brand or whether I could find them anywhere. They were expensive but they're holding up better than other socks I own, so far anyway.

Like you, I wear out the socks and get holes in the heels or ball area, and I never have enough time to repair them properly (so of course I hoard them in a bin full of mismatched holey socks that someday I swear I will get to repairing - you know, when I "have time").

I thought the socks I bought from Pact were too thin for my purposes, but they do have nice cotton socks (I got some with strawberries on them! 🍓🧦✨).
