New skirtman here

Post by Freestyler »

Hi All

I'm new here. I've been wearing skirts for many years, but recently more public than ever. I got 2nd degree burns on both thighs from boiling water and decided that my H&M skirt was the best solution when the paramedics came. I borrowed a pair of sweatpants to go home as the skirt had gotten wet. The next day I had to go back to have the bandages changed, but couldn't get my pants over the bandages, so I wore a skirt (shorter this time) again (had to give the sweatpants back).Has to take the bus and everything. The nurse asked my about it and i said: "yeah, pants didn't really work" to which she replied that the skirt was much better as the wound needed to breathe, so I wore a skirt for my next 3 visits too. The nurses and doctors certainly did comment on it, but were nice enough. It has certainly been the most public skirting yet.

Welcome to the forum. Sometimes it takes an accident. Until four and a half years ago I only wore a kilt very rarely and only for special events. Then one day I pulled leg muscles and was on crutches for a few weeks. As I couldn't get into trousers I wrapped a kilt round myself, buckled it up and went into work. It was so comfortable and so well accepted by work colleagues and the public that after my leg healed I continued to wear the kilt to work one or two days a week and began to wear kilts much more often as everyday wear. Now I wear a kilt almost daily, and sometimes a Midas boxpleat skirt, something I could never have foreseen even five years ago.
