Let me tell you a little about my life, as my story is also the story of TransLingerie. Since I was very young, I dreamed of being a princess, and my school notebooks were filled only with sketches of women's bodies wearing feminine garments. When I turned 18, I decided to move to Madrid to study fashion design and to see what life was like outside of the Canary Islands. In my third year of university, I decided—fearfully—to begin my transition. I felt somewhat lost, as there was no information, guidance, role models, or clothing for our community. I searched the internet for garments that could replace adhesive tape or the three pairs of panties layered on top of each other, but I found nothing. So, I started researching fabrics and patterns that would fit my body and make me feel comfortable with my appearance. One day, I discovered a shape and fabric that adapted perfectly and concealed everything in a comfortable way. After using it for some time, this panty that I had created held me in place, provided support, and discreetly covered my genitalia. I showed it to my friends, who then showed it to their friends. Through word of mouth, people started placing orders, and without even realizing it, TransLingerie was born. Over time, I learned about trans men and the challenges they faced in finding clothing that suited their bodies. Talking to them, I discovered that many used adhesive tape to flatten their chest and achieve a more masculine torso appearance. That’s when I started designing binders—the garment used to compress the chest. By 2016, orders were coming in from all over Europe, thanks to pioneering websites and magazines within our community. In 2018, seeing the social progress and the increasing demand from parents supporting their children from an early age, I decided to create TLMermaids, a product line for the little ones. I was happy to address the needs of the future generations of our community. Today, we reach every country in the world, bringing comfort and confidence to all corners of the globe. We have had American models from RuPaul’s Drag Race, such as Carmen Carrera, Gia Gunn (who even launched her own lingerie line with TransLingerie), and Laganja Estranja, as well as Latin figures like Mexican influencer Victoria Volkova and Chilean model Florencia Bascolis. Spanish personalities such as Carmen Jedet, Alma Gormedino, Violeta (daughter of Nacho Vidal), and Alex Delacroix have also been part of our journey. In 2020, we organized the world's first transgender lingerie fashion show, and in 2023, we presented our swimwear collection on the runway. As of 2024, Silvia Matos is stepping down as the director of TransLingerie, with a private company now managing the brand. However, Silvia Matos remains on the board of directors, now with more time for herself—something well deserved after 11 years leading the brand. Every day, thanks to you, we continue working to support and protect the needs of my people—my community. Our job is to make you happy every day. video link https://www.mtmad.es/yasss/silvia-matos-translingerie-ropa-interior-transgenero_18_2853120272.html
