Caitlyn: 'I wore bras and panties while I was Bruce'

It was many years before Caitlyn Jenner was truly able to be herself, and the reality star has now opened up about how she coped with her identity struggles while being a man.

Speaking to KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O show, the 67-year-old reveals she used to wear women's underwear when she was Bruce, and no one who watched Keeping Up With The Kardashians would even have known.

"Before when I would travel I'd have two suitcases, one for her, one for him," she explained to the Australian radio hosts.

Then talking about the speeches she used to deliver, Caitlyn revealed she'd be "standing up there in my little suit and tie and underneath I would have a bra and panties on or pantyhose or something like that underneath my suit just to make me feel better".

She added: "I'd done the speech so many times that I would stand up there and I would look at the audience and I would think to myself, 'you know what, you just don't even know me'".

Fans of Keeping Up With The Kardashians would've seen Caitlyn as Bruce in the popular reality show over the years.

The media personality parted ways with ex-wife Kris Jenner amicably in 2013 and they officially divorced in March 2015.
