Hey!

So I have been doing this since I was like 14 and I love the feeling of not having a penis and all the men I have been with love when I do this. However, I am here to ask what kind of tape does everyone use to avoid pain when removing it?

Thanks!

Tape should only be used for very short periods of time when taping is warranted. Medical tape is the only tape designed specifically for skin. I don't use tape myself, nor have I ever needed to use it.

Try working on tucking without tape.

Love.

I need to know where I can find some tape, I used really tight panties but they were so comfortable

Hi Lelia,

Go ahead and introduce yourself in the Introductions Forum. Let everyone have a chance to say hello to you.

Love.

also brenda i have found that if a girl were good at sewing you can tailor some clothes to erase a slight bulge and make it flat, plus some skirts and dresses can aleviate the need for a tight tape or tuck.

I've never tucked...don't really see why I should. Also, I do pee standing, even now that I use the ladies' (I am NOT unbuckling my belt and undoing my jeans just for that!), so I like having easy access.

i would say that if it gets uncomfortable then be cautious and give the testicles a rest. not everybody body is the same so what one girl can achieve easily may take you some getting used to. listen to your body it will let you know. i find it easy to tuck now but still they can ache after a day tucked and that can be annoying and uncomfortable. it does also depend on the size of your testicles as well as like has been said some on hrt have a lot smaller bits than some so they find it a lot easier to tuck.

A couple times the "tuck" gradually came loose while running on a treadmill, and there is nothing I can do about it. :lol: After being on HRT for awhile, tucking is very easy. I wear two panties just to be on the safe side. Thongs are definitely out of the question.

I too went to THE BREAST FORM STORE and purchased 4 gaffs. 2 black,1 white and 1 gold(the better to go with the rest of my wardrobe). I also tuck so everything stays in place.

Hi everyone, I had a question:

I also use the abominal tuck, but when I do, I notice that the pelvic area directly in front of the 2 cavities seems to bulge out a little, if that makes sense. It's not nearly as bad as NOT tucking, but I feel like it's still noticable (though maybe I'm just paranoid).

Does anyone else experience this? And if so, is there a way to limit this unintended effect?

Hon your question makes perfect sense. The same thing happens to me too. One thing that I do know is that little extra volume is not really noticeable. We notice it more because we are aware its there. Try not to think about it and you will be fine.

Love.

Hi Brenda,

I guess it's not just me after all! I did kind of wonder if maybe I was just being overly conscious of it.

Thank you so much for your reply,

Hi Gina,

We all get that. If someone thinks you are Trans and they know the tell tale signs - then that is a little giveaway BUT, to do that they have to be looking at a womans pubic area (not polite and not very Gentlemanly) and you would be quite within your right to give that person one of your 'grrrrrr' stares. After tucking for a while or taking HRT, the testes tend to atrophy anyway - then they become slightly less noticable. Hope this helps.

Thanks, JustMeUK! Lol, yeah, that's a pretty good point!

I had one more (kinda dumb) question: Some people are talking about the "pantyhose method." There was a video link at the beginning, but it no longer works. What does this method entail?

Thank you!

Not a dumb question at all. Here's a similar video:

In this video they use the elastic from a tube sock, while the prior video (if it was the one I watched a while ago) used a part of the leg of the same pair of panty hose.

The concept is the same. Basically you're making a very tight thong-like thing to hold everything in place. Then you put a pair of panties on over it.

Personally, I just wear a pair of panties and then wear a pair of tights, leggings, or spanx on top. Works well as long as it doesn't get too hot outside. I may have to make a gaff for the summertime this year though.

Hope that helped!

Thanks a million Kaylee, that helps a lot! Yeah, I've done it with tights/leggings before too, but I really want to try Spanx, I keep hearing about them.

(You have a very pretty name, by the way!) :)

Thanks *^_^* it's not really my name but it's close.

Spanx are great but can be expensive. I found some at Kohl's the other day for about 50% off though. There are also usually some on eBay but watch for unreasonable shipping charges and for heavens sake don't get dragged into a bidding war.

Also, they are quite tight. I bought a couple a size down not knowing how tight they are. Might not want to do that ;)

Guest Amber Lynn

Thanks for the info!

I don't want to get too far off-topic, and forgive my ignorance, but: Which kind of Spanx do you get, or if you dont know, how far up the waist / down the legs do they go? There are so many varieties, I'm curious on what other girls like to use. Also, have you found any that help pad the hips?

Thank you so much, Kaylee!

The pair I found at Kohl's are the high-waisted leggings with feet. They fit a little more snugly than the Hue leggings I like, for the same size. I tend to wear the footed leggings when it's cool outside.

I just recently bought a couple pairs of the Spanx "Love your assets" mid-thigh shapers. These two I bought a size lower and *wow* are they tight. Didn't have to worry one bit about anything moving out of place but I wondered if my legs were turning purple all day ;)

I haven't used any with padding. Personally, hoping my figure gets there on its own ;)

Ah - Ha! hehe I was trying to find this topic for a while because I had a question about heat. I get incredibly hot down there, and with that come sweat and then pain. If there an easy remedy that I do not know about? I was thinking of innovating on the Sock video from above and creating a second a pock that you can slide stuff into to avoid the skin of skin contact when you pull everything up.

I was loving my tucking until it got really warm out side. The heat plus the high humidity we get as well as my own furnace... I just don't know what to do that stops the pain.

Best wishes and take care.

I know exactly what you mean, My normal core temp is 99.6 ° F and as such, I have the same difficulty. I do hope someone has an answer to this as I still have not figured one out. If I do find the answer I will be sure to post it here for you.

Here is what I do to make it work for me. I have found that most bikini swimsuit bottoms hold everything in nice and tight and most styles look alot like undies anyways. I find then on sale for 3-5 every year around the time they start putting school cloths out and stock up.For the sweating issue use corn starch as it will absorb the sweat very good and keep things alot dryer down below. Hope this will help you out..

      I feel like it took a while to land in the 'middle zone', but it did happen. But obviously all those decades of testosterone poisoining take their toll, the middle zone is still preferable to the old life. 
    • Susan R
      Everything that @MaybeRob said above is spot on with me too. The changes are much more subtle the older you start. I started HRT at 56 and of the feminine physical changes I experienced from HRT, 80% of all my changes happened by my 3 year mark. The other 20% of the changes are continuing still.   The feminine results I still see change happening in include: reduced and thinning arm, leg, and body hair, body fat redistribution to my hips and butt. There may be still some minor facial fat redistribution but at this point it’s getting harder to tell. The facial fat redistribution started after year 1. Also, I’m still on Progesterone which was added into my HRT regimen after year 1. I believe that is responsible for increasing the size and darkening the color of my nipples to a much more feminine look. I was happy about those changes because my BA procedure alone did nothing to improve that aspect of my breasts. I will be getting off Progesterone at the end of this year now that it has done its job. I will be 6 years on HRT this September. I’m guessing I may have a year or two left before all the expected changes will have occurred.   Hope that helps a little, Susan R🌷

      Trans Group Zoom Meeting Tomorrow!!   It’s almost time for another Zoom Meet-up and I’m sure it’ll be another entertaining time to get together with others from our community. As usual, these meeting can last up to 4 hours or longer. Come when you can and leave whenever you want. The start times are listed below.   If you need a Zoom Link, Message me as soon as possible as I will be gone early all day tomorrow (Sat.). I will PM you a link here before I leave for the day tomorrow. See you all next week.   Have Fun! Susan R🌷   From Zoom Host AllieJ: We had 15 at our last zoom of April, with great discussions as usual. When there are this many people attending, we have to be a little stricter with keeping our talking time short and watching for hands up so everybody can contribute. Best is to use the electronic ‘Raise Hand’ so it is more visible.    Trans Group Zoom Meeting Times: May 4, 2024 6:00 PM Pacific Time May 4, 2024 8:00 PM Central Time May 5, 2024 11:00 AM Australia/Melbourne

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.
    • MaybeRob
      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."  
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.

      Decided to head for Lowes after work early and bought a new stove.Was in stock and put it back of my truck.Luckily a neighbor of mine whom does appliance repair did come to remove the connection and convert the stove to natural gas in the new one.Was set up for propane.Happy with it and the scrap metal guy came to pick up my old one.He was happy to get it,said he needed one more to make it a load in his trailer full of junk appliances

      I've been thinking it is a matter of belief.  They simply do not believe someone can validly be transgender and should not be allowed to practice their beliefs, but should be forced to practice their belief, that is, that there is no such thing as transgender and it is all mental illness/sin/hormonal imbalance. 
    • KatieSC
      I am really kind of sick of everybody who is not transgender deciding on what we need and do not need in the way of procedures. They act like all of this is play acting, and we can just apply cosmetics to our entire body. It might be refreshing if someone asked us directly what services we need in order to transition. I could say more as I am frustrated, but I do not want to violate the TOS.
