Pantyhose Gaff

[Guest Robin Winter]

A while back someone posted a youtube link to a video with instructions on how to make a gaff using a pair of pantyhose. I don't remember who posted it, but I'm reposting it now with thanks to the original poster.

Now, in case any of you were curious, but haven't had the opportunity to try it yet yourself, I finally got around to making one last night. Surprisingly, it works *remarkably* well, though it takes a bit of fiddling about to get it properly in place, but once it is in place, it stays there. It's not overly uncomfortable, considering what it does, and as long as you don't plan to do a lot of sitting down, I think it would hold up well over extended periods, and is something one could easily become accustomed to wearing (it's much like a thong, but tighter). Granted, I can't say for sure how long one would last, but really, you want to be using cheap hose for this anyway, because they're generally not as sheer, and as a result will be more durable and won't stretch out as quickly. So ladies, save those pantyhose when they get runs, this is well worth the 5 minutes it takes to make.

Hi Shilo,

I tried this when the video was posted here before. You're right - it's tighter (more effective) than what I'm currently using, but didn't last long enough for me. I gave up after a week or so - ran out of pantyhose.

I keep thinking that I should spend some time at the sewing machine, but never quite get there...

Love, Kat

True, it's kinda a disposable idea, but for someone like me that isn't living full time, it's much better than the alternatives.

Yeah. Seems an awful shame, but I suspect I'll be buying up pantyhose just for this purpose. Well, maybe some for wearing now too, since the weather is finally cooling. Been too hot to actually wear them.

The bunch I have pretty much have lots of runs or just don't wear anymore, I need start buying new fresh tights and pantyhose just for wearing

Yeah, I made this the other day. Bought a 3-pack of Size A just so they'd be tight. I made the "apparatus" as the video showed. It was OK. But since my "junk" is small anyway, I found that simply cutting the legs off of another pair of Size A's and using the control top itself worked WAY better and was more comfy. I normally wear B size, and actually just thigh-highs, but definately the video led me to what works for ME. I plan to use my "control top a size down" method from here on out whether en femme or not. I like the "boys" and "Pete" as flat as possible all the time. I normally wear a waste cincher when en femme so having the control top section pulled up as high as possible and the cincher on that, my belly stays pretty flat-ish too. I like the tight supportive feeling, and I can wear this even if I have to be in "boy mode"...yuck.

I have tried making one of these before and I wasn't too happy with the results.

But that's okay because what I do now works perfectly for me so maybe that just wasn't right for me.
