Pantyhose Gaff

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.

They work like a charm for me, Ive got a bunch of tights and pantyhose that are line to be made into gaffs :)

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.

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. :P

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.

      Wow! Hopefully that encounter is amicable! I can only imagine what might be going through your mind right now!   I was a bit of a prude, I don't even need a whole hand of fingers to count my sexual partners on. Good old fear-based Catholic "sex ed" did its number on me.   I get nervous walking into men's rooms. I don't look the part for the either restroom these days, I guess. I did use the women's at the convention I volunteered at (the restrooms were temporarily made gender free though), it was nice having a stall to use without waiting.   The whole bathroom debate is so stupid. Genital-based restroom assignments aren't going to stop people intending abuse and there are laws for handling them already. It's the fear the laws strike and the conditions they creates is the problem, fomenting distrust and hate. Who cares who is in the stall next to you? Let them pee in peace!

      Good morning! Just finishing my delayed coffee after fasting for routine bloodwork.   Just had my annual physical and I came out to my Dr. He was so kind and said if/when I want to start HRT they have a couple endocrinologists who specialize in transition and he could give me a referral. So nice! Not quite ready to jump into that yet, but he was so understanding. Another small step in my social transition. I feel so happy! 😊

      I am ambidextrous. I learned to write righty in school so I usually write with my right hand but my handwriting is better if I use my left hand. I use a lefty mouse. I am physically stronger in my left side.

      Easy, I have felt the same way, not quite to the point of wanting to quit but sitting there one dosing morning and thinking "what am I doing?". I am in a crazy place right now; family is moving across the country, I am being laid off for the first time in my career and have to find a new job, and I'm in the middle of this gender journey that seems like it makes everything harder than it could be. I'd always been a "man with boobs", even when I was in my 20s and really skinny I had breast tissue, and now I'm accepting of that and want more but in a different way--I don't want to be a man with boobs, I want something different. I am something different, but it's hard because of nearly a half-century of social programing. So I empathize with your struggle, very directly.   I haven't dressed "male" for nearly six months and I just volunteered at a conference with my femme nickname and she/her pronouns on my name lanyard. The whole experience was great, I didn't feel a minute of anxiety or worry. That stuff comes at home, when left to my thoughts. Which is more telling? The comfort being Mae in public or the doubts and worry in private?   When I look in the mirror and see this more feminine me, it calms down the doubts and worry, so I'm starting to allow myself to trust in the former.

      Totally!  I started HRT 21 months ago.  I'm 53yo now.  I mostly did not want the feminine genes of my family to take me over.  I told my doctor I wanted athletic breasts.  She has kept me on fairly low doses and I'm avoiding progesterone so far.   It's mostly mental for me.  Taking the pressure off from not having erections is soothing and changes my thinking.  I just want that stuff gone.  I had fun with it, but I'm over it.   I'm extremely happy with what has happened with my breasts.  Perhaps it took more than a year, but they have a feminine, athletic appearance now.  I don't notice changes in the rest of my body.  I've always enjoyed being thin and straight and have no desire for curves.  I can dig that butch with a feminine touch look.  I was upset at cutting my hair, but I'm liking it now.   It's fun to see all these young transwomen in my environment.  Everyone has their own style and the younger generation has a style of their own compared to us older people.   OK, back to baking a pie and doing some knitting....

      I have one daughter who is left handed.  But she is fairly ambidextrous.  Apparently you have to be.

      The time I spent "on the street" was mostly in the woods.  I dislike cities.  Even now my "bathroom" is out in the back yard, and has been for years.  When you're used to it, it's not so bad.  Helps one keep up with the seasons. I have no desire to live on the street in a city. Most of my adult kids live in cities.  It's nice enough for a visit, but I still prefer the country.
