Changing Tucking Methods


Dakota16

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this really belongs on this forum or not. If I'm wrong please move it to where it's better suited.

Being short on money lately, I've looked to other methods to tuck the unnecessary junk. My only way so far has been tape but that's becoming expensive. So earlier this week I revisited some tucking videos on YouTube so I can start using homemade gaffs. It's been hit-and-miss with it this week. I've found that using a gaff is definitely more comfortable at first, but I've noticed something making me think I'm not quite doing it right. Most of the time, within minutes my...guy...part...ends up sliding back into itself and would pop out the front if my panties weren't there to keep it from coming out all the way. When it's done sliding back to the front, it's still comfortable even though I've read pushing it back into yourself can cause harm (which I want to avoid). It takes a couple of adjustments to get it to stay in place, but when I do get it to stay it gets painful after a couple of hours. Once it starts hurting, I haven't been able to adjust it to make it more comfortable.

Has anyone else experienced this while using a gaff or is it something I'll just have to live with until I'm used to not using tape all the time?

Tucking is going to be a problem until you get the idea that female clothing is your just plain ordinary clothing to wear.  Stress and worry about how you look is a large part of why you have to use the extreme measure of taping.  It took me a while to get there, but with comfort and the resulting confidence, a pair of tummy control underpants ( which also make your backside nice and smooth), pushing my testicles up inside the inguinal canals and not even really caring where my penis pointed did the job.  I did not swell up when I did it by that point. That combo worked for use under even my male clothing and was just my way of getting dressed for the day.  Toilet stops were sit downs to be sure, and gave me the privacy to put everything back in order.

My other suggestion is to check out your wardrobe and see what things REALLY need a letter perfect tucking job.  I would suggest spending money on some looser full skirts or tops that come down mid thigh, past the crotch area.  This was another one that did take me some time to realize, but unless you are with a whole club of CD newbies, no one is going to be looking at your crotch even if your molehill seems like the Himalayan mountains to you.  "A Line" or empire waist dresses were a wonderful feeling and the comfort helped hold things in place for what little was needed.

I used to wear clothing that didn't emphasize what's down there.  Most modest women do the same.  HRT cured most of the problem until I bought better plumbing.  Giggle. Now I  can be a bit showy. Why yes,  quite proud of my little  vee!

I use two methods but both involve initially pushing testicles as per Vicky's post.

When wearing leggings or jeans I tend to tuck my penis underneath my body (folded back). As the leggings / jeans have holding power I don't need to wear very firm control panties. When arranged right there is little bulge (no more than many cis women) and things stay put as long as I am not cycling or doing anythis else too energetic.

When wearing a dress or skirt that is fairly loose fitting, another approach I use is to point my penis up toward my tummy and hold using firmer panties. There is more of a bulge but the skirt covers it. This is what I do when cycling as it is more comfortable anyway. The panties I often wear here are Sloggies which are not control panties as such but well made and cover well.

I have never used a gaff as I have found that, at least for me, there are variations of womens clothing available to sort my issues. I am not greatly endowed so perhaps less of an issue with me, but in principle, at least for the average person, that will be the case.

One thing I did find initially is that some care is needed on selection of womens' panties that cope with a male body. Some styles just don't work with me!

Thanks for the info! From reading everything, I'm probably overthinking this when it comes to everyday clothes. I usually wear either jeans or denim shorts all day like I've been doing long before I even heard of tucking, and although I can see a small bulge on occasion it's really still okay since I don't tuck my women's shirts and they cover it up fairly well. Starting today I'm going untucked with everyday clothes to see how it goes. If anything, I'll just tuck and tape for leggings and skirts since the bulge is much more noticable when I'm wearing them. :)

I'm having problems hiding all of me as well....I'm quite large in testicular region and the gaff videos I've seen on YouTube have helped they are not a solution. Any help to fully hide without tape would be greatly appreciated

I have not had the same experience with pain, but particularly to avoid any embarrasing incident I have had to spend some time in determination of the styles of pantee which work best for me. The main requirement was wider gusset, but some styles also fit my body shape better. I have also found that generally the higher priced, better quality pantee have better hold as well. I tend to use 'Dainty Lady, or 'Sloggi'.

      We should submit all of the poetry from this site's Poetry Forum and see what they think of all that good stuff!    I'd love to frame their rejection letter.   Carolyn Marie

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.
