Tucking!


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I read somewhere you should only tuck for less than 10 hours a day or you can cause yourself to get ill and go to hospital is this true? or a myth?

 

Thanks

I have not seen any issues apart from possible temporary low sperm count but this is something to discuss with your doctor. It would not likely be a specific time anyway as people's bodies vary.

There has been no study showing that but depending what you use to tuck may have something to do with it.  I just don't know

I would tuck indefinitely if I could find the right tape to do so. It used to hurt a lot at first but now I don’t even notice it. I’m not sure if a cis man would be able to do the same and perhaps that’s what is being mentioned. I have never passed out from tucking but I have felt nauseous when I was younger and was kicked in the privates.

Where things get dangerous is when you hold your bladder for long periods of time, and in those cases it can cause problems.  That can cause serious illness and kidney problems. 

 

With correct Tucking there is really not much problem with extended periods of time because you are having to go to the bathroom every few hours.*   Of course when you go to the bathroom to urinate, you need to untuck and then re-tuck yourself even if you do the sit down routine.  Just use tummy control panties and learn how to quickly re-do yourself.  After you get used to doing it , you no longer  become engorged and it all fits nicely in place.

 

 

*This becomes even more frequent if you go on the most prescribed Testosterone blockers which are diuretics.

I have been tucking for 15 years now.  When I tuck, I tend to push everything down and then wear a gaff or tight panties to hold everything in place.  on the rear accusation, I would use tape for like 3 or 4 hours.  otherwise I used tight panties and a gaff.  But I am also lucky that I am a cancer survivor of testicular cancer and all I have to hide thanks to the hormones is a small shaft that is very easy to hide.

I tuck all the time now too. I will often tuck as I lay in bed.  Depending on how calmly I sleep, it will last for a few minutes or a few hours. The testicles want to be away from the heat of the body for optimal operations, I do think tucking help lower, maybe just slightly, T levels. I rarely get spontaneous erections now...and I do NOT miss them. 

 

I thinking of taping as related, but different. Be careful taping. The tightest taping job makes it impossible to pee. I use KT Extreme tape in a crisscross pattern. I leave the glans of the penis uncovered. It feels and looks good. I'm very flat,  I have to pee sitting down, and use toilet paper after. This method leaves the glans in a pretty sensitive spot, so a panty liner can make things more comfortable. When taping is uncomfortable it is torture, but when you get it right it really feels ans looks amazing. Play around and see what works for you.

Hiya gals,

 

Thank you for all your advice.

 

This is the 2nd day full time, I have a panty gaff and panties too, tucking and walking is fine when sitting down and closing my legs the testicles hurt around 5/10 pain. I assuming this just goes after a while? Today is the 7th day of hormones.

 

Thanks ladies

They will shrink.  I don't even feel them anymore because they are just so small now.  I am just over 2 years in.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!!

      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷
