Tucking (or Unpacking)


Zufrieden

Recommended Posts

On the FTM forums, the subject came up about "Packing".

The complimentary concept for MTF's is "tucking".

For those unfamiliar, the concept is to push the testicles up into the inguinal canal (their little "burrow").

The genitals are then pulled backwards and held in place with tight underwear and/or tape.

I've certainly done tucking before and the visual effect is pleasing, except for the bulge where the testicles are hidden.

But for me, tucking in a sense accentuates and even acknowledges the genitals.

In some sense, I would rather just ignore them as I resignedly pull on my "tightie whitie" men's underwear.

(Getting a size smaller underwear helps.)

Yes I agree the look is very aacknowledging but it reaffirms the fact that they are there. I have trouble on a good day dealing with the idea, it seems like it is me and them. I really view it as some sort of disformity or disfigurement and no one likes that.

I think it's a shame we can't do some kind of swap. Me and a bio male friend were talking the other night about the idea that one day in the future they might be able to do some kind of genital transplant. Wouldn't that be great. lol :P

IF YOU CAN THINK IT...YOU CAN DO IT ! NOTHINGS IMPOSSIBLE. And surgeons are becoming more successful at transplanting things. When taking cross gender hormones the tiny 'boy thingy' in bio girls gets slightly bigger and visa versa for bio boys. So tucking for M2Fs becomes easier the longer one is on hormones...Packing for F2Ms...well that's a different story.

My thoughts were along the ame lines but then I thought I might groos someone out, so I left it but thank for getting my thoughts out. It would be all to eay I think. Classifieds "Wanted: Unused boy thing; call 555-1212" or "Free to a good home; one unwanted boy thing, we just can't afford the psychological 'up'keep anymore!"

I just want to know why we are born with the boy thing permanently attached? Maybe we could, you know, take it off when we didn't want to wear it. Or even cooler, what if we could just by willpower cause the boy thing to appear or to become a girl thing. Same with the top, too. That's it, I'm going to the yellow pages to find us a genetic engineer!

I don't know if anyone else listens to King Missile…

The song "

" was the eighth track off their "Happy Hour" album (1992)

Truly a funny song... as is a lot of their stuff.

At the time, I was surprised to see it get airplay on MTV.

I remember that song now. Did you add this to the transgender songs forum?

Oh No Way Z-----

I have been tucking daily for over three years.

That package i was born with, belongs where i can't see it period...nuff said.

Until one starts on HRT,and the effects start taking place,tucking can be and is a pain in the butt.

But i was serious about not wanting it/not caring if the world saw no bulge/wanting it out of my site.

Let me tell you ...you can exercise,ride a bike,do anything tucked except relieve yourself.

I enjoy the flat front on tight jeans and the vee where there is supposed to be a vee.

Personally,i cannot stand to see my package where it doesn't belong anylonger.

Hi Angie:

You may be right. I haven't tried tucking since HRT. HRT sure makes things more pliable and passive.

Certainly well fitting jeans would be one of my most desirable clothing possibilities. I don't think I'd pick

a pair of skin-tight jeans for my first pair, maybe something more ambiguous. I don't even own a pair of

men's jeans. Heck, I don't own a single real article of women's clothing besides my sports bras. I think I'll

try buying something at a Goodwill since it's within my budget. A female friend has offered to take me

shopping, but she lives far away. Too bad.

Hey there, Zufrieden.

Okay, the world has changed. Getting bolder. Here it goes. I have. All my life. As a child, it took a lot of experimentation. As a teen, I might have done some minor alterations to myself. Wide clear duct tape is my best friend. I have to carry it in my purse. Rest rooms. My mother finally got me some flat rolls for my purse. I also carry a pair of barber's scissors in a leather sheath (multi-purpose) in my purse.

Upside: I can wear almost any kind underwear.

Downside: Restrooms and the tape marks up the inside of the underwear.

Living in the new world…

I know. "What is the transguy doing in the tucking topic?" you all ask? I'm just adding my two cents or so... perhaps it's worth less here.

You know how there are binders for unnatural chest lumps on us men? I wonder why they haven't come out with a version for you transwomen to bind down any unnatural lumps on your bodies. Would it be too painful, perhaps? I don't know since unfortunately I don't really own said genitals... but with my equivalents (labia versus scrotum) I would say it'd be uncomfortable or painful to bind the area for too long. it's still too bad though because it would probably make it easier instead of having to use tape to push them down. I mean, FTMs needed to use tape before to bind their chests, and now we don't. So it would be obvious to tackle the next binding issue in a similar way, perhaps with comfortable padding/forming to give the impression of labia?

I'm not too handy with fabrics myself so I have no clue how such a thing could be designed.

Of course it's inferior to the actual organs but it's the next best thing, right?

Okay, ressing an old topic, not always the best of things, but since this specific forum doesn't even have a page two I figured it would be okay :lol:

There are underwear to do it, it was mentioned in another article. i can't remember what they are called now.

Yes, there is a type of underwear to bind the lower half of the body. It is called a gaff and comes in a few varieties. Some are designed to not only help with the tucking but to act as panties in and of themselves. Others are designed to be worn under something else, be that panties or a swimsuit or anything else you might want to keep really tucked down in. Some even do other things, such as lifting your butt and squeezing down your stomach/waist, but I think that is starting to get a bit excessive :lol:

Now I don't know what they would cost for other currencies, but most of the gaffs I have seen are in the $20-30 range per gaff, with most of them being only $20. You might be able to find them cheaper, I actually haven't really looked much (sucks to be broke), but as soon as I can afford them I plan on getting several. I do the best job I can right now, which is just pushing everything down... it doesn't always work, sometimes it slides back up again, but generally it is nice. I'm guessing if I dropped my panties down a size they might work, but I think a gaff would probably do the best job, since that is what it is designed for in the first place.

The rules of tucking still apply with gaffs, meaning you will need to get used to tucking your testicles up inside you, and then pull the rest down in between your legs. The gaff should keep everything locked into place while wearing it, though I imagine going to the bathroom would be a pain since odds are things would try and come undone on you <_< You might actually be able to find some more tucking tips or more info on gaffs (and other similar things) by looking at crossplay topics on a cosplay forum, since they cover a lot of the things needed to pass as the opposite gender. In fact, that is where I have learned some of the things I know!

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
