Alternatives to Tucking


Pixie

Recommended Posts

So we had a testicular torsion problem several years ago (SUPER painful, I pray none of you ever have to go through that) and the "fix" is to stitch the testicle to the inner divider cartilage in the scrotum so it can't move and twist itself. 
An unexpected side effect is that cuz of this stitching we find we can't tuck that one... 

 

So are there any alternatives other than tight panties and spandex bloomers/swimsuit bottoms to lessen a bulge? Is there like a cup that's low profile instead of the common "more bulge to show" design?

I am afraid that since you have ruled out the tight panties, that you are limiting yourself to outer clothing for countering the bulge.  Full skirts, A-Line dresses, empire waist dresses and all, are not the sexy stuff of Trans dreams, but they will work to keep your privates private in the best of circumstances.  I am post-op and still prefer those to "sexy" tight fitting clothing.  The other advice I can hit you with is that really you will not be "read" on the basis of what is showing between your thighs since some Cis women and post op Trans need sanitary pads for sanitary reasons that create an unfeminine "bulge" and I have never in 10 or 15 years had a problem.  Tucking is supposed to be a "rite of passage" but it is not really necessary once cross dressing ceases to stimulate erotic reactions.

I have a gaff panty (well, two really) that acts kind of like an athletic supporter. It was $12.99 on Amazon. (LINK). Heck, I'd give you mine to try. What am I going to do with it?

 

Basically, it's a cup design that mimics the flat front of a female pelvis with a little "dimple" in the bottom to simulate the vagina. I was always rubbish with tucking, but those got me through.

I appreciate the thought, but my testicles and I parted company a little over a year ago and I couldn't tell you what they're up to today. Your description still had me wincing though. That sounds positively ghastly. The idea of "stitching" anything down there was not a calming thought.

 

Hugs!

I didn't mean to "rule out"- but more asking if there was anything more/better than just that- cuz that's like the only option we've found so far. I was just curious if there was anything else as an alternative to just that. 
I HAVE found that a size or two smaller than I _should_ wear is good for a few hours or so, and if it's like a swimsuit bottom as panties, it seems to mostly do the trick, save for the closest fitting stuff- but you know short of being able to cut it off entirely, what else can we do? lol 

Thanks for the tip about the pads, though. I hadn't thought about those.

Have you looked into dance belts.  There are many styles to choose from.


I had not - didn't know about. Looking at some now, that could be a good option! Thank you! :D

Hello Pixie!

Well.....basically I never tuck anymore. I wear more dresses dress jeans and leggings these days and don’t have a problem.  I do wear a brief panty, exclusively the Bali Skimp Skamp brand.... love the fit and adore the colors!
I also wear the Hanes Leg Boost control top or shaper panty pantyhose. Combined together they provide a really smooth look and is very very comfortable! This gives me a finished look and makes ease of movement with my legs so much more natural!.... as in walking and sitting with my legs crossed. So very natural feeling! Expirement and try new ways. Hope this helps!.

      Them's fighting words, but I intend to discuss this respectfully, calmly and so forth, in accordance with the forum rules.   Considering the one issue below in isolation:   There is a political calculus that trans folk may be better off under Trump than under Biden.  The argument goes that Biden has created such a backlash by moving so far to the left that red states, in particular, are reacting with a swarm of laws that negatively impact trans folk.  Some of his actions strike many people as clumsily forcing unwanted regulation on people, and some of his appointments, such as the luggage stealing bigender individual, have not helped advance trans folk but rather the reverse.  In a second term Biden would make things worse for trans folk because of the backlash and resentment his policies would create.    Trump likely would have negative impacts to trans folk, as he did in his first term with respect to the military, so it is a set of tradeoffs as to which is worse.   Thoughts?

      Can you dress androgynously?

      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.

      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.

      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state.

      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient.

      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.
