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!.

      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.

      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      You look wonderful!!! A rose among the roses.

      Mine would be SHEIN as much as I have bought from them lol.

      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.

      At the same time there might be mtf boys who transitioned post-puberty who really belong on the girls' teams because they have more similarities there than with the boys, would perform at the same level, and might get injured playing with the bigger, stronger boys.   I well remember being an androgynous shrimp in gym class that I shared with seniors who played on the football team.  When PE was no longer mandatory, I was no longer in PE. They started some mixed PE classes the second semester, where we played volleyball and learned bowling and no longer mixed with those seniors, boys and girls together.

      Leggings and gym shorts, sweatshirt, Handker wild rag. Listening to new Taylor Swift album while strolling through the rose garden in the park.

      Grey short sleeved dress under a beige pinafore-type dress.  Black thigh highs (probably look like tights).  It was cool this morning so a light black colored sweater.

      People love bureaucracy.  It makes everything cut and dried, black and white, and often unjust, unmerciful, wasteful and downright stupid.
    • Ivy
      This is why a blanket policy can never be fair.  Everything is not black and white.

      Men's t shirt, women's jeans, hipster panties, flip-flops that could go either way.

      Common sense seems to be missing from a lot of these discussions.  In my Taylor story he is jumped brutally in a boys' bathroom his freshman year, something he is still trying to straighten out 8 years later and has a radical effect on his life.  Bullying can go either way. Transwomen in the prison system are happy to go to women's prisons, but I have heard that transmen stay in the womens' prison, because they would be killed in the mens' prison.   I am leery of blanket "every kid should...." statements and laws everywhere.  To echo a writer you may never heard of, Preston Sprinkle, you should work these things out with the child, and if necessary, with the parents, and communicate.  I don't think a child capable of penetration should sleep with girls on an overnight, or be in a girls' locker room.  Trans kids have limitations as a result of their condition, sort of like people in wheelchairs cannot go mountain climbing, but here is the social realm. Accommodate as you can, but there are limits.  The cisgender kids have rights.  I am not sure where to draw the line as to whose rights should win out.  Nor am I sure regulation imposed by a Legislature or a school board is the way to go.  We saw Louden.    I see no reason for an mtf who transitioned before puberty to not play girl sports, but a child who goes through male puberty has enormous physical advantages over the girls, and we are seeing girls injured.
