Alternatives to Tucking

[Pixie]

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!

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!.
