Hey!

So I have been doing this since I was like 14 and I love the feeling of not having a penis and all the men I have been with love when I do this. However, I am here to ask what kind of tape does everyone use to avoid pain when removing it?

Thanks!

Tape should only be used for very short periods of time when taping is warranted. Medical tape is the only tape designed specifically for skin. I don't use tape myself, nor have I ever needed to use it.

Try working on tucking without tape.

Love.

I need to know where I can find some tape, I used really tight panties but they were so comfortable

Hi Lelia,

Go ahead and introduce yourself in the Introductions Forum. Let everyone have a chance to say hello to you.

Love.

also brenda i have found that if a girl were good at sewing you can tailor some clothes to erase a slight bulge and make it flat, plus some skirts and dresses can aleviate the need for a tight tape or tuck.

I've never tucked...don't really see why I should. Also, I do pee standing, even now that I use the ladies' (I am NOT unbuckling my belt and undoing my jeans just for that!), so I like having easy access.

i would say that if it gets uncomfortable then be cautious and give the testicles a rest. not everybody body is the same so what one girl can achieve easily may take you some getting used to. listen to your body it will let you know. i find it easy to tuck now but still they can ache after a day tucked and that can be annoying and uncomfortable. it does also depend on the size of your testicles as well as like has been said some on hrt have a lot smaller bits than some so they find it a lot easier to tuck.

A couple times the "tuck" gradually came loose while running on a treadmill, and there is nothing I can do about it. :lol: After being on HRT for awhile, tucking is very easy. I wear two panties just to be on the safe side. Thongs are definitely out of the question.

I too went to THE BREAST FORM STORE and purchased 4 gaffs. 2 black,1 white and 1 gold(the better to go with the rest of my wardrobe). I also tuck so everything stays in place.

Hi everyone, I had a question:

I also use the abominal tuck, but when I do, I notice that the pelvic area directly in front of the 2 cavities seems to bulge out a little, if that makes sense. It's not nearly as bad as NOT tucking, but I feel like it's still noticable (though maybe I'm just paranoid).

Does anyone else experience this? And if so, is there a way to limit this unintended effect?

Hon your question makes perfect sense. The same thing happens to me too. One thing that I do know is that little extra volume is not really noticeable. We notice it more because we are aware its there. Try not to think about it and you will be fine.

Love.

Hi Brenda,

I guess it's not just me after all! I did kind of wonder if maybe I was just being overly conscious of it.

Thank you so much for your reply,

Hi Gina,

We all get that. If someone thinks you are Trans and they know the tell tale signs - then that is a little giveaway BUT, to do that they have to be looking at a womans pubic area (not polite and not very Gentlemanly) and you would be quite within your right to give that person one of your 'grrrrrr' stares. After tucking for a while or taking HRT, the testes tend to atrophy anyway - then they become slightly less noticable. Hope this helps.

Thanks, JustMeUK! Lol, yeah, that's a pretty good point!

I had one more (kinda dumb) question: Some people are talking about the "pantyhose method." There was a video link at the beginning, but it no longer works. What does this method entail?

Thank you!

Not a dumb question at all. Here's a similar video:

In this video they use the elastic from a tube sock, while the prior video (if it was the one I watched a while ago) used a part of the leg of the same pair of panty hose.

The concept is the same. Basically you're making a very tight thong-like thing to hold everything in place. Then you put a pair of panties on over it.

Personally, I just wear a pair of panties and then wear a pair of tights, leggings, or spanx on top. Works well as long as it doesn't get too hot outside. I may have to make a gaff for the summertime this year though.

Hope that helped!

Thanks a million Kaylee, that helps a lot! Yeah, I've done it with tights/leggings before too, but I really want to try Spanx, I keep hearing about them.

(You have a very pretty name, by the way!) :)

Thanks *^_^* it's not really my name but it's close.

Spanx are great but can be expensive. I found some at Kohl's the other day for about 50% off though. There are also usually some on eBay but watch for unreasonable shipping charges and for heavens sake don't get dragged into a bidding war.

Also, they are quite tight. I bought a couple a size down not knowing how tight they are. Might not want to do that ;)

Guest Amber Lynn

Thanks for the info!

I don't want to get too far off-topic, and forgive my ignorance, but: Which kind of Spanx do you get, or if you dont know, how far up the waist / down the legs do they go? There are so many varieties, I'm curious on what other girls like to use. Also, have you found any that help pad the hips?

Thank you so much, Kaylee!

The pair I found at Kohl's are the high-waisted leggings with feet. They fit a little more snugly than the Hue leggings I like, for the same size. I tend to wear the footed leggings when it's cool outside.

I just recently bought a couple pairs of the Spanx "Love your assets" mid-thigh shapers. These two I bought a size lower and *wow* are they tight. Didn't have to worry one bit about anything moving out of place but I wondered if my legs were turning purple all day ;)

I haven't used any with padding. Personally, hoping my figure gets there on its own ;)

Ah - Ha! hehe I was trying to find this topic for a while because I had a question about heat. I get incredibly hot down there, and with that come sweat and then pain. If there an easy remedy that I do not know about? I was thinking of innovating on the Sock video from above and creating a second a pock that you can slide stuff into to avoid the skin of skin contact when you pull everything up.

I was loving my tucking until it got really warm out side. The heat plus the high humidity we get as well as my own furnace... I just don't know what to do that stops the pain.

Best wishes and take care.

I know exactly what you mean, My normal core temp is 99.6 ° F and as such, I have the same difficulty. I do hope someone has an answer to this as I still have not figured one out. If I do find the answer I will be sure to post it here for you.

Here is what I do to make it work for me. I have found that most bikini swimsuit bottoms hold everything in nice and tight and most styles look alot like undies anyways. I find then on sale for 3-5 every year around the time they start putting school cloths out and stock up.For the sweating issue use corn starch as it will absorb the sweat very good and keep things alot dryer down below. Hope this will help you out..

      Not all conservatives are for Trump.  I am far from thrilled he is running.  Just wanted to make that clear.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Anybody willing to present the case for Trump? Any conservatives out there?
    • MaeBe
      Two words(?): Project 2025   Please provide links to the "political calculus" referred to, I'd be interested to know where this is coming from. It seems odd that anyone would be advocating to vote in a President that has stated that he will try to use the federal government to go after LGBTQ+ people because voting back Biden, that is not doing that, might cause some state legislatures to put forth more discriminatory laws.   LGBTQ+ people are not safe in a MAGA future.
    • Ashley0616
      It's awesome that you have had such a great friend in your life! I could only imagine what losing felt like to you. It's neat that you worked for the airlines. Did you take advantage of the space availability fights? My dad worked for Northwest and always flew every single summer except one where we drove from north Mississippi to Phoenix, AZ. My parents agreed to never do that again lol. 
    • Ashley0616
      The trans community won't be good under Trump at all. Biden is the one who has done more for the trans community than any other presidents. Last time Trump was in office he was at an LGBTQ rally and his support went quickly away from us because the majority of the voters are anti trans. He is going to get rid of our rights and also come after the rest of LGBTQ.  I don't know where you heard we would be better under Trump.    Trump unveils sweeping attack on trans rights ahead of 2024 (axios.com)   Trump Promises to Go After Trans People if Re-Elected (vice.com)   Trump promises to ban transgender women from sports if re-elected (nbcnews.com)

      Post 7 “The Pittsburgh Years” When I retired from the Army, we moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania because I had been hired by US Airways to work in their flight training department.  The transition to civilian life was a bit of an adjustment, but I never really looked back.  At the same time, I was excited at the prospect of having more Sally time. But with work and two teenage boys in the house, getting to be Sally was a challenge.    The biggest issue in this regard were my sons, as they didn’t know about my feminine side.  My wife and I discussed, in great detail, whether or not to tell them.  If they had known about Sally, it would have been much easier to actually be Sally when I wanted to.  But I still didn’t know exactly where my transgender journey was going to take me, and this uncertainty was the primary reason my wife and I decided it wasn’t the right time to tell them about Sally.  Except for the convenience it would afford me, we didn’t think it was fair to burdened them with such a sensitive family secret if it wasn’t absolutely necessary.  If at some point things changed and it looked like I might be heading towards transition, my wife and I agreed we would revisit our decision.   Despite having to tiptoe around the boys I was able, with my wife often running interference for me, to significantly increase my girl time.  The nature of my variable work schedule meant that often days off occurred during the week when the boys were in school, and on those days, I took full advantage of the time.  Additionally, I had discovered a new trans friend through a local support group, and my wife, ever and always accommodating, ensured I had time for outings with my new friend.    Willa, my new friend, quickly became my best friend, and after only a short time, she and my wife became quite close as well.  With Willa’s help, I would soon discover that Pittsburgh was a very trans friendly city.  Together, she and I made the town our own.  We attended the theater, the symphony, we went out to dinner regularly, and I think we visited every museum in the city.  With Willa’s support and friendship, I was actually becoming quite the girl about town.    Willa and I had a lot in common.  We loved to shop, we had similar feminine styles, and we had similar views and feelings about being trans.  In fact, our frequent and deep discussions about transgender issues helped me begin to understand my transgender nature.  Having Willa as a springboard for all topics transgender, was probably as effective as regularly visiting a therapist.  I would never discount anyone’s desire to seek professional help, but having an unbiased confidant, can also be an effective method for self-discovery.    Exploring the city as Sally and spending time with Willa was instrumental in helping me understand my transgender nature, and would begin shaping my transgender objective.  My feelings about the kind of girl I was and where I wanted to go began to solidify.  Being out and socializing as Sally in a big city like Pittsburgh, taught me I could express my femininity without issue.  I honestly felt confident I could live my life as a woman; however, remaining completely objective, I just couldn’t see giving up the life I’d built as a man.   At that time, I was being heavily influenced by the concept of the gender binary, which had me thinking I had to choose between being a man or being a woman.  It was Willa who reminded me there were no rules requiring gender identity to be binary.  During one of our deep discussions, she posited the idea of enjoying both genders, something she was doing, and a concept that made a lot of sense to me.  I was already living the life of a part-time woman, so I simply started paying more attention to how that was making me feel.    One characteristic that was dominating my feminine self-expression (and it continues to this day) was that when I was Sally, I was “all in.”  When I became Sally, it was such a complete transformation that I truly felt like a woman.  The feeling was powerful, and if I had to describe it another way, I’d say it was akin to an actor, so into the part, they actually become the character they are portraying.  That was me, and I discovered that this level of depth was extremely fulfilling, and that feeling tended to last long after transitioning back to my male persona.  Part-time womanhood it seemed, was actually working for me.    Eventually, a job change forced me to move away from Pittsburgh, but the enlightenment I experienced while living there has shaped the nature of my bi-gender personality to this day.  Even after leaving, Willa and I remained the best of friends.  We had many more adventures, some of which I will detail in later posts.  Sadly, Willa passed away two-years ago after contracting a prolonged illness.  Her loss was hard to take and I miss her dearly.  However, I have so many fond memories of our times together, and because her support helped shape me, she lives on in my heart.   Hugs,   Sally

      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? 
    • Ashley0616
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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.
