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!

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
