Let's face it, as a trans woman having to deal with a "bulge" is no fun. It limits our clothing choices, and can cause gender dysphoria. This is where tucking comes to the rescue. Tucking is the process of flattening your front side, and smoothing it as much as possible. In this post, we'll go over how this is achieved.
1. How to Tuck - Directions
There are a number of ways to tuck, however we're going to cover the most common for MtF trans women.
- Start by shaving your entire pubic area, including scrotum, penis and inside of legs. This will help to make the tucking process more comfortable and secure.
- Apply baby powder or a similar powder product to the entire area to help absorb any moisture and reduce skin friction.
- Push the testicles back and up. This can be done by using your fingers or gently pushing them up with the palm of your hand.
- Next, push the penis towards the back, reach around and hold it in place. Use tucking tape, or tucking gaff to keep everything in place.
- Once your tuck is in place, you can put on tucking underwear, compression shorts, or boyshorts to secure everything.
If at ANY time you experience pain, or discomfort, stop and take a break. The next time, aim for a looser tuck and see if it's more comfortable.
2. Securing Your Tuck
Next you will need to keep everything in place and secured in this position. There are three common ways of achieving this. Tucking underwear, Tucking Gaffs, and Tucking Tape.
1. Tucking Underwear - Tucking underwear are essentially compression underwear, and are specially designed to keep your tuck in place. You can wear any underwear that has a squeezing compression element. Try to avoid thongs and frilly underwear. Although pretty, it just won't keep you tucked properly. Our favorite, and most comfortable tucking underwear choices are from LeoLines, Tuck Buddies and Carmen Liu.
2. Tucking Gaff Panties - Gaffs are made to flatten your bulge and are worn underneath another pair of panties. They are usually a heavier material, or double layered. If you prefer an extremely smooth tuck, you can wear a gaff underneath your favorite panties. 3 Reasons Why You Should Wear a Gaff to Tuck
