I have been trying to figure out how to "tuck" for a smoother appearence. I have read several articles, but somehow I can't master the skill. I read the tread about gaffs and that doesn't sound like a good option. I do wear support pantyhose and snug panties, but there are times when I need a neater look.

Has anyone ever tried super glue while tucking? It seems to me that would be an easy way to achieve a girly front. You just need to make sure you know how to remove the glue.
This seems impractical at best. You'd most likely have to go through a rather involved and potentially painful removal process :o every time you had to go pee. And if you're taking spiro that may be alot.
All in all, not a good idea I'm afraid. And if this was a joke, I don't think its funny. Nope. Not at all.
helen
Sorry but I had to laugh ;D
No No not a good idea at all. No how, No way!!!
Just think some of the glue could seal the hole just when U needed a wee ekk !!!!
Does not bear thinking about.
Superglue whatever next. :D :D :D :D
Sometimes superglue is used to seal together a wound that cannot be closed by stitches. I fell down the basement stairs and tore the corner of my eyelid rather deeply. It couldn't be stitched because of how close it was to my eyeball. They disinfected the area and then glued the wound shut. The glue did not come off for ten days.
I'll repeat that. The glue stayed stuck for 10 DAYS!
I don't think that's a good idea, please don't attempt it.
Regarding TUCKING:
PLEASE don't go to extremes, such a using superglue! The real issue is to make the male parts "disappear," right? Well, the best way I have found is to use VAGISIL (20% benzocaine) on your male parts--all of them. This will desensitize them TOTALLY (of course, this is only for those of us who WANT to desensitize them, totally!). Then, using pantyhose or tight panties, your maleness can be hidden by tucking the testes up and the penis (now small and flaccid) can easily fit to tuck.
Another hint: When you make up, use Baby Shampoo (a very small amount mixed with water) on you face. Let it dry and then make up. You will be amazed by the smoothness that results! Baby ("no tears"--generic is OK) shampoo sets the facial Ph so that, for all intents and purposes, your face "thinks" it has "solid water" on it.
Best,
Diana M.
It's Diana M. again...
DISCLAIMER:
I want to be clear that the adivce given re: Vagisil is only my sugestion. It is what I do, but in no way am I implying that you should try it without asking a doctor about the use of benzocaine in 20%. There ARE some possible problems, and I only do this when I REALLY want to. So, take this as a COMPLETE disclaimer. If you use Vagisil as I do, you do so totally at your own risk.
On the Baby Shampoo: it also is great for taking makeup OFF.
Best,
Diana M.
Superglue? The only time I ever heard of it being used around the groin was by wives on their cheating husbands, and from here there are many combinations and permutations of HOW it was used and WHERE it was stuck to.
No, I don't think Superglue and tucking should ever mix...
Karen
OK call me sadistic, the last two days I have tried to superglue my tucking without any luck, I have superglued my fingers and the glue stick quite well. However, superguling my genital region has failed the glue does not hold? I am using the original superglue on smooth skin and still nothing. I tuck and glue first thing before coffee, a few hours later before I shower it all falls down and the glue just peals off. What am I doing wrong here?
Try Johnson and Johnson's Elastikon tape. It comes in 1", 2", 3" and 4" wide rolls, is flesh colored, sticks when wet (if applied dry), stays for 24+ hours, is flexible with movement, and peels off relatively easy without removing skin (except frequent use). The only downside is with hair, it pulls any off when removed. It's also best applied with talc or similar powder first to absorb moisture. It's usually available or by order at medical supply stores or on-line medical supply Websites.
So we have had glue, then we had tape ... anyone thought of just using a nailgun along with some balsa wood ? Alternatively some cast iron plates and a blowtorch would probably be easier ?
;D ;D ;D ;D
Sorry, that's not much help I know. Seriously though, using tape sounds a lot better than glue !! From what I have heard the whole tucking thing is an art form in itself anyway, its something I have never tried though so cant really offer much in the way of advice. All I know is you need to be in a comfy position and completely relaxed - as in your body being relaxed !! Obviously tucking is never a good idea if the thing you are tucking isn't relaxed !! ::)
Hmmm, think we could have the making of a new television show here - "When Tucking Goes Bad" !! ;D

If you are willing to go so far as to use superglue, then I would suggest using duct tape. That's what drag queens use to hold themselves in place. I even know one that does such a good job taping that they have gone out in the crowd with nothing but a small piece of cloth over the genitals...and it looked flat too. Personally, I don't usually use anything other than my underwear (which ar eNOT super tight or anything. If I'm in a situation where I don't want to chance coming untucked, I use the control top part of a pair of pantyhose over my underwear. It seems to work really well.

Hmmm, Melissa. I've always done it the other way around. I put things in a comfy position and put the control tops to hold them in place. Then some underwear over that. Well, maybe I'll try it your way.

Becky has it right. The thing you're tucking has to be RELAXED. That's what I've been talking about with regard to 20% benzocaine (commonly obtained as Vagisil). You are RELAXED. The glue idea is absolutly WHACKO. I don't even want to discuss that with anyone advocating it, since they've got to be NUTS with regard to their NUTS.

I think I will order the tape and give it a try, my BF likes a truly feminine appearance so thats why I try to look as natural as possible.

I've done both ways. However, washing these things will wear them down fast, so it's better to have your underwear being the thing that touches your skin, since they are more durable in the wash. However, if I think I'll be in a situation where I'll be down to my underwear, I'll wear the control top part inside the underwear.
Melissa
Vagisil? Thats something that I never ever heard before. Ever. Although you can never know it all, one would think that they have a good hold on things till Vagisil comes up. Well thats one for the books for me. :D
~reads with much interest~
i've tried tucking before but i too found that it was difficult to become relaxed and thus frustration set in. vagisil does the trick? i'll have to check that out sometime, thank you Diana. ~s~
~michelle~
I tried the control top panty hose with the legs cut off used as a thong as shown in the Wiki. However, I found that the panty hose leg edges can pinch and hurt sometimes. So I borrowed one of my wife's Always Maxi panty shields with the wings and put that on the panty hose. Now I am much more comfortable with that little bit of padding and protection.
Oh La La!
Gwen
Not for nothing, but there are control top panties by themselves (they come in light control, medium control and extra firm control, I recommend the latter) No need to destroy pantyhose and they're a lot more durable. Yeah, Jocleyn does the layering thing, too, it seems to help.
Quote from: angelsgirl on February 01, 2007, 02:29:47 PM

Ah, but I use the tights that get holes or runs in them, so there is no waste. :)

Rather than gluing, taping or hiring a seamstress to redesign support hose why not try the extra firm body shaper? They're much more reliable than anything else and until some rocket scientist hears about the tucking problem it's the best current solution. For those who remember the five and dimes that are gone with the Schwinn, there was a solution we all enojoyed as kids. They were called Chinese Handcuffs but were a childs toy made to lock the fingers together. They were about the size and shape of a roll of dimes and when you pushed your fingers into each end they expanded and relaxed but when you tried to pull your fingers out they tightened and locked your fingers together. For those that remember them, take that idea one step ahead and add speghetti straps or ribbons to one end that can be pulled up the back side around each side and tied at the waist in front. If I remember right the toy was made of straw woven into a tube shape. For tucking purposes it'd have to be made of something else so long as it still worked. Until I find a desgner to help me create this much needed device, the idea is open to anyone who knows exactly what I'm talking about. First one to find a designer wins! In the meantime, the body shaper works best when wearing clothes that cover it.
I always wanted to use staples, duct tape, super glue or get piercings. Anything to get rid of that garbage between my legs and get a nice smooth look. I think most MTF loathe their male parts and will go to great lengths to hide them completely. If its painful that's ok because the male parts deserve it just for being there.
I found there is no reason to go overboard or invent something new. I settled on tight stretchy panties or control briefs. A quick tuck & I was all set for the day. In the summer I'd use some Vagisil to keep things fresh. I used the medical wrap stuff that sticks to itself but not to the skin when I wanted to be extra smooth. You can use it to keep the testicles up inside. Then the stretchy panties keep the rest of it up against your body.
I tried doing that a few years ago and I'm sorry to say this--didn't work.
If I do this according to the recommended directions, then I'll be very uncomfortable. I'd have sharp pain in both my legs and I'd just rather not risk the pain until I hit to the lowest point.
Sorry to be a spoilsport, but it'll now cost me $4 since I use maxi-pads.
I will try this again "when the time comes."
You are clueless lot.
You use a staple gun, buy one in a DIY shop. Shower and shave, drink a lot, tuck then staple into place. Wear any panties you want. Worked a treat for me last night.
Now how to get the staples out?
mmm
Cindy James :D
Sooo, this is an mostly an old thread, but can anyone else vouch for this Vagisil trick? I was thinking today about how much I would want an anti-viagra -- spent half an hour trying to tuck and tape but getting nowhere. I can get the things in but they don't stay up for long, and all the touching makes things hard to fit into the panties when its time to slide them up.

I've heard of Vagisil, but how exactly do you use it? I know it's not lubrication.

In the UK "Vagisil" is a topical (externally applied to skin) anaesthetic cream designed to relieve the symptoms of irritation (itching). It does reduce the sensitivity of the skin, but not sensation overall...., so as it also makes things more "slippery" I would not think it would help much here.
Vagisil! ???
Wow! I thought me putting monistat in my hair was a little off-kilter.
Hey! whatever works... right ladies. ;D
Just wanted to mention... I remember when I was in my early 20's
me and my GF visited an adult novelty shop.
well there was this desensitizing cream, and we puchased it.
Now this was back when things worked down there.
So I am applying the stuff, the directions say only use a little
but I figured a little more won't hurt... right!
well lets just say that we did not get intimate that night
the cream worked so well that 'it' could've been hit with a
hammer and still wouldn't have responded.

There's also such a thing as a prosthetic vagina (aka Masturbator Female Vagina.) Only problem is the cost (approx. $300 at Transgendered.net).

Have one. Looks real and makes me feel right. But Very uncomfortable. I wish the attachment was better than just a tie.

staple gun? Silly me, I've been using a nail gun :laugh:
But seriously, I've become rather proficient at tucking. It took awhile to figure and to get the right size panties (very important) But alas I rarely have to worry about the annoying dangler falling out any more :laugh:
Ohh
Yes being none flippant paractice makes perfect and I use a padded hip protector to give me some hips.
Virginia Marie! A nail gun! that's what I use to put on my false nails :icon_builder: very punk.
I've found a way to get the staples out. It's all in the diet. ::)
Sorry ;D
Cindy James
cindy, I have to know how you attach false eye lashes, LOL. hotglue?

Too easy! I have some thumb tacks painted to look like nice blue eyes. Push them in, looks as if I'm awake, I've had dates talk for hours not knowing: 1) I'm asleep 2) I've just blinded myself. Mmmm. Time for plan B, Hot glue - no, Araldite! No I'll fiberglass them on, nice and bushy - change colours any time. Lord this make up stuff keeps us girls busy, don't know how the guys wait! If you want a funny story about guys waiting (not my story) just ask ;)

Agh, pain just thinking about that! I'm lucky, I've got better natural lashes than lots of girls do after makeup...

NO WAY!! I spent my late teens early twenties searching for that kind of product, even asked doctors than just shrugged. damn!
I had no control of that thing down there growing up... it had it's own brain.. and it wasn't that bright may I add. Talk about bad timing. sshheesshh! :P
As far as tucking goes I use that control panty thingy that pulls everything in tight. does the trick. I mean I can wear anything too tight until it's gone but ...so be it.
It is very important to be able to get it out quick to wee and get it back in place just as quick when you're out at a busy bar/nightclub.

No this wasn't a joke. I had seen a pictorial of a person doing that to give the appearance of a femining front with superglue. Basically the penis is glue back andthe skin glue around it. I had never though of this before. I always had used tape, bu not too sucessfully I might add.
Bryanne
I too have seen this on flickr. There are a series of photos showing this being done. In flickr go to the group triple A
>-bleeped-< tucks. Ihave been tucked like this but with sugical tape. It takes time and peseverance to do it properly.
J.
I tried the glue once in my teens ,it held through the evening and into the hangover bathroom trips were okay in seated mode. The glue residue came off after a long tub soak, as for comfort i was heavily sedated so i couldn`t say for certain. To put that in perspective about the same time i tried sharpie markers for eyeliner ,really brought out the reds in the whites of my eyes. The maxi pad works to flatten the bulge in too tight pants, or if you d just tried the razor blade ,which really hurt even with the drugs . Now as im older sober and saner i go with the shaper panties , the ones i wear have a thiner material in the rear an sort of pockets to shape and lift my butt . I also have used a thong type gaff with adjustments like a bra strap on the sideslooks great but(t) feels like it could amputate at the first wrong(right) step . I remember something about a hot iron in the Marquis de Sade`s 120 days of Sodom but i don`t know where you can find a blacksmith these days. Nicki
I tuck I use a long legged girdle at least 85% elastene, the buy the size for you, what I do is put in on just stop before your genitals push your penis and sac between you legs pull the girdle up if there is any bulge tuck it back and when you wear jeggings whih are tight you will have the curve and no vpl xxx
I have recently found that a denim or leather skirt tends to disguise the bulge too, as it is heavier than other fabrics. Mine have buttons on the front which tend to hold the front flatter too.
Karen.
Reading the thread I think will try the maxi pad method as well, hugs and kisses xxxx
I. LOLed......
Best way....needs to be fairly smooth down there
Clean ans dry
Find a nice tight fitting stretch panty...mine was Victoria secrets
From the bay.. or even just a cheap thong under a flared dress
Tight boy cut panties work also
So from standing position....use one hand reach around back grab your two
Testes...use other hand to push your thing into your hand behind
Now pull backwards until it is all up your crack and pull panty up
Needs practice with walking sitting everything has to be relearned
But in time it works and it becomes.second nature to the point you
Put on panties in seconds tucked.
Lots of things that I have never heard of, and will never try either. Lots of good advice though <3
Omg .... and after all those years realizing that the other boys were so much bigger and yummier.... I am thankful for the ultra small packaging I had to deal with. I couldnt imagine the horrors of the above for mentioned lol lol lol.
Life is hard. Wear a helmet.
We have tried a number of things, but finally decided that we actually like seeing a little bump. And I am past the point in my life where I had enough androgyny to be able to pass, so now it is more like showing off her control over me. "Look, a man wearing woman's clothes!" sorta thrill.
Like other aspects of non-standard sexuality, it is about accepting who I am, not who somebody else thinks I am.
