Living without Tucking.

[Mayra Viamonte]

How many of you have given up tucking and felt confortable on having a small bulge, just naturally leaving the penis and escrotum in the panties?

Why have you decided to do it, and how do you feel about it?

Go.

I don't tuck, never have really. I can count on 1 hand the times I've done it.

I do adjust things a little, in order to minimise the bulge, but that's it.

For me, I kinda figure if people are noticing the quite small bulge in my pants, I've got bigger issues elsewhere.. It doesn't effect my clothing choices either.

[Oriah]

I adjust to reduce bulge and select bulge-reducing clothes.  I have never tucked.  I wouldn't try walking and working all day like that.

When I first started out I never tucked, owing to a bad experience where a testicle suddenly started feeling like it was being crushed in the middle of the restaurant.

Since I started spiro, only a couple months ago, the boys are about a third their original size and I can easily manage a tuck all day. I really like it because it feels down there the way a female feels.

I have a friend who never tucks. She only wears skirts and dresses, so you can't tell a thing.

Sorry I misread the title of the thread. Please accept my apologies.

  did that years ago, comfort over anything, I refuse to wear tight pants or even ANY pants even, I just wear skirts and Skorts and it solves that problem, I wear panties that fit pretty well and it controls what I have

I live full time, my ID full reads female but why bother hurting myself just for high fashion.

[Mayra Viamonte]

Nice to have a good amount of initial opinions ^^

Now, the reason I ask. I used to tuck painfully at first. The first full year of HRT, I suppose. Then... I just stopped one day. It came alongside the total rejection of the notion of gender, and the self-classification as genderqueer. Losing the obligation to pertain to a6 pre-defined female realm, I just gave up hiding the bulge. I use jeans shorts and pants, and I think the bulge is reasonably noticeable if you pay attention. I don't use yoga pants tough, that'd be overly ridiculous... but aside from that, I just don't care anymore. And I thought that there is certainly people like that out there too.

Hence, the question.

So then, be yourself, girl!

When I wear tight panties it keeps any potential bulge to a minimum.

I do like silky girly panties and I haven't had much bulge even when wearing them.

[Destiny]

I stopped tucking a while ago, I've lost size anyways so nothing is that noticeable. Well I guess it's irrelevant anyways since I still play a male persona still =/

[FrancisAnn]

That's funny I just tucked far back away. I just feel better & so much smoother in pants.  I sure hope one day for nothing to tuck away.

I've always tucked. Early in life I did shows at gay bars & I always needed to look smooth.

Funny life we live.

Occasional I have had a testicle lodge itself in it's storage bay, uncomfortable & took some giggling & manipulation to get it to drop. I thought if I did that to the penis it may take some work to get it out. Fortunately mine is small, with tight bikini pants & pantyhose even with some form fitting dresses or skirts the bulge is barely noticeable. I don't wear pants very much, mostly dresses & a few long skirts just below the knee that are layered or roomy & don't show the bulge. I will never tuck.

[FrancisAnn]

I never bothered with it. Since I had the orchi a few years ago, it's a non issue now.

Smart girl. I wish I had years ago. It would sure be simpler without spiro stuff that makes you go pee all the time.

[Bea]

So I  guess have to be the different one here...

For myself, I despise the whole organ down there and cannot imagine living without tucking. I have never been that gifted anyway, so after so many months of HRT the parts just tuck away very nicely and comfortably. 

[FrancisAnn]

At least you moved forward, better than myself that has never followed thru for an orchi & I know it will be another year for my SRS maybe. Not much extra money here also.

I'm proud of you girl friend. Thanks for sharing.

I never tucked internally but just the way back push or "adjustment" that can still result in a minor bulge in some underwear.  I appreciate the question and clarification of different tucking styles Mayra, and your broad bold sense of gender and expression.  I share your declaration acutely while still feeling more feminine than masculine.  Where will I be in another year?  Gender now seems much more fluid to me and permanence the real illusion. 

Rock on

[FrancisAnn]

Well, I didn't really have a choice. It was have the orchi, detransition, or be depressed and more than likely end up finally killing myself. Never in a million years would I thought that I would have an orchi because I always thought that GRS was inevitable. Once I faced the harsh reality of the situation, I knew that I had no choice but to take a detour on the transitional path.

It was depressing for a few days but that was a long time ago. Now things are a bit better. Yeah, I've had some issues lately but it's just something that I have to deal with from time to time.

Life goes on.

Miss Bungle,

Dear girl friend I hope you have a beautiful day. You deserve it & you should enjoy it. I understand & have considered an orchi however I'm going to hold off as long as I can for maybe my SRS.

Regardless I care about you, thank you for sharing & I'm sure every member of Susan's Place feels the same way.

Take care,

Francis

All this discussion about tucking or not tucking encourage me to have a little experiment today. I tucked everything away real tight, dressed nice & normal then went shopping at my local Goodwill store. I was so much calmer, talked with the women clerks more, talked with some other women shoppers, they all said I looked very nice & even suggested some items. I told all of them even the shoppers that I was trying very my best with HRT however it takes time & that I should have joined them when in was in my early 20's, I've always been a girl or woman.

Now sure why however I just felt so much different. I felt like more of a normal woman with these nice women.

It was great for me.

[Alice Rogers]

I like tight trousers and leggings, I have a several home made gaffs that I use when I wear anything tight, I LOVE knowing that its all safely tucked away.

I would even say that the tight restricted feeling I get from tucking gives me added confidence, as long as I can feel that I know everything is well hidden.

[Emoroffle]

I only tuck when I wear paricularly body hugging clothing, short skirts, and for special occasions where I wouldn't want to out myself by accidentally revealing a bulge otherwise I'm just fine without it.
