I thought the best way to tuck for a bikini is with duck tape, but it's just coming off, probably because of your body hydration/moisturisation and sweating processes... What do I do? I could try to tuck for a bikini, but what's strong enough that it won't come off? I can handle a bit of pain when removing it.

Thanks everyone

Just get a few swim dresses! Then you can be worry and discomfort free. I tried the tape route years ago prehrt and I hated the discomfort. Now that things have shrunken down there, I think I could get away with a bikini bottom now but I still wouldn't do it, too paranoid.

what is it with people using duck tape
the only way to tape is with sport strapping, it doesn't unstick!!!!

Yeah, I don't get it either.. I've got some 3M Medipore and it's done the trick just fine the few times I've bothered.

Pre SRS I would buy bulk and take everyday, got it down so well I could do it in seconds, tight enough to hold in place & loose enough to pee.

Duck vs duct (http://www.octanecreative.com/ducttape/duckvsduct.html) tape?? Ya learn somethin' new every day!

I meant duct

I've heard horror stories about duct tape taking skin off with it when removed.  I don't recommend it.

When I had cojones, I used a 6 inch strip of 3 inch 3M durapore surgical cloth tape with a 2 inch slit down the middle to pee through.

Grace, there are companies that manufacture duct tape that have it spelled 'duck' right on the package, complete with a picture of a duck.   :)  Dani

Yeah, that's what I mean - I had no idea duct tape was once called duck tape, interesting historical lesson! ;D

Nah, it's always been used for HVAC ducts.  Duck tape is just a cute marketing gimmick. *quack*

But, but... the internet told me it used to be called duck tape...the internet wouldn't lie to me would it??

How well does sport strapping hold without coming off?

Thanks everyone for posting, I appreciate everyone's effort :)

It's a actually a medical tape.. And worked well enough for me.

Did you just basically shove your private bits under your crotch, put a tape over it and it didn't come off regardless of sweating? Or did you tuck in a different way?

I don't remember exactly what I did, as I was following a guide.. I only did it 3 times - once including a quick swim. For the most part, I simply don't bother.

For me it never came off unless I pulled it off.

I found it was best to go to a local sporting club and see what brands they were using.
Remembering that men sweat and when they play sport they sweat a lot.
I was able to swim (I did wear shorts pre op) and nothing would unstuck down thwre

I have found the Transpore transparent medical tape from the grocery store to be quite water resistant.

The WWII origin of "duck tape" is historically accurate. And of course it's always a lot of fun to correct a guy who's very insistent in correcting your pronunciation.

I'm a size 10 waist fit for women's size but I buy women's size 8 swimwear bottoms usually with a wider crotch that holds it back and them up without taping. And when wearing skirts leggings or tight pants it's all flat the way it should be
