Hello! I went to the gym today for the first time as a woman and loved it. I love wearing spandex because it shows my slim and curvy body (from HRT) but I have to wear over-sized shirts to hide my crotch. While I'm fine with that, I just don't want to also have to hide my booty :)
What would be your suggestion to do to hide the crotch? I wear under-wears in my spandex and it doesn't help. I go to the gym just to jog. If you're going to suggest taping it back, what kind of tape? Duct? Wouldn't it fall off while running?
Thanks!

I have a similar problem with tucking. I can't find the cavity that everyone talks about, therefore I can't tuck. I tried a gaffe- that still leaves a little bump that shows. Also the same results with wearing two pairs of underwear- still have a small bump. Hey! I don't have mush to hide there, but it just won't go away. Tape hurts too much for daily use.
I have medium control spandex shaping panties by Maidenform that work for me. They are called Inspirations.
Got them at Kmart.(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcSSLTJKwUN52h1C9lo4hSryrnJQZwtenHw7RzKxldgGWUSMaSPJzA&hash=ba67816ad0c8ad5f5d8d35cfb34b828adeb06b31)They even work great with my bathing suits.
Thanks guys! This works the best for me but the balls can hurt.

Still looking for other options...
If you only go to the gym to jog, then just jog outside. It's more relaxing, you get some sun, and you'll pass people before they can notice any stuff.
Sorry about zombifying this thread, but...
Isn't there a medical danger about tucking and exercising? I don't know you, but when I bow to tie my shoes while tucked, it kinda hurts if they are pushed further, so I don't know if I am tucking correctly or what. I'm afraid about doing motions such as situps and crunches like that. Not to mention spinning.
