Title: Tucking: How Far is Far Enough?
Post by: JennyE on August 31, 2007, 11:52:54 AM
I am very new to tucking and though I find I can get my testes in position reasonably well, I cannot seem to get them to stay there. What I am wondering is just how far up can they go? I have never pushed them up so far that I have pain but I also never seem to get them to stay put even wearing tight fighting underwear. I have not yet tried taping because I am a little scared of shaving. Can anyone hep me out?

I remember before they shrunk from HRT, mine would slide out too.  I found stuffing them up, folding the thing back and stuffing the loose skin they were sitting in up there as well and then wearing something tight to hold them in place (cutting off the legs of some control-top tights and and using the panty works well for this) should give you a fairly smooth appearance.  There should be no pain, because if there is, you're doing it wrong.  I've found this technique works well enough that even just last night I was standing in the women's dressing room (for my musical) in just tights and a bra and you could not see anything but smoothness there.  I probably could have done it in just underwear, but I wasn't going to risk it showing. :P

Yes, at first you do have to be careful, and it takes a bit of experimentation to reliably find those cavities that your full-sized adult testes can be hidden in.  The weirdest thing for me was finding that I had to be very careful of the mons pubis area, which is where in me the cavity and my tucked testicles were -- I could no longer bump that part of my pelvic region against anything.

I use L'eggs Sheer Energy control top with the legs cut off.  I've found it easiest to cut the legs of if I stand on the toes and stretch the waistband up to my waist.  The scissors render a neat cut that is less prone to running/unraveling and rendering the homemade gaff unusable before its' time.

pop them up into place... reach behind you and pull the loose skin back and taught... then pull the *ahem* back and taught <but not too much so or you risk cutting off the blood supply and thats extreemly uncomfortable...>  And either a pair or two of tight panties... or one of those steffi gaff thingies... <cuttoff pantyhose... instructions for actual gaff found in the wiki under tucking and tapeing>

If your of above avrage endoument... most forms of tucking will be inadiquite for certian items of clothing... but for skirts and jeans and stuff its generaly fine...

So do you find they stay there on their own or do you need the L'eggs to keep them in place? Did it take some time to discover how far they can go? What do you find works best for you when wearing a swimsuit?

Mine did NOT stay in place before HRT unless I had the pantyhose top on.  Now they kind of do, but sometimes like to slide down on their own anyhow.  Pulling the skin tight keeps them in place and the control top keeps the skin in place.  As for a swimsuit, if it's a 1-piece, you can probably use the pantyhose method, but if it's something like a bikini, probably some clear duct tape.

I just want to point out that even if you feel a little slipping, odds are its not going to be seen under jeans.. try one of the methods (tight panties, or the steff-gaff) and put on a pair of jeans (as long as the jeans aren't too loose)... move around  untill you feel the slipping, then look in the mirror... Odds are you won't be able to tell :)

Hello Jenny.

Hiding the little buggers can be a bit of a chore and there is also the risk of pain and hurting yourself as well.  I you haven't already done so, you may want to check out our Wiki article on this subject.  It can be found at the following link:

Tucking and taping (http://susans.org/wiki/Tucking_and_Taping)

The article also includes instructions for making the Stephiegaff

If your wearing a two piece swimsuit, dont go with a bikini... even after so much time on HRT it took makeing some specialy modified gaffs <tripple strenght, with plastic molding, and not comfortable unless in constant motion.> and sticking them into the bikini bottoms...

If the bottom is a boyshort style you may be able to get away with the normal methods....  if your like me tape is kinda out of the question as it still dosnt conceel things well enough.....

Thank you everyone for your advise. I have taken the plunge and shaved and taped and I am glad I did. What a difference!

Thanks again
Jenny

I just read the wiki article and it explains about using duct tape.
I use it a lot in the course of my work (taping dust suits to arms and legs etc) and it is very sticky and painful to pull off quickly, and can also cause skin irritation if used for long periods, as I found out.
Also, what happens when you get caught short and have to run to the bathroom in a hurry then find you cant get it off easily?
If you are in a public restroom and other users hear muffled screams followed by the sounds of duct tape being used, how are you going to explain to the police that you weren't really trying to kidnap someone?
"Honestly officer. I only came into the ladies toilet so I could wrap duct tape round my penis."
Suddenly kidnapping doesn't sound so bad.
I personally wouldn't advise using it unless there is no other alternative.

i found that a bikini swimsuit bottom thats plain enough and maybe a little small works wonders and hides most everything. no tape... no leggings... reusable and washable.. simple the easiest thing to do. bathroom stuff is quick... getting dressed is quicker and its cheaper andless wierd than the traditional gaff(noooo... im just wearing that to go to a friends jakuzzi later today). apparently its called a gaff(and i recently found out what that was...okkkaayyyyy...).

Apparently I must not be "Well-Endowed" as I had no problems in my bikini at Half Moon Cay. :angel:    Not to get rid if the 12-Pack on my tummy! :D

LOL

Hum...

I never really gave this topic a lot of thought to be honest...I just tucked and went about my business...guess I'm just small down there or something...as for bikini's wearing a size that's a bit on the small size has always worked for me without any problems...then again I've been tucking all my life...well since my teen years anyway.

Duct tape?? All I can say is 'Ouch!' on the thoughts of un-taping!

Peace and love,
Izzy

This might be way TMI :D  But when I was like 15 or 16 or something when I was going crazy and was like about to chop everything off down there I used super glue lol.  Probably one of the worst pains as well as ideas in my entire life :P

Ops...did I say that out loud??? Dang...I really need to learn to filter my thought...they can cause such embarrassment at times...no wait...that's just part of my charm...ya...that's it...it part of my charm!! Boy...am I glad I got that straightened up now...

Crazy Glue??? Oh my...now that gives a whole new meaning to 'Ouch!'...

And I can understand your desire to cut everything off down there!!! Hopefully I'll do just that towards the end of next year if things go as planned...ops...what am I saying??? When does anything ever go as planned??

Peace and love,
Izzy
