Title: Undies
Post by: ChasingAlice on February 09, 2016, 11:32:28 PM
I have an embarrassing situation. I bought bikini undies a few weeks ago. I bought more last week and I have the same issue with all of them. The crotch rips out after a couple of wears. 

So,  I fail at tucking constantly.  I can't hide my testicles because they buldge out. It looks ridiculous and I am at a total loss. I feel like I am going to have to get a chassity belt. I am frustrated beyond belief.

Try a different brand I suppose, don't seem like they have much quality if they are falling apart.

I try to wear clothes that' don't accentuate that area, so that even if my tucking ability are not the best, it's still not visible.

I'd suggest a more durable brand! Maybe bikini briefs aren't suitable for you at the moment and a different style would accommodate you better.

I wear jeans most of the time, it just seems easier since I can go without tucking and no one notices. I especially wear black jeans mostly.

My solution to that problem was Brazilian highcuts.  Experiment around.  In my experience, for the pre-op, the low-cut bikinis -- the current fashion rage once again -- were the worst choice for tucking.

They are Jockeys. 
Peeps are gonna notice if I go commando!
I do like the Brazilian Highcuts!  Super cute.

The bikinis are the only ones that really fit kinda right. I am working with the full package no shrinkage at all yet.

I wear bikini panties, haven't had much of an issue tucking other than the annoying dangler falling out now and then once in awhile when I'm riding my bicycle

In general you could use hanes cotton underwear.

For bikinis this might help:

I just remembered that there is a back door to the HerRoom.com website, called Her Room for Men.  There is apparently a large market out there among men who wear ladies underwear, and this is the only site I know of that caters that market with with standard female items, the same ones it sells on the HerRoom side.  They have a FAQ on knickers discussing what are the best styles for those who tuck,, and a lot of other good advice on fit, etc.  No sleaze at all, and very discreet -- no need to devise some story about why you are there.

Are you sure you are getting the correct size?
The only times I've had problems is with lacy ones.

I just bought six new pair, and I went down a size! Now I have a whole weeks worth. Time to throw out my desperation undies.

Sizing is important yeah. I can literally wear any kind if i have the right size. Boy shorts are a favorite though.

lol. They are the right size. Unfortunately it must be the style. I was like the cut would help my tuck or conceal some. Epic fail. Kinda really disappointed.

Boy shorts it is. Oh well. At least there are tons of cute options. I guess I'll just have to wait and hope.

yeah don't fret too much like I was dealing with the same issues when I first started. I couldn't wear certain styles but now I can wear thongs even(cant tuck in those though lol). Hrt helped tremendously to the point where I don't tuck anymore at all but if I do its really easy and it stays together. This is without using tape or anything.

I bought some sports bikini undies from aldi. They are wide in the crotch to keep everything contained and strong enough to prevent an obvious bulge. I have had them for a couple of years now.

Jockey French High Cuts are comfy, reasonable tuck room.

Felina briefs are super comfy too.

Before HRT and in the beginning stages of hrt (Before shrinkage) i wore a lot of french nickers and French high cuts, plenty of tucking room and very comfortable.

When shrinkage (I had quite alot) took place, tucking is not such an issue anymore, so i could wear almost any panty style. I could even wear some styles of thongs. I found thongs actually very comfortable, it does take some getting use to.

Now since i am post-op i wear alot of sexy g-strings and thongs as a i think celebration of having nothing to tuck.
